Utility Library
This chapter describes the functions in the LabWindows/CVI Utility Library. The Utility
Library contains functions that do not fit into any of the other LabWindows/CVI libraries. The
Utility Library Function Panels section contains general information about the Utility Library
functions and panels. The Utility Library Function Reference section contains an alphabetical
list of function descriptions.
The Utility Library Function Panels
The Utility Library function panels are grouped in a tree structure according to the type of
operations they perform.
The Utility Library function tree is shown in Table 8-1.
The bold headings in the tree are the names of function classes. Function classes are groups of
related function panels. The headings in plain text are the names of the individual function
panels. The names of the Utility Library functions appear in bold italics beneath the
corresponding function panel names.
