Can I get a 'timetable' of what labview does when it runs the program?

Can I get a 'timetable' of what labview does when it runs the program? i.e. how long it spends doing each sub vi, and what order it does them in.

Yes you can

Use Tools\Profile\Performance and Memory from the front panel menu.

Im trying to use it, but it says everything takes 0 microseconds, what am I doing wrong?

Here it an article about how to use it:

Is there a way to find out what order the program performs sub functions?

Im trying to find out if the time at which data is read from hardware, is the same as the time given by the get date time vi, when it is written to a file, the data and times are matched up.

The Trace Execution Toolkit will do that.

You could also use NI Spy to log the serial traffic.

where can I find those tools?

Execution Trace Tool kit is an add-on. If you don't have it your pack of disks, ... maybe try a demo version?

NI Spy get loaded with LV (or one of those things).

Start >>> Programs >>> National intruments >>> NI Spy ?
