Problem:
How do I find coercion dots within large LabVIEW applications?


Solution:
Use the NI LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit to find the locations of coercion dots within VIs, LLBs, and directories.To use NI LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit to locate coercion dots, follow these steps:
  1. Open a blank VI, select Tools » VI Analyzer » Analyze VIs
  2. In the VI Analyzer – Select Task window, select Start a new VI Analyzer task and click the Next button.
  3. In the VI Analyzer – Select VIs window, add the VIs, LLBs, or directories you want to analyze with the Add Top-level Item button and click the Next button.
  4. In the VI Analyzer –Select Tests window, select Block Diagram » Performance » Coercion Dots
  5. Configure the Coercion Dots test. Set the Maximum Number of coercion dots on Block Diagram to 0, set the Maximum Number of coercion dots on Single Wire to 0, set the Maximum Reported Failures to 1.
  6. Click the Analyze button.

The VI Analyzer Results window contains a Results List of all the added VIs that contain coercion dots. In the Results list, double-click on a specific VI » Coercion Dots » Occurrence to get the number of coercion dots in that specific VI and to highlight the coercion dots in that specific VI.

The NI LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit is included with LabVIEW Developer Suite, otherwise NI LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit can be purchased as a LabVIEW add-on. More information on NI LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit can be found on the following National Instruments webpage.
