A subroutine is subprogram in a computer, often called up to execute by a higher level program. It consists of instructions that perform a specific set of tasks for a main routine. Subroutines often account for the sentient qualities of AI.

In late 2375, Noah Lessing of the USS Equinox designed a subroutine to mask the internal sensors of the USS Voyager, allowing the Equinox crew to steal a modified field generator that provided protection against nucleogenic lifeforms. (VOY: "Equinox")
