Find example tool - library open

[Honza1]

Hi, I would like to know, how to open libraries, if I want to add new example. I use tool "Prepare VIs for NI Example finder". There I can open some libraries (llb), but some libraries cannot be opened (I cant see VIs, if I doubleclick the library name in the left collumn of the window). Thank you for helping me with this problem.

Hi!

Can you tell me what version of LabVIEW you are using, and an example of an llb file you can't open?

Hi, I use LabVIEW 7.1 and llb file, which I cannot open in "Find example" tool is "aliasing.llb" (see attachment). Thank You. JK.

Now I understand your problem. Thanks for the quick response.

When you prepare VIs for the Example Finder that are included in an llb file, they must be listed as top-level VIs. Top-level VIs are the VIs that someone would actually open up first when they open an llb file. You can think of them as the main VIs.

So in order to see any VIs in the llb when you double-click them in the left column of the Prepare VIs for Example Finder, you must have the main VI selected as a top-level VI. You can configure this using the Edit VI Library utility in the Tools menu. Just browse to your llb on disk, then select the top-level VI in the list of VIs for that llb and make sure Top-Level is checked, as shown below.
