How to rescope global variables on a per-instance basis?

SeanDonner · ‎05-31-2012

I have an inherited app that unforutnatly makes lots of use of global variables (not the functional kind). If we want to run two instances of the top-level VI simultaneously without having the global variables collide with each other, what is the least painful way to accomplish this *without* having to build it into an exe?

I'm not sure if it'll work or not, but what would happen if you ran the VIs in two different projects? I might have to try that when I manage to find some free time.

And when you do, I suspect you will find you are correct.

Not that I know from experience seeing I never use those thingies.
