Default Probes: labview\vi.lib\_probes

LabVIEW stores custom probes in the Probes subdirectory of the default data directory.

If you want a custom probe to be the default probe for a particular data type, save the probe in the labview\user.lib\_probes\default directory.

Do not save probes as existing files in the labview\vi.lib\_probes directory because LabVIEW overwrites the existing files when you uninstall or reinstall.

Save probes in the labview\user.lib\_probes\default or the Default Data\Probes directories. Probes saved in the labview\user.lib\_probes\default directory are available to anyone running LabVIEW on the computer remotely. This directory is useful for public probes. Because the Default Data directory changes based on which user is logged in to the computer, National Instruments recommends you save non-public probes in this directory.
