Need your help - what is the best concept for my project?

Sorry for the late reply... It's been a crazy day..

Enum:
I created the enum as a typedef for a reason: If you add a new element, all depending structures in the vi will notice it.

Is that also the case if it is a constant?

As already mentionned..  yes.  I do it all the time.  🙂

Avoiding coersion:
I don't see these red dots in my VI. I created the set period time control by right mouse click on the connector and then "create control", so it must be correct. The red dot is probably because of our different LabVIEW Versions.

LOL!!  Oh yes, they are there..  a UINT32 wired to a Double will produce a coercion dot..  😉

Creating a project:
In LV 7.1 I can not find something like "File > New > Project" at least not in my version.
I tried using the Application Builder, but I can not create pure libs, only dlls + libs.

You won't find it in LV7.1.  It was a new feature introduced with LV8.0.

You are right concerning the conversion of the set period time to double in the consumer loop.

But have a look at the timed loop. I see red dots on your last screenshot, which I don't see in my vi.

They probably changed something with the newer LV version.

I would not worry about it.  As long as you do not have coercion, then it's fine 🙂

How is everything else with the software?

I didn't get a chance to look at the code.

Everything seems to be fine now with the software. If not, I'll post it.

Thank you very much again for your generous and very good help!!!
