I received a call from a long-time LabVIEW customer about what the
synchronous versus asynchronous setting meant on VISA Write. Upon some
digging, I found it didn't do what I thought so I wrote a blog entry on
it that may shed some light for those who are interested.
Synchronous vs Asynchronous Nodes
As a hint, it's not the write that's asynchronous, it's the node that's
asynchronous. What's an asynchronous node in LabVIEW? That's what
the article talks about. It involves how LabVIEW's execution system
really works. This is a case where we expose it to you.
