ABSTRACT:
A system and method for creating a graphical program. A function block may be displayed in a graphical program. The graphical program may include a plurality of interconnected blocks which visually indicate the functionality of the program. Additionally, the function block may be operable to perform a first function and may include one or more inputs and one or more outputs. User input specifying an attribute behavior for the function block may be received, e.g., via a menu which allows selection or definition of attribute behaviors, a graphical wizard, or another graphical program, among other methods. The attribute behavior specified for the function block may be usable to determine at attribute of at least a subset of the one or more outputs of the function block based on an attribute of at least one of the one or more inputs to the function block.
