How to call up an excel template when writing a measurement file
I want my program to use an excel template when writing a labview measurement file. I have looked through your discussion forums but all of the examples I saw had a different icon for writing data than mine. I would like to keep my program the same if possible, it works well. But I want it to use an excel template with a graph. I read that the template must be on the "data" page when I do this.
I just need to know how to get the "Write LabView Measurement File" to call up a template. Or if I must build something else to call up a template, I need to know how to do that. I've attatched a picture of my program.
Thank you.

Aaron,
The "write to LV measurement file.vi" doesn't have the built in functionality you're looking for. You can however edit it or you may simply have to write your own file io program that writes the data to file in the formatt compatible with this "template". You can find the file IO vis by going to all functions>>File IO. To edit an express vi, simply right click on it and select "open front panel". This will create a copy for you to edit. If you have specific questions about using the file io vis and the shipping examples (help>>find examples) don't seem to help, post to let us know.
