storing data from waveform graph

[bex]

I am reading in waveform data from an oscilloscope. On each read the data is in the form of a cluster where one element is the initial time, another element is the time interval between voltage readings and the third element is the array of voltage readings. This waveform output is not compatible with a waveform chart, therefore it has to be wired to a waveform graph. However, I need to be able to store the data acquired in the waveform graph for further analysis, preferably in a text file. Does anyone have any idea how I would go about writing data of this form to a text file each time the VI runs?

Many Thanks.

Hi,,

I think that the easiest way to do what you need, is saving the data to an XML file.

It is very easy to rebuild the data when reading it back.

Check annex vis,

Hope it helps,

You could probably use a LabVIEW Measurement File for this, using Write LV Measurement File. If its for LV only, a datalog file may also be a possibility. If you need a 3rd party app to read the text file, as Paulo suggests, just use the standard File I/O functions to write a text file.
