LabVIEW SubVIs

SubVIs in LabVIEW allow users to reuse code by creating custom functions (SubVIs) that can be called from the block diagram like built-in VIs. SubVIs hide complicated code, making programs easier to maintain and bugs easier to find and fix. Users select inputs and outputs for the SubVI, and can create an icon using the Icon Editor to help understand what the SubVI does at a glance. Once created, SubVIs can be dragged onto the block diagram like pre-made VIs and provide advantages like code reuse and simplified maintenance.

used in other languages
• Hundreds or thousands of SubVIs are included
with LabVIEW
• But even be?er: You can create and use your

Why create and use SubVIs?
• You need to use the same operation many
times in your code
• Reuse your code
• Hide complicated code
• Easier to maintain your code
• Easier to find bugs and repair them
• ...
