Write to measurement file with dynamic file name

Is it possible to dynamically change the name of the output files created by the "Write to Measurement File" express vi?  E.g. adding the frequency that the measurement was made at to the output name?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

There's Filename input on this express VI. You can manipulate file name inside block diagram and input to it.

...and the only away to modify the block diagram of an express VI is to convert it to a normal VI by right clicking on it and saying to open its front panel. Remember that this conversion only goes one way. You can't turn it back into an express VI.

Mike, I think you misunderstood the previous post.  The express VI itself has a file input.  You can create the file name to be whatever you want and wire it into that input.
