Will I lose points on the CLD Exam if I use a Launcher vi in addition to the provided Front Panel?

Hi!

In this thread: https://decibel.ni.com/content/message/50512#50512, MattP directed me to this Certification Board.

If I use the Actor Framework in a CLD exam, will I lose points for launching the Front Panel? For two specific examples of what I mean, please refer to the solutions submitted here:

My understanding is that automated tools are used for some of the grading. If I use the NI-provided Actor Framework Message Maker, and I don't add custom comments to every msg .lvclass and Do.vi, will I lose points there, too?

Oh, I can just keep the provided front panel, create the refs and user events there, place a while-loop with event structure, and launch an actor for the business-logic. Now to figure out if I can keep the folder structure how I like it (and how the Message Maker creates it) as opposed to forcing all VIs into the SubVIs folder, and all ctl and lvclass files into the Controls folder.

Hi,

You will not loose points for using the launcher, and not documenting the message classes.  The folder structure is also fine.

Do document the other VI's, actors,and SubVI's.   Remember be brief with documentation.
