It would really help when you would show an image of what you are talking about!

Which "Data Logging" item are you talking about?

Which menu bar are you talking about?

What is an "Operating tag"?

Hi, You need to insert the vi "write to measurement file" and link it to your signal for logging. In your control panel, look under file i/o menu for the file. After that, drag the icon into your control loop. Link up your signal to be view or log into the signal input of the "write to measurement file"icon. Create a control button to the enable input of the icon. Double click on the icon to set the log file type and destination of the logging file. Compile your whole vi into the exe file. Run exe and test it out.

For more info, search for TDMS in labview help or look for the below vi.

I attached an image file what shows I am talking.

Because this is vi which I made, it shows Data Logging is active.

But exe file after built, Data Logging becomes gray out.
