I have a function written in LabVIEW that requires code that only runs in the development environment (no RTE). (Labview 2010)
The function will be called via system command from another program, and arguments will be passed on the command line. Simultaneous calls may be made, so I cannot count on launching the Dev environment and inspecting the command line. There is no GUI for the code.
I have devised a plan to create a LV EXE that will be called by the third party app via a command line with arguments. The EXE will then call the Dev environment via VI server (I still need to figure out if it will be done with re-entrant calls or a queue, but that's not my big worry).
So the Dev environment has to be up and running to wait for "requests". I would like for it not to be in the foreground, as this machine is used for other purposes.
Can the Dev environment run "hidden" or as a service with no GUI? Could it be run under another account, in a virtual shell?
