How to run two vi's simultaneously?

[llertnac cire]

I am relatively new to labview, so I am not expert enough to figure this
out,... yet. I am running a test setup using several pieces of test
equipment. Therefore, the screen is pretty busy as it is. At certain
points in the test, I want to click on a button that calls up a spectrum
analyzer, which takes a snapshot of the data, then close. The problem is
that when I "click" the call spectrum analyzer button, the other test
equipment stops taking data. I then pretty much have to restart the whole
shebang. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,
eric

Use VI server and set the caller not to wait for the called VI to finish.
Look at VI server examples.

I've done something similar in the past and used the following
available vi's Get Instrument State.vi with Preload Instrument.vi, Run
Instrument.vi, Open Panel.vi and finally Close Panel.vi

Its been awhile so I don't remeber exactly how I set them up.
