Flowmeter Omega Fpr301 Labview Real-time flow rate and save to file

[IEM_OT]

Hi, 

I'm setting up a OMEGA FPR301 flow meter. For every rotation of the device's wheel a pulse is generated. I need to count the number of pulses per minute to convert this value into a flow rate. In labview, I went through the edge count example, and I am able to count edges in realtime. 

However, I want to be able to setup a .vi where the number of pulses are counted and converted to a flow rate before saving to a file, and ideally the .vi will display the intantaneous flow rate while the system is running without losing count of any new pulses generated while the .vi is processing/displaying/saving the information. 

I have gone through the "Count Digital Events-Buffered-continuous Clk-count reset.vi" example in the Labview Help, since it seems I need to use the DAQ's clock to set it up.

Do you have any guidance on how to set this up? 

The DAQ I am using is the NI-6343, and the flow meter is the OMEGA FPR301 with digital pulses.  

Thanks!

Given you are trying to manipulate data while continuously taking in data, it sounds like your best bet will be to implement a Producer-Consumer Loop

Here's an example as well: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2431

@IEM_OT hi sir, have been able to produce a code for this application? I need to use Omega FPR300 on FPGA.
