reading from spread sheet vi

[mbhatti2000]

Dear All,

I am trying to read this text file saved in ASCII but it does not load the data correctly, I saved this file in matlab using the command "save moonman y -ascii -double -tabs". then i used read from spread sheet.vi to open it, i want to see the data in waveform chart. I attached the waveform chart both with all rows and first row? and used double...can any one help.

thank you.

I think the attached will do what you want.  It reads in your file, decodes the tab delimited string, and plots in a waveform chart.

Dear Paul Schlagheck,

thank you for the wonderful program but in the waveform chart, the waveform that is saved shows up distrorted.

Could you maybe tell why this is ?

sincerely,

Munir.

thanks in advance.

Interesting... That is the same plot I got based on the file you posted me.  Not sure why you would not have gotten the same out of the box with my example.  Interesting.  did you modify the code I sent you?  I downloaded your file, and my example... and I have attached the result.

Hello,

the problem is the decimal-character. If you change all the dots to commas in your text-file, it will work. Or you change the setting of your LabView Program under options -> frontpanel -> local decimal-character

Hope this helps,

Good catch... I do not deal with localization often. 
Thanks
