VI to use both LC's together
VI to use both LC at the same time
 
1. We will ultimately be using both LCs together. Today the temperature control for both LC was added in a single VI. The speed of saving was at around 75Hz
 
2. Added global variable in subVIs (temperature controller, power meter, and polcam), instead of reading variable from them.
 
3. When I tried integrating Voltage control, the speed dropped to about ~39Hz. We need to think about how to be careful around this, as this is the main loop where we vary the voltage to induce retardance change. The main loop has several other logic and hence adding something makes it expensive.

A parameter for a phase shifted voltage waveform between the two LCs has also been added. 

The VI is completely ready for use. The speed of VI (with all data saving) is 40Hz.
