Optional Channel Wire Control on the Connector Pane

Status: New

I like channel wires for obvious reasons. I like to have modules, which work on their own, coming with their own GUI. This is convenient for developing my modules and testing them. Afterwards I want to be free to insert this module into a bigger project, which takes control of my module.

The channel wire controls on the connector pane can be set optional, but LabVIEW throws an error, when executing a VI with not connected channel wire control. (All branches of a channel wire must be connected to a channel endpoint...)
Please make VIs working with not connected, optional channel wire controls on the connector pane. That way, we can have channel wire based modules, which can run on their own, as a single VI, or can be controlled remotely without any change.

I never said it would make it optional. It allows you to effectively "ignore" the terminal by not actually doing anything to the channel with it. Which is the best you'll get with channel wires if you intend a connection to be "optional".
