labview 6 - saving dbl precision spreadsheet data

[labstew]

Hello,

I recently had to revamp an old vi our R&D department was using to log some data.  I basically re-designed the whole thing and it works excellent, I just have one problem.  I am using the write to spreadsheet file function and in LV6 this writes data in sgl precision.  I write one line that is a timestamp, and when it is represented in sgl, the value is wrong.  Does anyone know how I can get DBL precision data in this function, or know how I convert a SGL precision number to what it should be if it was represented in DBL?  I ll admit I am somewhat confused by the whole thing.

Thanks,

Andrew

On the front panel of the function, right click on one of the numerics in either the 2D data array or 1D data array and select Representation>DBL. Repeat for the other array. Save the modified VI as with a new name and in a different location.
