| LabVIEW Specific Apple Events VIs | Use the LabVIEW Specific Apple Events VIs to send messages that only LabVIEW applications (standard and run-time systems) recognize. Use these VIs only when communicating with LabVIEW applications. |
| Low Level Apple Events VIs | Use the Low Level Apple Events VIs to construct Apple event parameters and send the Apple event. The high-level VIs for sending Apple events are based on the AESend VI and are good examples of creating Apple events and their parameters. |
