Export Waveform to Spreadsheet incorrect timestamp

[kl3158]

I am looking to take resistance measurements every second and export the data to excel to analyze. I need to record a timestamp as a requirement but the program I have now always lists the initial time as 12/31/1903 7:00:00 PM. I attached my program (the HP 3478A is not currently hooked up to my computer so the value should read zero). I have not had any luck fixing this so far. Thanks so much in advance for your help!

I am also using LabVIEW 2010

The value you are getting for the TimeStamp represents the Default value, which means that you don't have a proper TimeStamp input in your code.  Not surprising -- you are using Export Waveform to File, but are only wiring in the Y values, leaving t0 and dt at their default values of 0.

Your code did precisely what you told it to do.  Now figure out how to make it do what you want it to do.  Hint:  look up Waveform.

Thanks for the response! I'm not sure what I had been trying before, but I tried the random number generator in the "Create a Waveform" example and it works! The graph on the front panel displa
