Select File»Save with Options to display this dialog box.
Use this dialog box to save an entire hierarchy of VIs for distribution. You can save an entire hierarchy selectively, without the VIs in vi.lib, and save all external subroutines the VIs in the hierarchy reference. You also can save for the previous version of LabVIEW and create password-protected VIs.
The options on the left side of the Save with Options dialog box are predefined save options. As you select options, the Selected Options section describes the behavior of the current selection.
This dialog box includes the following components:
Changed VIsSaves changes to the active VI and its subVIs.
Development DistributionSaves all VIs, objects, and external subroutines, excluding those in vi.lib, to a directory or library. Select this option to save a hierarchy of VIs for use on another LabVIEW installation that has its own vi.lib.
Application DistributionSaves all VIs, objects, and external subroutines, including the ones in vi.lib, to a single location and removes the block diagrams from all the VIs. Select this option to create libraries for use in stand-alone applications.
Custom SaveApplies the options you select in the Selected Options section of the dialog box. Select this option if none of the predefined options meet your needs.
Save for PreviousSaves the VI for use in the previous version of LabVIEW.
Note When you save a VI hierarchy that uses a LabVIEW toolkit that has provided LabVIEW with a list of version information, you can select which version of the toolkit to save your VI hierarchy for in the Toolkit Version field.
TemplateSaves the VI as a VI template with the .vit extension. When you load a template VI, LabVIEW creates a copy of it that you must save with a new name.
