Agreed! This is just one of the reasons we decided to stick to 8.0.1

I agree with Eugen, XML's are very simple to use and are very effective with all the data types.

Hi. I have a newbie programming question. I need to build a test vi. The vi reads in two variables via USB DAQ card. The variables are strain and position. The test needs to function as follows: Set strain to 50 lbs then hold for 30s. Increase strain to 290 lbs then hold for 60s. The strains are set manually with a car jack so this is not a feedback control system. I only need to programatically check the that strain on the loadcell is within range and plot vs. time.

My question is, should I just build this thing in a single while loop? If so how should I keep track of the times at each strain?

You could put a sequence structure inside you while if there is a set order to your test program. If you want to use the stacked sequence structure, you can right click on the border and select 'add sequence local' to carry values from one sequence to another.
