grab one data point

[Ell3n]

Hello,

I am writing a labVIEW program that is measuring strain as well as load.  I have the DAQ Assistant set up within a while loop and I condition the signal first, then extract a portion of the signal and then collect that portion of the data before I take the measurement readings.  I need to be able to tare the data as well as grab only one data point at a time from each instrument when I want to grab the data.  

Eventually I also need to write the information to an excel file.

Is a while loop the way I should be tackling this?

Thanks-!

P.S. I'm using LabVIEW 10

For continuous data acquisition you use while loop. so yes, you are on the right track. Is that all you are asking?
