Using a Write to Measurement File Vi in LabVIEW 2018.

[SparkBeetle]

To LabVIEW discussion board:

Is there a simple way to document integers and store them into an excel spreadsheet using Write to Measurement FIle Vi?

Fig 1. Here is where I put the Vi, it is intended to log data after an iteration has stopped.

Thank you.

Hi Beetle,

when does that error message pop up?

Do you have the target file opened in Excel while trying to save data to it?

Why don't you just use WriteDelimitedFile instead (with append? set to TRUE)?

To GerdW:

It worked! The output looked like the following, and I can manipulate it in excel.

This feature saves me time and effort on data logging.
