Release Semaphore VI

Owning Palette: Semaphore VIs

Requires: Base Development System

Releases access to a semaphore. If the Acquire Semaphore VI is waiting for the semaphore this VI releases, it stops waiting and continues execution.

Use this VI in conjunction with the other Semaphore VIs to implement a semaphore in LabVIEW.
