Hi all I need to upgrade myself. Using LabVIEW 10, I noticed that a local array can retain his content, among consequent calls. I remember, programming with older LabVIEW 7.1, that the main difference between running a VI using "Run VI" method and using a dynamic subVI Call was that any subVI Call, at start, as the 1st thing to do, it executes a "reinitialize all to default", then it overwrites input parameter passed to the function and, at last, it runs the VI. I remeber to have found in the past an explaination like this, searching LabVIEW Help, but now I haven't found anything about it. Another basic concept was that to statically retain data in a VI, a Shift Register is needed. I thought that FG was founded on this concept Please someone tell me how it works. Thx in advance for the answers.

hi 1st of all, thx for the precious support I think that building your own ".bld" file, is very useful, because "application builder" lacks for many aspects.For example, in the "Source Tab" you can "Add Support File..."--> "Add Directory Contents..." but this not include subdirs....etc. I am using a PXI MXI3 with lots of NIcards My main 'always growing' application is a test manager that call the appropriate test using a "call by reference node". The Vi name & the proper subPaths loaded from a configuration file .ini. Don't tell me to use TestStand Thanks again for the help bye

hi i would like to create programmatically a .< .bld > file in order to build my application installer. Can someone give me any info about the format of this type of file or, as an alternative, give me any link about free 'installation packagers'. My target is a installer that install a 'main program' and prompt user to select from a checklist, a series of sub-application SWs. These application are groups of VI saved without diagram called dynamically from 'main program'. Hope to be understood. Bye
