Wavefrom data type to excel

[lildes]

I am trying to capture data off an oscilloscope and write to a csv or txt.

I have tried adding an invoke node but it doesn't allow me to add notes, timestamp etc.

I have attempted to use waveform to spreadsheet.vi but some reason the spreadsheet string is grayed out. How can I enable it?

Currently the vi runs and doesn't stop...

Can you please help.

Thanks

Currently the vi runs and doesn't stop...  When it runs, what does it do?  Does it write anything?  Does it "stall"? Where does it get stuck?  [I see no loop, so it must stop somewhere -- can you pinpoint the place it gets hung?  Where is the "sticking point"?
