How to record seconds in LabVIEW and display it in Excel file

[Yeun]

Hi,

My 6 sensors' output goes to individual "Set Dynamic Data Attributes" and then from there 6 different signals go to "Write to measurement file". When I start the run, I got 6 readings in Excel but now I am missing time (in seconds). May I know how can I include time (seconds) in my coding so that the time display in an Excel file? 

Thank you!

A picture of 7 express vis gives us nowhere near enough information to help you.  We simply cannot see any of the evil express vi configurations. 

Attach your vi or a snippet created by selecting the all of the express vis and "Create snippet from Selection" under the Edit Menu.

"Write to measurement file" has options for a time column (default is empty). What are your settings there?

Any why are you bothering with excel? Would be so much easier to stream to a tab delimited text file after writing the headers once.

Well, they could just keep everything "as is" and generate a time scalar, give it a name attribute ("time") and build it into dynamic data to be merged with the dynamic data from the other 6 data points. Cringeworthy!

No CA, TDMS!  (no Kudos)

Obviously they want Excel, so why change the topic?

(Unless you are also talking about the excel plugin) 😄
