Activity 15-1. Use the VI Server
Your objective is to build a top-level VI that uses the VI Server to open,
run, display, and close two other VIs. The top-level VI will load both
subVIs dynamically. Then, the top-level VI will open and run the subVI
chosen by the user.
Front Panel
1. Open a new front panel. Place a waveform chart and label it
Trend #1. Place a rectangular stop button and label it Close. Save
the VI as HMI#1.vi in the BridgeVIEW\Activity directory.
2. Open a new front panel. Place a cluster with two rectangular buttons
labeled HMI#1 and HMI#2. Create a button and label it Shutdown. At
the end of this exercise, you will have three front panels, which will
appear as shown below.
