Steve,
You need take a look at ../examples/viserver/dynload.llb in your
installation of LV.
This solution seems right what you need. Using dynamically
loading/unloading vi's with a help of vi-server helps reduce memory
size occupied by the application by the cost of the time/performance of
dynamically loading/unloading vi's into memory.
Hope this will help,
