read data from file and preview plot while browsing folder

Solved!
Go to solution

Dear community,

 

Is it possible to browse files within a folder (text files containing saved xy data in a 2 column format) and previewing the corresponding xy plot instantly? this is to quickly visualize data from different files while browsing the folder, without the need for opening each of them.

 

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Hi Ricardo, you can make a file browser VI pretty easily. Use "list folder" to get the files and folders at a given path. You can populate a listbox with the file names, and when you make a listbox selection plot the data. Depending on the file size, it may appear to be instantaneous.
