Viewing Source Code of a Function Panel

[linu95k]

Hi, I am fairly new to LabWindows/CVI. Can anyone help with how to the function definition/source file of a Library Function for which I can view the function panel?

Hello,

Many don't have associated source code, just compiled object or lib files. But some, such as toolbox.fp do have source code which can be found in the C:\Program Files\NI\LabWindows directories... It's just the same filename with a .c extension instead of .fp

For instruments whose source code is distributed you should be able to load the code in an editor window by operating this way:

• Load the instrument in Instrument menu
• Execute Instrument >> Edit...menu function
• Select the instrument in  the list on the left of the window
• Press Attach and edit source...

The code will be loaded into an editor window and if you run the program in debug mode you can place breakpoint into the code and run it step-by-step to understand how it work and modify/correct it.
