run Library's top level vi

[richjoh]

Is there a way to run (using a shortcut) a Labview Library Top Level VI?  If so what would be an example of the syntax for the shortcut?

Let me add, I want to keep the Library intact and not break it into individual files.

It should work if you make it a shortcut pointing to LabVIEW that then calls the file location inside the LLB as an argument.  So the shortcut would point to something like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2018\LabVIEW.exe" "C:\SomeDirectory\Somelibrary.LLB\YourMainVI.vi"

Adjust for your LabVIEW version and bitness, i.e. where-ever your LabVIEW EXE is located.

All of that would need to to be on one line as the "Target" of the shortcut.  There's a limit to how long a "target" can be (255 characters I think?) but as long as you can make it fit, it should work.
