Converting LabVIEW SignalExpress Projects to LabVIEW Block Diagrams
LabVIEW SignalExpress can convert LabVIEW SignalExpress projects
into LabVIEW block diagrams.
Note To convert an LabVIEW SignalExpress project to a LabVIEW VI, you must have
the LabVIEW 7.1 Full Development System or greater installed.
Complete the following steps to convert a LabVIEW SignalExpress project
to a LabVIEW block diagram.
1. Select File»Open Project, navigate to the SignalExpress\
Examples\Tutorial\Solutions and double-click My First
Project.seproj.
2. Select Tools»Generate Code»LabVIEW Di agram.
3. Specify a filename and location for the new LabVIEW VI and click the
OK button.
The resulting LabVIEW block diagram reflects the execution of the
project in LabVIEW SignalExpress. The LabVIEW block diagram
consists of LabVIEW Express VIs wired together. Each Express VI
correlates to a step in the LabVIEW SignalExpress project. You can
double-click an Express VI to display the same Step Setup dialog box
as in LabVIEW SignalExpress. You also can right-click an Express VI
and select Open Front Panel from the shortcut menu to convert the
Express VI into a LabVIEW subVI. You can view the block diagram
to see how the LabVIEW block diagram executes and modify the
functionality of the VI. When you convert an Express VI into a subVI,
you cannot convert the subVI back into an Express VI.
Note When you convert a LabVIEW SignalExpress project with logging, LabVIEW
SignalExpress generates a LabVIEW block diagram with one Express VI. You cannot
convert the generated Express VI into a subVI.
