I wrote a LabVIEW program for measuring the temperatures for the three thermocouples. The data’s is being saved on the screen. The LABVIEW should run for a day. But I’d like to see the data’s in the meanwhile. For example after 1 hour I need to open the data’s from the notepad in the other program such as MATLAB.
But how can I change the LABVIEW in order to see the data’s while it is reading !

A screen is not permanent and thus unsuitable for saving data. Do you also stream it to disk?
If the data in in an array indicator, graph, or table (or similar), you can right-click the control and export to (clipboard, table, excel). Try it!

I'd advise doing a producer consumer loop with a Message(string) and the Data (variant). Have your data writing to the disk and then when you want to open your file, accumulate the data using queues and do a save as function somewhere else and then when it's done, start writing data back to the original file location.
You won't see on-the-fly results but it might just work for what your wanting to do.
Edit: Opps - I didn't see altenbach's response. That my work too!

Ugh, a pet peeve of mine. "Data" is already plural! It's the plural of "datum". There's no such thing as "datas".
