Hi,
Can you open the ASCII (text) file? As Jason said above, there should be a dt value associated with the data. This value shows the time between samples. Also, look for a start and stop time (absolute time). From this you can tell when the data was sampled.

Yes of course the Ascii file can be opened. I have never had a problem opening it. The problem was that there was no time stamp placed next to each data point. The file simple provided a start time, stop time and dt. Originally the Ascii file was created after the data logging. The file was too large to import to Excel to use the spreadsheet to fill in the dt for each data point.
I made the changes above to automatically save to Ascii and reran a mock run of the data I want to log. This did not solve the problem. As before the start time, stop time, and dt were provided, but no timestamp for each data point. I was able to tell Single Express to only log so many data points, unfortunately this function was ignored as when I went to import in excel, the file was again too large. This time however Excel offered to open a portion of the data with an error to add the rest later.
I do not want to truncate the data to use in Excel and I do not want to use Single Express' playback function for my analysis. I simply want to pull the data out of Single Express, and use it in an analysis program of my selection such as Excel. Needing a timestamp next to a logged data point without having to manually go in and place it there is not a strange request. I am beginning to suspect Single Express simple does not provide this typical feature found in other data logging products.
