Field Point: Using Multiple FP-TC-120

[Labrat2]

I'm fairly new to this. I've used the example fp_tc_120.vi to get started. But now I'm trying to read in from two FP-TC-120 units.

There is a note saying: "Use only one FP Open passing the FP refnum thoughout your VIs. Use only one FP Close to shutdown your entire FieldPoint session."

How would I go about reading from the two units if I can only pass one refnum? Thanks in advanced.

Please move this thread to the Field Point section.

I'm not sure which LV or FieldPoint Version you have. I habe FP 4.1 with LV 7.1.1.

The help here is more precise. Meant is that you should open one iak-File only with one FP Open call. Then you should use the Refnum in your program.

The iak-File is created using MAX. A iak-File is the representation of your FieldPoint hardware. Since you have two TC-120 units you have these in your iak-File. They have two different modul adresses.

Look into the picture about how to organize your programm flow.

Thanks. The flow chart helps explain it.

We're still using the older version of LabView; v6.1.
