Overview

This project shows how to display the front panel of a SubVI without allowing the user to edit the controls similar to a splash screen.

 

Description

Main.vi calls SubVI.vi which displays the front panel of the SubVI in an uneditable mode. This is accomplished through front panel, property node settings within the SubVI.

 

Requirements

  • LabVIEW 2013 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Run the VI.
  2. The front panel of the "SubVI.vi" will open for 5 seconds in uneditable mode.
  3. You will not able to change any of the controls, close the window, or resize the window.
  4. This front panel will then close and the "Main.vi" will display the values from the "SubVI.vi" outputs.
