You can create two parallel loops in your vi that run at different rates or you can spawn another independent process using VI server. Using vi server you can programmatically load a vi that wouldn't be in the hierarchy of the caller vi. See the following example on how to load a vi programmatically. THis way if VI A stops VI B can keep running. Hope this helps.
