Run 2 VIs with from 2 different PC connectors

[Xiang00]

Hi guys,

I would like to run two VIs independently on the same PC at the same time ( no sychronization ) . Each VI has its own PC connectors ( 2 different USB ) to gather and send data. Is that possible?

Thank you for help in advance!

yes you can. but how are you planing your program structure? one vi, to control the other two? or just have to different progams that run separatedly and independetly. [?]

Thank you for fast reply.

I am planing to run two programs separately. One to control a light source, the other to control a detector. The detector is connected to a NI DAQ board (usb6211). But the light source only has D-sub 9 connector. So I think I have to use two independent program to control them.

The same program can control both of them.  You just have different references for each thing you are trying to control.  In this case, you will have a DAQmx task to control the DAQ and a VISA  reference to control the light source.

You basically just need 2 control loops. They'll be individual.
