Calling a VI to run and closing the caller VI

Question

Good day to all
what I wanted to ask is:
lets say I'm running a VI who is calling another VI.
now I want to close the first one and leave the second one running.
can it be done? and if so how?
thanks

Answer 1

That's a property node. What I had shown in my example is an invoke node. You will need to learn about property nodes and invoke nodes which can be used to act on specific LabVIEW classes, such as VI references and control references. You can learn about these in the LabVIEW Help and in the examples that ship with LabVIEW. For control references you can take a look at this: Control References: Overview. For a VI the same concepts apply, except you just have a different list of properties and methods.
To pass values to a VI that you call dynamically you therefore have to use the appropiate methods, like in this example:
To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.
