If you have ever used template documents in Word or Excel, it is the same. A vit, VI template, is a starting document partially completed, that makes it easier to finish a VI. A VI is what LV actually loads, edits, and executes. The primary differences are when opening a VI, LV keeps the name of the file you opened. When opening a template, it is forced to be renamed so that the user makes their own VI and doesn't easily overwrite the template. An example template is for a dialog, it will already have the OK and Cancel buttons and the panel color and dialog-modal window style. You open it and some of the work is already done for you.
