OKLets start with this. This will get you back to where you were only more reliable. Look throught it and ask any questions for things that you do not understand.

She is working with 8.6

It should be save for 8.6

IslandMan thank you for the input. The code I'm working with (I ran it for about 30 minutes while I was doing some construction) seems to have fairly accurate timing right now. It's not like I need EXACT, 1 second is just a good increment for our testing because we are going to be doing it anywhere from 10-30 minutes. It could also change. So I think that code would make it more complicated for another person to run, for me it's fine, actually the time was quite accurate when I ran the program. Very interesting....

Also I cannot open the .zip file. It says that is LV version 9 and I'm running 8.6 I get an error when I try to open it. I'm off for about one more housr then breaking for lunch. If you could get it posted by then that would be great and I'll take a look.

Again thanks so much for the help, it's refreshing.

Sorry I thought I changed it.

I suppose the entire code is confusing. I'm trying to make this program as simple as possible. After running the program with the time elapsed in there 4-5 times it looks like it will be fine for data collection.

The only issue I'm encountering now is getting those headers in the spreadsheet file. Is there a way I can work with arrays and do this?

[aeastet]

THe easites way to do this is to convert it to a string array. Then you can add the headers easily. I have a meeting that I need to go to right now so I will try and give an example when I get back from that.

The code that I gave you really is the best way to make a program. It is not that hard to use and it can grow much easier in the future. If you want to take time and learn it let me know.

Yes I'm leaving work in about 1 hr and won't be back until Monday. While I'm gone I'll be sure to go through the code and try to understand it better. The thing is there is too much stuff on the front panel of that .vi. I really only need the graph, over indicator, and stop button. Also digital displays of the channel readouts.

The start button is also a nice touch I would just have to downsize them. I'm working on trying to get this array thing to work so I can make some columns....

I'll let you know how it turns out Monday. Thanks so much for your help!

[aeastet]

This is how I would do it. You will need to only add the labels the first time you run this then when the log file gets updated you just give it the time and data. See below.
