location to save file

I have attached an LV in 6.0. In the front panel I cannot insert the file in the "please choose location to save file" icon. How do I choose the location to save file. Also how to remove/repair the select tunnel error.

You're trying to set the path up incorrectly. What you need to do is delete the Path property node and the reference control connected to it, then right click on the Path terminal of the Write to Spreadsheet.vi and create a control. The Control you currently have is a reference value to a non existant path control.

As for the tunnel error, since you are only writing values in the one case, just move the Write to Spreadsheet.vi and it's new control inside the Readings case. If you leave it where it is, you'll get a file writting everytime the VI runs, even if there's no readings to record. If you did want it to run everytime, then would need to wire something to the tunnel from each case of the Case Structure so it has values to write.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
