Multiple instances - Picolog 1216
Hi,
I'm fairly new to Picolog and have run into a little problem.
I am trying to set up multiple instances of Picolog Recorder in version 5 using the instructions in section 3.13 of the user manual. I have successfully done that with five TC-08's and created the batch file to open the individual settings files consecutively but I have three ADC-1216 loggers and I can't seem to get it working with them.
One of the instances opens fine but then the other two return the error 'Unit with serial'HT398/xxx' missing and no spare PicoLog1216 units attached' then when the recorder opens the channels show as disconnected.
I have three settings files and any single logger can open any single settings file without a problem - the files and the loggers are OK. Any second instance I try to open returns the error, even manually through the Run window. It's as if the first instance uses the loggers so that the other two instances cannot find them. I also open another TC-08 using the same batch file and this always opens, even with the other failures - it's an ADC-1216-specific problem. I tried playing with a magic delay fairy, increasing the timeout in the batch file to various values up to 60 s. Didn't work, and I'm out of ideas now.
Any help would be great - I don't want to have 40 sensors on one plot as they're all showing similar values.
