Independent instruments through same USB port

$

Hello there,

 

I want to control two different instruments through Labview: one applies pressure to it's outputs, the other, independent from the first, measures the flow rate of the outputs. I want to implement the control for both in the same VI and I'll probably be using some form or other of producer/consumer architecture for this. But, through a USB hub, they're both connected to the same USB port on the computer. My idea was to use 2 separate producer/consumer structures to have independent control over both, but is this advisable in this configuration or should I rather use a single consumer for both?

 

(Also, I wasn't sure if this is the right section for this, excuse me if I'm wrong.)

 

Have a nice day.

 

Edit: I probably won't need a producer/consumer architecture for the measurement instrument, but I'd still like to know your opinion on this.
