I want to use a CompactRIO system and LabVIEW Real-Time for a stand alone long time measurement. In the Compact RIO unit I want to do a rain flow count on several of the measured channels and save the results. Since I want to use a "simplified" version of rain flow count, meaning that data is rearranged to start with either the maximum peak or the minimum valley, I guess I will have to pause the measurement, do the rain flow count, and then start the measurement again.
I was planning to use an implementation in C-code of the rain flow count and call it from LabVIEW Real-Time.
My questions are: Is it possible to do the rain flow count on the CompactRIO runnning LabVIEW Real-Time?
Is it possible to use the simplified rain flow count where data is rearranged?
Is there any software from National Instruments that I can use so that I don't have to Implement the the rain flow algorithm myself?
Does anyone have any other tips for me on how to solve this?
Thank you in advance //klasi
