The Operate menu contains items you use to control the operation of your VIs.
Run executes the VI. You can also use the Run button on the toolbar.
Stop stops the VI before it completes execution. Avoid using the Stop menu item to quit a VI, because it can leave your system in an unstable state. You should use a Boolean switch or similar device to stop any VI that continuously executes.
Suspend when Called causes the VI to suspend execution when it is called as a subVI.
Print at Completion prints the resultant front panel when the VI completes execution. You also can use the Print at Finish property to print the front panel programmatically.
Data Logging allows you to access the Log, Retrieve, Purge Data, Change Log File Binding, and Clear Log File Binding data logging functions.
Make Current Values Default stores the current values of controls and constants as defaults. You also can use the Make Current Values Default method to set the current values as defaults programmatically.
Reintialize All to Default returns all current controls and constants to their defaults. You also can use the Reinitialize All to Default method to return all controls and constants to their defaults programmatically.
Change to Run Mode switches your VI to Run mode. When in Run mode, this menu item changes to Change to Edit Mode.
