Getting an unordered datalogfile when writing timestamps and datavalues to file??

[HFZ]

Hi all

I get measured dat afrom a device, with thése data i need for every data value its timestamp in millisec. precision.

Then i need to write the measurements and their dátavalues to a datalog file.

an example of the file i want it to look like this, example:

Date/time                                    datavalues

25-01-2006.10:55:23:485            -113

25-01-2006.10:55:23:485             210

25-01-2006.10:55:23:485             305

25-01-2006.10:55:23:485            -145

but after writing to a file i get

several  timestamps per line and sometimes severeal data per timestamp ect.

Take a look at the jpg file to see the problem.

thanks!!

Try using an End of Line Constant to terminate each line of data instead of the Carriage Return. EOL should work on all platforms and be interpreted correctly by all applications that read text files.

Hi, HFZ:

1.- Replace the String Constant '%c, ' with '%3c' and timestamps will look ok
2.- Write to file only if you have data to write (you can check if I16 array size is bigger than 0). You can replace the Case you use only for sync with a bigger case that contains the transformation of I16 array into spreadsheet string and the writing to file.
3.- If you need floating point numbers, you'd better transformate I16 values to Float or DBL, otherwise '%.3f' constant is no use.

Hope it helps,
