Hello inuyasha84,

 

This decision depends on a number of factors- how do you want the data grouped?  How much data will there be?  Where is it coming from?  Where do you need to use it?  Is file size an issue?  What is the operating system? Is file access speed or size a concern?  Do you need random access capability?

Hi sorry for the delay.

I gave a look at the link you sent me.

let me reply to some of your questions:

 

how do you want the data grouped? it is the first time that I do this procedure so I have no idea...I mean any kind is the same.

How much data will there be?&Where is it coming from? I want to save data coming from some operation done in labview. for example I want to save strings that say me if the test I'm doing is passed or not... and some numbers/results of the test.

Where do you need to use it? since my VI will be an .exe I want to read the file that I save on other pc-windows.

Is file size an issue? mmm no

What is the operating system? windows

Is file access speed or size a concern? mmm no

Do you need random access capability? no

My idea by the way is to have a report like the one given by teststand. (I can't use teststand )
