It's in 2014...

The task manager I've seen does this very inefficiently (it could have been an older version). It calculates the clone crc every time it iterates over the possible clone names:

For each VI

 For x = 1 to n

  calculate crc

  ref = crc + x

The crc doesn't change, it's only input is the VI name...

For each VI

 calculate crc

 For x = 1 to n

  ref = crc + x

Just a hint. It will be hundreds of times faster.

Note that this is unsupported although it works. It might very well change in future versions of LV (NXG for sure).

Thanks ww.brown,

I went with the hash you posted.  I use the clone VI's Front Panel Window: Title property to uniquely configure and subsequently select the clone instance I want to automate.

Thanks to all who posted.
