Wouter Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 First question, Is OpenG not available for LabVIEW NXG 5.0? When I try to install it via the NI Package Manager I see version 3. Then when I want to install it, I see that the NI Package Manager wants to install LabVIEW NXG 3.0... so I understand that OpenG is only available for LabVIEW NXG 5.0? Second question, (cross post from https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/LabVIEW-NXG-Polymorphic-amp-Malleable-VI-s/m-p/4047507#M1160978) How can I create a polymorphic or malleable .giv in LabVIEW NXG? In NXG they are called "overloads" The only information I can find is: https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-Blog/Designing-LabVIEW-NXG-Configurable-Functions/ba-p/3855200?profile.l... But it does not tell or share how to do this in LabVIEW NXG? Where can I find this information? Or am I just missing something? Images (w.r.t. first question) Quote Link to comment

In the article it says: "The ability to create modes and overloads isn’t publicly available in the newest version of LabVIEW NXG; however, we’re looking to extend these features to our user base soon." 1 Quote Link to comment
hooovahh Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Currently NI's package manager is less suited to distributing LabVIEW reuse in NXG, when compared to VIPM in LabVIEW 20xx. This is partially because in NIPM the package must be built for a specific version of NXG. So a package made for version 3.0 can't be installed in version 5.0, until the creator of the package updates it and rebuilds it for version 5.0. For reuse to be more adopted in NXG, this limitation needs to be removed. Quote Link to comment

There's an Idea Exchange entry about this for LabVIEW CG, but it really should extend to NXG too: https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-Package-Management-Idea/Install-the-same-package-to-multiple-versions-of-LabVIEW/idi-p/3965419 1 Quote Link to comment

I've heard through a reliable source that NI is seriously intent in solving this problem in NIPM for both CG and NXG. Quote Link to comment

Thanks! Totally missed that. 19 hours ago, hooovahh said: Currently NI's package manager is less suited to distributing LabVIEW reuse in NXG, when compared to VIPM in LabVIEW 20xx.
