saving extended data

[1LabViewNewbie1]

Hi,

I've recently built a vi that reads voltages from a photodiode, plots them on a graph and then saves them to a text file. Everything works fine, apart from the saving. The graph displays the data correctly, but when I save it only writes to 10-3 rather than the full extended value. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

There is a coercion dot appearing at the input of the 2-d array which makes me wonder as to what is the representation of the data from the 2-D array.

You can manipulate the format input on top of the subVI to specify how to convert the numbers into characters. Have a look at the Detailed Help of the subVI. Also, I would recommend posting the code so we can understand the issue better.

Hi

You problem is quite common 😉 In your labview environment activate "show context help" by typing Ctrl+h, then place the mouse pointer over your "Write To Spreadsheet File VI" Select detailed help. Emphasize on the format input.

Good luck
