reduce samples from a table

[Labviewuser3]

i have a simulate signal connected to a build table. the amount of samples (rows) is very high, is there a way to reduce this because it is excessive and slows down the computer.

thanks

Have you tried reducing the Samples per second (Hz) in the Timing section of the Simulate Signal setup?

i tried that and it didnt work. but it worked today.. in my defence it was a firday afternoon!

thanks

also is it possible to have higher samples without slowing down the computer? the max imum amount of time is only a few seconds

ultimatly i want to save the data like a chart recorder.wich may take up to 1 hour

Are you running this in a loop without any delay?  That'll eat up your CPU regardless of the Express VI settings.  Even a 1mS Wait (ms) inside your loop will keep the VI from slowing your computer.
