How to obtain measurements from multiple identical instruments in parallel

Hi,

 

I have 3 transducers connected in a RS-485 multi-drop network using a USB to serial converter. I would like to be able to obtain measurements from these transducers quickly (upwards of 50 Hz) and with each individual measurement having minimal time difference from the others.

 

Currently I am using the timed loop structure with a sequence inside to write a query to each instrument, and then another timed loop with a sequence inside to read the responses. This works but is terribly slow and currently only talks to two transducers.

 

I am new to labview (and these kinds of problems in general) but if anyone can offer some ideas of how to better approach this problem, I would be extremely grateful!

 

Thanks in advance.
