Save as

[kim515]

Dear all,

I am doing a project which need to record some datas from a machine. I have set a Labview program to get data and make a Auto-save function.
the farmat of the datas are string. When the datas are prepared to save into the .txt / Excel file, the Labview called me to locate the saving address for the file.
I want to set a Automatic saving for the datas but I don't know the reason that why the program call me to set the save file location at each time.

The attachment is the program of the Auto-saving,
I have linked the address for it but it still called me to locate the address for the file.

Please help me solve this problem and teach me some method to program it.

Thank you

KIM

Try to wire the path diagram constant directly to the "open" function.

What LabVIEW version is this?

Hi Kim,

and please:
Create real JPEG-pictures instead of just renaming a BMP file! Or (even better) use PNG for block diagrams!
(Yesterday I only received less than 20kb/s from NI, so your picture needs ~10s to load. Using PNG it will have a size of <10kB, allowing to load in <1s!)

You have to be a bit more specific. Can you attach your VI instead of a picture?

Have you also removed that other item (file dialog?)
