You don't want the interrupt service routine to run your VI if it contains any delays or a non-trivial amount of code. You will mess up the system's latency.

You want to let the RTOS (vxworks) handle asynchronous events that require non-trivial amounts of processing.

Can you describe in more detail what you are trying to accomplish, and why it can't wait 20ms for the next teleop iteration?
