scanned values into external file

[nanda28]

Hi all,

I am very new to labview. I am using version 6.0 to acquire some values from Agilent 34970a data acquisition unit.

I have downloaded the drivers to scan the values from the instrument.

my questions are

1) My program scans the instrument every second, how can I change the rate of scanning for example like every minute.

2) How can I write the scanned values of the channels in a separate file ( for future use) like exel or word document etc.,

please someone help me in this regard and have a look at my vi file

thanking you

Kaka

Look in the 34970a driver library, it should have a VI to change the scanning rate.

Look in the ..LabVIEW\examples\file\smplfile.llb library. It will give you examples on writing and reading both binary and text data to files and a data acquisition example to show the whole process.

Cheers,

Mike
