How do you add a header and timestamp in Labview 7?

I'm trying to do this:

and

in Labview 7. The problem is that in Labview 7, you cannot parse a string into the write to spreadsheet.vi.

Any thoughts? (yes i know i need to upgrade my version of labview)

Of course you can. The instructions are on the block diagram.

In older versions, "write to spreadsheet file" only accepted numeric arrays (SGL?).

All you need to do is use "array to spreadsheet string" and write the resulting string directly to a plain text file. See how far you get. 😉

OR, better yet- as the OP sugested----

Upgrade to LabVIEW 2011 next week  (trust me - you'll like 2011 MOST of Christian's inputs were implemented)
