I am trying to put together a VI which has a button to create a new
plot. That plot should pop-up as another VI and be fed data by the
caller VI. I do this by using Open VI Reference, and then calling by
that reference to update the plot.
I store the references in an array, because I really want the user
to be able to create arbitrarily many plots and I will feed them
various bits of data as the user wants. Problem is, if I try to
Open VI Reference the same VI again, I get exactly the same window
popping up as before... that is I can only have one plot going at once.
I'm not sure about how to go about fixing this aside from just copying
the vi to multiple names and putting some really ugly case statements
in my program so that the first p
lot is "plot1.vi", the seconds is
"plot2.vi"... etc.
Is there another approach to this?
