Titling Excel Columns in Write to Measurement

[rhammerquist]

I am new to LabVIEW so please bear with me. 

I am trying to name the columns in the excel spreadsheet that is generated when running our VI. It is essentially some thermocouples, a torque transducer, a flow meter, a pressure sensor, and an efficiency calculation that is all part of a syngas fueled engine test stand. I have read things about using the dynamic attributes but the names do not seem to stick, even when I name the different channels when the dynamic attributes express VI is unwired.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Stop using Express VI's and Dynamic Data! 

Use the "Write Delimited Spreadsheet vi" and the proper data type

Write your column headers to your file first, they are just a row of strings

Then write the rows of numeric data as you need
