In addition to the following hidden gems in LabVIEW 2020, there are several new (non-hidden) gems in Quick Drop/palettes that are generally useful for LabVIEW development. I suggest reading the LabVIEW 2020 Upgrade Notes (once they are posted) to learn more about those VIs. But for now, here are the new LabVIEW 2020 hidden gems:
- Set Icon.vi (located in vi.lib/LabVIEW Icon API/Set Text Icon)
Sets the icon of a VI to match its file name. You can optionally provide your own icon text.
- Index Array Aggregate.vim (located in vi.lib/Array)
Performs an Index Array, but allows you to wire in an array of indices to index multiple elements from the array.
- Select Aggregate.vim (located in vi.lib/Array)
Performs a Select, but allows you to wire in an array of Booleans to return an array of selections.
Note that for LabVIEW 2020, there is not a new Hidden Gems package on the Tools Network. Version 1.0.0.10 continues to be the latest version.
