write data to a file

[Maître]

I am continuously acquiring data from a load cell and I need to save this data to a file. What is the best way to do this?

Thank you

You haveseveral options: write to spreadsheet file.vi, if you have the toolkit software, you can automate writing the data to excel using the easy vis or you can automate it by using the activeX controls for excel, you can use a datalog file or write to text file.

Probably the easiest is to use the write to spreadsheet file.vi in the File I/O

Hello,

To write data in a file, you are also other possibilities. You can use ASCII, Binary or Datalog file.
ASCII:     Advantage:      Data are available to other users or applications
                   Disadvange:     the– numeric precision should not be important because each digit tahe one byte on the disk
Binary:    Advantage:      the place on the disk, the numeric precision
              Disadvantage:  you should reminder how you store the data
Datalog:                        to store arrays of clusters in a binary representation

Best regard
