How to use a SubVI as a trigger for main VI?

[mohrr]

I'm working on my main program now, which calls the two SubVI's (x and y galvo). The program is essential a data acquistion program that acts as an oscilloscope that saves multiple records of data. I have been triggering off of a function generator (Tek AFG), so I just had to select that channel in the program. However, now I am replacing the function generator that triggered the Tek AFG with the PCIe-6321. Is there a way I could trigger off the SubVI(s) that control the 6321? I attached the program. Thank you, Ryan

Here's the code:

Is this a picture of yoru main VI or sub-VI?  It would be easier if you could attach the actual code instead of a picture (LV8.2 or lower).

That's a picture of the main VI, actual code as in the front panel?

Actual code as in your block diagram.

Edit: .VI

Sorry about that, here it is:

File>>Save for Previous Version>>8.2.  I don't have LV11.

Hopefully this works

I would use a Producer-Consumer archetecture.  If the fp is something that will be accessed frequently, consider using an Event structure; otherwise, use your sub-VI to trigger the event you wish to start.  Yes, you can use your sub-VI to trigger an event in your main program (P-C data or event type).  There are many ways to do it.  What type of signal are you trying to measure?  Do you want it to trigger on a certain condition/measurement?

I am basically trying to replace a function generator with the PCIe-6321, and replace that trigger button on the function generator with the run button on LabVIEW. Attached is a picture of the setup I am trying to achieve.
