I'm looking at the NI-DCPower Single Source with Trig Meas.vi example and I'm noticing there is no timestamp for the measurments. Is it possible to have that timestamped on the instrument?

Hi AbandoningCausality
Unfortunately, there's not a way to do this built into the NI DCPower driver. However, there's a few options.
The best option is if you have a timing card in your chassis. You can incorporate the Time Stamp Trigger.vi code (another shipping example that uses NI-SYNC) and route the same trigger to the timing card as well and which will get the timestamps.
If you do not have a timing card, you will have to use a software dependent method, possibly using the Get Date/Time or Tick Count (ms) functions. This will definitely be less accurate, so you'll need to take your system requirements into consideration here.
