If you want it to run in the background have a look at services and ServiceStartAt, if you want it to run only when your app is active, you can use a timer.

Save the values to global variables, then in the timer_tick sub, write them. Or you could use a service anyway, and start it every 10 minutes while the app is running. That would save the accelerometer being read continuously.

Or if you don't want to create a service you could try calling StartListening in a timer_tick event and stop listening once the data has been written by your existing sub.
