This topic is very close to my question, so I chose to post here.
I also wish to start a vi for graphing data from within another vi, but in my case the main vi is a loop which must continue to run. I have compiled the second vi and called it with the system exec vi, which does work, but I would much rather leave it as a vi so that when I compile, I will end up with only one exe. I believe that the vi server is what I need to use, but I have had no experience using it. Any help in this area would be appreciated.
