Why won't my Set Dynaminc Data Attributes timestamp my data

Using LabView 2011. Built a program that uses a DAQ Assistant to read some sensors. Output is a Dynamic Data Array. Using the Write to Measurement File Express vi to log the data. Set the X Value (time) Columns to One Column only. Result: I get the dt value in the X Value column. How do I get it to display the timestamp instead?
I have tried inserting a Set Attributes express vi between the DAQ Assistant and the Write to Measurement file and selected Start timestamp. No effect. Selected Timestamp under signal index. Nope. That didn't work. Tried setting them both. Still no luck.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced,
Dean

You are NOT going to belive this. After spending the afternoon writing VIs for handling existing filenames and exporting waveforms to spreadshet files, I start mucking around with the string because it is putting a blank line between the DAQ reads (5 rows for 5 samples, then a blank row and then the acquisition loops again). In the process of testing (removing the extra carriage returns in the string) I start getting Excel files that no longer have the date or hour, just the minutes and seconds. Wt?
Turns out, Excel sometimes does that. Format the cells using the custom feature and chose dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.00 and suddenly its all back to normal.
To add to my frustration I went back to the original data file my student was complaining about and formatted the cells and guess what? The standard express vi's export the date, hour, minutes, seconds. All you have to do is use the custom cell format in excel.
However, the standard express vis will still drop those stupid blank rows in your data.
Thanks for your assistance Dennis. I hope my frustrations as noted above will be of some use to you in the future.
Best regards,
Dean

    Why can't I set month, date and time on my imessage?

    The way the date/time was displayed was changed in iOS7. There had been numerous complaints about not having a date/time stamp on all posts, so it was changed to display the time for all by sliding the post to the left. They left the date stamp to show differently. I couldn't tell you what it does for posts more than a week old, as I never save my messages that long.
    Meg's post provides for software where you could move the SMS to the computer and it should contain a full date/time stamp on it.

  • Why can I not set a member attribute when there is only one child below the member?

    Why can I not set a member attribute when there is only one child below the member?The "member attribute" tab on the properties window of App Manager is grayed out. What am I forgetting?TIA,Craig Wahlmeier

    Most likely because Essbase is creating an implicit share relationship between the two members, which is causing the association tab to be grayed out. Tag the parent member with the "Never Share" attribute and see if that fixes the problem.Regards,Jade-----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • Why won't Firefox Sync add data to a new profile?

    I have been following the advice on [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=sync this] article. It has told me to make a new profile and set up my Sync account on that profile.
    I have done all of this, and I have followed all of the steps correctly. However, the new profile will not download all of my data from the server. Why is this?
    I am using the latest nightly of Firefox 4 (2011-01-08).

    Thanks but perhaps I didn't explain the problem well.
    I was on the Google page, and put in the item I was searching for, clicked search and got a page or many pages of potential sites that would fit my query. But if I clicked on one of the sites, I couldn't click back to the Google page, the back arrow was gray. It doesn't happen all the time, only occasionally. Guess it's just a problem with some sites.

  • Why can't I set the date and time insert to the format I want?

    I would like the date to be formatted in the short form on my docs.  However whenever I insert date and Time it always come out  at the long form i.e.
    Monday, 15 April 2013.
    Right clicking allows me to edit it but the next time I inset it the long form re-appears.
    I've tried to do it via the system preferences > language and text > region > customise  route but the same thing thing happens.  I choose the short form at the top of the choices but it still comes out in the long form on the docs.
    Only a minor point but it is irritating 'cos it should be simple (probably is 'cept I'm a bit slow).
    I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3
    Thanks

    Wilfred.   I found this in one of the More like this posts   >>>>>  opposite your first post.  It might apply if you are on Pages 08.   Insert Date/Time: Apple Support Communities
    I would never have thought of double or right clicking on the date itself.  I haven't tested it to see what formats exist.   One last suggestion, if we don't resolve it here, write a new post and put it in the iWork pages columns.   There you may meet up with the gurus in that persuasion.

  • Why won't Pages set uneven margins for binding a booklet?

    I have set up a booklet, mostly with pictures, with a page size of 5.5 x 8.5. I want a wider inside margin for binding the booklet. Pages 09 lets me select this margin, but it doesn't appear on the screen. I am planning to have this booklet printed by a professional printer, not on my own printer. How can I make this work?
    I am using 10.6.8.

    Beth,
    First, I suspect from your picture that you may be working with a Page Layout document, which would seem appropriate for the subject matter. In that case, margins are pretty much irrelevant because they apply to the main text layer, which doesn't exist. All objects in Page Layout are floating and can be positioned anywhere, including off the page. You just center the left pages on (in your example) on a layout line 4" from the left edge of the page and the right pages on a line at 4 ½."
    It's a little hard to see from your photo, but the ruler measurements don't seem to have any relationship to your page so there may be some other issue here. (If you type Command Shift 4, you get a cursor which you can drag across the screen to capture a screenshot, which will be easier and more readable.)

    Lois

    Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
    Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
    Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
    SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.

