Help Recording and Using Data From Oscilloscope

I am tasked with using a function generator to send a voltage across a diode and measure the voltage of the diode with an oscilloscope and then use this data to plot current versus voltage then record a second diode.

 

I have the part of changing the voltage on the function generator and reading the voltage on the oscilloscope but I cannot figure out how to record the data (onto any file) and read the data back to use for a plot or for a formula. I've tried messing around with write to measurement file but don't understand it and am not sure if recording on Excel would be better.

 

Attached is what I have so far. Please help.

I would just use Format Into String to create a tab delimited text (Set Voltage and then measurement) and use Write To Text File to write that string.  Of course, you need to use the Open/Create/Replace File before your loop and Close File after your loop.

Is there any way you could show me? I'm not too well versed in this based off of the class I'm in and I'm not getting help from my prof.

I've somewhat figured out that I don't need to save the data to a file but instead I can use the data directly. The problem I face now is plotting. I've made some progress; can anyone help?
