what are normal values for "number of nodes" in determinjng system complexity

[developer001]

I have developed a program , and using the vi.metric tools the total number of nodes in my program is a certain number.<br>How does this compare to other programs? I know all programs are custom and cannot be compared, but i need a rough idea....is 4000 nodes too much? Is 1000 nodes better?<br>Its a program that receives data from a hardware module, does some processing and displays it on a very clear user interface.<br>If you could give examples of your programs that would be great.<br>Thanks

What tool are you using to measure code complexity?

I've found this tool in the past works nicely for 2012 and newer.  It rates VIs out of 10 which is nice to normalize the complexity of a project so VIs that are overly complicated can be simplified.

EDIT:  Oh and the VI Analyzer works well if you have that.

I am using the VI metrics tool(under profile) and looking at the total number of nodes column (total).

The one you mention is different I believe.
