Interactive SubVI panel opening

[Oriol Llargues]

I wish to know if is it possible to open and close a SubVI panel while this runs continuously because is making a plotting data at the same time that it arrives from a wireless sensor network. I would like to have the possibility to open or close the graph.subVI but I do not want to stop this subrutine because the data has to be plotted without lossing graphical data.

If someone have some useful idea please tell me. Thanks a lot.

You can use the FP Open property node. If you create a property node and wire in a reference to that Vi you can set the boolean FP Open value to true and false. I use it with a TCP/IP server to show and hide the front panel of the server for debugging purposes and it runs fine without stopping the application.
Hope this helps.

Here is a little example of what Dave is referring to.

I am sorry I forgot to say that I am working with the 6i version (student version). I can not open your example library.

Thank you, finally I could open the example library, now I have used the property node to open the subvi.

Try this.
