Abstract: System and method for using interrupts in a graphical programming system. A graphical program (GP) comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes which visually indicate functionality of the program is stored on a host computer, where the GP is executable to access a device. The GP and an interrupt service routine (ISR) may be created in response to user input, and if created on another computer system, deployed to the host computer. The GP includes program instructions, e.g., an ISR registration node, e.g., generated and/or included in response to user input, which are executable to register the ISR, and may also include an ISR node representing the ISR. The ISR is stored, and the GP executed, including registering the ISR with the host computer and executing the ISR in response to an interrupt from the device, including acknowledging/clearing the interrupt, and invoking a function, e.g., by invoking an interrupt service thread.
