Hello All,
Having trouble the flow control for a DAQmx configuration subVI. I need to configure an anolog-out instrument, then continually loop the write function to maintain a constant output. After the loop has started, I need to read a message on another instrument (happens to be RS485 card). Then, after I have read the message, I need to stop the analog-out loop. This sounds like it should be pretty simple, but I can't seem to get the order of operations correct. Tried local variable, flat sequence structures, and nested while loops.
To summarize:
Process A needs to start and run continually
Process B must wait for Process A to start, before it can start
After Process B has finished, need to go back and stop the loop for Process A
I've worked with situations similar to this before, using local variables to stop parallel loops, but it was never dependant on one process needing to wait for another one to start. I do realize that I could simply implement a delay on the second process, but that would really just be guessing at the completion time (not preferred). Please advise. Thanks.
