How to increment a tdms file name

[Nico_AT]

Hello,

 I have a vi which register some data in a tdms file. So i 'm using open tdms file and write in tdms file. Furthermore I want increment the name of the file. The user has to write the name of the file, for instance if the file is named test I want the next file is called test1, test2, etc. Now if I forget to change the file, it is automatically replace and I lose all my saved data.

Can you help me to get an easy method to register the data in file with name incremented automatically please.

Thank you

Personally, I'm not crazy about Express VI's, but there is an express VI called "Write to measurement file".  You can configure this to write to a TDMS and auto increment the file name.

Hi Nico_AT

Perhaps is this what your're looking for? The VI just tries to start the File. Is there is no error it will close it and start the next one and so on.
