Compare VIs Dialog Box

Select Tools»Compare»Compare VIs from the menu on the front panel or block diagram of a VI to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to compare two VIs.

Note You can use multiple monitors to compare VIs by dragging the VIs into different monitors. LabVIEW then reuses the same monitors to perform future VI comparisons. If some of the monitors are disconnected, LabVIEW uses only one monitor.
