Is there a way to include additional data in file header?

Is it possible to include several global variables as part of the file header when writing data with the Write LabView Measurement File VI?

You could write your own header using the standard file VIs and then append to that file using Write LabView Measurement File VI.

Sometimes it is easier to look inside the Express VIs and use them as starting points when you want to do something they are not really set up to do.

Thanks for your answer. What I ended up doing was converting the numbers to text strings, concatenating them, and then placing the string in the comments input of the write data VI.
