Close Reference Details

When you create a refnum to a VI, LabVIEW loads the VI into memory. The VI stays in memory until you close the refnum and until the VI meets the following conditions:

• There are no other open references to the referenced VI.
• The front panel of the VI is not open.
• The VI is not a subVI of another VI in memory.
• The VI is not a member of an open project library.
