How to write a function block?

[qing_shan61]

Hi There,

Does anybody know how to write a function block with LabVIEW?  Something like those in Real-Time VIs>>Function Blocks>>.

Thank you very much in advance?

Hi qing,

Start here: www.learnni.com or here…

I could not find contents on 'Function Block'

Second link in message #2: first chapter on "Environment basics", paragraph on "subVIs"…

I don't want to overwelm you but there is tons of free training material online.  One of these is the one already mentioned.

Assuming you are referring to these specifically...

...then the answer is that it is nearly impossible to make a new one. However, there is really nothing all that special about them. They are essentially normal subVIs (which you can learn about from the other links) that just happen to have certain terminals bound to shared variables. I personally wouldn't normally recommend that anyway. If you could clarify what specifically you are trying to make, it could be possible to give more targeted advice.
