how to create an error logfile

[danil33]

Hi,

     I want to make an error logfile in the below format:-

     Date      Time       Error Number       Error

     1/1          1:00        3243543             error description

      -              -                -                       -

       -             -                -                       -

The error logfile has to be automatically created after the running of a particular program.(only date and time when no error occurs).

Can anyone can give me the samplecodes for doing that?

You have to do it by your own. Suggestion: Convert everything into string and make it in an order and use the write to text file function. Try this as a simple challenge.

Can we do it in the same VI?

[P@Anand]

Yes but it is always preferred to be used as a sub vi.

1. Create a sub vi which takes the values from the error cluster and convert intop string

2. Format the string with date and time

3. Have error in and error out in that module and inside use a case structure and pass the error wire to the case selector  and in the error case write all the error cluster

4. In the error less case (Green) just write the date and time and some info if required

5. Plug this vi into any vi you want.

Clear?

Use a FGV to initialize, log, then close your log file. As stated before you should you a simple text file

Hello,

I have attached a quick example. Take the File String and write it to a text file.
