I have several PXI cards (DMM, O-scope, etc) that I want to create a master panel that can control all of the instruments individually, though not necessarily all at the same time (turn "instruments" on and off at will while the master vi continues to run). Is there one design pattern (master/slave, producer/consumer, etc.) that works better than another for this type of master panel? Are there other alternatives for this type of problem (VI Server, etc)?
I was hoping that I could save a bunch of time if I could start on the right path right off the bat!
Thanks,
