I need to start and stop logging based on a digital input event(or analog if necessary), log data for several seconds prior to the event, and have the data file close at the end of event and increment the filename for the next logging event.

I don't know if this can be done with VI Logger or need to use Labview V7.1.

After browsing through the VI Logger User Manual, it looks like the triggering that you are hoping to accomplish is possible. However, incrementing the filename for the next logging event is not going to be possible. VI Logger does exactly what its name tells - logs data. I don't think the automation that you are hoping to accomplish is possible.

For help with setting up your application, if you do choose to stay with VI Logger, make sure to chek out the Getting Started with VI Logger Manual.

Best of luck.
