From Friday, April 19th (11:00 PM CDT) through Saturday, April 20th (2:00 PM CDT), 2024, ni.com will undergo system upgrades that may result in temporary service interruption.
We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
In the VI Properties of the VI Server (right-click on the Icon>>VI Properties) go to the 'Window Appearance' category. Here, select 'Custom,' then go into 'Customize.' Check the following options as needed:
Show Front Panel When Called Show Front Panel When Loaded
This will open up the FrontPanel.. the downside is that the FrontPanel will be opened everytime the VI is called/loaded.. you won't have control over it and you have to go to VI Properties everytime to change this behavior.
