Example 5 - Creating Instrument Driver Documentation

LabWindows/CVI creates two types of documentation for an instrument driver—a text .doc file and HTML files. This example shows how to generate HTML files for the instrument driver.

Creating the Instrument Driver HTML Files

Complete the following steps to create HTML files for the driver.

1. Open fl45.fp.
2. Select Options»Generate Documentation»HTML.
3. Select the programming language, C or Microsoft Visual Basic, for which you want to generate the HTML files in the HTML dialog box.
4. Click OK.
   
   A message box notifies you that the files were created successfully. LabWindows/CVI generates an overview file in the same directory as the instrument driver. The function panel HTML files are generated into a folder named InstrumentDriverFilename_files.
5. Double-click the overview file, named FL45.html, to open it. The overview file links to all of the generated files. The following figure shows a .html overview file.
