Easy Question? .GBL files...

[RJM2]

I have a feeling this is an easy one, but...

I have a .GBL file that I need to change. I'm not quite sure what this file is. I have a feeling it contains a bunch of global variables, but I am only able to open the Front Panel (the block diagram is not available).

What is this file and how can I change (and save) some of the values in it.

Thanks much,

Russ

Hi Russ,

You're right, this is a global variable VI. Global VIs do not have diagrams. Once you change the values, you can go to Operate > Make Current Values Default, then save the VI. Your values will now be persisted the next time you open the VI.

I also recommend re-naming the file to have a .vi extension, since Global VIs are, well, VIs!

Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic.
