What version of SignalExpress are you using? Newer versions have a fairly complete logging system. To set it up, go to the Recording Options tab (select View»Recording Options from the menu if the tab is not visible). Click on Signal Selection and select all your signals. Every time you run, a new log will be created which contains all the signals you selected.
Logging is always done to a binary format (TDMS) for speed and efficiency. If you would prefer a text format, in the menu, select Tools»Options. When the dialog comes up, select Logging in the left-hand pane. Now change Automatically export log to text file to Yes.
