engine status and shutdown tag engine

[eyebe]

I have an easy question... but it's not so easy that I can actually find documentation on it.

Is the tag engine status.vi considered a VI that accesses the tag engine?

I ask because the tag engine will not shutdown until all VI's that access the tag engine are shutdown. I would like a while loop checking the status of the tag engine to run until the tag engine is shutdown.

Hi,

The 'Get Engine Status.VI' does not access the Engine. (You can check this and any such VI by dropping it on the diagram and running it. If the Engine is launched, the VI in question accesses the Engine.)

The 'Get Engine Status.VI' is meant for things like what you're trying to do. In fact, the HMI Wizard generates such a while-loop with this VI.

Hope this helps.

Rgds,

Khalid 🙂
