What you want to do isn't really possible the way you've described it, as the other posters are basically saying as well.
I think what is happening is that you are at a sort of "transition point" in working with LabVIEW.
LabVIEW has the ability to both be a "quick and easy" way to run a fast experiment or get some very basic automation going. It also has the ability to create full applications supporting all the features you'd expect in a full application.
With the first one, you generally make one VI, possibly a subVI or two, and then run it, it stops, and you can see your results on the front panel after it stops. Maybe you do some "cheats" where you press the "Abort" button when you want to stop instead of writing proper code to exit programmatically.
With the second one, you generally make dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of VIs, and when you run a test and finish it then saves the results to disk, to a database, or has them displayed on screen in a special screen, and then without stopping the program you can go back to running another test or whatever.
So what it sounds like is that you're trying to mix these two. You have a program that's complex enough that you're embedding a VI inside of another VI (presumably in a subpanel, though you don't mention it) but you're still trying to keep it simple by not writing code to either save the output of the embedded VI somehow or hold it on screen while the program continues.
So I think you need to do one of the following:
- Develop your code into more of a full application instead of trying to operate in the "quick and easy" mode. OR,
- Add some kinda janky code that, right before stopping, takes the subVI out of its embedded subpanel, shows its front panel manually, and brings it to the front. OR,
- Tell us a lot more details about the full task you're trying to accomplish instead of this one small part of it so we can give better advice.
