Doug,
I sure hope you are not using that "continuous run butten" (to the right of
the "run button") in a "production vi".
Put your main VI in a while loop and don't forget a small "wait next ms" so
it plays well with all your other programs that are running.
All you need is in "VI setup" (right click on the icon in the upper right).
"run when opened" (but not "continuous run when opened"
😉 ) is one of the
"execution options", the decorations etc. are in "windows options".
Cheers
Christian
