Can I use scan interface mode when collecting data from cRIO? How do I display the continuously collected data on a waveform graph?

There's your problem, I imagine.  The path most likely needs to be local to the cRIO

I was a little off with that last reply.  You can put whatever path you want, but the cRIO will turn it into a path on the cRIO, it won't actually save it to that path on your host machine.

I just successfully ran code with a Write to Measurement File on my cRIO 9025.  The file was configured in the node for C:\TestData\test.lvm.  The code is smart enough to automatically convert that to /c/TestData/test.lvm on the cRIO.

I think your problem is that you're looking for the file on your desktop, since that is the path that you entered.  If you go to ftp://cRIO.ip.address, I think you will find that the code has generated a file path that mirrors the path to your desktop, only it will be on the cRIO.  (I have just confirmed this on my 9025)

The first red arrow shows that I have ftp'd into my cRIO

The second red arrow shows that my code has generated /c/TestData and the .lvm file within

The third red arrow is the path to "my desktop" that the code generated, when i selected my desktop in the Write to Measurement File vi

Awesome!  Thanks, Tim!  This answer has solved my problem!
