Save the strings you receive from your device to a text file.

Excel is able to open text files!

See this simplified snippet:

Error 7 has a meaning: did you read the error explanation and did you verify your file operations actually can access the file in the expected location?

CompoundArithmetic (set to OR inputs)…

I gave you a snippet, which you could drag and drop into your block diagram to receive the underlying code. Please read the LabVIEW help for "snippets"!
