get waveform time - increase precision?

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi I'm trying to measure a voltage, and take the voltage and time at the specific voltage measurement and place it all into a neat and easy to read file.  I've had success with everything above, however, when looking at the data, the timestamps are not precise enough.  It is plotting data that appears to only show 1 significant digit, and I need much more precision than this.

 

Is there a way to use the 'Get Waveform Time Array.vi' that will show more precision when getting these time components?  

 

Version is 8.6

If you want help, play by the rules. You changed the extension of the bmp to jpg to get around the ban on bmp files. Did you think no one would notice? The other option is that you actually thought that changing the extension would change the format. Don't really understand how someone would think that, especially a college student.

 

The data in the file is EXACTLY like you programmed it to be and it has nothing at all to do with the Get Waveform Time Array.

Only to the ones who try to cheat and get around the rules.

For those who aren't jerks and care to know the solution, when writing to a spreadsheet, Excel WILL truncate data.  I'm not sure why the data was lost, but there was no way to recover it in Excel.  In my case, valuable time resolution was lost.  However, writing to a text file can remedy this problem.
