I'm developing a datacollection program. I use a USB interface to
communicate with my data collection tools and then using the ddl,
write the data into a database.
Now, the sensor gets polled every half second and detects when pieces
go past it. The application then increments a counter in the class
attributed to the sensor.
The actual user interface is getting modified all the time. Right
now, I have to wait for downtime before I can put in modifications to
the interface. What I would like to do is create an application the
would just collect data from the interface and an application the the
user interacts with. This way, whenever I want to make an update I
just shut the front end, the data keeps collecting and no one's the
wiser.
The problem is this: How do I communicate between the two
applications so that when a new job is started the data collection
resets the counters for the data collection? Is this possible?
