This package contains a bunch of helpful VIs that are useful in almost all applications we develop at MGI.
VI List
Application
| VI |
Description |
| Center Controls in Pane |
Moves the origin of the panel to center all visible items in the specified pane. |
| Enabled If |
A helpful way to determine the enabled state of a control based on the value of variety of data types. |
| Get Executable Version |
Returns a string with the current executable's version. |
| Gray If |
A helpful way to determine the disabled state of a control based on the value of variety of data types. |
| GUIDv4 |
Generates a UUIDv4 GUID. This GUID complies with RFC4122 and provides a random number based GUID with 122 bits of entropy. |
| Origin at Top Left |
Places the referenced VI's front panel's origin at the top left of the pane. |
| Show Scrollbars if Needed |
Shows the panel's scrollbars if needed. |
| VI Reference |
Opens a reference to the Caller, Current, Top Level, or specified Level VI. |
Array
| VI |
Description |
| Average |
This VI computes and returns the average value of the given array of numbers. |
| Delete Elements |
Deletes several items from an array. |
| Enumerate Enum |
Given an enum value this VI will return an array containing one element with each enum value. |
| Filter 1D Array |
Removes several items from an array. |
| Index Elements |
Selects multiple items from an array. |
| Natural Sort |
Sorts the string array by natural order. This means that something like "T2" will come before "T10". |
| Remove Duplicates |
Removes duplicate items from an array. |
| Search Array |
Finds all indices of the element |
| Sort 1D Array |
Sorts a 1D array and keeps track of the pointers. |
| Topological Sort |
Topologically Sorts a Directed Graph. Only graphs with no circular dependancies can be sorted. |
Error
| VI |
Description |
| Clear Error |
A smaller version of the NI supplied clear error. Also adds the ability to clear a range of errors. |
File
| VI |
Description |
| Append Text to File |

| Create Directory Chain |
This VI creates any non-existant folders in "Path". |
| Make String Filesafe |
Remove characters that are not allowed in File or Folder names. |
| Non Repeating Plot Color |
Generate colors that are good for a white background and distinguishable from each other. |
| Replace File Extension |
This VI creates replaces the file extension on "Path In" with "New Extension." |
Timing
| VI |
Description |
| Milliseconds Since Last Call |
This VI stores the tick count on a shift register and provides as an output the number of milliseconds since the last time this VI was called. |
| Milliseconds Since Last Reset |
Returns the amount of time in milliseconds since the last time the VI was reset. |
| Wait |
Waits the specified number of milliseconds. If an error is wired in the no wait is performed. |
