problem no. 1 (for serial interfacing and Gpib interfacing ) temperature monitor of lakeshore 218 

how i can read particular data(temperature) which is in second column in excel by giving particular data(time) of first column

by giving simple time or date at input then i can get all data corresponding to that date or time in the format of array or in the format of chart or graph .

as like in excel data is in the format

12/6/2012   4:12:34 pm   456.6777

12/6/2012   4:13:34 pm   556.6777

as i   give date 12/6/2012 in labview then i could  read 456.6777 and 556.6777 in array or graph or chart.

problem no. 2

how i can put a external scroll for x -axis in waveform chart (absolte current time on x axis )to see previous data at the time of run time.

i don't want any running data on chart during holding scroll which happens with x axis scroll bar which is given in waveform chart by clicking right click

As you have been told before, do not stuff the entire message in the Subject.

It is usually a good idea to ask different questions in different threads. Otherwise, the conversation gets confusing REAL fast, and when you accept a post as a solution, you don't know which question is being solved.

For Problem 1: You first need to read the data from Excel. Do you know how to do that? If not, AGAIN, search the NI site and the examples for reading Excel. There's even an example that ships with LabVIEW on reading an Excel workbook into a 2D array. Once you have the array it's a trivial matter to perform a search on a specific column. Index out that column, use Search 1D Array, and then Index out the element from the other column. Try something.

For Problem 2: I do not understand this question at all. You said you don't want "any running data during holding scroll". Well, what do you want?
