Why don't you just look at the shipping examples if you need it that urgently. There are numerous examples. Just do a search for 'files'. The hard part for you will be deciding on the format of the saved data. You haven't specified that.

To save an image of a control/indicator you use the Get Image method and pass the image data to the Write JPEG File function. to save as text, there are the Write to Measurement File, Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File, Write to Spreadsheet File, etc. functions. Look at the examples and try the different functions.

Right click on the chart and select 'Create Reference'. Right click on the reference and select Create>Method>Get Terminal Image. The Write to JPEG is on the Graphics & Sound>Graphics Formats palette.

Write to Measurement File will create a text file that can be loaded by Excel.

And why would you wait so long to test such a basic VI?
