VI Front panel not closing

[electronic_lab]

Hello, my program runs with a VI (1) that eventually opens another VI (2), and VI (1) should close. The problem is that VI (2) opens, but VI (1) remains open and that frame doesn't execute. What should I do to make it work as intended?

That is because VI 2 must complete before the next frame can execute. Look into dynamically calling VIs. There are a few ways to do this. I prefer using the Start Asynchronous Call for these situations where you want a new VI to run independently of the calling VI.
