	'''VI Scripting''', also known as Scripting, deals with the ability of LabVIEW to use G to write G. VI Scripting contains several new [[VI Server]] classes, properties, methods, and events so you can create, move, and wire objects; edit the connector pane; create new VIs; and more. Scripting is useful for generating or editing VIs automatically based on simpler configurations. Examples of scripting include the code generated by Express VIs, the code generated for LVOOP Accessor VIs and the code generated by the NI Vision Builder. Because scripting requires recompiling the VI and may break it, you can not run scripting code on a VI which is reserved for running.

	VI Scripting code can get large and complex very quickly. A guideline to VI Scripting is to start with a template, make a copy, and then edit the copy.

	Another common use case of VI Scripting is to automate repetitive tasks. For example, if the code required the generation of many similar VIs. It might be more efficient to create a template and then write the scripting code to copy, modify, and save the VI.		Another common use case of VI Scripting is to automate repetitive tasks.
