Modified Waveform Scalar Multiple Limit Comparison VI

[rgeiger]

Hello,

I am fairly new to LabVIEW and need to create a module to be used when testing equipment.

I need to read data from a .txt file and then compare each data point to a limit.

I only need to read the text file starting at the line that says "data:" and every line after that. If the data point is greater than the limit, I need it to be flagged as a failure. Each data point needs to be compared to a different limit, they are not all being compared to the same limit. Once the module finishes comparing the data, I need it to generate an additional .txt file with the failure reports.

I know there are several ways to achieve this, but what structures does the community suggest I use for the simplest VI?

Thank you,

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Use a FOR loop to iterate over all lines/rows in your text file…

In range and coerce can accept arrays on all three inputs,  however,  you may want to auto index in a for loop anyhow so you can use conditional output tunnels ( or a conditional channel wire writer) to select the failures to write to the new report.
