Thank you, Alejandro,
I realized that I didn't express well, sorry.
The word I was looking for was "file type", but let me explain the general problem I encounter:
Within my application, several different tests are performed. The amount of data varies from test to test. Each test is quite independent and as mentioned in my original question, lots of stand-alone values are collected (t1 on test1, r4 after test5...).
For report generation I'd like to have:
- one single file for all tests (new file for new device under test)
- not much work to pick out the data automatically for depicting it in DIAdem (which means clearly structured channel table, already edited channel info...)
- DIAdem closed while performing tests.
I think it's handy to fi
ll channel 1..10 with data from test1, channel 11..20 with test2 and 50..80 with the separate values, for example.
DIAdem File Write.vi-help says I could append data to an existing file, but the number and order of channels had to be correct, otherwise the file might be corrupted. Does this mean that I can't subsequently add channels if the file has been saved during a previous test? Are there other commands to add channel info and data to an existing r64 file + header without opening DIAdem itself?
I hope you understand what my needs are...
Thanks,
Andreas
