string array to number array

[ku637]

Hi all, Im reading some datas from serial port using labview.

The end of each read by labview module is observed to be 0d ie \n. Im performing string read.

Each string i read i stored into an array so i got a string array..Now the problem comes...

These serial datas contain numeric values for example 100,200,300 etc.I need to plot these serial read array of numbers in string format Vs an internally generated array of numbers .When i use XY graph it says incompatibility between source and sink since the input of XY graph is numeric while string array is not numeric..

Can somebody suggest me a solution?

Thanks

Stephen

Simply wire your string array to the Fract/Exp String to Number. It accepts scalars or arrays.
