A Few Tips on VI Design in LabVIEW

LabVIEW VIs are very similar to functions or subroutines in C programming language. It can be called inside of other VIs, once it was created. Here are a few tips on the design of VIs:
1. You should assign the inputs on the left terminals of the connector and the outputs to the right side, because all LabVIEW built-in functions follow this convention. And this aids the readability of the code.
2. It’s a good idea to have a few extra connectors in VI in case additional inputs and outputs are needed in the future.
3. About the icons of VIs. Try to create icons that are descriptive so that someone looking at the code for the first time can determine its function easily. Using text in the icons often helps.
