"As you are from NI definitely you might be knowing the answer to my question.
My question is,
I'm continuously acquiring the signals from the field through PXI-6052E,scxi1000 chassis.
I want to display them in different display formats.
For that I have developed some vis(attached) and calling them from main vi.
The problems i'm encountering is
1) I cannot able to display them at a time.Even I can rum them simultaneouly using vi reference,but the fromt panel is not coming to the front.
2) How should I assign the priority for the vis, bec
oz continuously i have to acquire and display.For this I have used Analog i/p vis .I can able to accsess 32 channels using ob0!sc1!md!0:31 .But how can i acquire all the 128 channels using the same vi.
3)What may be the efficient way to log the datas.If saving the datas in a file is thegood way, the waht for Datalogging and supervisiory control.
4)I have developed all the vis.How can i create an exe file.What are all the minimum requirements a system should have to execute my exe file."

Answer 1

I can actually help you with question 3 after reading it more carefully. Assuming you have 4 SCXI modules with 32 channels and you want to read all 128 channels each time you scan, the channel string you could use to do that is:
ob0!sc1!md1!0:31,ob0!sc1!md2!0:31,ob0!sc1!md3!0:31,ob0!sc1!md4!0:31
This will scan across all 32 channels on all 4 modules, so that would pick up all 128 channels in the SCXI chassis.
