Common Patterns

The previous chapters introduced the fundamentals of LabVIEW, which are sufficient for writing simple programs. Starting with this chapter, we will discuss how to build larger applications. Although large-scale LabVIEW applications vary widely in purpose and complexity, they often share common structural patterns—strategic combinations of functions, structures, and subVIs. Mastering these common design patterns is essential for writing and analyzing complex LabVIEW code.
