Hi,
There is no built in function in CVI to lauch the Test Panels for DAQ boards or to launch the Soft Front panels for our modular instruments. However, the soft front panels and the test panles are just executables that you should be able to run from CVI. Use the LaunchExecutable function and point it to nitpan32.exe that you'll find in c:\\Windows\System32.
I'm not sure where the Soft Front panels, but I'm sure the'll be in the folder for the specific driver that you want to use.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
