LabVIEW Idea Exchange

I would want the option to create anchors in LabVIEW code, these anchors could be used to

• navigate inside LabVIEW code between different parts of the code
• Easy jump to specific section
• Connect different states as a documentation tool

These anchors wouldn't change the execution of the code, they are only meant for documentation and should be named. For starters they would only be global in their own VI block diagram, but that could be expanded.

In a document describing the code, you could refer to a specific section (loop, case structure), or you could create a note in the code 'this code starts the following case structure' etc.

Every time I need a variant constant, I have to:

1) Pick any function from the Cluster, Class & Variant functions palette>>Variant

2) Place it in block diagram and right click>>create>>constant

3) Delete function.

I believe the variant constant should be in that palette.

I did a search in the functions palette for "variant constant" and it is not there.

Please add the variant constant to the Cluster, Class & Variant>>Variant function palette 🙂

Thanks,

The provided model templates (fitting, optimization, etc. listed here) have the ancient icon style where the text is actually merged into the single layer of the icon.

Since in the typical scenario the text will be immediately changed to reflect the actual customized model name, it would be reasonable if these icons would have the current text editable in the icon editor instead. Currently, we need to erase the icon background before we can start typing or we get a mess.

For example, in the nonlinear fit model, the text "curve|fit|model" should be in the text tab, and not contained in the icon background (see image).

Suggestion: the model template icons should be blank and the current text should be pre-filled, but editable on the text tab of the icon editor.

The LabVIEW compiler currently appears to use one core of a multi-core processor.  It would be nice if it fully utilized multiple cores to speed building of large projects.

LVOOP, "Choose Implementation" dialog box:

I'd love if the items appeared in alphabetical order.

At the moment it's pretty hard to find the desired implementation when you have something around 50 child classes.
