interface help for tds 3012b scope

Hi,
I'm trying to create an interface for my oscilloscope that would continuously graph and save waveform data from both channels as well as fft data.  I started from the examples included in the scope driver tds3k that I downloaded - but the examples are fairly limited.  For instance, the single channel waveform acquire example collects just one waveform - if I want to continue acquiring data, do I need to put the read (or fetch) vi in a while loop?  If so, do I need to include the close vi inside the loop, or does it go outside it? 
 
I'm also a little confused at how to store my data.  Any examples of code to store in excel format would be greatly appreciated.
 
Interestingly, once I run the example vis, my oscilloscope traces disappear.  This is a bit unsettling, and I've only been able to fix this by pressing the 'autoset' button on my scope.  Does that mean that something hasn't been closed properly during the acquisition?
 
Thanks for your help - it's been >10 years since I've written anything in Labview!  🙂

Oops, I guess this really should go under the 'instrument control' board.  I'll post it there now...

Thanks!
