How to increase the rate at which data is displayed on the front panel

[meierdh]

Good afternoon,

I am somewhat of a LabVIEW novice and I am working on a VI that my company uses to measure temperatures, pressures, and flow rates on a test stand we have in our lab. The code is attached.

Currently, I have the sample rate set to 100 Hz, but I would like to decrease this in order to make the data files easier to work with. However, when I do so, the rate at which the front panel refreshes also decreases. I cannot allow the front panel refresh rate to drop below 1Hz. Can anyone help me figure out what is causing the slowdown?

Also, it seems like the methodology I'm using to split my data and display it could be done better. I find it very difficult to navigate the rats-nest of wires on the right-hand side of the code, but it's the only way I know. Can anyone point me towards some resources to a more efficient method of displaying data?

You are waiting for 100 samples (set on the front panel). So at 100Hz, it will take 1 second to collect the data. At 10Hz, it will take 10 seconds.

You can reduce the number of wires by using clusters and arrays, and displaying the data in a graph instead of numeric indicators.
