Comunicating to multiple SPI devices

Archive

I thought about this today and would like your input please.

Say i have 4 SPI devices, each of which uses a different clock rate and SPI mode.
For clarity sake, here are the devices.

#1) Temp sensor (mode 0)
#2) a/d converter (mode 1)
#3) Port Replacement Unit (mode 2)
#4) Oxygen Sensor (mode 3)

what is unclear to me is if .netmf handles the following situation.

I need to read the a/d converter 10,000 times in a loop. But while doing that i get an event that i need to read the PRU. when i want to read it, the SPI will be set up for the a/d converter, do i need to change the SPI parameters to talk to it while putting the a/d converter thread on hold, and when done put the SPI parameters back ?

In a nut shell, if having events happen that need to communicate to certain SPI devices do i need to keep track of the SPI parameters, or does .netmf handle that when i set up the device ?

Yes, you create multiple SPI.Configuration instances reflecting the variations.
then you will use Config property of the SPI class to switch the bus for communication with associated device.
