New Class Creation Instructions

From the LabVIEW development environment, select Tools>>DataAct>>Make New dqGOOP Class... to start the wizard.  The wizard will use a file dialog to prompt for the name and location of the new class.  Browse to the desired directory and fill the class name in the File name: box.  The wizard will then perform the following steps to create the new class.

1. Create a directory with the name of the new class

2. Copy the contents of the ..\project\_dqGOOP_ClassTemplate directory to the new class directory.

3. Open every LabVIEW file in the new class directory.

4. For each file perform a "save as" and replace the prefix "dqClass" with the new class name.

5. For each file perform a "save" to link to the new files created above.

6. Delete all "dqClass" files

7. Change the first name in the enumeration in the data log refnum to the new class name ( _ObjectReference.ctl).

8. Ask to move the class probes to the ..\user.lib\probes\default directory (Select yes unless you are creating a class template)
