Continuously Recording Thermocouple Data to Report

[ee_hokie]

Hello,

I am trying to cotinously record thermocouple data and generate an Excel report using the Report Generation tool box. The problem I am having is currently I am only able to capture the final data upon clicking the stop botton. How can I continously collect every data point and insert them into the

table?

I am using Labview 2011 (but I have 2010 still installed if that is a problem) on XP and I am aquiring the data using a NI 9211.

Thanks

You might want to post it as LV2010 or earlier until people (like me) get a chance to upgrade. I mean 2011 only came out this week.

But the most helpful people have probably already upgraded.

Sorry I posed the wrong file. Here is the 2010 compatable file.

You are not closing the report. But I think the problem is that you need to wire the report object reference to a shift register. It's a good idea to do that with the error wire as well.

The shift registers are good design, but I think the core issue is writing to the same Start pos. It needs to be incremented like this.

Edit: To the Left, that blue wire is comming from the iteration terminal of the loop.

Correction to my post above... that will work, however, there's an Iteration terminal on the VI. Just wire to that!

Thanks Broken Arrow I completly over looked that, it works great!

(obviously) I did too at first! It's a nice feature, which I never use because I use the more "raw" ActiveX wrapper VI's for writing to Excel. Probably no real performance gain - just what I'm used to.
