Re: How is an autonomous code suppose to look in the Begin.vi and Finish.vi?

I think I found the answer I was looking for.

I have been working on a offboard vision processing system. It runs on Linux and I want to have it shutdown before powering off the robot. I was hoping to have the Finish.vi run the vi that triggers the shutdown process automatically. Although, if the robot gets shut off before the Finish.vi gets called, then that scheme will not work.

So, any suggestions where to place a vi to shutdown the vision processor board automatically?
