Actor:Launch Root Actor VI

Owning Palette: Actor Framework VIs

Requires: Base Development System

(Filename: Actor Framework.lvlib:Actor.lvclass:Launch Root Actor.vi)

Launches an asynchronously running VI that performs tasks and handles messages for the Actor. This VI returns a reference to an enqueuer that you can use to send messages to the newly launched actor.

The Launch Root Actor VI launches the Actor without a caller. Use this VI to launch the root actor of the actor tree. Use the Launch Nested Actor VI to launch all other actors.

Details  

	Actor specifies the initial state of the actor.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	Open Actor Core front panel? specifies whether, on launching the actor, the front panel of the Actor Core method opens. The default is FALSE. The TRUE setting causes this VI to return an error in the run-time engine. Set Open Actor Core front panel? to TRUE during code development so you can access the Abort button for the VI, which helps if you forget to stop an actor. To open the Actor Core front panel of an actor for purposes other than debugging, use the Front Panel:Open method. You can also enable Show front panel when called on the Customize Window Appearance dialog box to configure this VI to open the Actor Core front panel when you call the actor.
	Actor's Enqueuer returns a reference to an enqueuer. Use this reference to send messages to the newly launched actor.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
