[daniel2478]

Hello,

I'm trying to name the signal that go into the "write to measurement file"

currently signals are named untitled1, untitled2, ...

attached is my VI

Thanks,

Don't convert your dynamic data type to a scalar.  It loses its name there.  You can do the math directly on the blue wire.  Then when you merge them back together, they should maintain their names.

As it is now, you are taking unnamed scalar values and merging them together.

Hi,

tried your solution but still the same.

Hi,

also what is the channel input option for "convert from dynamic data", when is it used?

Thanks,

I thought the DAQ assistant would provide the names for the channels, but apparently it doesn't.  There is another express VI you can use called Set Attributes in the Express >> Signal Manipulation palette.

But better than that is this link I found

Click on the help button when you are in the dialog box for that function.
