While using HP 34401A Multimeter​, I'm trying to create a database but am having problems with it.

Hi, I'm trying to save the readings in a ASCII file by using in 'HP 34401A Getting Started.vi', a file provided in the instr.lib folder.
The multimeter reads the instruments correctly and displays it on the screen, but when I connect the wire to 'Write to Sreadsheet File.vi', it shows 0 in the ASCII file (which I open in Excel) yet showing the correct readings on the screen.
Any help is truley appreciated.
Kunal.

Kunal,
When using the "Write to Spreadsheet File.vi", make sure that you have the format parameter correct. You can find a list of the parameters by going to Help\Contents and Index\Index in LabVIEW and searching for "formatting". "Specifier Syntax in Strings" and "Format Specifier Examples" may be useful to you. Make sure that you have enough decimal places.
The LabVIEW User's Manual may also be of use to you. You'll find the link below.
