I'm writing a program to read data from a nanovolt meter and write it to a file. In order to speed things up a bit, I'm trying to put the voltmeter data into an array and then every 1000 measurements, write the data to a file. (Originally, I'd write each pair of points to the file as they were read from the instrument). However, for some reason, the voltage reading is fine, but the value in timenow[arraycount} appears to stay constant (within a few milliseconds) until the elapsed time of the experiment reaches whatever the value is. For example, if the value in timenow[arraytime] is 30 seconds, the array is filled with 30 until 30 seconds has passed, at which point it fills correctly.
However, the point plotted on my graph is corr
ect (i.e. if 10 seconds has passed and my y value is 25 mV, then the point 10, 25 is plotted while the value 30,25 is saved to my file).
If anyone has any ideas what I may be doing wrong, or why things are behaving this way, I would be much obliged for your comments.
thank you,
John Nordling
