Overview
If you have a desire to open the front panel of a VI on a second monitor and want to be able to run that VI from a different VI on your first monitor, this example is for you. For example, if you have a second monitor (wired to the same computer) in a lab or test facility where data needs to be viewed, but is not near your control station. Or if you simply want the VI to open and run exclusively on your second monitor but have control from your first monitor at your desk or test station.
Description
This example opens the front panel of a reference VI on a second monitor and sets the properties of that front panel to be maximized, no menu bars, etc. Then you are able to press a button to acquire 'data' and display it on that second monitor from the first monitor. After acquiring the data you are able to stop and close the vi running on the second monitor.
