Make sequences affect one another

Anyone knows how to make 1 sequence control the other sequence while they both are running at the same time?I have tried global variables but it changed only the value.

I have attached the 2 sequences and the VIs they call.Thx.Smiley Tongue

If you execute both sequences on their own, it's rather difficult to synchronize them properly, at least for beginners. If you'd use the same execution, you could easily use the synchronize steptypes like notifier/queue.

If not, you have to pass the synchronization outside of the execution. This could be done using UIs or "synchronization demons".

 

hope this helps,

I haven't looking in the files, but in principle, synchronizing multiple executions shouldn't be all that hard. Synchronization objects can be referenced by name, stored in station globals, or passed to executions as arguments, among other things.
