Pass locals to a VI called asynchronously

[B.Settles]

I'm looking at the sequence example, "LabVIEW Express VIs". In this example sequence, there are two VIs that are setup to run asynchronously. In the "Display Signals" VI, a reference to the sequence local "StopDemo" is somehow passed to the VI to control with the VI's Exit button, when the sequence stops. I do not see how this reference is passed to the VI from the sequence. I know how to do this using the typical Step Types for calling VIs, but I don't see how this is done with the "Run VI Asynchronously" Step type.

Help.

Hi settlesj,

The user-interface for the asynchronous steps is slightly different than the "normal" steps.  If you click the little "Specify VI" button  in the step setting you will see the parameters in the dialog box that appears.  For this specific example, you can see how StopDemo is being written to from the VI:
