What is the screen shot showing that is related to your problem?
What exactly do you want to write to the file? Binary value? ASCII Number?

Hi Martin88,

Please use the state machine architecture as below.

You should have atleast four states; initialise, acquire, log and stop.

When you will press stop, the logging state will execute first ensuring the data is logged and finally the stop state to stop the program.

Hi,

sorry about the post. I would like to implement a event counter what i reallized with a shift register it works fine. 

In the end of the recording i would like to write the last value of the counter, what would be a ASCII number, into a txt file. 

The text-file should look like this with two columns:

Event_x: counter

Event_1: 5

Event_2: 6

Event_3: 1

Event_4: 0

thanks 

Martin
