"Run Continuously" is not something that should be used in an application. (There are very few legitimate uses for continuous run, e.g. to quickly play with a few input parameters while debugging a subVI independent of the main application. The equivalent in your case would be to just place the run invocation in a loop and call it repeatedly. This is definitely not the way to do it!)

Why don't you simply place a big while loop around all the code inside the VI that needs to run continuously?

altenbach is absolutely correct. I would highly dissuade you from using the Run Continuously Button to execute your application. The best way would be as he explained, to envelope the application code in a large while loop. This way, you are not repeatedly calling the application.
