How do I save my lab data to a file?

[yangmeng]

How do I save my lab data to a file？ In Measurement & Automation Explorer, I have connected NI devices and obtained experimental data through 'NI-DAQm Task' measurements, how do I save the data? By using the export options in the top right corner of the figure, option 1 is to copy to pasteboard, but the data format is not correct; option 2 is to export data to Excel, but I can't find the path where the file is located; option 3 is to export data to DIAdem, but the exported data is not the same as the data in the software? Is there a more efficient and convenient way to save the data? Or where should I look for the file exported through optin 2? I tried the path where the software is located and did not find the file.

Hi yangmeng, 

The first you should understand ether you can save data directly from MAX or not. The answer is NO. The test panels in MAX are designed to verify expected or troubleshoot unexpected behavior.

If your test panels take advantage of any MAX configuration settings such as tasks, channels, and scales, you can export these settings to LabVIEW and then use File I/O VIs to save the data to a log file.

Here is one of the examples how to save data with LabVIEW.
