New page

==Polymorphic VI==
A polymorphic VI is a VI without any code but can be used to group several normal [[VI|VIs]] into one VI. A developer can choose during edit mode which VI should be executed during runtime.

==Usage==
A polymorphic VI is used to execute the same operation on different file-types or to return different file types

==Selection==
Selection of a specific VI can be done automatically based on the data-types connected to the in/output [[terminal|terminals]] of the VI.
To show the manual selector, right-click the polymorphic VI icon an a block diagram, select 'Visible Items\Polymorphic VI Selector'

==Configuration==
The configuration of a polymorphic VI is done by selecting 'Open Polymorphic VI' after a right click on the icon on a block diagram.

[[Image:Polymorphic_Options.png]]

In the configuration dialog you can edit the Polymorphic VI, add or remove VIs.
Alternatively it is possible to show the icon of the instance instead of the icon of the polymorphic VI.
It is possible to let the selection be done automatically. The selector can be shown by default.

==Configuration of an instance==
By using the 'Edit name...' buton on the configuratoin dialog the following dialog opens:

[[Image:Polymorphic_Edit_Instance.png]]

The 'Menu Name' is shown in the selector after an instance is selected.
The 'Polymorphic VI Selector Name' you can alter the menu shown by the VI selector.
Levels can be made by using a colon (:) as seperator.

==Limitations==
*All VIs of a polymorphic VI should have the same [[connector pattern]].

*Using the polymorphic VI will load all VIs into memory.
