Value retrieval during execution of SubVI

[sharmishtha]

Hello, I was wondering if someone could give me an idea as to how to display indicator values from a SubVI, while it is still executing? Basically I have a subVI which runs in an infinite loop so there is no way I can get the indicators on the master VI to display any sensible values because they don't get any until the subVI terminates. Is there any way I could dynamically retrieve the values from the SubVI so that the master VI also displays them while the SubVI is still executing?

Sorry if my question is a repetition...but I couldn't find anything relevant in the forums.

Thanks a ton.

Hi sharmishtha,

search for these: globals, functional globals, action engines, notifier, queues, references

"infinite loop"

What kind of program do you have here? How do you stop your program?

use control refnums

Here is an example of how you can use control rerence..
