How do I take 2D data from a main program and write it to another program using data socket?

[HAL]

I tried having the data write to a global variable and then read the data from the global variable in the other vi program. The update performance slows dramatically. If I use data socket to transfer the data will it increase the performance? If I do use data socket how can I take the data from one program and write it to the other to update my fromt panel displays?

Datasocket will be even slower. To get a chuck of data from one VI to another asynchronously, use a queue or LV2-style global (functional global).

See the LabVIEW Design Patterns article for more information.
