Confused about calling vis from other vis...they seem to hang

Hi Hummer1,

I'm glad that you seem to have found a working solution.  If you have the LabVIEW DSC Module, another option is to request value change notifications.  As shown in the NI Example Finder program "DSC Event Structure Demo," updates to the specified shared variables can then trigger events.

Thanks Jennifer,

I don't have the DSC module, but that would be a good way to do it.  I saw another technique mentioned on another forum having to do with putting a numeric on the front page rather than a "check flags" button.  The value of that was that you could write a number representing a unique respons that was required into the numeric.  These two approaches are equivalent to the interrupt service structures on some of the early microprocessors....interrupts and vectored interrupts...but thanks for info about DSC.
