[HunterSeeker]

Overview

This VI will automatically generate file names, and write a specified number or lines then, create a new file a continue writing.

Description

We can think of this VI in 3 sections, Build File Path, Write Header, Write Data. You can easily configure this example to work with DAQmx, just put the DAQmx read where the random number (dice) VI is.

The front panel "File Path String" should include the file name but not the extension.

IE: Fron Panel String = "C:\My LabVIEW\MyData"

This VI will build file paths of MyData1.csv, MyData2.csv, MyData3.csv...

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

2. Run the VI.
3. Check the CSV files
