save new mat file: MATLAB

[IBAHKA]

Hello,
I am not able to save a new MATLAB file (ie. create a file) from LabVIEW . This is possible in MATLAB by using the command: save(filename, 'variable'). When I do this in LabVIEW for a new file, I get a message saying that the file does not exist. This does not happen in MATLAB. How do I get around this? In my program I need to create many mat files with data collected while LABVEIW is running.

I would appreciate any incite in this matter,
Thanks,
Ivanka

Hi Ivanka,

If you are wanting to use this data in Matlab, you might want to follow the KB linked below:

Can I Import Data from MATLAB to LabVIEW or Vice Versa?

Sure,
Actually, I found that my problem was that I was executing the line

load (file, 'results')

when the file didn't exist! I realised that you cannot load non-existing files, but you can save to new files. So I just deleted that line and everything worked!
