pull data from scope & save to a file

[Dennis_Knutson]

Yo can just use Write Characters to File. Using this is really simple and I don't think an example is really necessary. Search the shipping examples if you really get stuck.

- how to add 'carriage return' in time string to start the data in next line?

-how to swap x and y column position? (currently in y colm then x)

[Dennis_Knutson]

Look at the String palette.

Swap the inputs to the build array.

I posted the above link because these questions are extremely basic. You really need to take a LabVIEW course. For someone who has been posting questions since the one at http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=81055#M81055 for close to two years, I'm a little surprised you know so little.

trying to add an option to append the time stamp info into the data file, but not working..

[Dennis_Knutson]

This is a problem that you should be able to fix yourself at this point. I will give you a hint - look at the Boolean values that you have wired to the two write functions.

It works with option to add time-stamp in a data file. one thing that I find odd is that when 'append date info to file' in 'false' state. (replace existing prompt comes up twice...)

[Dennis_Knutson]

Of course. You are still bass ackwards. You write the header as an append to file and then you write the data as a new file.
