Appending data to a file

I am querying a current measurement from my meter.  I want to graph these current readings against time to review the current profile of my unit under test.   How can I output these current readings to file in Teststand?  Does anyone have any suggestions? I am fairly new to Teststand.

There are a hundred ways to accomplish this in TS.  It all depends on what you are going for.

 

Do you want it part of your report?  Or in a separate file? 

 

Are you calling LV or other code modules to collect the data or are you using IVI? Are you calling the step that reads your meter along the way during your test?  Or is it running asynchronously to your test?  If it's running asynchronously then what method do you plan on using to get the data back to TS?

 

Do you need to see the data during execution or is it ok to just see it at the end of the run?

 

Maybe if you can explain your scenario in a little more detail I can help you find a viable solution.

 

Also, how you architect your test will play a major role in how you  can accomplish this.
