There are times in a LabVIEW program that where you need to reinitialise all the front panel indicators and controls to their respective default values. I like to do this as the first step before the VI is run so that I know that everything is in a default state.
This can be done by using a property node for each indicator or control. With large programs this can become very tedious and add a significant amount of unwanted clutter.
There is another, easy way to accomplish this and that is to use a reference to the current vi and an invoke node.
By adding this VI at the start of your program, all the indicators and controls are initialised to their default values.
To download the example VI, use this link.
