Programming VI as a sub VI in parent VI

[Kaunteya]

Hi There,

Could anybody please guide me about:

How I can include a VI as a subVI in parent VI, i.e. If I have a VI with all controls and indicators and I just want this VI to be included in parent VI as a icon.

Also, if I am able to do so, how the sub VI will be recalled from parent VI and how the connections are possible?

Please advise me.

Thanks for your time.

Amit.

Hi Amit,

the easiest way is to open both vi´s and insert the sub vi with drag and drop. Move the mouse over the subvi icon and press your left mouse button. Now you can insert it into your "parent vi".

Hi Mike,

I never thought it would be so easy.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks and regards.

Hi Amit,

right-click in block diagram of "parent" vi -> select a vi. Or use drag&drop from the project window.

Or simply take part here to learn basics of LabView as you surely want to have some connections/wires to the subvi too!
