Use work areas to perform multiple LabVIEW SignalExpress
operations from within the same project. You can acquire data, process
signals, record data, and perform measurements on logged data
without opening a new project. When you save your project,
LabVIEW SignalExpress saves every work area within the project in
the same project file.
