    I figured it out!

    To open the ELW run the function _vuiLViewLayoutCB(t) with a global variable vuiLOpenForm pointing to a symbol.
    The _vuiLViewLayout() function creates a form accessable via vuiLOpenForm and the _vuiLViewLayoutCB(t) function uses that global form to retreive the run directory and cell name to open.

    For instance, if you want to open a DRC run with the ELW that is in "/home/ahamlett/drc" with a cell name of "scratch" then use this code:

    ; setup the vuiLOpenForm symbol vuiLOpenForm = 'customDRC vuiLOpenForm->dataName = 'dataName vuiLOpenForm->runDir = 'runDir vuiLOpenForm->dataName->value = "scratch" vuiLOpenForm->runDir->value = "/home/ahamlett/drc" ; open the ELW _vuiLViewLayoutCB(t) Now we can create custom Assura runs that save time!
