Re: Static VI Reference

It's so the program can explicitly keep track of and abort Auto at the end of the 15 sec period.
Auto is a special case just for that reason.

Auto is also designed as a one-call vi, while Teleop is designed to be called 50 times per second.
An earlier season of the LabVIEW default framework offered an option of either method (one-shot or iterative).
You can of course write your own iterative within the one-shot, but it's not particularly meaningful to iterate an Auto based on incoming packets of user controls that are unchanging.
