Problem with data logging

Hello. I'm using LabVIEW 2013 with myRIO 1900. Ive connected a position sensor to my A0 pin on channel C and im taking readings from it. I have to display the acquired readings as a waveform and also log the data to an excel file. I need to acces the logged data once i finish running the VI. Ive tried the Write to Measurements File express, and a lot of other things. Nothing seems to be working. If anyone could suggest a good way to log the data collected as I'll be needing the logging part for future sensor readings too.  

P.S Im not using any DAQ assistant.

Remember that the myRIO is its own computer (running a Linux Real Time).  So when you tell it to save the data, it is trying to save the data on its own harddrive.  I'm pretty sure you want the file to be on your desktop.  So what you really need to do is create a communications system between your computer and the myRIO.  I recommend Network Streams.  So your desktop application can just recieve the waveform data and log it straight to the file.

That clears some things out. I dont mind accesing the data from myRIO flash drive too.. Could you guide me how to do that ?

Basically i just want to be able to see the data I've recorded after i finish taking my measurements.
