Modern operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 2000/NT/9x, Sun Solaris 2, and Linux, provide multithreading technology and the ability to exploit multiprocessor computers. Unfortunately, these technologies and the associated terminology can be confusing to understand and difficult to implement. However, LabVIEW (version 5.0 and later) brings you the advantages of powerful multithreading technology in a simple straightforward way. This application note introduces the concepts of multithreading and explains how you can benefit from multithreading as you build measurement and automation systems. In addition, this application note explains how you can use this technology in LabVIEW without increasing the development time or complexity.
