====== 52 VI Scripting ======

//"LabVIEW VI Scripting helps you programmatically generate, edit, and inspect LabVIEW code. It contains several new VI Server classes, properties, and methods so you can create, move, and wire objects; edit the connector pane; create new VIs on the fly; and more. Use LabVIEW VI Scripting to create tools for increasing development efficiency, enforcing coding guidelines, or helping new users."
