build text vi - Labview 7

[vienna]

i want to use the Build Text express vi in Labview 7, but it wont provide all of the necessary inputs for the variables and says that there is subVI errors that I cant resolve. the vi is attached if someone could have a look. im also having trouble finding documentation for using the Build Text.vi.

regards,
S.

It appears even if you create more variables it will not let you connect to them or expand the express vi. I haven't seen this before. All examples that I have seen have not used as many variables as you are using. Maybe a NI person will chime in on this situation. Until that happens try using the format into string function under the string subpalette. I know this will not allow you to create a header as easily as the express vi but for your file but you can be creative and use some of the constants and string constants for a header. That is how is has been done until this new express vi has been created. Keep in mind you can also use concatenate strings and use multiple format into string functions.
