Hierarchy Window

Select Browse»Show VI Hierarchy to display this window.

Use this window to view the subVIs that make up the VIs in memory and search in the VI hierarchy. This window displays the calling hierarchy for all VIs in memory, including type definitions and global variables.

The Hierarchy Window toolbar includes the following buttons:

Redo Layout—Rearranges nodes after you expand, collapse, or move hierarchy nodes. Use this option to clean up the Hierarchy Window and reposition the nodes in the window.
Vertical Layout—Arranges the nodes from top to bottom, placing roots at the top of the layout.
Horizontal Layout—Arranges the nodes from left to right, placing roots on the left side of the layout.
Include VI Lib—Toggles the hierarchy layout to include or exclude VIs in the vi.lib folder or its subfolders.
Include Globals—Toggles the hierarchy layout to include or exclude global variables. Global variables store data several VIs use.
Include Type Definitions—Toggles the hierarchy layout to include or exclude type definitions. A type definition is a master copy of a custom object that several VIs can use.
