I've tried that out briefly and it's close to what I need. However, there are still a few things I'd like to try and add and still have questions and need help on. I'm not sure how to add the updated and correct date and time stamp as a header and in the file name. Also I'd like the option to save data when I want to via a boolean button like I had with the LVM. I only want this because this suits great for the application that I will use my vi's in. Also when the data is imported to a spreadsheet program it runs across in one row, not in a column like I had in the LVM, I'm not sure if this is just a matter of a string constant somewhere.
I'm not sure if what I mentioned above is able to be handled by the other functions or not. In the LVM my main concern dealt with the data and time. For some reason it wasn't being displayed in a normal format like xx/xx/xx or hh:mm:ss for example. It was all in a decimal form. I used Axum to import my LVM files and the date and time headers were not being displayed right, however in Excel it seemed to be. I'm not sure what might cause this problem. I'd still like to remove those other headers though. And the timestamp in the file name seemed to update very fast not on normal time (pc clock time or any regular clock time). If I saved multiple files in a minute they file names didn't reflect this, it updated the names as if minutes had gone by. I wasn't sure if this could be fixed in the manner I had found earlier. If so I'd need some guidance on how to fix these issues in the "new" LVM.
Thanks for your help, I'll keep working at the code and see if I can get things to work.
