How to read .dat file and display on a chart.

The problem isn't LabVIEW, the problem is deciphering how your old instrument created the DAT file, and how the data are stored inside the file.  For example, your .LST file shows a Message of "20A7-01-0180 BA67             " (with blanks) at Byte 648.  Much of the rest of the file appears to be 16-bit integer data, all non-negative and mostly less than 512.  There was nothing that screamed "I'm an Array Size", but I might have missed it.

 

Do you have any clue what data were being written and in what format?  Since these are binary data, the data format is crucial for interpreting the bits.
