VI metrics: number of diagrams

[pablopaolus]

Hello everybody,

Does anyone know what "number of diagram" refers to in the context of the VI Metrics tool? 

Thank you.

BR,

If I had to guess I would say it is talking about things that are found under the Structures Palette.  Things like Disable Diagram Structures, For Loops, While Loops, Case Structure, Event Structures etc.

Hoovahh is correct. Any white space within a structure is also called "subdiagram".

This is significant when it comes to "nesting" of diagrams. It is recommended to have a maximum nesting depth of diagrams of about 5 per VI.

If your algorithm requires a deeper nesting level, use subVIs to abstract nesting.
