VI Logger Lite automatic save

[rattofest]

Hello,

I am using VI Logger Lite to log an analog voltage over an extended period of several days. For the security of my data, I was wondering if there is a way fo configure VI Logger to automatically save data periodically, say every hour or so.

Or would it be easier to repeat the same task every hour? If this is so, how can I configure VI Logger Lite to repeat the task?

Thanks.

Hi,

VI Logger is software that is intended for very basic applications, so you are not going to be able to periodically save data. You could create a set of different tasks where one task starts after the previous task ends, but you will need to configure that manually.

If you use LabVIEW, then you can use the Write to LabVIEW Measurement File Express VI. This will allow you to append data to an existing file at periodic intervals or to simply create a new file at those intervals. Also, with the existing example programs, this application would require very little programming and you can try LabVIEW 8.0 free for 30 days: LabVIEW 8 Evaluation Software Download.
