Hi gokul,

to show more than one front panel simultanuously you have to use more than one VI...

You will have to call the 2nd VI as subVI either by putting it in the BD of the mainVI or by using VI server calls!

Make your VI reentrant and then programmatically spawn new instances.  To make the VI reentrant, go to File>>VI Properties.  In the Category pull down, select Execution, then select "Preallocated clone reentrant execution".

Here is an example to show you how to programmatically spawn the VI:

(Edit) Just add an invoke node to open the front panel of each clone after the Run VI method.
