Data logging time stamp incorrect

[BrianVod]

I am having an issue changing the time stamp when data logging to excel. It seems every time I try to set time to "now" labview freezes up. I can add the time stamp later but I would like to know if anyone is having this issue.

Difficult to tell the cause without seeing the code. 

Attach your VI and people can debug for you.

Here is the pic of the code. If I try to change the date settings of the set Dynamic Attributes, that's when it freezes up. I can still move thing around in LabView but I cannot close down the window that sets the attribute settings at all. I let run for about 15 minutes figuring it was just slow but that wasnt the case.

Here is the image of the date stamp that I cannot change for some reason. It starts with the correct date then goes back to a default.

Here is the window that causes it freeze, "Only if I try to do anything with the date settings" .

When you select the "Timestamp" checkbox in the "Configure Set Dynamic Data Attributes" window then it will add a timestamp input to the "Set Dynamic Data Attributes" function. You can use the "Get Date/Time in Seconds" primitive to get the timestamp.

Right now you are including the timestamp in the data but because you aren't giving the function a timestamp each iteration it's just using the default value.

Yes sir that did the the trick.

Thank you very much!
