Temperature Graph

[pop]

I setup the temperature graph posted and went to verify the Thermocouple temperatures were reading.

I read temperatures & Graphs from TC's 1-7,   however I was able to read the temperatures for TC'S 8-15 but there were no graphs/Plot

Did I miss something during setup.

Thanks

When you use the array to cluster function, you have to specify the number of elements in the cluster. The default is 9. Right click on the function and select Cluster Size. You need to change it to 16.

Dennis, thanks again

 I will work on setting up the correct time along the x-axis and a write file, tomorrow.

Do you have any suggestions about a write file?

I want to have the ability to access everything in excel.

Hi, POP:

Do you use MCC hardware product? cause you mentioned UL for LV.

I am working on the similiar project using MSS USB and UL. What I want to do is to implement a simple data acquisition system in EXCEL (VBA programming) instead of LV which provides limited report utility.  Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I'm using the MCC DAQ software which is a part of the UL data acquisition & control programming tools.

This forum has been a big help with getting me through my situations due to the fact thatI'm new to LabView 7.

My next task is to setup my temperature program to record the data to a file so that I can extract the info to excel.

Wish me luck.

I am not sure how complex and big your project will be. To my experience, manipulating data in excel from LV is not a happy thing. I used to do project in this way, using LV to acquire data and process data or generate report in Excel, I found there are many problems. Any way, just  go ahead and let us know your progress.

I setup a write LabView measurement file to record my data.

 I had garbage when I looked at the data.

Do I have my program setup correctly.

Please view my VI.

Thanks

Define 'garbage'. It appears to write a normal lvm file with each iteration so you only get a single scan in each file but other than that, it looks okay to me. A lvm file is just a text file so you should have no problems reading it with Notepad.

p.s. Each of the VIs you posted are different but they had the same name. Also, neither one had a .vi for extension. It would be nice if you fixed both of these issues before posting example code again.

This is what I mean by garbage

(DTLG €      B 2 P P P @0ÿÿÿÿA¨ú*A©y[A§|˜A©y[).

I solved this problem, the file extensions were different.

I want to save a file with all the test data for each test.

I have different Vi files in my previous examples due to the fact I wanted to post the front panel & block diagram to show my issue.

Thanks

Look again at the way you configured the Write to LabVIEW Measurement File. You selected the 'Save to series of files' option. If you want all of the results in one file, select the 'Save to one file' and then the 'Append to file' options. There is a Help button on the configure screen that will explain the different options you have.
