Hello,
I notice that in labview, I can:
read/write to a SPREADSHEET
This requires FILE_PATH and FORMAT
I can also:
read/write to a FILE
This requires a FILE_PATH and NO format
(because it is binary data)
And, then I can read/write using a THIRD type of VI
How is THIS read/write different from the ones above?
I can see that THIS read/write requires a refnum from the
open... OK... one structural difference...
This one does not allow for formatting... but yields a BROWN data.
Now, what is this DATA... is it binary?
What is the purpose of the OPEN/read/write/Close
on the second lines of the FILE/IO vi's
Can someone describe these and how they relate to each other?
Thanks,
Tom
