Did you mean: 

is this a cluster of data , how to plot it?

Hello Dear forum fellows,

 

I want your help regarding the attached figure. The vi i have is used to extract data from agilent spectrum analyzer. As shown in figure, the point shown by the arrow gives 460 samples at the ouput which is plotted on the wvfrm graph. My problem here is how can i save this data using a file, i dont know how to process this data so that it is stored as column ?

 

Secondly the vi generates 460 automatically, how can i plot more than 460 samples ? I am using a for loop to run this code and get more data.

It looks like a cluster.  The way you can find out is to move the wiring tool over the wire with the Context Help window open. The datatype of the wire will be listed in the window.

 

Try to keep the Context Help window open while you are programming. The amount of useful information in that little box is amazing.

 

As for the number of samples, you may need to read the Agilent manual.

You should start with the on-line tutorials for Getting Started with LabVIEW.  Your questions make it appear that you have very little experience with LV.

It is essentially the same as the waveform data type. So, you can just use the unbundle by name and then a Build Waveform.
