proper use of stacked sequence structure

There is no "proper" use case for a SSS.


I agree. The benefit (skipping a comparison) is very slight to the downsides (harder to read code, inflexibility, maintainability and so on). If you're hunting those clock cycles of performance your problem probably lies elsewhere. 🙂

Thats like saying "Remove Globals and Locals."  It really makes no sense.  Sure, the SSS, like Globals and Locals, can be abused.  And, unfortunatly often is!  But, it does provide a syntatactic element in LabVIEW that serves a unique purpose.  [...]

Yes there was a recient CS type discussion on the SSS, I started it.  I'm not really a CS guy.

I love lurking around those discussions.

That's smart stuff, right there.  I don't even know what that means, and I can't recall that it was explained later in the thread.

We can make you life a lot easier now that I know you are using an Agilent 34970.  That instrument will accept a channel list.  Meaning you don't have to do everything separately in loops.  Just make a list of all of your channels and do everything once.

Good morning

There is probably a way to do it in your suggestion as well, but as far as i can see it makes it a litle bit harder for me to start / stop the "batches" of reading seperately?
