Labeling Columns

[Nrsoccer15]

The issue with this is that the column labels dont show up on the file it creates. I’m struggling to figure out part B, how to fix the diagram so that it functions properly by only changing one wire.

A picture of a page in your book.

But no picture, or actually no VI attached to your message so we can see what you actually did.

What help do you expect to receive?

Are you sure you programmed your VI EXACTLY how it looks in that picture?

If you are sure, then attach your VI so we can see what you did that doesn't match what that picture of a page shows.

That’s not what the question is asking. It says “run this program and demonstrate that it does not work as hoped”, the vi from the picture in the book is purposely built wrong and you’re supposed to recognize what’s wrong with it and fix it. Obviously my vi isn’t going to work if it’s the exact same as that picture, it’s not supposed to. My question was what’s wrong with the vi in the picture that’s preventing the column titles from showing on the file it produces...

It seemed like you were trying to replicate the VI and didn't know why it didn't work.

It wasn't clear that you were trying to do the homework problems listed on that page.

I'm not going to give you the answer.  But I'll give you some tips.

Which functions in that picture relate to writing data to a file?

If you turn on context help and hover over those functions read the descriptions of all the terminals on those functions and see if any of them apply to the problem that is being asked of you.  It is possible that certain inputs may be wired or unwired, and if they are unwired, what is the default value that the input connection uses?

Also think about data flow and execution order. I am sure that was covered in class. 🙂

I'm not certain that can be fixed with just one change - I'm pretty sure based on the filename that one of my previous colleagues had this book, I'll see if he left it here and check the diagram but I suspect you have two problems, both of which are easily fixed, but fixing only one will I suspect leave you with a race condition.

The book wasn't really to my taste if it's the one I'm thinking of, but I doubt you have much choice in the matter...
