Create Dynamic Groups from Multiple Sensors

[MeCoOp]

An upcoming project will have about 150 thermocouple sensors throughout the test set-up.  I would like to be able to select certain sensors, maybe up to 8 and be able to label and monitor this group with temperature ouput and charting.  I need the ability to create multiple groups, which means the same sensor may be used more than once.  I would also like to be able to delete the group if necessary.  Any ideas on how to start, I'm at a loss.

Thanks.

Hello!

It may not be terribly memory-friendly, but if you know the channel numbers for each group, you might be able to use arrays.

For example: We want channel 0, 5, 6, and 10 on one graph. Your output array has 150 channels, and you don't want to display all of them on a graph. You can use an Index Array function to only pass out the indexes you specify (i.e. 0, 5, 6, and 10). You can then pass the output array to a graph, and it will only consist of those indexes.

Hope that gives you some ideas!
