How can we realize it? In fact, it is quiet simple. We just set the pop-up dialog box VI to be reentrant. In the dialog box VI’s menu, select File>>VI Properties. Then, [...]
How to Create a Programmatically Changed Text Label In LabVIEW

The Difference Between Chart and Graph in LabVIEW
We can use chart and graph to display our acquired data or waveforms. In general, they looks alike, but there still is difference between them which we should note in our VI programming.
The difference is:
Chart control has a data buffer which can be used to store some length of history data. Graph control [...]
How to Run a .msi file in a LabVIEW Application Installation

How to Add Version Control in LabVIEW
LabVIEW does not have built-in version control, but we can use 3rd party software to realize version control in LabVIEW.
First, use menu Tools>>Source Control>>Configure Source Control to config the 3rd party source control software to integrate into LabVIEW, as in the following picture:
