Logging date/time with measurements put into a spreadsheet

[soleater]

I have a VI set up to receive temperature readings and log them to a spreadsheet. I also want to log the time and date with each reading. How do I do that since the temperature readings are numbers and time/date is a string.

Try using the waveform datatype. This will have the value and a timestamp with each value you take. This can be broken apart to get to each element by using the get waveform components function under the waveform palette. You can convert the timestamp function using the format date/time string function. You also can convert the number to a string. There is a variety of functions under the strings palette. Hope this helps.
