Hi, I am using an oscilloscope to acquire 2D data (amplitude vs time). After acquiring say 100 times, I will get Labview to adjust another instrument (changes the wavelength) and acquire the same 2D data from the oscilloscope.
#1: How should I store the data within Labivew? I am thinking the data from the oscilloscope should go into two 1D arrays (one for amplitude, one for time). Then store these 2 arrays as an element in a 1D array for each different wavelength, so ultimately it will a 1D array of two 1D arrays.
#2: If I want to write to spreadsheet in a format that is easy to import into Excel/Origin, how should it be formatted? For 2D, I'm using X, Y pairs followed by a newline.
Thank you!!

There are a lot of ways to do this. The simplest is to store your data as waveforms in TDMS format. Use the TDMS Excel pluggin to look at your TDMS files directly from Excel.
