Template:LabVIEW configuration back This is a list of Miscellaneous LabVIEW ini File settings.
BldApp.RemovePolyVIsandTypedefs
Example: BldApp.RemovePolyVIsandTypedefs=FALSE
Description: Setting this to TRUE stops the LabVIEW Application Builder from agressively removing polymorphic VIs and typedefs that it thinks are not required
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: TRUE
LabVIEW Versions: 7.x
OS's Supported: 
Notes: By default, the LabVIEW 7.x Application Builder does not include type definitions and unused instances of polymorphic VIs into executable in order to decrease size of application. If a VI in your build calls an external VI that uses a type definition in order to pass parameters, and the AppBuilder is unaware of this external VI, it will end in tears
cleanupVisa
Example: coerceFromVariant=TRUE
Description: Force variants to automatically coerce to any data type that they are connected to
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE
LabVIEW Versions: 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: Tread carefully, as using this function removes coercion notifivation, and does not useerror handling
cleanupVisa
Example: cleanupVisa=TRUE
Description: Automatically close VISA sessions - do not require the use of the VISA Close VI
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE

Default Value: 6.x?, 7.x: TRUE 8.x: FALSE?
LabVIEW Versions: 6.x?, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: None
ExternalNodeDebugging
Example: ExternalNodeDebugging=FALSE
Description: Shows External Nodes for what they are: sequence diagrams

OS's Supported:
Notes: None
readOnlyLock
Example: readOnlyLock=TRUE
Description: Treat read-only VIs as locked
Datatype: Boolean
Permitted Values: TRUE or FALSE
Default Value: FALSE
LabVIEW Versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
OS's Supported:
Notes: It is important to set this to TRUE when using source code control outside of the LabVIEW environment, so LabVIEW will not allow a VI that is not checked out to the user to be edited
showBDConstName