  • Using attribute as a set of data and parsing this data

    Hi everyone,
    I present below a (little) challenge with the use of attributes in XQuery. Consider the following XML document:
    <showroom>
    <car id="1">
    <name>Clio</name>
    <family>Renault</family>
    </car>
    <car id="n">
    <name>Q5</name>
    <family>Audi</family>
    </car>
    </showroom>
    Each client of the showroom is identified by a unique Id (e.g., 1,2,3,....). Then, i want to add some data to my XML document which should represent, for each car, the set of all clients' Id that have rented this car.
    The desired XML document could look like this:
    <showroom>
    <car id="1">
    <name>Clio</name>
    <family>Renault</family>
    +*<history>*+
    +*<client id="2"/>*+
    +*<client id="23"/>*+
    +*</history>*+
    </car>
    <car id="n">
    <name>Q5</name>
    <family>Audi</family>
    +*<history>*+
    +*<client id="56"/>*+
    +*</history>*+
    </car>
    </showroom>
    However, by using elements in order to represent the rental historic, the document's size will increase significantly.
    As i use only the clients' id, are there any way to represent the history data using only attributes ?+.
    In the following document, the clients' id are represented, as a set, through the attribute +@history+:
    <showroom>
    <car id="1" history="2,23">
    <name>Clio</name>
    <family>Renault</family>
    </car>
    <car id="n" history="56">
    <name>Q5</name>
    <family>Audi</family>
    </car>
    </showroom>
    However, are there any way to check if a given car of id='x' has been rented by a client of Id='y' ?+.
    Does someone know how to represent the history data (sequence of clients' id), using only attributes, and how to look for a given client's id as explained above ?
    Please suggest. I appreciate your help.

    The two following documents represent examples of the showroom data and the clients' data respectively:
    First document:
    <showroom>
    <car id="1">
    <name>Clio</name>
    <family>Renault</family>
    </car>
    <car id="n">
    <name>Q5</name>
    <family>Audi</family>
    </car>
    </showroom>
    Second document:
    <clients>
    <client id="2">
    <name>...</name>
    <firstname>...</firstname>
    <driverLicence serialNumber="2156311"/>
    </client>
    </clients>
    The DTDs of these documents are defined as follows:
    The showroom DTD:
    <!ELEMENT showroom (car)*>
    <!ELEMENT car (name,family)>
    <!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
    <!ELEMENT family (#PCDATA)>
    <!ELEMENT N3 (#PCDATA)>
    <!ATTLIST car id ID #REQUIRED>
    The clients DTD:
    <!ELEMENT clients (client)*>
    <!ELEMENT client (name,firstname,driverLicence)>
    <!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
    <!ELEMENT firstname (#PCDATA)>
    <!ELEMENT driverLicence EMPTY>
    <!ATTLIST client id ID #REQUIRED>
    <!ATTLIST driverLicence serialNumber ID #REQUIRED>
    Whenever a car is rented, I must add some information either in the same showroom document (it will be better for me) or in another document which relies rented car id with the id of the client which rented this car.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

    I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

  • IPhoto 11 (9.3) Why won't date range work for 2012?

    We upgraded to the new iMac and iPhoto 11 a couple weeks ago.
    The Smart Albums look to have converted correctly, including the ones I created for any one years' photos "All - 2011," "All - 2010," and "All - Best of 2009," etc.
    Those converted albums contain photos. That is good.  That another album does not contain photos is confusing.
    I created a new "All - 2012," with the criteria "Data is in the range 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2012," and get no photos.
    Scrolling up to "Last 12 months" shows 7,500+, ~ 3,600 of which are 2012.
    So I just tried something...
    "Date is after 1/1/2011" and got an album of all 2011 photos, stopping at New Years Eve / 12/31... there are no 2012 photos.
    Why won't it show 2012 photos?
    It's the same camera.  A large number of the 2012 photos converted into iPhoto; only a few weeks' worth have been imported into iPhoto straight from the camera since the conversion.
    I just don't see a pattern that's causing this.
    On a related note... in iPhoto '11, are the icons for all albums, events, Faces, etc. grey?  Or should the smart album icon be purple, regular albums blue, etc?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    It's the same camera.  A large number of the 2012 photos converted into iPhoto; only a few weeks' worth have been imported into iPhoto straight from the camera since the conversion.
    On the basis of eliminating the obvious first - check the date reported on any of these shots, and the date on the camera.
    in iPhoto '11, are the icons for all albums, events, Faces, etc. grey?  Or should the smart album icon be purple, regular albums blue, etc?
    This is by design. iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let them know what you think.

  • HT5957 I've deleted data from my iCloud and purchased the 10 gb plan. Why won't my I phone5 let me now update to ios7??

    I've deleted all data from my I cloud acct. purchased the 10 gb plan. Why won't my I phone let's load the new iOS 7?  It says I need 3.9 gb of room which is why I deleted all I cloud info. Does it need tr to register the changes?

    Did you get a message on your phone about not enough storage space and therefore could not update the iOS?
    The storage space referred to in a message like that is the space on your device. It is not the amount of iCloud storage you have. What you need to do is delete enough files, photos, videos, apps etc. from your iPhone so as to free up enough space on the phone so that you can download the update.
