time stamp to acquire data

[Shan21]

I am acquiring position data with a timestamp. On the computer, I have simulated a current signal (no hardware attached) and want to acquire the current data corresponding to the position data timestamp.

How do you do this?

Hi shan,

how is the current related to position? And how is current related to a timestamp?

When you simulate the current data then you should be able to use some formula that gives the relation to position or timestamp...

The current data comes from one source. The position data comes from another source. (This data is sampled at specific times)

I want to acquire the current signal at the same time stamp. This is a waveform signal. Can we acquire time stamp from this waveform signal and compare timestamps to find out the current at that specific time?

Hi Shan,

you don't name that current source...

Most "professional" ammeters will also provide a timestamp with the current data (all Keithleys I worked with allow this features). So you have to request that data from your data source.

If this is not possible you will have to timestamp it in LabView...
