save chart to file

[Student81]

Hi guys.

I´ve got a new question over here...I know it may sound silly but I cant manage to save my data, which is a chart/graph in which I measure movement with help of sensors.  I use a simple example of Basic Serial Read to see my signal in the chart. I want to save the valus of this chart and want to see (for an example in excel) two columns with a lot of rows after I have saved it in Labview. The two colums should indicate X and Y on the chart. The X-axle should be the time and this increas with constant interval, for an example the first row is 0 seconds, the second row is 1 seconds etc. The  Y-axle should be the voltage and this is increasing and decreasing differntially, for an example the fist row (where the time is 0) may be 2,5, the second row (where the time is 1) may be 5 etc.

Thanks

Hi,

Your Vi is in LabVIEW 8.0, and not all LabVIEW users have shifted to LabVIEW 8.0

So, plz save it for Labview 7.1( in save with options in file menu) or paste a jpg of your block diagram.

Anyhow, take a look at attached VI.

It generates x and y values as u have specified and saves them in an xls file

Hope you get an idea on how to go about

regards

Dev

Hi..

the example you gave me wasn´t exactly suited for my problem....the thing that I´m trying to do is to recieve my signal from the serial port, and these is drawn in a waveform chart...and this is what i´m trying to save, but I don´t succeed.

Thanks

Hi,

This VI should do the Job

I am simulating random data and writing it in x and y axis format
