Well nice little function however I was thinking that the time stamp should be correct date not 1903. The computer time is within 4 seconds of navy time. Now its not that big of a deal but I would like to now why labVIEW puts 1903 in the header. I read the help files and didn�t find anything that would help. I like the user interface while running the VI because when you hit cancel its more user friendly. It wou
ld be nice if I could get the correct date and time in the header.

Well I just wondering if I set it up wrong.

The Write LabVIEW Measurement File only calculates a timestamp if there is data to write. If there is no data it uses 0 (which is the 0th second of 1904 GMT). All you have to do to get it to read the correct time is to give it some data.

Let us know if that is the problem.

Ya that all it was I was using the (LabVIEW Measurement Writer_Version .92) as a user interface to get the save location and then using the other save vi�s in an (error) case statement to save the data. This way if the user hits cancel it doesn�t give the terrifying error 43 and I don�t get called for a nothing problem. Thanks for your help Robert Y.
