Hi,
I am new to multithreading, and I am considering implementing multithreading in my code.
I am using MDI application with two child forms. On first child form I have all the controls and user interface (ChildForm1).
Second child form is used for data analisys and drawing graphs (ChildForm2).
ChildForm1 implements:
1) serial port communication (communication with microprocessor on PCB board)
2) data acquisition from intrument connected to computer (LAN) (up to 200ms for each data acquisition)
3) data processing and controls
Currently I am using timer control to comminicate over serial port (10 times per second - checking the conditions), triggering
data acquisition (when conditions are met) and finaly processing data and drawing graphs on another child form (real time).
As I use single thread, I am experiencing some delays (application not running smoothly as it waits for comm process and data processing).
What would be the right approach in setting multithread application ?
