I am using an HP34970a and I want to measure temperatures and alarm them how can I do this waith my vi.

I want to take them temperature readings at certain intervals and alarm them when they reach the high limit. I am saving them to a csv file. When the temperature gets to high I want the HP34970a to close the switch to shut down my motor. How do I do this? I have a ttached a vi I tried to write.

With what are you going to shut down the motor?
You must have a relay card in your Agilent 34970 or a separate computer controlled relay.

I see two solutions
1.You can configure the Agilent 34970 to make alarms and pull a relay on a internal relay card to switch off your motor.
2. In your measurement loop you compare measured values with your limits. If there is a alarm you shut down you motor with your switch.
(your attached program is not complete, lots of missing vi's)

Yes I am using the Agilent Alarm Card. What vi's am I missing?

Sorry you missunderstand me. I mean the attached file didn't include all your vi's in the program. You have to use "Save with options"--> "Development distribution" to be sure to include all vi's in a program when you move an application.

I think you should use solution 1, configure the Agilent to check the temperature.
