A Structure is a construct that surrounds other programming elements. It divides the block diagram into a hierarchy of sub-diagrams. Some structures only contain one sub-diagram, or frame, (i.e. For Loops, While Loops, In Place Element Structures, etc.). While others contain multiple sub-diagrams, or frames, (i.e. Case Structures, Event Structures, Diagram Disable Structures, and Conditional Disable Structures).
Structures have three uses. They either:
- Control the execution between blocks of code ([Flat Sequence sturcture|Flat Sequence Structure]], Stacked Sequence Structure, In Place Element Structures, Timed Sequence)
- Allow a choice between different blocks of code to execute (Case Structures, Event Structures, Diagram Disable Structures, Conditional Disable Structures)
- Allow code to repeat execution (For Loops, While Loops, Timed Loops)

History
| Version | Change(s) |
|---|---|
|
The Type Specialization Structure was added in conjunction with the addition of Malleable VIs. |
|
The Stacked Sequence Structure is considered to be deprecated and has been removed from the Structures Palette although it is still functional to code upgraded from older versions. |
|
In Place Element Structure was added. |
|
|
Diagram Disable Structure, Conditional Disable Structure and Shared Variable were added. |
|
Flat Sequence Structure and Feedback Node were added. |
|
|
Event Structure was added. |
