Is enabling VI Scripting in Target properties without any functionality?

In the properties of the target "My Computer" (in a LabVIEW Project), I can enable and disable VI Scripting. But I do not see any effect of this setting. Only the global settings (Options) do have an effect. Can anybody confirm this?

 

Some Details:

I'm using LabVIEW 2013.

I tried with Scripting enabled in the global options and disabled in the project properties and the other way around. I opened and closed the projects and restarted LabVIEW.

A description of the effect of this setting is in the LabVIEW help.

The property of the target is in the category "VI Server", the box "Show VI Scripting functions, properties and methods" (see image below).

Hi,

 

the global settings enable VI Scripting for your entire project. After that, you enable VI Scripting for your desired target systems, which is "My Computer" in your case.

 

But you're right - I tried it and the settings in the "My Computer" properties had no effect, only the global settings. I will try to get further information on this behaviour, maybe there's something we missed or it's a bug...

 

 

Regards,

  Michael

I'd say that this is "not by design". It seems to me that the dialog is the same as in the (global) LabVIEW options dialog.

So i assume that simply the same subvi is used in a subpanel for both option dialogs, but not every setting available there is "honored" by the targets individually....
