report generator and timestamp

[aspoo]

I am trying to use the report generator for LabVIEW 6, but I'm not very succesful. The first problem is that I should precisely timestamp the data that I logged. Doing this in LabVIEW is no problem, but when I generate an excel report, all I get is the hour formatted as a decimal. And in excel I do not find how to display milliseconds. I found the precise timestamp on the NI site, and it generates timestamps up to milliseconds. But this is not so bad.

An other problem is that I do not manage to get a chart going in excel using the report generator, tables go allright, but where do my charts go to?

Can somebody help me? Tanks!

I do not have a direct answer to this one but I CAN tell you that if you are finding limitations in using Excel, which seems to be the case, perhaps you should consider DIAdem from National Instruments. It is a techincal Data Management tool that far exceeds excel in Data processing and allows for "Time" channels with the correct formatting. When used in conjuction with LabVIEW it makes a great data analysis package.
