How to create 1 file per second

[LuisAlonso]

Hi,

I am new at LabVIEW and I found a VI example similar to my needs. But I need it to create 1 file per second with a date/time stamp going automatically to the name of the files. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,

Luis

Hi Luis,

surely there's a way!

See this:

(FormatDateTimeString is found on the Time functions palette...)

Use this filename with a BuildPath function to create a path for your next file...

Thanks GerdW!

I am still having a problem to make it save automatically without I having to press the OK button, is there a simply way to do it? I updated the attached VI with the GerdW tips

Thanks,

Luis

Hi Luis,

please resave your VI for older LV versions...

Do you still have the file dialog.vi in ?

[LuisAlonso]

I think it will work for older versions now.

I dont have the dialog.vi

Thanks,

Hi Luis,

so now you create one file (and its name) once before the loop. But your goal is to create a new file each second...

I would try to open a new file in the loop when you want to change filenames with a regular interval...
