how to arrange vi's

hi,
i have created driver for my monochromator.this are four vi's with one dll file.
one is to set wavelength, other to set grating,scan rate,and wavelength scan.
my question is ,can i arrange alll this vi's as one vi's.so next time i didnt have to open the vi separately to change parameter of monchromator. that means there would be only one front panel to control all the parameter like,wavelength ,grating etc. i am using labview 8 .if it is possible ,how can i do that.
thanks

Hi josan
 
I'm not sure if I correctly anderstood, but I assume that you have four different vis and each vi calls this dll to set different parameters.
 
So if you want to just open one vi - create one vi where the four vis you developed are used as subvis. This gives you the possibility to have one gui to set all parameters.
 
Hope this helps.

Hi,

A great place to start looking for information on using subVIs is the help. We have a complete indexed version online, or you can always click F1 from LabVIEW to open a local copy.

You can find information about calling subVIs here and creating subVIs here.

There's also a link from the New to LabVIEW section of the Getting Started window in LabVIEW called Getting Started with LabVIEW. Just click there for lots of good resources. Hope this helps!
