Binary Headers in Binary Files Using LabVIEW

[Will_S.]

Overview

Demonstrates how to write and read from a binary file that makes use of header information above its data set.

Description

To read binary files you need to supply the information of the data type representation, normally a double or integer for the data, while the header should be a string. This example shows an easy way to add a string as a header to a binary file and still using an integer for the data.

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
