Hello all,
I have 4 accelerometers and 8 thermistors feeding through a serial com board communicating through USB. I have a MATLAB runtime that currently parses the files but the programming is very in depth and I am not framiliar with it. My question is: How does one go about using labview or another NI product to parse signal output data from PUTTY and be able to display it in the form of a signal for processing? When I use putty to communicate with the sensors a file is saved with all of the data recieved from the sensors. I am kind of a newbie regarding labview and signal processing in general.
Thank you for your time.

Oh here is a example of the output I am getting from Putty and need to Parse.

Why would you want to use PuTTY? You can use the built-in serial functions in LabVIEW.

I dont necessarily want to use putty but it is the method that I have been using. So there is a way that I can read signal output from 12 different sensors through a USB cable and feed it directly into labview. Can you provide me with some info and links regarding this?

Just do a search the shipping examples for 'serial'. You will need to provide the specifics of the serial acquisition board you are using - i.e. the commands to do a read, the format of the data, etc. Also search the forum. There are thousands of posts on serial. Narrow it down by adding 'hex' to the search parameter as that appears to be the format you are getting.
