Copying data from Matlab file

[OEdwards]

I have a large data set created from a Matlab Simulation that I want to use in a lookup table in my Labview application.  Is there a way to select data (i.e. click and drag) from a table format such as the Matlab Array Editor or MS Excel and paste it into a Labview array?  I could export each matlab variable into a text file, then import the data from the text file with a File I/O VI, but I was hoping somehow I could skip this intermediate.  Since the final application will be run on a real time system, I'd rather have the data saved as array constants anyways than innundate my application with I/O routines

Does anyone have any hints or clues?

Hello,

I don't use Matlab very often but LabVIEW yes, and I've never heard of a "click and drag" possibility for array value into LabVIEW...

I'm sorry I do think you'll have to develop a "read_array.vi", but this is far from being complicated, an easy way of doint is using the "read file.vi" iwith line mode activated.

See attached example, you might have to adapt it a bit to the matlab file format wich I don't really konw
Let me know if ot helps

Hi OEdwards,

Congratulations with your first thread!

To inform you, there's currently no way of copy/paste or drag/drop data into multiple elements of an array at once. However, it sounds like a feature that many people would value, so please submit it to the LabVIEW developers as a Product Suggestion using the "feedback" link on www.ni.com/contact, thanks.

Have fun and don't stop posting!
