Is there any way to call a sub vi which has input parameters and not wait until it finishes executing?

[sal]

Hi,

I have a main vi that I would like to call a sub vi from and have the main vi continue on without waiting for the sub vi to finish. I can open a reference to the sub vi and invoke the "run" method, but in this fashion, I cannot pass any parameters to the sub vi. Or, I can use a call by reference node where I can pass parameters, but there is no option to not "wait until done". How can I do this? Is global variables the only way?

Thanks!

Use the method Set Control Value before you invoke Run. You specify the exact name of the control and the data you want to pass needs to be flattened to a string.
