Config File Editor

Worker User Library

The Worker User Library Config File Editor allows you to add your own functional Workers, Worker base classes, or Worker libraries to the Worker User Library. Every item in the Worker User Library requires a config file containing required information about the item. This information can be created and edited through use of this tool.

Class or Library Name (library display name) *

Required Field

The name that will be displayed in the Library Name field and Items in User Library tree list of the Worker User Library window.

Class or Library Path (source name) *

Required Field (must be *.lvclass or *.lvlib)

This is the path of the source file (class or library) that the tool will copy into a project. The source file item name cannot be the same as the name of the item that will be copied into a project.

It is recommended that you simply change the filename of the source class or library by adding an underscore (_) to the front of it, before adding the item to the Worker User Library, as in the example image above. This way the item can be copied into a project with its correct name.

Class or Library File Name (copy name) *

Required Field (must be *.lvclass or *.lvlib)

This is the name of the Worker or library that will be added to your project. This name cannot be the same as the source filename of the Worker or library.

This is also the name that will be displayed in the Library File Name field of the Worker User Library window.

Version

The version of the Worker or library. This field is optional.

Example Project Path

Tree Indent Level

The level of the Class or library Name to be displayed in the Items in User Library tree list. An empty value will put the item under the 'Default' category. However you can add your class or library to your own category in the tree. The separator for levels is (;). For example, if you have a Worker designed to run on a cRIO, you could write for this field: Company Name;cRIO

This field is optional.

Company Name

The name that will be displayed in the Company field of the Worker User Library window. This field is optional.
