| An LLB is a [[LabVIEW]] container file for multiple non-LLB files, these LLB can be read by various versions of LabVIEW (backwards compatible).
| | #REDIRECT [[LLB]] |
| There are several pro's and con's on LLBs
| |
| | |
| * Pro's
| |
| ** Files inside an LLB can have non-OS allowed names, including '?'
| |
| ** Filenames can be longer than 8 characters (Windows 3.x)
| |
| ** Files are accesible like normal files on disc, the LLB filename is treated like a folder
| |
| ** Toolkits can be distributed as one file, including [[lvlib]], [[lvclass]] or [[XControl]] files
| |
| ** You can mix LabVIEW versions of files inside one LLB
| |
| | |
| * Con's
| |
| ** If a file inside an LLB gets damaged the whole LLB is unreadable
| |
| ** If you export a file with an unsupported character you have to rename and relink code
| |
| ** It is not searchable with OS indexing tools
| |
| | |
| [[NI]] recommends not to use LLB's for code development, if you want to convert an LLB to normal files the LLB browser of LabVIEW has a function to create a folder with the same name as the LLB with LLB extension with all the VIs included, this gives the possibility to use the same path-names for the files.
