There are multiple ways to save an individual VI. You can save a VI interactively or programmatically.

  • Select File » Save to save changes to an existing VI in its current disk location or to save a new VI.
    If the VI is new, specify the name of the VI and its location in the file dialog box.
  • To save a VI programmatically, use the Save:Instrument method.
    This method is similar to the Save item on the File menu.
  • Select File » Save As on a previously saved VI to display the Save As dialog box.
    You can save a copy of the VI in memory to disk with a new name you choose, rename the VI, or copy the VI hierarchy to a new location.
  • Select File » Save for Previous Version to display the Save for Previous Version dialog box.
