Palette

Palettes provide the fundamental building blocks (code elements) for VIs in LabVIEW.

LabVIEW has two types of palettes:

• The Controls Palette provides controls and indicators for the Front Panel.
• The Functions Palette provides VIs, functions and constants for the Block Diagram.

Palettes can be accessed in two ways:

• By right-clicking on the Block Diagram or Front Panel.
• By selecting View >> Controls Palette on the Front Panel or View >> Functions Palette on the Block Diagram.

Elements from the Palettes can be dropped anywhere on the Front Panel or Block Diagram.
