Independent instances of same subVI

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi, I am making a control panel for eight temperature controllers. The controllers communicate to labVIEW with serial communication. I made a subVI that has a while loop inside to display temperature values every certain time. In the main VI I call twice this subVI with independent parameters (inputs) and control the open/close of their front panels with buttons. Although, the Hierarchy diagram shows that both references points to the same subVI so I cannot open them independently. Can you help me, please?

I believe you need to call Open Reference twice to obtain two references.

Jhonny,

     It looks like you set the caller code up correctly to Start Asynchronous Call on a "clone".  So all you should need to do is to make sure that your "clone", Panel Individual, has its VI Properties set to Preallocated Reentrant.  I can't tell if you've done that by looking at your Snippet, which is why it is advisable to attach the actual VI(s).

Don't use option 0x40 and call the Open function twice to get two clones.

I did it and I succesfully opened two independent front panels but a get another thing wrong. When I opened a front panel, it seems not to be working, it was just freezed and any of its buttons worked.

I was using the "shared clone option" so I changed it to "preallocated" and it worked but now both front panels seems to be freezed and none of its buttons worked. I tried not to use asynchronous call but Run VI method instead and I think it is a solution for now

I looked for the available options in the open reference method and I figured out that 0x40 was not for waiting a response as you said.
