Programmatically Pause and Resume a Subpanel VI Using LabVIEW

[#1]

Overview

This VI uses VI Server to add a subVI to a subpanel and then to abort and run the subVI on demand.

 
Description

One use case for this VI may be (as in this example) if your subVI contains an Event Structure. When an Event Structure is loaded, it registers for each event, and will not unregister for those events until the VI finishes execution. This method would allow you to use an Event Structure for a portion of your program, and then to discontinue use for a second portion.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run the VI. Press the Pause button above to 'pause' the SubPanel control.
2. Observe how the subpanel is reloaded into memory when the subpanel is 'Paused' and then 'Unpaused.' Note: The 'Paused' subpanel doesn't disappear, but is aborted and should be removed from memory.
3. Click 'STOP' when needed.
