Setting the Default Probe for a LabVIEW Class or Interface

If you move a class or interface to a new machine or reinstall LabVIEW on the current machine, the default probe users of the class or interface can use is the generic probe. However, if you create a custom member probe for a LabVIEW class or interface and set the member probe as the default probe of the class or interface, when the class or interface is distributed to a new machine users can use the custom probe you set as the default probe.

You can set a custom probe you created as the default probe for LabVIEW class or interface data types. Complete the following steps to set a custom probe as a default probe for a LabVIEW class or interface.

  1. Add the custom probe to the LabVIEW class or interface if the probe is not already a member.
  2. Right-click the LabVIEW class or interface and select Properties from the shortcut menu. The Class/Interface Properties dialog box appears.
  3. Select Probes from the Categories list.
  4. Select the name of the custom probe you created from the Default Probe pull-down menu.
  5. Click OK to close the Class/Interface Properties dialog box.
Note  The probe must be a member of the LabVIEW class or interface.
