How can I create and read a table with contents of x-y-z positions?

[GG RA]

Hello,

I want to create and read a table of positions for a x-y-z positioning system. To create it I want a user interface where can be chosen of distance from point to point, the size of the plane (if 2D)/cube (if 3D) and so on. Later my LV programme is supposed to read the values for each axis out of this file and command the motors to these positions. My problem is how to create such a file and how to read the single rows. I also want to know in which row the system works at the moment.

If anyone can give some advice I'd be very grateful.

Hello GG RA,

which fileformat do you want to use (binary or ASCII)?
There are some LabVIEW shipping examples for File I/O
You could use the LabVIEW NI Example Finder (Help --> Find Examples..(search item "file")) to get an overview about the different file-formats in LabVIEW.
Hope this helped out and feel free to reply if you have more questions about File I/O in LabVIEW

Best regards
Benjamin
