LabVIEW VI Scripting helps you programmatically generate, edit, and inspect LabVIEW code. It contains several new VI Server classes, properties, and methods so you can create, move, and wire objects; edit the connector pane; create new VIs on the fly; and more. Use LabVIEW VI Scripting to create tools for increasing development efficiency, enforcing coding guidelines, or helping new users.

This package is needed for only LabVIEW 8.6 and LabVIEW 2009. For LabVIEW 2010 and later, you can enable VI Scripting by selecting the option in Tools>>Options>>VI Server>>VI Scripting.

Scripting is a free add-on, but you must activate it after installation. The serial number is L12S86758.
