Hello community, I am a student who is still learning LabVIEW. I am working on a project that can acquire voltage and current data from PMSM motor using NI 9244 and NI 9227 DAQ. And write the data I acquired into a .txt file. I use two while loop with queue. The way program works is suppose to be setting the DAQ physical channel, set the sample rate and Numbers of Samples. Noted that I want the sample rate to be 25000 and the NumOfSample to be 2000. Then I run the program, it should save the acquired data at the rate of 25000 per second right? However, in reality when I go check the saved data, the amount of data were way less than 25000 per second, like the figure indicates down below. Only 617 data were saved to the txt file during a 40 seconds duration. I checked the program by adding two indicators to the iteration of the while loop. When finishing the program the numbers of two indicators are the same (i.e. the while loops are working in sync.) Noted that to make the program work you need to put the .vi program file into a file and create another file called "data." Can anyone tell me where I did wrong and how to correct the program. Thank you for reading and responding to my post.

You probably still convert the array to a scalar somehow. You have to save the entire array! The simplest is to convert all the data to a 2D array and then convert it to a string to write the entire array to the file. Look at the following code and try to understand the various data types (use the probe on the wires!):

Hi Billy, @Billy90 wrote: I tried using Get Wfm Data this morning, but it’s still logging data with the while loop. I checked the iterations of the while loop and the txt files. When the loop runs for 10 times, it shows 10 lines of data in the txt loop, which is still far from 25000/sec! Here you convert your waveforms into scalar values: Do you see those red coercion dots? They are there for a reason! Btw. I replaced those 6 ExpressVI nodes you used to index waveforms from your waveform arrays: why don't you use IndexArray when you want to index array elements??? Why don't you use a shift register for the file reference? No need to set the file position in each iteration! When you want to save full waveforms I recommend to use TDMS functions…

Actual data acquisition rate way less than sample rate I set.

Solved!

Sorry for the late response, I just tried it today and it worked. Thanks a lot for the help here.
