I have a problem during the collect data and save it in file with the HP8753C

[xav_lgm]

Hello,
I'm using the "HP8753 collect and display data.vi" with the functionnality "save" in file (.txt or xls).
When I'm using it to collect and save data one time to time, I have no problem. But when I would like to use it to collect and save several data with a structure "For", the HP8753 status will become blocked and the collect and save data in file is disable.
The only function "collect data" with a structure "for" is Ok but will become not OK with the option "save" in file. Why, please ?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

It sounds like your instrument is "hanging" or "freezing" when you try to read and save data from it in LabVIEW.

I took a look at the context help for that particular VI. It appears that if you attempt to read data from the HP8753 while it is also taking measurements, it can cause the instrument to hang. This may be the problem you are experiencing.

Look over your program and ensure that the instrument is not trying to take new measurements as you read data from it in LabVIEW. Sequence structures may be useful in this regard. If you are still experiencing problems, however, let me know.
