Operate Menu

The Operate menu contains the following items that you can use to configure the execution of a project:

• Run runs the project using the current run mode configuration.
• Stop stops the project when the current iteration completes.
• Configure Run displays the Configure Run dialog box.
• Reset All stops and restarts the project and resets all steps in the project to their initial states.
• Run Continuously runs the project continuously.
• Run Once runs the project for one iteration.
• Abort stops the project immediately, without waiting for the current iteration to complete.

Note  Because aborting a project does not wait for the final iteration of the project to complete, selecting the Abort option might cause LabVIEW SignalExpress to display incomplete data.

• Update Signals While Running contains the following options:
  • Update All Views updates all signal views, including the Data View and previews on the Step Setup tab, when you run the project.
  • Update None updates none of the signal views when you run the project.
  • Do Not Update Step Setup Tabs updates the Data View but not the preview that appears on the Step Setup tab when you run the project.
  • Set Display Update Rate displays a dialog box you can use to specify the rate in milliseconds at which views of a signal update when you run a project.
• Create Snapshot displays the Create Snapshot dialog box.
• Repeat Last Snapshot takes a snapshot using the configuration of the last snapshot you took. This option creates a new snapshot and does not overwrite an existing snapshot.
• Operator Mode contains the following options:
  • Operator Mode Enabled enables or disables operator mode.
  • Set Operator Mode Password displays the Set Operator Password dialog box, which you can use to set a password that a user must enter to disable operator mode.
