Yeah, I know that now - before Joe's answer I didn't know if it was a parallel task.

As it turns out, since the gyro open is blocking, I shouldn't need to do anything. The default code flashes USER 1 LED in PeriodicTasks.vi. PeriodicTasks.vi won't run until Begin.vi completes. So... as long as open gyro is done in Begin.vi (which is where it should be), USER 1 LED will not start flashing until the gyro cal is complete. Yea for simplicity.
