Help with Building a Program for a teststand

[nivaar]

Hey there i Started labview in August with the courses Core 1 and 2 and By now im quite into labview. Im Building a labview project for a teststand that has a couple of Sensors and actors. Therefore im im using a cDAQ device with some input and Output Modules for my I/O‘s with daqmx. I Build my program with a big state machine so far But from Talking to colleagues they told me to use More Loops for different Occasions (i.e data aquisition, UI and so on). I stumbeled upon QMH, DQMH and Actor Framework. The Problem for me is to how to Communicate between the loops (i know there are queues and notifiers). But When i acquire data in the one Loop i pass it to Another Loop to Analyze and Modify the data?

Also i was told to Not use Event structures for my User Inputs. Is there Another easy and nice way to Process User inputs?

Thanks for any help!

Welocme to this (with regards to your concern not entirely correct) forum

IMHO, your questions are basic LabVIEW questions, so it would be best to ask your questions there, this is the forum for a Test Executive Software called "TestStand"

BTW... I'd recommend using DQMH. I don#t think you need the complexity of AF yet.

And theres an example for a use case you are describing for DQMH
