Average Data from multiple text files

[Advait]

I am new to labVIEW hence a little help is appreciated:

I have a 100 txt files with two columns (tab separated) for X and Y value.

I need to average the Y values to generate one single txt file and generate X versus Y graph.

So how do I read the data from these text files? (without having to select each one of them individually) and how to average the data and create a XY graph from it?

Thanks in advance

There is a List Folder function in the File I/O palette that will return an array of filenames.  Feed that array into a For Loop to open and read each file in turn.  Place in a new file, build an array with it, process the data, or do whatever you want.

Thanks 🙂

I managed to get the average in one text file.....tab separated X and Y values. How should I plot a X vs Y waveform?

Use X-Y Graph.

You were able to get two arrays of X and Y points from text file right?
