I am new to labview and have a problem with outputting to an external file I am using LabView to gather data on various tanks in a system. The tanks have a sensor that sense what the level of the volume in them is. These sensors are to be checked every 5 seconds and an output file needs to be updated with the new level of each tank. This program needs to monitor the tanks and constantly output the levels to a text file (or any other output system that I decide upon). The user of my system wants to be able to at anytime view what is currently in the text file so far. For example this would be what they need to see after 20. seconds tine value1 value2 0 2 3 5 2 4 10 3 4 15 2 4 20 5 1 The client wants to be able to open the text file at anytime and see what has happened so far. I can get my data to be outputted to a table inside of labview but am having trouble outputting to a text file, how would I go about doing this? Note: the program will be constantly running. Thanks for the help.
