Saving complex numbers?

[Azazel]

Hello all,

I need to save a calibration file...simple enough, but my calibration file is an array of complex numbers. I tried to find the proper precession (ie. %.3f) but I couldn't locate the precession extension for complex numbers. When I try to save the array I loose all of my complex numbers...so how do you save an array with complex numbers?

Thanx

I think you have to separate out the real and imaginary and save a 2 column array.

Hi,

You can try the attached VI which is a modified version of Write to Spreadsheet File function so that you can now write complex numbers to a spreadsheet or text file.

Hi,

how about using the XML functions? With this I found it very easy to save and recover any data I want... (look under advanced/data manipulation/xml)

Thanks all for the help, I went with the 2 column spreadsheet approach.
