hello, i am new to this forum and fairly new to LabView. i have been using previous programming knowlege to feel my way through LabView (with a little sweat, a lot of tears, and some blood - other people's blood - i have been able to do most of what i need, although not in the prettiest fashion). i appologize if this is a stupid question. i'm really over a barrel.
the goal: I am trying to synchronize two sub-proccesses. i want the first one to start collecting data from a "ni usb 6008" and loop until stopped. shortly after, i want another proccess to start running multiple RUS scans. once this proccess has run it's course, it will send the stop command to the first proccess. the effect is that i will have seizmic data (from the usb 6008) covering the entire time that the RUS scans took place.
the problem: the RUS proccess runs. when it completes, the usb 6008 proccess runs, but only iterates the loop once because the stop command was given by the RUS before this proccess even started. in terms of usability, this data is worthless because it is from after the RUS scans stopped. i've been pulling my hair out, trying to figgure this out. please help...
thanks a bunch for any and all help,
~B.
