Project Template

Standard templates

Some templates are installed with LabVIEW and addons.

Name	Description
Blank Project	Creates a blank project.
Simple State Machine	Facilitates defining the execution sequence for sections of code.
Queued Message Handler	Facilitates multiple sections of code running in parallel and sending data between them.
Actor Framework	Creates an application that consists of multiple, independent tasks that communicate with each other. This template makes extensive use of LabVIEW classes.
Finite Measurement	Acquires a finite measurement and provides options for exporting the measurement to disk. This sample project is based on the Simple State Machine template.
Continuous Measurement and Logging	Acquires measurements continuously and logs them to disk. This sample project is based on the Queued Message Handler template.
Feedback Evaporative Cooler	Implements an evaporative cooler with hot-swappable hardware, controllers, and user interface. This sample project is based on the Actor Framework template.
Instrument Driver Project	Creates an instrument driver.
Touch Panel Project	Creates an application for touch panel running Windows Embedded Standard.

Name	Description
Continuous Measurement and Logging (NI-DAQmx)	Implements a continuous data acquisition application using NI-DAQmx.
Finite Measurement (NI-DAQmx)	Implements a finite data acquisition using NI-DAQmx.
LabVIEW Real-Time Control (NI-DAQmx)	Implements deterministic, software-based control of a plant. This sample project uses NI-DAQmx.
LabVIEW Real-Time Waveform Acquisition and Logging (NI-DAQmx)	Acquires continuous waveform data and logs it to disk. This sample project uses NI-DAQmx.

Project templates are loaded from two locations.

From the LabVIEW installation folder at <labview>\ProjectTemplates
From the LabVIEW Data directory at <LabVIEW Data>\ProjectTemplates. This folder does not exist by default and must be created manually.
