Unit 4: DAQ - Lesson 3

Introduction

In this lesson we are going to talk about File I/O with express VIs.

Express VIs are wizard like functions which provide a user interface and ease of use, at the expense of some flexibility. The express VIs we will be concentrating on, are the "Write to Measurement File" and "Read from Measurement File". These provide a lot of functionality of the standard File I/O functions, but with a minimal amount of programming.
