Creating a VI

Create a VI (.gvi) in which you can write a program.

1. In the Navigation pane, click New»VI.
2. Complete any of the following tasks to accomplish your programming goals:
   • On the diagram, write code that performs your desired task when the program executes.
   • On the panel, build a user interface.
   • On the icon editor, add inputs and outputs to configure the VI as a SubVI. After you save the SubVI, you can add it to the diagram of other VIs.

After you create a VI, run the VI in the development environment to execute the code. To run the VI outside the development environment, add the VI to an application and build an executable.
