Help please!

I need to read 20 channels. rtd's,  flowmeters, etc.. Is it best to create a sub vi for each channel read and then call all sub vi to one VI? I just want to read and display and then save to file. No calculations for now. Do i create one large user interface (display) page and just call all the sub-vi from there? thank you from the newb.

I'm assuming this is probably an extension of this thread. Are all of your signals coming from one DAQ device? If so, you only need to do one read, and have it read multiple channels. There are many shipping examples that show you how to perform DAQ reads, display them, and save to file. Open the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) and look through the examples. Several come to mind that will do what you want. 

 

As for the display: What do you want to display? Digital indicators, graphs, pictures?

 

To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free. You may also want to go through the DAQ tutorials.
