A Newbie looking for guidance

[Marzu]

I am trying to teach myself LabVIEW and have ended up creating a huge mess to solve a problem. I am trying to create a program that reads in analog voltage and produces a waveform out to a spreadsheet. 

My first error is that I have a dialog box that continously pops up asking for me direct the path. Coding this part was very challenging for me so I am not sure where I got it wrong. 

I know there are probably several issues here, but if someone could point me into the right direction that would be great!

You opened the file, but you never passed the reference to the function where you actually write to a file.

The write function will pop up a dialog if you have nothing wired into it.
