DAQ Assistant Data to String

I am trying to take data from the DAQ assistant and create a string of data to be used in another part of my program, however I am unsure how to do this. I am currently using the "Get Waveform Component" to get the Y value of the data coming out of the DAQ assistant and then using the "Get Digital Data Components" to attempt to convert the data into a string somehow.

 

Any Suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Do you want one string, or an array of strings, or something else?

You can convert a number to a string (or an array of numbers to an array of strings) with the String/Number Conversion pallette.

Todd_Lesher is on the right track with this.  You will want to take the wire from the "Get Waveform Component" and wire it to something like a "Number To Fractional String."  This will output an array of strings.  If instead you just want a long string will all the values, you could use a For Loop with an Auto-Indexed Tunnel.  From this, convert each value into a string and use the "Concatenate Strings" function with the result being passed back into the function using Shift Register.  Hope this helps!

I would just use Array to Spreadsheet String.
