LabVIEW VI Scripting helps you programmatically generate, edit, and inspect LabVIEW code. It contains several new VI Server classes, properties, and methods so you can create, move, and wire objects; edit the connector pane; create new VIs on the fly; and more. Use LabVIEW VI Scripting to create tools for increasing development efficiency, enforcing coding guidelines, or helping new users.

This download includes getting started documentation and examples. The LabVIEW API Community Group features more tutorials and examples for common scripting applications such as automating common tasks, adding a Quick Drop shortcut, and integrating with the JKI Right-Click Framework.

Note: LabVIEW VI Scripting is installed by default on LabVIEW 2010 and later.

System Requirements
LabVIEW 8.6 or 2009
