As a good beginner I’m trying to read data from an ASCII file (2 columns) and plot them using an XY graph. For this I’m using the "read from spreadsheet file" VI option. The main problem is that the output is a 2D array and for this reason I’m not able to connect it to a XY graph. I found an old answer that explain one way to do it (splitting the arrays and bundle them for input to the XY graph) as can be seem below.
“Drop an index node and grow it to have two index terminals for 2D arrays. Popup on one of the terminals and choose to disable it. This will index out a 1D array instead of a single element. Wire a constant, 0 or 1, to the other terminal. If you are slicing the array the wrong way, sw
ap the constant and the disabled terminal. Once you have two arrays, bundle them and wire to the graph. If you have other data to plot, make an array of the clusters.”
Direct to the point: What exactly means “index node“? I tried to find something similar trough the XY Graph examples but until now I couldn’t find a function that behaves in this way. Does someone have an idea about which function can be?
Thank you in advance
