Create new file of wave amplitudes upon request

[kelOb]

Hi There,

i wonder if anyone might be able to help me here. Basically I have a vi (attached) that generates uniform noise. When I go over a threshold I want a dialog box to appear that asks the user if they want to create a new array/database/tdms file in a specified folder with a name the user can supply. 

so e.g:

the amplitude goes above 5.

prompts user if they want to create a new tdms file with amplitude details

they can input name of file and click ok

new tdms file with amplitudes saved with chosen name

kind regards,

Kelly

You just need to make a new subVI for the data input.  I would make this subVI contain just an event structure to look for the OK or Cancel buttons being pressed and react accordingly.  Be sure to change the VI properties->Window Appearance to be Dialog.
