labview - buffer data then save to excel file
<p>My question is with respect to a labVIEW VI (2013), I am trying to modify. (I am only just learning to use this language. I have searched the NI site and stackoverflow for help without success, I suspect I am using the incorrect key words). </p>

<p>My VI consists of a flat sequence one pane of which contains a while loop where integer data is collected from a device and displayed on a graph.</p>

<p>I would like to be able to be able to buffer this data and then send it to disk when a preset number of samples have been collected. My attempts so far result in only the last record being saved.</p>

<p>Specifically I need to know how to save the data in a buffer (array) then when the correct number of samples are captured save it all to disk (saving as it is captured slows the process down to much).</p>

<p>Hope the question is clear and thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
