write to spreadsheet at regular intervals and optional manual interval selections

Hi ppl, need help!

 

I have a simple vi that constantly acquire data and displays in a graph/chart (just to view in runtime). The expt runs for 14 days.

 

1) how do i time the VI it to run for 14 days?  and

 

2) I need to be able to write the constantly acquiring data to a spreadsheet at regular intervals like, only 30 secs of data every 8 hrs for 14 days (without express vi's) in order not to flood my harddisk writing 14days of data

 

3) also I need to be able to write data to spreadsheet in between the above specified intervals manually while VI is running , like , i can select 45 seconds of data at that instance and then write to spreadsheet.

 

4) each data entry (30 sec of data) should be seperated/spaced and have a header that shows the date+time info  at which it was acquired and also how can i make the spreadsheet to have the date+time  on each value that is on the spreadsheet

 

would be greatly thankful to you

 

thanks a ton
