Policy of Disk File access (organize)

[DavidLee]

Hello,
I am facing a trouble for the stream data file access .
My project need to mount many PLC and FieldPoint modules ,so there are many I/O points(items) ,for each item ,I need to save its measured value to a binary file ,under the circumstance without using SQL Database ,I would like to organize these data into one stream file ,because creating a individual file for each item is not good . Can you give me an idea of how to make such a file access (organize) policy ? Your advise is highly appreciated .Thanks.

David

Hello

You could create structs that would be organize according to devices and the channels associated with them, and then write the structs to a file. You could also just write ACSII rows and columns ( like Excel ). But its upto you to choose between storage space and code simplicity.
