I'm still making the transistion from PLC to Labview programming, so I'm finding some of the basic tasks in PLC are totally foreign to me in LV. Using an existing program in 8.2.1, average and peak running current is collected per cycle, displayed on a waveform chart, and then sent to a Csv file. What I would like to do is log average running current (not the peaks, or stall, or in-rush) that is collected in each direction of the test sequence (Up, Down), and then have it as part of the file saved at every cycle. Note that the current is already collected and displayed, but what's stumping me is adding the logic to filter out when the data ia collected, and average it out. Likely a basic task, but any suggestions will be appreciated.

Depending on the testing enviroment I want the operator to be able to chose where collected data is stored on a PC hard drive. In the existing logic that I need to modify the file is saved to one .txt file. I'd like to change this to 4-5 that the operator can chose from via a pull-down menu. Any ideas?
