LV users smarter than I,
I have developed a UI that programmatically places cluster controls neatly on a tab control page.
The same tab control page also has a few XY Graph controls.
Within each of the clusters are the following:
String Control - Contains the channel name
String Control - Contains the "units" of the channel
Numeric Control - Contains the data value of the channel
String Control - Contains the timestamp value of the channel
Menu Ring Control - Contains a list of available plots upon which data channel will be displayed.
I am using Control References to position and populate the values of the controls programmatically.
All of this works fine.
However, whenever I have my test system running, If I mouse click on one of the Menu Ring Controls (which then pops up the list of options), my data acquisition stops until I make a selection or click outside the selection box.
I realize that I haven't explained anything about my data acquisition and where it is going on, but I don't want to overwhelm this post out of the gate.
So here are the major details.
I have multiple DAQ VIs (one for each type of DAQ equipment) that are all reentrant and called via Invoke Node.
They feed a queue.
There is a queue consumer which sends the data to a TDMS file; within this queue consumer is a subVI which displays all data live and contains everything mentioned above.
So, I don't understand why my Invoke Nodes are failing to execute while I have my Menu Ring selected.
I have come to understand that LV multitasking can sometimes cause these types of issues but how in the world do I troubleshoot?
Help!

P.S. Attached is a photo of the UI for reference. This may clear up some of my rambling.
