channel names in ascii file

[Omniquito]

Hi there,

This maybe a rookie question but I am a relative rookie to this software, and I hope it has an easy fix!

Background:

Take a load of analogue inputs from a DAQ device into Signal Express, first thing that hits me is that unlike labVIEW you cannot right click in the channel configuration window and change the name from say... Dev2_ai0 to Air Pressure? I feel that if this was possible then I would overcome my problem? anyway I can't so onwards...

I goto the DAQmx Acquire window on the top left and can right click and rename the channel, which is great... however this does not translate to the logged data as I get the ai0 channel names across the top of the columns and not the names that I have put in.

Is there anyway of getting data like the attached snippet?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Neil,

This doesn't actually sound like a TestStand related query. Infact not sure where you are aiming this at.

If it not TestStand then I suggest you repost in the correct forum.

If it is TestStand, the  what version are you using, which code language, maybe post a small example to hightlight your problem

Ahh, yes you are correct. It is a signal express question. I didn't see that... in fact I did select the Signal Express forum but something must have gone wrong.

How can I move this to the signal express section?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Ok, Its a common problem posting to the wrong forums. You just have to recheck that your Forum selection is still correct before Posting your question.
