Write Dynamic Data To Measurement File

[Michael.D]

Good morning, 

I am using an acoustic actuator to send a sinusoidal signal through an aluminum plate which is then received by a different acoustic sensor. This is a typical acoustic pitch-catch. I would like to write the sent and received signals to an excel spreadsheet so that I can compare the two. However, I am not able to save either of the signals to any spreadsheet. 

Could someone take a look at my VI and determine the problem and a possible solution? 

Thanks, 

Mike

It worked fine for me. When I run it, it asks for the file name. I just type in "test" and press ok. The output file has 2 pairs of time and amplitude, for 4 columns total. Can you explain in detail what happens when you run it?

I ran the file once and I was prompted for a filename. I typed in 'test12' and clicked okay. Then I stopped running the vi and I then went to the folder where I saved my 'test12' file. Yet, there was no file saved in the folder. I am not sure why I cannot find the file. Does the version of labview matter? 

[Gregory]

LV Version probably doesn't matter. Are you stopping the VI with the "stop" button you have on the front panel, or with the abort button? What does "Filename Out" say?

Actually I bet the problem is with DAQ Assistant2. You are trying to read 3 million points and Excel is limited to ~1 million columns.

I will adjust things and see if the number of points makes a difference.
