t a file in the windows notepad that will show a time column and a voltage column that i am aquireing from my DAQ, but I can only get one data point per second how can I get more than that i.e 5 data points per seconds, or get miliseconds out of any timer?Not sure I completely understand this question, but there should be no problem with acquiring multiple data points per second. By default, the value which you wire into any timer is in ms.
If you are trying to figure out how to find out the current time, with ms accuracy, it is included with any timestamp. You can use the Format Date/Time String to get it out, but the easiest way is probably just to convert the timestamp to a double (this will give you the number of seconds, including fractional seconds, since July 1st, 1904, so you'll probably want to subtract off the initial time from the current time). I've attached a brief example.
