user prompt with write to measurement file VI

Solved!

Why not just use Current VI's Path and Build Path to create the path you want to list?  You should really be using relative paths anyways.

Hello Crossrulz,

I think I finally managed to make my VI do what I wanted: 

Attached is the block diagram. 

So everytime I run the VI a window pops up allowing me to save  the file. at 3 different locations, allocated using 3 file dialog VI's (Is that the correct way to do it??)

The file name and file path for individual Write to measurement VI's are selected prior to the running of the code. 

I realized, once you typed in the File name, every time I run the VI, the file dialog and the write to measurement automatically assign the "next avaialble filename" 

for the new file keeping my number intact. 

The, list folder works as well. I linked it to the file path associated with the desired file dialog. 

I was wondering if there is anything wrong or if I am missing something

Thank You 

 

 

Thank You

Is the VI behaving as desired?  Your approach seems fine.

Yes it is. 

I went on to eliminate the file dialog option and used build path instead, which made it cleaner. 

SP.
