Downloading Example VI's from the Web.

[crichter]

I am having difficulty downloading example VI's which contain sub-vi's. I have always been able to acquire the main VI but all sub-vi's are missing.  During the process, I get a pop-up window with "Loading ...."

"Searching ......" an ignore button, a browse button and a stop button. I have always had this problem, but my need to resolve it has finally gotten greater than my embarrassment.

Further to my post above, if I click on "browse" or just wait, another window pops up titled "look in" which defaults to where I have all other VI's stored.  I assume I should be looking for a temporary file or folder. Not sure I would know what to do if I could find it.

Be more specific.  What “example VIs” are you talking about? 

[mje]

SubVIs are separate files. If someone posts an example VI which uses SubVIs which aren't part of LabVIEW they ought to be distributing a collection of VIs instead of just one. Or instructions on where to get the other VIs.

Alternatively maybe you're dealing with an example VI that uses a toolkit you haven't installed/purchased?

Ok. I am trying to learn from https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-13297 and download the multiple data types queue variant.vi.  I am sure the up-loader posted the SubVI's. I am just at loss how to access them.

Those VIs work fine for me, and they don’t contain any references to subVIs that aren’t part of the standard LabVIEW package.  You might have a problem in your LabVIEW installation.  I would suggest you try reinstalling LabVIEW.
