start stop loop

You can hide a control by setting its visible property to false.

thanks, but I was wondering if it was some better method

[ben64]

Have a look at the Master/Slave and Producer/Consumer architectures from new - VI from Template and from the LabVIEW examples. It might look more complicated at first but it can save you a lot of time later.

Instead of an extra boolean and local variable, you could create a local variable of the gauge and do the comparison in the second loop. Keep it lightweight!

send it as a bool notifier, no switch involved...

Tanks, this is intersting.

At first glance, seems to work, but in fact a strange thing happens, the two LEDs lambegguano with the same frequency, whereas I would like them each with their own. The problem is caused by waiting for the notification from the second cycle. I think I will use the smallest delay in the main loop ( none in the second) and using some math with remainders I can arrange the leds blinking rates. Pheraps it would be better to use queque instead notification.

Wire a 200 constant to your wait on notification

So why did you mark it as solution? Seems way overengineered for such a simple task and, as you noticed, it is constipated. 😄

Also notice that you can use a single loop running at the greatest common divisor of the different blink rates. Now you don't even need to communicate between different loops. 😄

Here's a quick draft. Modify as needed.
