Button Press Event Record to Data File using LabVIEW

[JeffL]

Overview

Use this VI to acquire a signal from a DAQ device, log signal in an ASCI file and detect and log if a button is pressed.

Description

This VI records a button press event to a log file (in this case, a simple text file) in line with the the data being captured. The data somewhat simulate what you get when using a Write To Measurement File Express VI in that it records the timestamps and other metadata in the process at the beginning of each iteration.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
• DAQ device

 
Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run VI
2. Press Ok button
3. Stop the VI
4. Look at example.txt in the VI directory
