Create a new csv file for each measurement?

[ylflex]

Dear community,

I'm using a DMM+Switch setup (using NI example:  Switch - Scanning with a DMM - Handshaking (NI-SWITCH) .vi)

I would like to save a NEW csv file for each measuremnt (each item in the scan list). Is there a way to do that? I searched the forum but most topics are how to load multiple csv files. 

How do I set up the file name in this case? I want each csv file contains numbering like 101, 102, 103...but I cannot use %s or %d in the file path control box.

Thank you!

Sure you can.  You use %d in a format into string, then build that into a file path.

For more help, attach the VI you have now so we can better guide you how to implement the changes.

Hi thanks for confirming %d should work. I attach some screenshots here. Where should I put %d in the path? This VI is producing 4 values from DMM, say I want to create one csv file for each measurement. How do I do that?

Sample csv could be:

1.csv

|number 1|80|

2.csv

|number 2|90|

3.csv

...

4.csv

...

Also, how do I get the current route in the scan list, please?

Thank you,

Yanshu

As has been said before:

I don't see any FormatIntoString function in your images:

Instead I see a whole bunch of Rube-Goldberg:

NEVER use ArrayToCluster followed by Unbundle when you can use a plain IndexArray function.

You don't need to call NumToFloat several times as it can handle an array as well!

That "separator" control should be a string constant…

Next time please post real code instead of images of code…

Thanks a lot for this!
