LV 8 project organization

[GS]

This is a somewhat philosophical question about organizing a project in LV8. I understand pretty well how to organize the project for my main VI. What I'm wondering about are some VIs that will process the data produced by the main VI. Both the main VI and the data processing VIs will be turned into Windows executable files. Does it make sense to include the processing VIs in the same project as the main VI or are they better off in their own project? Are there any issues with maintaining the build specifications for the different files in the same project?

George,

Project organization is strictly up to you.  As long as you have the VIs that you are going to be using for executables in the project, what you have included in them is just for organizational purposes.  That being said I would include everything that deals with that function.  As long as the build specifications have good names, having the data processing VIs in the project should make everything easier to read.  I might suggest having the data production VIs under one folder and the data processing VIs under another folder.  For me I would like to see how the data is being produced and analyzed.  Feel free to report with any thoughts.
