Extending decimal points on timestamp for write to measurement file .vi

Hello Everyone

 

Currently I am collecting a bunch of Fieldpoint Channels in LabVIEW (about 190) which is a lot of instrumentation. Right now we want to be sure the computer can keep up and read all of the channels every second. To test this theory I want to use the WTMF to get a timestamp for every channel (seems to be the easiest way).

 

While reading the file I get like 5.68 so two decimal places. I was wondering if there was a way to get a more accurate time reading down to the millisecond. I know this is three places after the decimal point, but I was hoping I could extend this to 5-6 places past the decimal point.

 

Usually when saving data I use the write to spreadsheet with one time column and can just format the readings through that, but for some reason I cannot figure this out with the WTMF

 

If there is any input to check these time differences besides doing the above, that would also be appreciated.

 

Any input would be amazing.

 

Thanks so much

Tanya
