Datastream Data to Labview XY Graph

I am currently running a transmission percentage project for certain eyepieces on a Ceceil CE3055 Spectrophotometer and importing the data to Datastream.  From there I create a log and import this data to Labview and am having a lot of trouble getting this data to come up the way it should be on any of the graphing indicators.  I am using a stacked sequence structure, with a combination of file paths and string/array functions.  Also, I converted the data to text documents in Notepad for what I thought would be easier readibility but it all proved to be the same.  Please let me know if any of this sounds terribly wrong...

Your code can certainly help us understand your problem.

I have no idea what you expect for an answer. LabVIEW is capable of importing ANY data from ANY source and interpreting it in ANY way you need to (as well as ways you don't :-).

But you don't say what the problem is, so how can I provide a solution?

If you ask a better question, you'll get a better answer.

Ok, I will re-phrase...

I am completely lost (haha)

What I need, and have been attempting, is a 7-frame stacked sequence structure that can plot 6 files of data points on to one XY graph.  First slide containing the controlling file paths and Read Characters from File.vi, and I attach the string(s) to a sequence local.  Second slide has a Search/Split string getting the information I need and then convert the Spreadsheet String to Array and attach that to a sequence local.  That last step goes on for the next six frames getting all the information I need set up for the last frame.  I then use an Index Array to 3 Bundle Clusters, Build Array from the 3 clusters and wire that to my XY graph.

The six files I am using contain 360 wavelength points and 360 transmittance points, which should give me exponentially positive curves, yet I get a simple line with a slope of 1 that goes on for a little while.

I am attaching the file, but can't be certain it will work for any of you.  I had to save it from the lab computer and import it onto my own computer that does not have LabVIEW.

That file is the wrong file;  here is the correct one...

Sorry for the double post, computer is going extremely slow and goofy.

Okay, and what files are supposed to be for what path controls?
