Hello,
I have a problem with room monitoring VI.I need multiple buttons with each opening a new window.The users needs to save some simple data,like number of pallets,the time it's supposed to be monitored for and let's say the type of the product.The user needs aproximately 18 buttons of these type.
After a button has been pressed,the new window pops up and he is able to write the time,in hours usually 24 or 48 hours,the type of the product and how many pallets there are.Now my problem comes from the fact that he needs a boolean indicator which shows him if the room the product is being placed is empty,in progress or complete.I've been able to do this with 1 room,but for multiple rooms the main VI waits for the room that was used to finish,meaning that from the main VI I can't open multiple sub VI's to use for each different room.
Other things I didn't get to are:
-saving the data locally to the computer for ease of access,either in a txt file or an excel file,and saving it on a remote MySQL Database
-the start button to disappear and be replaced by a visualize button,which shows what's inside the room,when it started and how much time is left.
-and the most important thing a notification when each one of the rooms is complete,through a pop-up window and if possible through an e-mail.The e-mail will be sent through Zimbra and the company's e-mail.
I would like some pointers on how to make it so that multiple sub VI's can run in parallel behind the main VI and monitor each sub VI.
