How to launch one VI at a certain time at the time of the end of execution of another?

Hello.
I would like to know how one can launch one VI at the end of the éxecution of another.
I use a FP-2000.
Thank you.

What you described is commonly referred to as "dataflow" in LabVIEW. The attached image shows two of the several methods of achieving dataflow in LabVIEW.

The first method involves a (flat) sequence structure in which execution occurs from left to right, while the second method involves wiring the outputs of one node to the inputs of the next node.

THese techniques will work if both VIs can be loaded into memory at the same time.

Other techniques must be used if they can not.

Memory is has always been the bigest limitation of the cFP2000. You have less than 7 Mb to work with, but that's another story.
