Hi, new to phidgets, not a good coder! I have a 1046-1 load cell interface. 3 load cells wired up. I am trying to display values from each sensor, one at a time, not simultaneously. Sensor1 is measuring quick impacts, not the best sensor for this but working with what I have. Sensor2 and 3 are fine with slower reads at data interval of 100ms. To not miss readings from sensor1, I have found with endless testing that I need to have data interval at 2ms, and sensor2 and sensor3 disabled. Using node-red to interface and display, so I just disable sensor2/3 in node-red to test that out.
I tried programatically (setDataInterval) as well as statically to change sensor2 and sensor3 to 1000 data interval while sensor1 is being displayed, did not work, sensor1 still missed readings. Sensor1 will only read if sensor2/3 are manually disabled in node-red or physically disconnected.
So I'm assuming i'm flooding the phidget with too much data. What are my options other than getting a 2nd phidget, just for sensor1? I didn't see a way to programatically CLOSE sensor2 and 3.
