Run Save ASCII Step Every Four Hours for Thirty Seconds

[pallen]

I am a long time LabVIEW developer with little experience using SignalExpress

Customer has a Test Rig that currently uses Recording Options tab to record signals with Hourly schedule to start every 4 hours.  And to stop after 30 seconds. 

This does work, but customer wishes to add step to record all signals to single text file.  As per this knowledgebase article: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019KupSAE&l=en-CA

New step records the data.  But data is recorded continuously.  

Is there a way I can trigger this step to run every 4 hours, for 30 seconds?  

I looked at possibly using Conditional Repeat.  

Also considered writing a VI that sends a trigger signal.   But I don't know how I can use that signal run a step.  

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Still struggling with configuring a Periodic "Save to ASCII" step. 

Attached is the SE project with the LabVIEW VIs I'm using.  

The first step is a simulated DAQ step acquiring 100 samples at 100 Samples/Second.

There are two timer VIs.  

Timer 1 is configured for 30 seconds. 

Timer 2 is configured for 3 seconds. 

I'm trying to configure the Conditional Repeat step so that the Write to ASCII step will execute every 30 seconds, for 3 seconds.  

I have tried a few different approaches to this. 

Looking for any feedback at all.
