ASCII code

I wish to copyright some code that I have written in LabVIEW. My lawyer says that the easiest way to do so is to print out an ASCII version of the code. Is there any way to convert LabVIEW code to ASCII, just for the purpose of copyrighting it? Thanks.

No. You might want to refer to a similar discussion here on getting a patent on some LabVIEW code.

I wouldn't think that you need an ASCII printout to copyright your work.
Maybe your lawyer is thinking that you want to patent it. But getting back
to your question, there is no text-based code behind the graphic code. I
would think, though, that you could use the graphic code as your patent
artwork. You might check out some of the LabVIEW patents listed at
http://www.ni.com/legal/patents/ to see if they offer an ideas on how to
proceed.
