Adding a single Timestamp column to a csv in LabView NXG?

mjm937 — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 17:20:54 GMT

Hey everyone,

Was wondering if anybody had a way to write a single time column for a CSV file in NXG. The problem is I have a Vi that is reading and recording 8 analog inputs, and the included time channels option on "Write Deliminated Spreadsheet" gives me a time column for each datasheet.

Any ideas or recommendations are appreciated.

Just add the time data column to the data before saving.

The waveform time array can't be combined with the data waveforms. Does this mean I need to create the time column manually?

Yes, I think that is probably the easiest way.

Forgive me, I'm still new to LabView, what is the best way of creating the time column. I was trying to use iterations somehow but wasn't sure.
