State machine architecture with 2 producers 2 consumers?

[Patrem1]

Hi,

I have 2 working Vi that are currently in 'sequence', like you can only execute the program once and it stops, that I want to change to State machine (or other mean) so you can execute them multiple times and close the Vi programmaticly when done. 

I attached simplified versions of those Vi current architecture. 

They both read and write frames from a camera to a file using producer-consumer. One with 1 camera and the other with 2. 

Searching the forums, I'm thinking I can use a state machine with a parralel consumer loop for the 1 camera Vi, as seen in this thread, third post :

But I don't know how to apply this to the Vi with 2 cameras. All the loops must run at their own speed in parralel while acquisition is in progress but the start and stop sequence affects both. 

Thank you,

Create your VI that handles the camera. Then in your main code use the "Start Asynchronous Call" to spawn as many camera processes you need. Use queues, a notifier or a user event to send messages to the camera tasks
