Using LVC_Action:  Options

 

LVC_Action can be configured to automatically launch files in the version of LabVIEW that they are compiled for (or the next lowest version of LabVIEW available).  To enable this behavior add Auto=True to the [LVC_Action] section of the LVC_Action.ini file.  The LVC_Action.exe window will still open*, but the default values are automatically selected and the VI continues.

 

If the Auto key is set to True as stated above, then a delay can be set which will allow the automatic launching to be stopped.  To enable this option, add AutoDelay=NN (where NN is the delay in milliseconds) to the [LVC_Action] section of the LVC_Action.ini file.  Now when the LVC_Action.exe window opens there will be an additional button that will stop the automatic behavior.  Either press <F5> or move the mouse over the LVC_Action window before the NN delay expires.

In the example below, Automatic launching is enabled and the window will pause for 5 seconds

[LVC_Action]
HideRootWindow=True
Auto=True
AutoDelay=5000

*The window has to be open in order for the exe to complete
