I finally got my vi to write to a file in a reasonable form, but when I open it in excel, it puts everything into one column, when I need 3.
Also, I STILL can't get the stupid thing to only write to the file once a minute, on the minute mark. It's driving me nuts. Help on either problem is appreciated.

Figured out the first problem all by myself! I inserted a tab function after every input on my concatenate function.
But the pesky "record every minute on the minute mark" still exists.

Your counter triggers a save to file on every 60th count, which with a loop time of 50mSec means every three seconds. Which is what was told to you in the other thread mentioned above (I was answering this one when that response was posted, didn't know about the other thread).

Writing on the minute every minute is very difficult without a real-time OS. Here is an example that will get you very close.
