get time

Please look at the attached .vi and the output.txt. This .vi working fine, but however i want to get the actual system time instead of the time interval. Eg temperature 74.38 taken at 17.23.23 (time hh/mm/ss). Also i want it to write that data to the file as same order as output.txt shown (with the actual time with out time intervals). Please help , Thank you!

All you have to do is stick the function Get Date/Time String into the For loop and format it the way you want. Convert the temperature array to a string array before the build array function and you're all done. The Get Data/Time String function is on the Time & Dialog palette.

One way to do this would be to convert the numeric to a string and concatenate it with the date time string (using the"get date/time" VI. Attached is a screenshot that demonstrates this.

You have the same data types going into the build array function. That's why I said to convert the termperature reading to a string. Use the Number to Franctional String function to convert an array of DBLs to an array of strings.
