Mike,

You could do any of the options you listed. I think the simplest would be to use the multiplexer into the logomatic card. It depends on how you want to log and keep the time. If you want real time of day information logged, then you need a clock. That is why I see you needing another processor. You will need to set the clock...or you could set up a cheap GPS receiver to get the time of day. That is a simple serial data stream that would have TOD information and be very precise. Sparkfun has several modules that could do that.

Yes, my application has a website that shows the real time data and the data is also logged to the MicroSD card. The maxiweb board is a PIC, which is just like programming the old IFI controller...it even uses MPLAB. If you want the URL PM me and I will forward it to you. I don't really want to post it here on a public site. It might be overkill for your project since it supports a http server and network connections. I use several conductive rods set to different depth to indicate water level.

You should be OK programming. If you can do the IFI and the cRIO then you can do any of the kits mentioned in this thread.
