how to set more than 100 acquisitions at "write to text file.vi"?

[fr33k]

hi

i'm working with labview for about a week and i need some help.

i use the "write to text file.vi" in one of my VIs and now i discovered, that the number of acquisitions in this VI seems to be limited to 100.
but i need a lot more (about 10000). so i need to know, how to raise the number.

if you need more informations, tell me and i post it!


thx

Hi fr33k,

which function do you mean and where do you see the limitation?

hi mike,

in the "write to text file.vi" you have 2 options!

1: set the "number of acquisitions"
2: set the "number of points per acquisition"

the first option (number of acquisitions) gives the while-loop in the VI the number of times it should go through, i guess!
and this number is limited to 100. (when i want to type in a higher number, it resets me to 100).

is it possible to increase this number?
so that the while loop can be run 10000 times for example?

Hi fr33k,

can you please show an image of the vi you mean? I think you don't mean the "normal" "write to text file.vi".

As Mike said can you please post a snapshot of your code

[fr33k]

ok. here is the code of the VI but nothing is changed.

Propably the Control has the Range properties set.

Right Click on the Control and select Properties. Then go to the Range tab.

The shown VI is one of NI's example VIs, to show you an example of how to use the write to text file function. See the VI's context help for more information. The "number of acquisitions" control has a range of 1 to 100 specified in the NI original, and is set to automatically coerce values outside of this range. (Prroperties, Data Range)

The write to text file function is the one in the top middle of the while loop.

Rod.
