Re: Why Do LV7 VIs Stop Executing When I Click on the Window Title Bar?

Hi Dean. Thanks for the ideas. The VI was not re-entrant (since it is called in only one place, and has only one data set), but I tried making it plus its subvis re-entrant, as you suggested. No difference. FYI, I have observed that the problem only occurs within the VIs memory space - e.g. if I a

Hi jhoskins. Thnaks for the feedback. I tried this, but it made no difference. My VI loops every 37 msec, and takes about 12-13 msec to read the data (2048 x i32 array). I am already using "Wait until next ms multiple" , with a value of 37 msec, to get the required loop time (which I calculatem bas

I am trying to run a deterministic VI (LV 7.0) which reads data from a DSP and displays it in a graph. The VI has to read the data within a certain time or the DSP overwrites the buffer. I find that the graph stops reading (for about .25 sec) when I click on its title bar (or that of any other VI),
