Recommendations For Read a Code

[Shimi_A]

Hay I'm new here, and new also in LabVIEW, and my question is...

How can I read code correctly?
I got a code to read and I manage to read it but do not want to get lost in it. Do you have any recommendations on how to read the code properly?

There might be a language barrier here.  Could you be a little more specific, because this could mean many things.  Are you having trouble opening the files?  Do you want to understand what you are seeing?

thanks for your replay, I'm sorry for misunderstanding my first message.

let me explain, I have a project that I working on and my mission is to add some features to that program, I understand of what I see but, I'm get little confused when I enter from a one VI to another because its a large program.

so my question is how do I can read all of the program without go lost between all the VI's that I've got, because what's happens to me its, I enter to one VI until I've done to read and understand all of him I forgot where I was, or in which process I'm into in the program.

Use th VI Hierarchy View.

I will check it thank you

You can even use the hierarchy view to find the exact location of any sub vi or typdef in its callers.  Almost magical!

If you need further help in reading and understanding LabVIEW code that you have been given, we can provide a lot more specific help if you post the code.  Note that the most useful way to do this (if the Code involves a LabVIEW Project, namely a series of VIs and other LabVIEW files such as Controls/TypeDefs (.ctl) and the Project file, itself (.lvproj), compress the Folder that contains the Project and attach the resulting .zip file.  It may be that some of us won't have the version of LabVIEW you are using, but we (or you) can help in converting it to a recent "earlier version" if necessary.

I'm sorry but I cant post that code here because reasons of confidentiality of the company I work for.

But thanks all of you for your help !
