I re-configured my Vi how does this look?

I tried running the above VI and no luck. I changed the value to 7 wired to the N of the For Loop and it scans through all 7 controllers but then only writes and charts the value from the first controller. I feel like I’m getting a little closer to having it work properly but still not there yet. Any feedback would be great. Thank you all

You should not wire up the N. The autoindexing tunnel will determine how many loops the FOR loop will run. What you should be looking at is the To Dynamic Data Type node. Make sure it is set up to accept an array of channels.

Still not having any luck getting this to run right. My “Error Query Vi” will not work inside the For Loop so I moved it outside and it will run. My write to file data only gives me a time stamp on the first row. I would be willing to pay someone for their time to just make this work correctly. It’s beyond my skills at this time and what sounded like a simple way to collect data is turning out to be a fun learning project but costing too much time for a hobby. May just have to go back to recording the data manually. I appreciate the help and am always open to suggestions or tips. Thank you,

How am I not passing it to a write to measument file? The blue box in the upper right of my block diagram is a "Write to Measument File". Or at least it says it is and I have used it on other VI's without issues.

Dennis,
This does make sense to me. How is my program going to know what the date and time are to write to the file? I like the idea of making the first block in my array a get Date and Time function. I will try and figure this out. Do you or anyone else have any use for an Omron E5CK Temp. Controller? I’m willing to trade one of my controllers for someone to help me create this VI. I will pay for shipping and you can keep the controller. I’m just running out of time and would like to get this VI running remotely so I don’t have to keep manually entering the process values in to an excel spread sheet a few times a day. I breed Japanese Koi fish and have multiple Ponds / tanks that I need to track the water temperature of throughout the year. If anyone would like a Temp Controller to use to help me create this VI I would be willing to ship for free as a trade for creating a working VI that will run correctly for me.
Thank you,
Chad

Dennis,
I tried adding a couple diffent time and date stamp blocks to the array, tried the first block of the array and also at the end of the array. When I run the VI it gets stuck in the While Loop and does not pass any data past that. I also tried adding the “get date and time block in other parts of the code and it just created errors.
