How do I rename channel in VI

[wipertale]

Could someone explain to me in a basic way .How to rename the merged channel names in the attched VI.

By default they read Untitled , Untitled_1 , and so on. I want to give them logic names like Coil Temp, Battery Temp etc...

Thanks

 Can you post the image of your Vi's block diagram. For some reason I am not able to open it. What version of LV are you using?

You need to set the waveform attribute as shown here. You could also use the Write to Spreadsheet function and write the headers before writing the data.

I have attached the JPEG of the VI

Why post another image when you have already posted one, a VI, gotten an answer.

If you insist on using Write to Measurement File and insist on having channel names, you must use the procedure I linked to. At least give it a try before posting back.
