Use this page of the Prepare Example VIs for NI Example Finder dialog box to build the data (.bin3) file that stores the task-based browse paths, keywords, and other information about the example VIs you document. LabVIEW uses the .bin3 file to display example VIs in the NI Example Finder.
Note The .bin3 file must reside in a directory within the labview\examples\exbins, labview\instr.lib, or labview\user.lib directory.
This page includes the following components:
