A Control is an input element on the Front Panel of a VI that allows users to interact with (control) a VI at runtime. When a control is connected to a terminal, it serves as an input terminal to pass data into a VI. A control can also be changed into an indicator via the right-click menu option Change to Indicator. Controls on a front panel are always stored as part of the owning VI. Individual controls can also be stored on disk for later re-use.
Control file
