Save state machine data after each iteration then write all data at once

Hi,

No Problem.  You can use the RefNum as I have put below.  I was thinking your code had a path reference, not a file refnum.  This snippet could be a SubVI in a case, just pass in the RefNum (and probably put in the error line too).

The example (from the link) opens and closes a file in order to get a file reference.  There are other ways to get a file reference, FWIW.

Here is another example, sorry only an image 🙂    You'll notice the report reference passed to all the SubVI's.  May of the SubVI's are report VI's that were modified and saved as a different name.  I found that I needed different formatting, etc... so I wired my own SubVI's based on the standard ones.   Pay no attention to the erase error VI, LOL.

The start of the chain is a lot of parsing and using labels in excel to build headers.  The "add table" is buried in a SubVI.  I did the block diagram clean up.

Thank you so much Mark!
