Thanks for that Kevin. That's pretty much what I came up with as well. The only addition I am making is that, to make sure all of the additional selection information is grouped correctly, and to keep away from multiple forms is to use the x.y.z naming method to reference every thing, so:
A subsystem check box will just have the name of the subsystem (They ar all unique), the timestamp selection for each subsytem will have the name subsytem.timestamp, and then the siganls will be subsystem.signalname, as all signal names within a sub system will be unique as well. With this aproach, I can have just one VO helper, and then this can load a selection of subsytem VOs prior to passing them deeper into the business logic or out to the view.
