Logging Events

[FredFred]

Hello,

My application is to test a piece of equipment for more than 5 hours. I would like to know is there a way to log events as they are being detected by the system (meaning vi). The events will be generated by an excel file automatically and manually by an operator. I am still working on the test vi, hence there is no rush for this. But as i am writing it i want to take into account the event logging.

This is my vi:

I output data through a DAQ to a equipment.
I then receive data from the eqipment to do selected action.

I want to check the functionality of the equipment and make sure that i receive the correct data. If i recive the correct data move on, else log and continue.

Thanks In Advance,
FredFred

There is a nice example under "Optimizing applications>Synchronizing Tasks>Queue Message logging". This will do what you want except storing to file.
