Setting sample rate to log data

[sag666]

To whom ever can help, i have set up a 3 phase motor test set using labview 7 and so far it runs quite well, However now i need to log data at a

different rate to that which i display on the screen. I have the sample rate set high as we need to pick up any problems quick as the program will

not be controlling the test set at this stage an operator will. The data logged to file however needs to alot slower than 1000 samples/s.

I would greatly appreciate any help

Hello Nathan,

Here is a program I wrote that acquires data and writes every 1000th data point to file.  The data acquisition is a little different than your approach (I do not use the DAQ Assistant), but the same technique could be applied in your program.  I hope this helps!
