Use the Write Waveforms to
File and Export Waveforms to
Spreadsheet File VIs to send waveforms to files.
You can write waveforms to spreadsheet, text, or datalog files.
For example, the following VI acquires multiple waveforms, displays them on a graph, and writes them to a spreadsheet file.
- If you expect to use the waveform you create only in a VI, you can save the waveform as a datalog file.
- You also can use the Storage/DataPlugin VIs or the Write To Measurement File Express VI to write waveforms to files.
