The Block Diagram is the part of a VI that contains the graphical source code known as G. Front Panel controls and indicators appear on the Block Diagram as control terminals. The control terminals for the Front Panel controls are the input where the Front Panel indicators are the output. Wires connect the terminals to other Nodes and each other to flow the data between the similar to a flow chart (see Dataflow). Operational order is dictated by Dataflow. Parts that are not connected are automatically parallelized by the compiler to take advantage of parallel processing that is available in modern multi-core computers.
