Inlines the subVI into its calling VIs.
National Instruments recommends that you use the Execution:Inline SubVI method when possible to more safely inline a subVI into the block diagram of each calling VI.
Parameters
| Name | Data type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Make Space in Block Diagram |  |
Yes | Specifies whether to rearrange the block diagram of the calling VI to make space for the inlined code from the subVI. If this input is FALSE, LabVIEW places the inlined code in the exact location of the original subVI node, often overlapping the surrounding code in the calling VI. |
| Wrap in Sequence | |
Yes | Specifies whether to wrap the inlined code in a single frame of a Flat Sequence structure so that none of the inlined code can begin executing until all of the inputs to the original subVI are available. Furthermore, the Flat Sequence structure frame prevents any code downstream from the original subVI from executing until all of the inlined code finishes executing. |
| Sequence Refnum |  |
No | If Wrap in Sequence is TRUE, this output returns a reference to the Flat Sequence structure that LabVIEW created around the inlined code. |
