Add Asynchronous Call By Reference to Call Setup Dialog

Status: New

When you right click on a Call By Reference or a subVI, there is a "Call Setup" item to specify the VI call configuration. For example, the user can specify "Load and retain on first call."

 

First, there should be a way to access this dialog from the Start Asynchronous Call node and possibly Wait On Asynchronous Call node.

 

Second, the VI Call Configuration dialog should let the user specify an asynchronous call.

Just to clarify why this would be useful: In order to use the ACBR node in LV 2011, you need to explicitly open a reference to the VI using a special flag and the strict reference of the VI. If you already know which VI you want to call, this saves you all that code, which is extremely useful if you have "fire and forget" processes.

It would be good if the VI to call and the options to use could be specified directly on the Start Asynchronous Call node without having to find the path to the VI, open a reference and set numeric options. Then the node could show the icon instead of the connector pane, and the context help could refer to the called VI.
