I am using Fieldpoint and LV realtime to control a machine that will operate in a number of states.
I have a couple of "wishes" that some more experienced people might be able to help me with
I want to use the FP2010 as a standalone device controlling the machine, becasue of the unreliability of the PC for long term testing (approx 1 month)
WISH no. 1, I would also like to be able to connect into the controller and possibly change a set point when the controller is running.
How could this happen, any example code or techniques appreciated
WISH no. 2, I am using a case sequence as the method to determine the machine state
During one of the states I would like to log data from 5 AI channels.
My questions are,
can someone direct me to some straightforward example code
Are there any issues with timing, for instance I have put a 100 millisecond wait inside the main while loop, does this mean that when I get to the datalogging case that my sample rate will be 100 ms.
WISH no 3. I would like to know a robust way to get the logged data out of the controller....I see many options, it there a preferred method.
