Hi kloke,
In the loop in your VI, you have 12 FP_Reads and a write to spreadsheed function (which opens, writes and closes the file). It is not uncommon for such a Vi to execute slowly considering the overhead assosciated with each fieldpoint read. It may be helpful for you to combine all of your analog input channels into a single read and all of your counter channels into a single read. This will reduce the number of FP_Reads that need to be called. I have attatched a picture of what I'm talking about.
