Recovery of DAQ Assistant acquired data

[KumarVarun]

I have given a wrong path for a file to save DAQ acquired data. Once the acquisition gets completed LabVIEW didn't find the file ask for continue or stop. I clicked continue and VI stopped. I am wondering if I can recover the saved data.

Hi Kumar,

so you saved your data to a "wrong" path. Why don't you look for this "wrong" path?

When you don't remember this path: use the search feature of the Windows Explorer to find your file.

(I hope you didn't choose a file path, where you don't have access rights to save data. In this case the error handling in your VI wasn't implemented correctly.)

Dear Knight,

Thanks for your reply. The "wrong" path doesn't exist, that's why VI said, "LabVIEW couldn't find the specified path". Probably error handling was not implemented correctly. Is there any way to recover the data? it was a 15 hour of continuous run data.

Hi Kumar,

so you saved data to a "non-existing" file path?

If the path does not exist, then you will not find your data…

Recommendation: implement some error handling to warn you of such errors!
