trying to write data to file (time from timestamp + velocity + temperature)

[DanNatCorning]

Hello all. I've received a considerable amount of help from many of you recently, and once again I'm seeking assistance.  Having spent the majority of my LabVIEW time dealing with GPIB and data aq boards, I'm still struggling with various aspects of serial communication.  I have been working on a .vi to both control and accept data from a Furness Micromanometer.  The last task is to write the data to a file.  Attached is a copy of the vi, as well as what the front panel looks like after a test, and the resulting data saved to disk.  Anyone have any suggestions on how I should change the formatting of the data, or do whatever else might be necessary, so that my laptop and the micromanometer will get along and play well together?

  Below is the data saved to the text file, as well as the front panel showing what SHOULD have been saved. See next posting for vi.

It looks like you have not formatted your data properly to save it. Can you post a bit of you code? It would be easier to advise you.

Mike...

PS: Where are you at with Corning? I spent about 2 yrs in Painted Post...

Mike, check out my other posting, it shows the vi and a front panel image, showing the data that SHOULD have been saved.  I'm at Decker now, 5 years at Sullivan Park before that.  Where were you in the Post?
