Maria,

The constants in JoeLabView's pictures are not going to be found in those exact configurations on the palettes. You have to build them yourself.

Since you did not recognize them, I suspect that you are very new to LabVIEW. It would be well worth the time to go through the tutorials which come with LV or can be found at NI's web site.

Hi Guys,
Again thanks for all your help with this and I hope you won't mind me asking some more questions.
I am having a problem with a one of the functions in the suggested VI (yes Lynn you are right I am extremely new to Labview I have been working on it for about 3 or 4 weeks).
I have gone through loads of tutorials and I still cannot figure out how you got this to work.
I will forward you on what I have.
Thanks again
Maria

Maria,

I see two problems. The input cluster to the Bundle by Name function must be the same type as the cluster you are connecting to, in this case a timestamp cluster. The easiest way to get a constant of the correct type is to go to the input of the conversion VI and Create Constant. Then hook that constant to the input cluster terminal of the Bundle by Name.

The format string must match the datatypes you are trying to generate. Compared to JoeLabView's your format string has extra spaces and %f in place of %t. When I copy his into your VI it works OK.
