Hi shafiesani,

there are different capabilities.

- You can place the subVi into your code to run it. Set the VI property to open when called.

- You can open a reference to your VI, start it with a invoke node, open it with a property node and ...

Hope it helps.

thx..i forget to mention that the subVi must run automatically without closing the main VI..is that possible?

Launch the vi dynamically in to memory so that it will run in a new thread. This could be achieved in two ways,

1) using VI server

2) using the "Call By Reference Node"

i made a similar diagram exactly like Guru and mike...but i keep getting this message..eventhough the VI path is correct

post your code and the subvi that you wish to launch so that some one can help you out 🙂

Instead of "\" have you used a "/" or have you defined the filename with some special characters?
