What is the best way to create an environment that runs multiple instances
of the same VI. The VI needs to run when called and n number of instances
will be needed. I would prefer not to use the same VI with n different names.
I would like to use one VI but the VI can not be reentrant because Indicators
and Controls are being used. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hello,
It is a bit awkward, but the best solution I've been able to locate (when
you need to maintain independent front panel controls) is to programatically
copy the vi to form a duplicate then load the copy as a second instance via
vi server calls. Controls/indicators of each instance can also be accessed
via the server routines.
best of luck,
