Writing numeric data to spreadsheet

[jgkempen]

I have some data that I have read in through the serial port. I have wrote a vi to format the data and display it. Now I would like to save the numeric data to a spread sheet. I believe IM reading in the data at 400 hz and it was suggested to me to store it to memory first and then save it later. What's the best way to write the code to save this data to a spreadsheet. I have attached my vi, the data I want to record is the range data and signal strength. Eventually I would like to put a strip chart in as well.

That depends on how you want to save your data.
The easiest way is to use Write to Spreadsheet File from the File I/O palette.
If you want to put text labels in you can add a header later or you can convert the VI to handle strings as well.
You will need to use Build Array and a shift register to store the data until you save it.
Also, I suggest you clean up your VI a bit.

I am new to labview. I am going to use a File Dialog and also a write to spreadsheet in order to save my file.  How would i hook it up correctly?
