saving data from an executable

[antbraver]

Hello,

I have a program which saves data from a weather station so I can evaluate later this information. When I run the .vi there is no problem, labview saves the data in a .txt file, everything is ok till now. But after doing the executable, when it is running, it does not save the data, does anybody know how to fix this?

Have you verified where it is trying to save the data? The executable may very well be saving just someplace you aren't expecting. This is definitely true if you use the some of the various directory properties to specify where to save the file. There are differences when running in LabVIEW and when running as an executable.

Also, have you checked for any errors? While this is not as likely it could be a source of your issue. In addition, it would be very helpful if you could post your VI (or a simplified version of it) or at least a picture of the block diagram. It is very difficult to identify problems without seeing the code.
