Using a data output file as an input file for test development

I have an output file from a system that I would like to use to simulate the device being attached to the computer.  Using the read module I can input the entire file into the charting module, but it reads the entire file.  Is there a way setup the input to read one line approx. once per second and chart it (i.e.. A 3600 line file would take approx. 1 hour to read and chart)?


Thanks in advance.

Set up the Read module to only read once per second or minute....

If you're reading a DDF file, it will always read back a full block of data, so you want to have stored the data at one sample/block. One way to do that is to read it back and write is out as ASCII, so that DASYLab loses the block size context.
