How best to modify Continuous Measurement and Logging project

Hi,

 

I'm looking to log and aquire continuous data from some devices, and it looks like the Continuous Measurement and Logging project template is a great place to start... but I need to log/acquire from upwards of 20+ devices...

 

What's the best way to go about making this template more scalable?

 

Thanks

Without more details I would say think about using arrays and clusters to hold multiple device and data auto indexing them with For Loops.

 

I can't seem to find that design pattern, but I have always found the included patterns too ridged to really be useful anyway and spent more time trying to figure out how to make their design do what I need than it takes to just write it from scratch.

Yes the CM&L project template is a good framework to hang your code on .

 

(You find it with "Create Project" in 2012 and later versions)

 

The developer walk through is useful for the first time getting into the project.

 

With 20 devices I have to ask what kind of throughput are you talking about here?

Thanks, I'll take a look at the developer walk through.  Throughput is not that intense... only about 1-4 samples per second on each device.
