replaying recorded data

[Raj1973]

I am using Labview to record some cylinder pressure for an engine and am trying to do some control stuff.
The problem is i can try my program only with the data coming from the engine. I want to be able to test my algorithms off-line. I want to do the data-acquistion once and able to replay the recorded data as if it is a actually coming from the engine for my offline testing. How can i do that?

The easiest way would be to save the raw data to a file and then create a read VI that emulates the daq hardware but which get its data from the file. When doing this its important to save the raw data before any of your code manipulates it. Then you can test your data manipulation as well. If you can provide a little more detail on how your daq works I can give more complete information on how to make your "test mode" work.
