Writing arrays to spreadsheet w/ timestamp

Consider just writing strings to a text file.

 

I use CSV files for all my data (Comma Seperated Values) Excel and other spreadsheet programs can open a csv file.

 

 

Here (the vi that does the actual measurments outputs a srting) I build a string with the time stamp and readings seperated by commas, add an EOL and write it to a .csv file.

 

Been doing it this way forever...

Write to Spreadsheet File is polymorphic, try right clicking on the icon and select type.  It sounds like you have the double numeric version of it.

 

If that doesn't work, perhaps you just have one instance of the polymorphic VI on your block diagram.  Try droppiong a new Write to Spreadsheet File from the file I/O palette.

I got!! I change my number data to strings and built array then to file. But there was a gotcha in setting and finding the file. On cFieldpoint the file gets stored on its flash memory and not my personal computer. I kept getting errors trying to Open/Create/..file. But you guys probably already knew that. Thanks to all.
