Gentlemen,
I have been trying to integrate the WT500 via gpib; taking instrument data and saving that to a spreadsheet file with headers. Because I have a different DUT each time I test I elected to be able to read the bar code into the vi (beginning of each row) below the main header. I can't make that happen. The scanned text comes in via usb fine, but it won't behave after that. It appears it needs to be a string, otherwise it filters out all the alphabet characters and leaves numbers only. That's a problem where I need both because I don't know how to combine those two in a array to be saved as shown as attached.. Further when I close this vi it won't save the headers assignments. I have to retype them all over again.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
