setting up circuit

[furret]

Hello, I'm new to Labview and looking for help in building a simple circuit. Here is what needs doing:

Essentially when I press a start need the circuit to allow for 2 things- 1. to begin taking data from an NI-DAQ and 2. for a stop watch to start. Then I need to take these 2 sets of data, the data from the NI-DAQ and the stop watch time, and convert them into an excel file where results can be read off.

I need it to measure the NI-DAQ continuously, but only give results to excel every second, along with the time (every second). Then when I press a stop button this all needs to end.

Many thanks,

Jacob

Post your code (it's not a "circuit", it's a program) so we can see where you are getting stuck.  We can't help with just your description except to code it for you and this sounds like a school assignment.

Hey Furret

As said if you post some code we would be happy to point you in the right direction.

To start off though here is the first part of a tutorial on how to write to an excel file using the report generation toolkit in LabVIEW

at the bottom of that page are the links to the rest of the tutorial. hopefully this will give you a starting point
