niHWS Store Waveform
Creates a new file for storing a waveform. The instances of this polymorphic VI correspond to the type of analog or digital data you are storing.
This VI is intended for storing a single waveform in a file. To store multiple waveforms in a file, you must use the Low Level Write VIs.
Use the pull-down menu to select an instance of this VI.
