The invention discloses a method for measuring a weft yarn tension of a polyester weaving machine based on multithreading, which is characterized in that the weft yarn tension is on-line measured and real-time displayed by using a multithreading technique and a speedy acquisition system. A data speedy acquisition system is used. A system hardware module comprises a sensor, a signal regulator, an A/D converter, a micro controller chip, a USB interface chip, a FIFO memorizer and a clock signal circuit, and the like. The multithreading technique comprises a data acquisition threading and a user interface threading. In the weaving process of the weaving machine, as shooting-in, the data acquisition threading has a higher priority working threading in order to ensure the data acquisition for high-capacity continuous data. When the weaving machine is not shooting-in, the user interface threading will recover the running state immediately and rapidly treat the data, such as drawing a tension curve in a screen window, saving, and the like. The method takes full advantage of the weaving machine, realizes the on-line measurement for the weft yarn tension and the real-time display for the tension curve, has concise outlook, realizes high degree of automation, and promotes the weaving quality of the texture.
