customize file output

[HereWeGo]

Say I want to create a custom template for exporting data from LabVIEW.  Currently I am using DAQmx and using the write to measurement file vi.  This is not allowing me to customize what goes in each column and so forth.  Is there an easier way for me to achieve this.  I need a custom format so that I can scope / analyze the results later.  I have also tried creating a string without success

Hi HereWeGo,
try the "Write to Spreadsheet File" function. You can create your own array and write it to a file.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Mike,I'm new to this software. Is there a way to insert heading information and a column for time using this spreadsheet vi?  I currently have my data output wired to the 2D data input

Hi HereWeGo,
you can use the array functions to build what you need.

Hi HereWeGo,

An Applications Engineer at NI created an example to insert information into a spreadsheet file with header information which is posted on this discussion forum.

Hope this helps!
