Get filename from list of measurement files

[truckryder]

Hi,

I would like to have the user select from a list of measurement files and pass that name and path to the write to measurement file VI.

Ideally, when the data is written to the measurement file the user could add comments.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Joel

Hi Joel,

it's always a good idea to read the help...

Look what we have here. Or here. Or here...

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

Unfortunately I have read these help files, but they are not much "help";-)

I am not that experienced of a user.

I have been working with the dilog express VI, but after trying to get it to work for a couple of hours I broke down and asked.

The only example I can find is an audio file that is as clear as mud.

Thanks,

Joel

Hi Joel,

maybe your questions a too generic?

To select from a list of files you use the FileDialog (either ExpressVI or plain function) and it will give you a (full) path to the selected file.

To save "comments" with data you can use TDMS file functions which allow to set "properties" for channels of data.

To get more help than that you should better describe your problems and it's always a good idea to attach a VI of your tries to solve them...
