Note: A newer version is available for some of the Sub-VIs in this palette. Please see details in Recommended Usage for each Sub-VI in the table below. For those Invoke Node is recommended, full access to methods will be provided, while for those Property Node is recommended, full options of properties are provided.
These VIs are kept for compatibility only. You should try to stay away from using these VIs for creating new applications. The newer VIs introduced in Origin 8 are more object oriented and more efficient and much easier to use.
