Static binding of nodes to virtual instruments in a graphical program

摘要

A system and method for creating a graphical program utilizing one or more nodes which are statically bound to one or more virtual instruments (VIs). The system and method for static binding provides a way to interact individually with controls and indicators of a VI running asynchronously, wherein the values read and written are strictly typed to the data type of the control. The overhead of dynamic invocation may be substantially eliminated to allow for greater efficiency.
