I finally came up with something. There are probably more elegant ways of doing it but in the long run, it does what I intended it to do.
I used DAQ assistant to set up all of the possible channels I could use, then put a filter on the output because the signals appeared noisy on the charts. Then I split the signal into 24 individual signals. Then I paired the signals to case structures to represent the individual temp/flow meters that I want to enable or disable depending on if they are being used or not. Lastly I added a write to measurement file to data log all of the channels into one file.
On the front panel, I put all of the meter enable buttons on one configuration tab, along with data logging info. Each of the individual meters are on their own tabs.
The only problem I have left is that when I first open the VI, it starts to run before I get a chance to select which meters I want to enable. I have to then stop it, enable the channels I want and restart it.
