Import .m Files to LabVIEW With the MathScript Node

Updated Sep 5, 2023

Environment

Software

  • LabVIEW
  • LabVIEW 2017 MathScript Module

How can I use my .m scripts that I have written previously in LabVIEW MathScript Node?

Note: NI does not recommend LabVIEW MathScript Module functions for new designs. Refer to www.ni.com/migratemathscript for information and recommended alternatives.

The Mathscript Node reads the .m files from a configured search path. This can be found using the following method:
  1.  Open LabVIEW MathScript Window:
  • Navigate to Tools>> Mathscript Window
  1. ​Open LabVIEW MathScript Properties from LabVIEW MathScript Window:
  • File >> LabVIEW MathScript Properties
​
  1. ​ Select MathScript: Search Paths
  • ​​​​This will be found the left Category Pane 
  • Once selected the right pane will show you the search path(s) that LabVIEW looks for .m files. 
​
​In order to use your mathscript .m files in the MathScript Node you can simply add your .m files to the file location specified by the Search Path.
