saving data to multiple alternating files

[Ranelle]

I'm using the simple data logger to save data from 3 channels to a text file. However, I'd like to save the data into one text file for 5 seconds and after those 5 seconds, close the file and start saving to another text file for 5 seconds. I need to alternate the logging to these 2 files.

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance,
Ranelle.

Hi Ranelle,

that should not be a problem. Just alternate the path every 5 seconds.

Have a look a the attatched VI

Hi, thanks for your speedy response.

However, when I try to open that VI, I get an error message:
"Resource not found. LabVIEW load error code 8: Could not load VI resource."

I'm using LabVIEW 5.1.

can get the grasp of the idea.
