Overview
This example VI enables files to include the date and time in its filename.
Description
When logging lots of sets of data in LabVIEW, we often want to distinguish what each set of data represents. One way to do this, is to set the filename to match the current date/time so this simple VI does just that. All the user has to do is locate the folder that they want to save their new file to, then it will create a text file with the name Date Month Year Hour-Min-Sec.txt using some simple string manipulation.
Requirements
- LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
- Open the VI "Date File Name 2012 NIVerified.vi"
- Set the file path for the files to be saved
- Run the program
