What to do when you have data coming in at different rates over the same COM port?

What do the other tabs look like in your picture? also why is number of 0x333 points just run straight through? where is the 20 averaging taking place in your example?

The number of 0x0333 points is incremented each time the 0x0333 is recieved.  The averaging is done in the 0x0555 case, which at that point is just a simple divide (sum/num points).

[superomario]

But that doesn't average the last data collected between 0x555 cases, it just averages all of the data ever received by the 0x333 channel. I am not sure I am getting how to wire up this case structure too well either, where do the other tunnels go as far as shift registers? 

Slightly updated VI attached.

I think I figured it out, I moved the graph into the case for the 0x555, and it now updates only once per second, with the average value from the 0x333 sensor. Does this look at all correct? 

[superomario]

So the VI I posted DOES update teh graph at once per second, but it still writes to the queue out to the file whenever there is data. How do I ONLY send data out during the 0x555 case in the structure?

Move the code that writes to the queue to inside of the case structure, just like you did for writing to the graph.

Does the mean pt by pt do what I am intending it to do or am I not getting the last 20 0x333 data points averaged whenever I get a 0x555 case appear? Where is the data for the 0x333 getting stored to do an average if I have no arrays building anywhere?
