Need help with Time Stamps and saving Strings in Excel

[Sanjaymm]

Hi, Am learing LabView now....and my task is

Everytime start button is pressed, a Random number must be generated.

The Random number is to be staroed in an Excel sheet such that the Random Number is in the first column and Time at which it was generated in the second column...

I used to work with Agilent Vee before and am finding it hard to adjust to LabView 😞

Thanks

Sanjay

Hi,

 I have attached a vi... I Guess that will give you an idea to meet your need... Use an Event structure for capturing the start button status and do the coding inside that....

Am using LabView 8.6 😞

[P@Anand]

Am making the same mistake again......

Here yougo in LV 8.5 version....

[Sanjaymm]

Why did they have to switch from Agilent Vee to Lab View 😞

Life was far more simpler back then ...............

[P@Anand]

I Guess the NI people can Answer this question better..... What JK1 whats your opinion.....?????

Life will be much more simpler + Happy when you learn LabVIEW (Joy of coding)....

[Sanjaymm]

One last question...what is the purpose of the case structure here??

[P@Anand]

That I have used to give the Headings to the columns...( as you see after running the code)..

There seems to be no undo button here in LabView 😞

The Program asks for a file to write.... I choose "test.xls" on the desktop but the the dialogbox keeps appearing again and again
