How can i execute in the same block diagram two separate labview codes each one with diferent execution timings?

Question

Hello guys. I have been trying to solve this by a long time now...but i cant solve it....
I have my main code in labview beying executed in one timed loop of 1second.....but now i need to pulse a lazer very fast than one second...
my ideia was like executing the lazer pulse code in paralel with the main code but with a mutch faster timed loop....but when i put the second timed loop outside of the main one....it hapens that the aplication keeps runing only the faster loop and the main loop doesnt run....
I really dont know how to solve this....
many thanks

JOSE,
your code is really difficult to read. Please do some cleanup work, your diagram should be only little larger than an average computer screen. What I have glanced so far is that your code has a lot of beginner mistakes (overuse of local variables).
For multi-loop applications, you shoul have a look at the tutorials concerning Producer-Consumer design pattern. The quick and dirty approach is to use locals (a bit contradictonary to suggest using locals here after I stated an overuse of them). The drawback will be, that you lose the latch mechanism of the button and must code it on your own (and make a big set of mistakes, using locals always attracts race conditions). Most important is that you write to your button only once, after all loops have finished spinning.
