LabVIEW Real-Time (RT) was designed to take care of two specific  engineering needs, real-time event response and closed loop control  systems. Often there is a need to use a single RT controller for  multiple real-time applications in parallel or in sequence.  Operations  that take place in parallel can be thought of as “processes”, while  operation that occur serially which can be called “steps”.  The ultimate  goal is a simple method to coordinate the execution of code on the  real-time target while maintaining real-time properties and provide  simple user feedback. The following is an example of an execution  mechanism referred to as a multi-process engine (MPE).
