writing complex numbers using "write to measurement file"

[koodave]

i am trying to wrtie the complex numbers i generated using "write to measurement file".

The problem is i need to seperate the real and imaginary part of the numbers first before i can connect the results (write my data) to the "write to measurement file" function.

Is there a way to write the complex numbers directly using "write to measurement file" function?

Thanks in advance for answering my question.

You have found one of the disadvantages of using Express VI's.  While they can be great for beginners to get some code up and running quickly, they aren't designed to handle every situation you can throw at it.

Exactly how do you want the complex number to look in the file?  You will need to separate the real and imaginary parts to be able to use the express VI.

thanks for the comments
actually i want to write data in a complex form, both real and imaginary together as one data in a column.

There may be an easier way, but you can do a conversion to stings and save that.

Sorry, I forgot to initialise the shift register with an empty string !!

Use the "Array To Spreadsheet String" function for simpler code:
