Tom,
While the "Parent" VI is running, if you programmatically launch another VI
(that has front panel), the front panel of the subVI will cover up the
parent's... but, if you had other loops on the parent diagram, say that
checked for alarm conditions, etc., they would still be running and doing
their job.... while the user is now interacting with the front panel of the
subVI. A global variable can be used to signal the subVI to exit. When you
exit the subVI, the parent's front panel re-appears.
Hope that helps,
Bill
