Read from Measurement file

[namensreich-spam]

hello together,
i´m sitting here since an unbelievable time to solve my LabView problem.
Maybe you can give me a hint?
My problem is to display a chart from a text based measurement file
with some paramenters like date/time and pH, Stirrer rpm and so on.
I think, that the time in the first column has a strange format, so that the
vi "Read from Measurement file" can not recognize it right and the trend of the multiple
lines are only verticals. i´ve tried much different choices in the
dialog box and block diagramm inputs, also in the front panal.
please be so kind and give me a jump start.

Wrong forum! I asked the moderator to move it to the LabVIEW forum. Stay tuned.

It appears to me that this is not an LVM file, just some data exported to a tab delimited format and renamed to LVM.  Use the Read from Spreadsheet File VI to read the file in as a string array and go from there.

Hi,

thank you for your posting. i´ll try the spreadsheet vi.

Hi namensreich,

one more note: your "LVM" file is written using UNICODE encoding. This will be a bigger problem when you try to load this file in LabVIEW.

You need to convert it to plain ASCII to easy handling in LabVIEW! (WordPad is able to do this, see attachment.)

Next point: I recommend to use the point as decimal separator instead of your currently used comma…

Try to start with a file load routine like this to load the ASCII version of your data file:
