Hi,
By what i can get out from your question,i think you want to save some data everytime you run a vi ,do you want to save this data in a text file or XL format ,any format is fine all you have to do is in the save option of file you wil have to rename the file name,i mean if for the first time you have a path like say c:/testdata/trial1.xls then for the next you will have to give a path of c:/testdata/trial2.xls and so on so this will solve your problem.

Hi Thandal,

From your post it appears that you want to save the generated data at each run of the VI into a different file.

I am attaching a snapshot of a VI that saves the data generated at each run of the VI into different files named as Trial0, Trial1, Trial2 and so on.

If this does not resolve the issue or if I amnot understanding the problem correctly, please respond to this post with your questions/comments.
