Running two VIs within the same front panel

[Groto]

Quite new int LabView environment and have a question:

I wrote two VIs for reading two serial ports. One is high speed, the other one is only 4800 baud. The two VIs are ruinning nice independently but I need to run them within the same front panel (as this is a test bed application). Problem I have is that I created globals and created nice front panle but for a love of God I cannot put the two VIs in the same loop to run as a separate instances.

I know there is a solution for it cause I saw it but I did not get a copy of it.

Thanks for all and any help to shed some light on it.

There are several ways of doing this, but you can put two loops on the same diagram. They would run separately and each update the front panel independent of the other. The attachment shows the basic concept.
