data acquisition time not continuous, but starting over and over again


Hi,

My data acquisition time is not continuous but loops over and over again.  Could someone please take a look at my vi to see if you have any thoughts on how to fix this.  Also, I tried to set up my vi so that I could take the mean of the signal at any time I choose.  However, at the same instance that the data acquistion time "starts over" again, the mean is calculated (before I trigger it to take the mean)
I have attached my vi and my output file as a text file so that what I'm trying to say will (hopefully) make a bit more sense. 

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Sheck,

I looked at your VI but I have no idea what you mean by your data acquisition time. You have a bunch of simulated signals and no daq at all. Can you add comments to your code explaining which parts you are talking about?

Hi,

Thanks for responding to my question. Attached is the vi with added comments as to what I think I am doing.  By DAQ time, I mean the first column of data that is in the data file that I attached previously.  I am only simulating a signal (at the beginning) so that I can program in my office.  I do, however, have the same problem as stated above when I change the simulate signal to DAQmx using my instrument.

I hope this clearer.  If not, I'll try again. 

Thanks so much!
