I am running labview 8.2 on Fedora 7 Core. I have also installed it on an earlier version of fedora that was in line with the supported red hat distribution. The problem is that when I try to use the Write Measurement File express VI, the binary file option becomes greyed out after the dialog box opens up. It is present for a second but it is impossible to select. When I have tried bringing over a vi written in Windows (where the binary option was available), the option is also disabled. I am trying to avoid writing the file out in lower level code since I want to use the auto file name generation available under the express VI. If any body knows a workaround or has some sample code that writes out a new file for each measurement with the date and time in the filename let me know.
Thanks
