index multifile write

Hi!
 
I am writing the data at four different stages in processing and need to do at least 25 tests for statistical purposes. 
I can change all the file names by hand but I'm hoping for a better way. 
 
I tried multifiles but this broke each single file into 62 kB chunks - giving as many as ten files where there was originally one. 
This is just too many files to deal with. 
 
Is there any way to automatically index a write file name (say go from "file_00" to :"file_01") when the program is started and keep it a single file? 
 
Thanks,
 
Bob

Yes, of course.... just not well documented.

Configure the Write Data module MultiFile settings to use both MultiFile and Chain File name series.
Change the "new file when" value to 0.

The only time the file number will change is when you stop/start, or direct it to do so via an Action module (Next File action).
