Allow (Ignore) Front Panel Properties on an RT App

Status: New

An RT program can be ran either from a host PC (what I call the "interpreter mode"), or as an exe in the startup directory on the RT controller. When running from the host PC (for debugging purposes), it allows front panel "property nodes" to execute properly as you would expect. After building, and transferring to the RT app to the startup directory on the RT controller, the program errors out on the first occurance of a front panel property node. The reason is obvious; a front panel is non-existent in an RT application, hence the front panel property nodes are rejected. Of note, no errors or warnings are generated during the RT app build operation.

 

Recommend that the build application simply ignore the front panel property nodes as it ignores the front panel in general. This would allow the programmer to retain the same version of the source code for either mode of operation.

 

Thanks,

Bob

I agree.

 

In the meantime, you can use a 'Conditional Disable Structure'.
