Running VI in the background

[Willy7]

I want to run a VI in the background that performs the acquisition from a Field Point from time to time, and keep my interface VI unlocked for the user while the data acquisition is being done. Anyone knows how to do that?? Thanks!!!

Hello:

You can certainly do this using LabVIEW. You just need to program your LabVIEW VI to read from your FP module at the desired loop rate and update a front panel or whatever you want to do there. Another good solution could be to use LabVIEW Remote Panels to have a system acquiring data from the Fieldpoint module that you can access over the Internet using your web browser from any networked PC. You can find more info on Remote Panels (LV versions 6.1 and later only) in the LabVIEW help or online at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/learningcenter.nsf/03f7c60f17aad210862567a90054a26c/2ad405a06ebed71586256c4e00621c73?OpenDocument.

Good Luck!
