Hello All,
         I am trying to use the NI cDAQ-9172 with a NI-9422 module and I am trying to figure out if the following can be done with LabVIEW.  What I need to do is whenever I get a signal on the NI-9422 I want to time stamp the signal with the current date and time.  The input into the NI-9422 is a part sensor off of a product line.  Also, I will need to monitor the NI-9422 for about a 24hr. period to collect the data that I get with each timestamp.  Is it possible to save this data to an excel or a sheadsheet?  Any help with this would appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi Brandon,
yes it is possible to do what you want. Search for DAQmx in the example finder. See the small example, it shows how to read a digital value with time information.
