Run VBAI script in LabVIEW?

[DLaBorn]

Is it possible to call a vbai script directly from LabVIEW without having to convert it into LabVIEW vi's? I couldn't find this particular question answered on the forum.

Hi DLaBorn,

You can definitely do this using the VBAI LabVIEW Interface API. The API is a set of LabVIEW VIs that allow you to run the VBAI engine, open and run inspections, and return the results into LabVIEW. To use it, you need to make sure to install LabVIEW API Support when you run the VBAI installer. 

It is pretty simple to use and there is a LabVIEW example that gets installed which you can find at C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\Vision Builder AI 2015\Examples\API Examples\LabVIEW Examples.
