Select File»Create Project to display the Create Project dialog box, which contains the following customizable templates and sample projects:
Simple State Machine—A template that defines sections of code and the order in which they execute.
Finite Measurement—A sample project that uses the Simple State Machine template to acquire a single measurement.
Queued Message Handler—A template that monitors a user interface while allowing you to perform other tasks, such as data acquisition or logging.
Continuous Measurement and Logging—A sample project that uses the Queued Message Handler template to acquire measurements continuously and log them to disk.
Actor Framework—A template for an application that consists of multiple independent tasks that communicate with one another.
Feedback Evaporative Cooler—A sample project that uses the Actor Framework template to cool a water tank, where the cooler is represented by either simulated or real hardware, controlled either manually or automatically, and viewed with one of two user interfaces.
Touch Panel Project—A template that defines an application for a touch panel target running the Windows Embedded Standard operating system. This template includes a touch panel VI that runs on a touch panel target and a VI that runs on the host computer. The VI running on the host computer uses the Queued Message Handler template.
Note LabVIEW add-ons may install additional templates and sample projects.
Templates show how to implement commonly-used design patterns in LabVIEW code, whereas sample projects show how to use a template for a specific application. Each template and sample project contains the project libraries, functions, structures, and user interfaces necessary to get started developing a scalable, robust application.
Refer to ni.com for more information about application design patterns.
