CAN reliability

Here's the screenshots. My first post has the basic concept.

I'm using a queue to ensure that the logging process does not slow down the main loop.
The semaphore is opened at the beginning because it is used in the CAN Jaguar VIs to prevent conflicts on the RS232 bus.


This is just a method of filtering out the elements from the array. Only device numbers corresponding to TRUE elements in the boolean array are extracted.


Here's where the message is added to the queue. Where I interleave the numbers with the commas, I should change to "array to spreadsheet string".
If the array of device numbers is empty, nothing is added to the queue.


Here's the actual logging VI. I use the "preview element" function to force the VI to wait until there is an element in the queue, and then it flushes it into an array. The "write to text file" function automatically puts a line return after each element in the array. The reason it opens and closes the file every time is this ensures the write is actually saved to file at that time. (The cRIO caches the writes into large sections, on the scale of 8 or 16KB)
