Write measurement data to text file every 10 seconds for duration of 2 seconds, creating a new file each time.

[DsX]

Greetings,

I am working on a data acquisition application that runs continuously and needs to log data at 10 second intervals for a duration of 2 seconds.

On every logging interval I have to create a new file that contains a log number in the filename (Test_1.txt, Test_2.txt, ...);

and add current time and date to the file header.

My question is how can I do this with what I have so far?

The attached vi is a concept of what I am trying to accomplish. The original application also has the DAQmx read functions in the surrounding while loop,

and some data manipulation. Outside the main loop I create and start DAQmx tasks.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Matej
