Use the VIs and functions on the Functions palette to build block diagrams. The VIs and functions are located on subpalettes based on the types of VIs and functions.

Select View»Functions Palette or right-click the block diagram workspace to display the Functions palette.

If you right-click the block diagram workspace, the palette will be in a temporary position. Click the thumbtack in the upper left corner of the palette to pin the palette so it is no longer temporary. LabVIEW retains the Functions palette position and size so when you restart LabVIEW, the palette appears in the same position and has the same size. You can change the contents of the Functions palette.

Note By default, LabVIEW installs with an abridged palette view. You can use the Change Visible Palettes dialog box to show or hide palette categories.

Refer to VI and Function Reference for detailed documentation on the contents of the Functions palette
