write 16 chennel data in one spread sheet

[deepthi]

hello,
         I have a device with 16 load cells and I control the device with labview7.1. When I run my program my o/p is 16 arrays and I want to write the data as each load cell data in each coloum. I am not able to do that as  I am able to connect only one channel to the write function. I used merge signals function and run the VI my data looks  so weird. I would really  appreciate if some could help me.
Thanks

Hi Deepthi,

Plz tell me if i have not understood your query correctly.

You want to write data coming from 16 load cells.( I assume you are acquiring by running a  suitable AI program that gives 16 cahnnel data in form of a 2D array).

In the attached VI, i have shown 2 methods for  writing a 16 row 2D array to spread sheet file.

Hope it helps.

regards

Dev

hi dev
        thanks a lot for helping me. That was helpful for me. I think my question was kind a silly to u but I just started leanning labview thats the reason I have all kinds of wierd doubts in my mind.
   Actually I have another question dev. I have two for loops in my VI. The VI should run in such a way that first loop should run then I need to get a flash signal saying that the loop had end and then i need a start button to sart the second "for loop".

It would be really helpful if u can reply .
thanking you for your help

Hi Deepthi,

Hope you enjoy learning Labview.

Its kinda fun programming in labview coz, u get to be more creative 😉

Do not hesitate to clarify any doubt you have, no doubt is silly while you are learning.

Look at attached VI , hope it  suit your specs for running 2 for loops.

I have used Events in this Vi , read about them here
