subVI terminals order in the connector pane

[Peter Parker]

Hello,

Does anybody know how LabVIEW determines the order in which the terminals list comes out in the block diagram when a subVI is not viewed as icon?

I like to have my terminals to be in a certain order and I know I can change the order of the terminal by left-click the terminal and choose the desired order when I use the subVI.  But how can I make the change permanent (change the "master" copy?)  Thanks.

Hi,

Two things determine the order in which the terminals list is shown.

1. On a VI, when you click on icon and choose show connector panel option, you can add terminals (controls and indicators) in the order you desire.
2. I f you build that sub VI from a block diagram (directly by selectiong a portion of block diagram and using "create sub vi" option in menu),  labview decides the order of connection of inputs and outputs to that sub vi.

To change this order of terminals in this sub vi, you have to go that sub VI and disconnect and reconnect the terminals in the order you want it to be displayed when you use this sub VI.
