I want to hide six terminals on the block diagram. see how NI has done in Find examples->Directory Structure->nican->channel advanced.llb->channel Monitor.vi->channel Monitor->Right Click->Find Terminal. This Terminal is hidden

Please repost again with your question actually in the body of your message.  Perhaps you can post a screenshot in .png file format as to what you are talking about?

Also, I don't see anything about directory structure or channel monitor .vi when I search the example finder.  That path for Find Examples you listed does not seem to exist.

Hi Ravens!

I have attached the VI "Channel Monitor.vi". If you dont have NI-CAN 2.6 or 2.6.1 installed from Device Driver DVD, you might not see this example. In this VI if you right click on "Channel Monitor" Control and then click on Find -> Terminal. You will see on the block diagram only a dotted outline of Terminal. I can not figure out how they have hidden this Terminal.

 As regard sending my VI I have an agreement not to copy or publish any comany's VI.

                                                                                     Thanks!

The terminal is hidden inside the while loop. Expanding the While loop to the right shows the terminal.

My advice is not to do this.

Why would you want to hide a terminal?

I agree, that idea makes no sense. 😮 WHY?????

If you are worried about code security, add a password to the diagram.

Hiding controls simply make your own life harder for programming and debugging.

"Security by obscurity" is no security at all. You'll only fool labview beginners with that. 😄

(Is this "channel monitor" really an example from NI? RIght-click the while loop and select "auto grow". There is an incredible amount of garbage swept under the carpet, mostly duplicate labels.. :D)
