Data logging in custom format

[scofield]

Hi,

I am new to forums and also to VeriStand. Even I have very similar requirement wherein I need log the data of various parameters into TSV format with a customizable column headers and some other info.

Before the data logging should start, user or operator should also be able to select what all parameters he wants to log.

Now I am not able to figure it out how to start with.

Somebody please help.

Few other questions are:

1. Is it possible to have a button on the GUI of VeriStand (Front Panel), which will allow to Start/Pause the data logging (in custom format as specified above)?

2. Can datalogging be done without using Stimulus Profiles? I mean directly from the VeriStand GUI.

You need to create workspace object, http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14421/en, for operator interface to customize the logging, and create custom device, http://www.ni.com/white-paper/9348/en, to do such logging task.
