Right-click a subVI icon on the block diagram and select SubVI Node Setup from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box.
This dialog box contains a subset of the items included in the VI Properties dialog box. Use this dialog box to set options for only the current instance of the subVI. Use the subVI execution items in the VI Properties dialog box to set options for every instance of the subVI.
This dialog box includes the following components:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Open front panel when loaded | Suspends a subVI when called and waits for user interaction. This option is the same as selecting Operate>>Suspend when Called. Note LabVIEW ignores this option when you use the VI Server to load the VI. Use the Front Panel:Open method to open the front panel of a VI you load using the VI Server. |
Show front panel when called | If Show front panel when called also contains a checkmark and if the subVI was previously closed, the front panel closes after the subVI runs. |
Close afterwards if originally closed | Displays the front panel when the subVI is called. |
Suspend when called | Displays the front panel when the subVI loads or when the VI that calls it loads. |
Simulation subVI execution type | (Control Design and Simulation Module) Use this section to configure the behavior of VIs on a simulation diagram.
|
Discrete timing | (Control Design and Simulation Module) Use this section to specify the timing steps of discrete VIs. The following options are available only when you select the Discrete option in the Simulation subVI execution type section.
