Executing binary file which has a waveform graf output and should be displayed without any change of axes

[Kirit]

If one is not clear with the subject.

I will brief it up. We have Test rig which has cFP controllers and labview for automation & control.

The output of the test is a waveform graph showing the behaviour of the component.

We cannot change the axes or zoom to a particular area on the Graph as it is *.exe file

application. But for analysis we need that. That data file is saved as binary file.

I want to know whether there is any provision in labview to read the same binary file and display the same chart with axes that can be altered.

We have got labview7.1 version and later we want to upgrade for 8.5 version which has more features.

What i mean of change of axes is : For example : X-axis ---------time---------right now it is Absolute time mode should change to relative or floating point  time mode in seconds.

                                                                                Y-axis----------cc/min------changed to cc/sec

Please can anybody dig me out.

Thank you in advance

If you know the format of the data, then you can read it using the File I/O functions and simply display the data using a LabVIEW graph. Do you know the format of the binary file?

Format of the binary file is not known. I tried to read it through the Binary file read example but the problem is , i can't get the y-axis readings as given in the original file.

Well, if you don't know what the format of the binary file is, that makes things a bit more difficult. Can you post one or two sample files? Someone here may be able to figure it out.

If you know the data type that is being written to the binary file then you know the data type when reading the binary file.  You do essentially the same process required to write to the binary file in reverse.
