[atiikah12]

The attached can successfully log the data into a textfile.

i need to log the time and date as well, and if possible divide the textfile into 3 columns (DATE         TIME              DATA).

Pls help.

Thank you so much.

I can't open your code right now... 😞

But...

I suppose you're saving your data as a string

there is a VI called get date/time  with give you the date and the time of that moment.

You can add this to your code that saves your data

Is it possible if you could do your own vi and attach them to me? 

Thank you so much.

Use the get date/time VI as ABCPrograms said.

To build this string, there are many ways you can do it.

As you said textfile, you can do the following:

Get Date/Time string and them concatenate it with your actual DATA, and write to a txt file.

To separate everything into columns, you can use commas (,) as a delimiter between the values.

Using a parameter like this, you will be able to export those values do excel later, and separate it into columns automatically.

Hope this helps.

Just use Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File VI

Hi guys.As i am very very new to Labview, i don't knwo where to start.

I understand that i can use the get datetime string function, but the problem is that i dont know how to connect who to what.

As i have already done the program where the data is able to sent to a textfile, i'm not sure if i have to edit the whole program back.

If that is so, then i badly need help.

If there is anyone who can help me do their own vi and attached them, i would be very grateful.

As i am running out of time, i desperately need this to work 😞

Thank you so so much in advance.
