CLAD problem VI Template

[Prashant_S1]

VI Templates reduce programming time by:

A	providing a starting point for several common VI types.
B	automatically generating code for the user.
C	allowing the user to save portions of their own code for use in later applications.
D	Both A. and B.
E	Both A. and C.

What is your question?

What do you think is the correct answer and why?

Assuming that you are not currently taking the CLAD and posting this question via smart phone, you have unlimited time and resources to research the question. As a first step, search the LabVIEW help and ni.com for the word "template". Maybe you should become familiar with what a LabVIEW template actually is.

For each answer above try to find a few arguments for and against it. then give each a bayesian probability of 0-100% to be correct. Now you also need to assume that only a single answer is correct. After a few iterations, you should easily arrive at the correct solution.

Try it!

I would guess E if I was taking the CLAD.  So much of these exams is understanding the question like a test maker would write it (if they worked for NI).  Templates do provide a great starting point for most architectures that you'll use most often for fairly simple UI's.  They also allow you to create your own templates (for use in later applications). 

Although you could also argue that they sort of generate the code for you by virute of their existence, they don't really do this.  If you get a question about this functionality, they're more than likely trying to get at Express VI's, which actually do generate code after you fill out a wizard.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't say unlimited, what's life expectancy up to now? 75 years?

Semantics aside I would put my vote in for E as well because no code is actually being generated.  But if I copy a VI from one location on disk to another, is that generating code?  One could make an argument either way I guess.

Really?  I would definitely go with A because B seems to describe Express VIs and C definitely describes (word-for-word, I think) the advantages of making a snippet.  [edit] I think I recall this wording from my CORE classes.  You'd think it describes a sub-VI but I think they used that phrasing to describe why you might want to make a snippet.

[GarryG]

Unfortunately, bilko's right... there's some ambiguity, which is why it's wise to hit the practice tests as much as possible (and just generally get some time working with LabVIEW).  I wouldn't count on any one question bringing you over the top and at the same time, wouldn't obsess over getting a perfect score.

My choice would be A. Like Billko said, Choice C leans towards code snippets.

I'm pretty sure that I saw that question on an exam before the snippet function existed.
