how to get rid of unnecessary info in write to measurement file column headers

[edCubed]

Hi all,

I am using the write to measurement file VI to print data to an LVM file. I would like the printed data to look like this:

Volts                 Amps            Elapsed Time (ms)    Untitled   
    0.000000    2.430015E-9     44.000000                 1.000000
   -2.000000   -1.996195E-6     13141.000000           -1.000000
    0.000000    2.439286E-9     13462.000000           -1.000000
    0.000000    2.430883E-9     13722.000000            0.000000

But instead it looks like this:

LabVIEW Measurement

Reader_Version    2

Decimal_Separator    .

X_Columns    No

How can I get rid of unnecessary info in my headers?

I've attached a copy of my VI to this post.

Thanks for your help.

I'm assuming you've tried all of the different options when you configure the express VI. That being the case, you should just skip using the Write to Measurement File. It is purposely designed for a limited number of options and it is not a trivial task to edit the function. Much simpler to use some of the lower level file i/o functions such as Write to Spreadsheet File or Write to Text File.

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try and let you know if it works.

I had a feeling there was a much easier way to do this.
