Hello GYepes,
Yes what you are asking for is possible with Signal Express. I do have some questions first though:
Will the 3 second segments be one after the other?
If so, why not record the full 20 minutes and then chop the signal up into the segments you want?

Hi Collin,
Yes the 3 seconds will be one after the other. I was hoping that the chopping of my recording might be done as aquisition is occuring. If this is not feasable with Signal Express, I suppose that the question now becomes: with Signal Express how do I chop my 20 min recordings into the segments I want?
Thank you,

Hello GYepes,
Yes this should be possible. If you open up Signal Express, create a new project, and navigate to the Recording Options tab on the main display, you should be able to go to Start Conditions and use this to trigger the start for every 3 seconds. You can do this with the Start date time by adding 3 different Start date times 3 seconds apart from each other (not sure how accurate this would be). There is another way using Stop Conditions where you can set the duration to 3 seconds after start. It is also possible to do this using Signal Triggers from another device. Are you using any data acquisition devices? If so, you can use one to send a start/stop trigger to signal the start or stop of your recording. By placing the triggers 3 seconds apart, you can accomplish what you are trying to do using Events under Recording Options. Any of these methods should work for what you are trying to do and, if not, you can easily export the whole recording to Excel and then chop it up manually which shouldn't be too difficult.

Hi Collin,
I tried your second suggestion, and it work really well. Thank you! Just a quick add on question: once I have all of my 3 second logs, how can I export all the logs at once directly into excel?
Thank you for all your help!

Hi GYepes,
If all of your recordings are appearing in the same log or you can see all three in the display view, you should be able to either, from display view, click the Export To >> Microsoft Excel, or go to File >> Export >> Channel View to Excel. If all your recordings are part of the same log, they will appear as three separate pages in Excel, if they are not then you will unfortunately have to export all of them individually. If you are looking for a custom report to be generated from your recording than if you have LabVIEW, I can guide you through how we can make a custom report.
Thanks!

Hi Collin,
Unfortunately I do not have LabVIEW. I suppose I will have to make due with your recomendations.
Thank you for your time and help.

Hi Collin,
As a final bit of curiosity, do you know whether it is possible in Signal Express to edit recordings (such as cutting and pasting parts of recording in and out)? My interest would be in "Cutting out" large artifacts that are not processed out by filters.
Thank you,
GYepes
