Time and data in excel

[Solis]

Hello,

I am using Labview 8.6 on a MAC OSX and have daqmxbase.  I currently use tick count for time and am having the data exported as a simple text file.  I was wondering if there was a better way to collect time data and export it to an excel file along with my graph data.  It would be ideal to have the time in seconds instead of a large random number that starts around 158238912  I have looked at various examples but non seem to fit my VI or the program I am using.  I have attached my VI for reference.  Thank you very much.

Hi,

You can have time in seconds using two boxes: "Get Date/Time in Seconds" and "Get Date/Time String", I send you an image.  Also, you could use the box "Write to text file" instead "Write to Spreadsheet" to write strings into a txt file (obviously you'll have to convert your numeric array into string).  Cheers,
