Write to Measurement File does not pass my string name along

[jbledlow]

Is there a reason you can't set the attributes prior to merging? I have included a screenshot of what I mean.  It's maybe not very elegant, but might accomplish what you want.

 ML927 had a point about the "write to measurement file". I ended up using the shift register as i did not want to cascade 13 set attributes. It turned out that the problem stemmed from using "Binary with XML Header(TDM)". It would seem that this file format has problems with large data collection. I instead chose "Binary(TDMS), and it works just fine. Frankly, i can't even tell the difference between the two formats.

I hope this helps anyone in the future that may run into this problem and thank you all for all the quick responses.

I think the problem with the TDM file is that it is not meant to be used in "streaming" applications. If your write to it continuously with a very small dt between each iteration you may have problems. TDMS is purposedly existing for high speed data streaming.

All of this is just a guess of course.
