Default values for unconnected sub-vi inputs in LabView RT

[xl600]

Given that LVRT doesn't include the front panel when running VIs, how should default values be specified for control inputs that are left unconnected?

Thanks,

You're confusing two things. The front panel defaults are still used, there's just no graphical front panel. From the perspective of passing parameters, the front panel controls act normally.

So a property node wouldn't be able to read the default but the default would still be used if the control was left unconnected?

Yes, that's right. It's a side effect of LabVIEW using front panel elements for two different purposes.

Thanks.  I'm sure that's been explained in many other places, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone state it so clearly and simply.
