Follow Reference in vi

[SayMaster]

Hi there,

I am wondering if there is a way to "follow" Wires/References through a project?

 

In the last months I got a few requests to kinda refactor old code, for that I would like to get a list of all VIs which are connected on a specific wire.

 

For example to get all commands which are sent to a device.

 

Bonus: this function can handle following the same reference even if the reference is shared over the whole project via locals...

 

 

thanks in advance

Welcome in LabVIEW scripting. I'm pretty sure it is doable, and I'm even more sure that it is a lot of work to do right. But the tools are there for you to do it. 😀
