Adding VIs or Objects from the Functions or Controls Palette
After you add a VI, custom function, or custom control to the Functions or Controls palette, you can add it to a new or existing VI.
Complete the following steps to add a VI or function from the Functions palette:
Create or open a VI you want to add the VI or function to.
Navigate to the location on the Functions palette where you added the VI or function.
Click the VI or function icon and place it on the block diagram of the VI.
Complete the following steps to add a VI or control from the Controls palette:
Create or open a VI you want to add the VI or control to.
Navigate to the location on the Controls palette where you added the VI or control.
Click the VI or control icon and place it on the front panel of the VI.
Note If the VI, function, or control you add from either the Functions or Controls palette contains content on both the front panel and the block diagram, LabVIEW adds those contents to both the front panel and block diagram.
