LabVIEW saves control values automatically - resulting in large files

[Daresh]

Hello,

I have a problem in LabVIEW. I'm using Vision Development Module and when I save the VI the file is very large (few MB). When I open it back in LabVIEW it turns out that all values on front panel controls have been saved (including images, what makes the file so big).

Somehow LabVIEW saves the VI with controls values by default, even if I don't want to do that.

How to turn it off?

Hi Daresh,

I think that simply reinitializing the controls (and indicators probably) might solve your problem.

Please take a look at this knowledge base, to find out how to do this programmatically and let me know, if this resolved your issue.

Have a great day!

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately that doesn't help. The controls are initialized on file open, so reinitializing just makes them display initial values and images (which I want to get rid of).

I don't want to change it programatically, the problem is only with one LabVIEW on one computer in our lab, and I can't figure out what may be set different on that system.
