Running Multiple Tasks

This example shows different approaches to designing an application. The attached library contains three top-level VIs that accomplish three tasks each: acquire data, analyze data, and present data. The acquired data is simulated, so you do not need a DAQ device to run these VIs.

Each top-level VI takes a different approach to accomplishing the three different tasks. The Ordered Example VI processes the tasks sequentially. The Multiple Tasks Example (Simple) VI processes the tasks independently, with no timing or synchronization to prevent lost data. The Multiple Tasks Example (Advanced) VI processes the tasks independently and uses Queues to insure no data is lost.

Refer to the Using LabVIEW to Create Multithreaded Applications for Maximum Performance and Reliability Application Note (see link below) for more information about running multiple tasks.

Needs an update
Could a file like this be made available for newer versions of labview? I am having trouble starting and running simultaneos tasks
