Attempting to take a series of still images and write them to a file

[zwickens]

Hi. I'm a new user of LabVIEW, so I'm having plenty of issues.

I'm attempting to use LabVIEW 8.5.1 to control a Cohu 4910 camera to take a series of images, each spaced apart by five minutes. Currently, I have set up a while loop that acquires the image, uses "IMAQ Write File 2" to write the file and then has a time delay on the while loop of 5 minutes.

But I can't figure out how to the file path for each execution of the while loop so I end up only being able to save the first image I take, since I'm using a constant file path.

Sorry for the stupid question and thanks for any help!
