How to not stop tektronix scope update by reading waveform

I'm acquiring data from a tektronix scope and it's inconvenient that the after I fetch the waveform in Labview, the waveform freezes on the scope.

 

I'm using "tkdpo7k Read (Multiple Waveforms).vi"

 

Note: This may seem minor, but I'm performing experiments where it would be much quicker to monitor the waveform while waiting for Labview to perform various calculations

This is what happens when you use instrument drivers without bothering to understand what commands are being sent and what the commands actually do.

 

I would suggest actually downloading the Programmer's Manual for your scope and reading it.
