I am trying to read data from a DAQ at a sampling rate of 50 kS/s and record it to a file. My application needs to run for at least a few hours. Initially, I tried a producer-consumer loop pattern with a Write to Measurement File Express VI, but it wrote the data too slowly, and my queue filled up. Now I am trying to use the Write to Spreadsheet File VI with or without a producer-consumer loop pattern (see attached VIs). Both seem to write data to file, but neither writes the number of datapoints I would expect (both have far fewer datapoints).
What is the best way to write this data to file? This seems like a basic question, so if it has already been discussed at length in another forum, or if there are examples of it which someone could direct me to, that would also be appreciated.
Thank you!
