Dynamic vs Static Calling in LabVIEW

In LabVIEW, dynamic calling and static calling are two different methods used to call subVIs or functions.

1. Dynamic invocation: Dynamic invocation allows for selecting which sub-VI or function to call at runtime based on different conditions or parameters. By using a dynamic invocation node, different VIs or functions can be chosen to be called at runtime according to the program’s requirements. This approach provides flexibility to select different sub-VIs or functions in different scenarios as needed, and allows for dynamically changing the called VI or function.
2. Static call: Static call refers to determining the sub-VI or function to be called during program design. In the process of program design, the sub-VI or function is placed directly in the main VI or called using a function node. This method does not allow for dynamically changing the called VI or function during program execution, the called VI or function is fixed.

In summary, dynamic calling allows for the selection of VIs or functions during runtime based on need, providing greater flexibility and scalability; while static calling determines the VI or function to be called during program design, suitable for calling fixed VIs or functions.
