testing and then saving

[rvleadmal]

I am developing a VI in Labview6 based off of the Cont Acq&Graph(Buffered) example to record a specified length voice sample. I want the VI to save the data to a spreadsheet file when the user presses a record button, based on what he sees on the graph, or save automatically when a "good" sample of the specified length has been read. So basically, if I could figure out a way to have two graphs, one that shows what AI Read currently read and one that is offset by the specified time, I could make it work. Is there a way to do this or is there another alternative?

Yes! What you need to do is save the waveform to a file (use the WAVEFORM export to spreadsheet). Now wire one graph to the input the Write file node, and another graph to the Read file node. You can put the read file into a case structure which activates when you push the test button.

Perhaps an oversimplification, but should get you started!

Nice idea, by the way!
