As a new user of NI-DMM USB-4065 and LabView 2014, I found this very useful.  However, I'm having trouble adding in a condition and I was hoping someone could help.  So currently, I have it set to read the DC Current (amps) and write to an excel spreadsheet.  However, I need to set the condition to write to a spreadsheet until the current reads 0.  I tried putting an "or" boolean in between the NI-DMM/Switch Express and write to measurement file, but I'm getting an error.  I don't think I'm understanding enough to create this condition.  Any help would be appreciated!
