read text on pocket pc PDA

I have been reading various issues on reading text on the PDA but I can't seem to solve it. When I run the VI on the desktop, everything runs perfect. But when I put it on the PDA, nothing works. I'm attaching the VI and the text file that I am using on the desktop. I looked at the text file on the PDA itself and it looks different that when I transfer it to the desktop. It gets converted somehow. Anyways, I've also attached an example of how the text looks on the PDA. Please help.

Hi Marcos,

I hope you are doing well today! I have the PDA module on my computer but don't have access to a PDA right now. What happens when you build a random array of 1000 elements and display that on your PDA? Does it still give you an inconsistent graph?

I actually can't read anything on the PDA when I select the text file. I have tried every which way I could think of to save data and read data. But I don't know what the problem is. Every method I use on the desktop works, but as soon as I transfer to PDA, I can't read anything. Attached is the VI that I use to acquire data. I use the standard acquire multiple analog signals vi for the pda but I added the index array function to separate the array into its three signals that I had coming into the CF-6004. Then I convert those arrays into strings that are tab delimited and into the save binary file. (I even tried to save at text file but I get the same results and problems). So when I recorded data, it was at 500 samples per channel and I had 4 acquisitions per signal. So signal 0 generates a text file with 4 different blocks of 500 samples a piece. The example of the text file is in the previous message I left. However this is how it looks when I transfer from PDA to desktop. When I look at the data directly on the PDA, the data is formed the same way. But I can't read it on the PDA. When I tried reading using the read text file vi ( with some slight modifications) for the PDA, nothing comes out. I can't see the time stamp, which would be the very first data point. However, what is odd is that I can move the cursor on the time stamp box 4 rows. No more and no less. Which means the text reader knows that there are 4 blocks of data that it needs to read, but it is just not displaying the data. What do you suppose is the problem?

Hi Marcos,

What version of DAQmx Base driver are you using? And, what model of PDA do you have?
