How Do You Access Online Help?

Choose Help»Show Help. When you place one of the tools on a subVI
node, the Help window shows the icon for the subVI with wires attached
to each terminal. The following illustration shows an example of online
help. This is the Acknowledge Alarm VI from the Functions»Alarms &
Events
subpalette.

Simple/Complex Help View

In the Help window, you can specify whether you want to display the
simple or complex view for block diagram objects.

Note

When you open the Help window, BridgeVIEW automatically defaults to the
simple help view.

In simple help view, BridgeVIEW displays only the required and
recommended inputs for VIs and functions. In complex help view,
BridgeVIEW displays the required, recommended, and optional inputs
for VIs and functions. It also displays the full path name of a VI.
To access the simple help view, press the Simple/Complex Diagram
Help switch or choose Help»Simple Help.
