How to Run Several Instances of a VI at the Same Time in LabVIEW

Sometimes, it needs to run several instances of a VI at the same time in our LabVIEW projects, like open pop-up dialog boxes.
How can we realize it? In fact, it is quiet simple. We just set the pop-up dialog box VI to be reentrant. In the dialog box VI’s menu, select File>>VI Properties. Then, select Execution in Category, and select Reentrant execution option. After these steps, the VI will be reentrant and can be called dynamically in our LabVIEW project and run it in several instances at the same time.
For samples of this LabVIEW VI, you can download them from NI’s site: PopUp.vi and PopUpMain.vi
