compiled VIs

[Volvo JazzHouse]

Hi,

I do not know if I am asking the right wa but I would like to make some
of my VIs only executable but I do not want people to check inside of it.

But want them use it as drag and drop VI and link the input and output
variables.

What is the keyword for this topic, I think I need to read some
documentations?

Mvh,
F

You want to either protect them with a diagram password or save them
with removed diagram. But this has all its drawbacks.
If you want to remove the diagram make sure you save that VI to another
location. To many people have lost their work by saving a diagram less
VI over their original VI. Also a VI without diagram can only run in the
same version and platform of LabVIEW as it was saved. If you have
pot
ential users with a different LabVIEW version or on a different
LabVIEW platform you will have to have those all installed and save the
VI on that version and platform for those users.
A password protected diagram gives you a relative security without above
troubles. Though if you forget the password and don't have an
unprotected backup, you have a big problem too.
