Tidying up LLB

[Philip Frampton]

Evening all,

I have a large LLB (>100 VIs, CTL, etc). There are many 20-30 VIs which are redundant
(they were instruments I don't have). I've removed them form the instrument CTL and
removed the cases from the instrument talk VI.

What I want to do it repackage the VIs that are needed (most in the LLB and some outside)
as a new LLB without all the wastage.

Is there a way of getting a list of the VI filenames of dependencies, or a way of auto-
generating an LLB containing only the called VIs?

There are a couple ways of handling this situation. First, to isolate only the VIs you are using, do "Save with Options..." and select Development Distribution (if you want diagrams included) or Application Distribution (if you don't). Use the pop-up menu to tell LV to save all the VIs to a single location. The second way is to write a short utility that recursively creates a list of all the subVIs used in an application. There are several around that people have already written, or you can write one yourself (it's a good learning project). I could also send you one if you like. Mike...

Thanks Mike, I'll probably go for the Save With... option. At the moment
I'm learning LabView on a need-to-do basis as I want to get the set-u
p
working as soon as possible.
