Hello Everyone,
Before I ask my question let me explain my setup. I am using the NI9205 with a load cell, the NI9201 with five pressure transducers, NI9212 with two thermocouples. All of these are connected together in the NI9174 chassis. In order to collect data I am using the Producer Consumer Template to read and write data. In the Producer section I am generating fifteen data points, these data points include the instrument's converted voltage value, the raw voltage value, and time. I am writing all of these to a text file at 500 samples/sec.
My question is, “What is the limit of the Producer Consumer Template?” How many data points do I need to generate per second before the Producer Consumer Template stops working correctly? Surely big companies don’t just use a MASSIVE Producer Consumer Template to collect all of their data. Or do they?
Any thoughts and information would be appreciated!
