Copying Probe Data To Notepad

[testdesign]

Hi everyone, 

A lot of times when debugging code I want to copy probe data to notepad (text file).  I right click on the probe data I want to copy and select "Copy Data" but when I try to paste the data into a text file it doesn't paste.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks so much!

"Paste" the data from the probe watch window to a blank vi Block diagram rather than notepad..

Actually that's probably a little known feature of the PWW.  But it works well

Thanks Jeff Bohrer.  Sometimes though you want to send this information over to someone else while trying to debug code.  Is there a way to pull the data from the Probe window and into notepad?

You might vote for this idea - Right-clic​k -> Copy Data should copy TEXT data

Hi all,

I'm no expert and as I regularly rely on the many good folks on these forums to help me out, I thought I'd take the opportunity to share how solved this as I don't often have much to contribute.

My approach...  "Copy Data" from a right click on the probe...  paste it into blank VI... wire it to "Write to Spreadsheet File VI"... gave it a filename...  and run it.  Then opened the resulting file in Notepad and begin copying and pasting to your hearts content.

Cheers, Iain
