Local variable (RT)

RT code

Use a local variable (front-panel indicator) to communicate between

two parallel process loops contained within the same VI, and use a
local variable to stop parallel loops with one "stop" button.

Global variable (RT)

RT code

Use a global variable to communicate between two parallel process

loops contained within different VIs under the same target, and use
a global variable to stop parallel loops with one "stop" button.

Functional global variable (FGV)

RT code

Use a functional global variable (FGV) to communicate between two

parallel process loops contained within different VIs under the same
target, and use a FGV to stop parallel loops with one "stop" button.
The "functional" nature of the FGV means that you can create
additional functionality beyond that of a basic global variable, e.g.,
counting and calculations that operate on the stored value.

Queue
RT code

Use a queue to send messages and data between two or more

parallel process loops contained within a VI or other VIs. Queues
also serve as the foundation for the "Queued State Machine" design
pattern.

Channel wire
RT code

Use a channel wire to communicate between two (or more) parallel

process loops contained within the same VI, and use a channel wire
to stop parallel loops with one "stop" button. Requires LabVIEW
2016 or later version.

Local variable (FPGA)

FPGA code

Use a local variable (front-panel indicator) to communicate between

two parallel process loops contained within the same VI.

Global variable (FPGA)

FPGA code

Use a global variable to communicate between two parallel process

loops contained within different VIs under the same target.
