You don't mention which nodes you are using to write out your data, but 
anything that opens/creates a file should have a path input.  If left 
unwired, LV will often popup a file dialog asking you to find or name 
the file.  If you programmatically increment a number and append it to a 
string or format the date and computer name into a string, then append 
this unique string to the directory path using Build Path, and wire this 
into the open/create, you should be set.  If you are using Express VIs, 
I think they default to having the path input not be visible, and you 
might want to make that programmatically settable using the express 
dialog for the file node.
