LabVIEW
MyRio - Write into file
Solved!
Hey friends,
I have a rather small problem, however was not able to fix it yet.
There is a zip file attached with a small vi to write some random numbers into a file.
The vi itself works. As you can see in the picture below it safes the data directly into the file.
However if I start this vi in a MyRio Project and run it with the MyRio Device, the output is different. It still safes data into the file but does not start a new line for each set of numbers. Actually I dont know why
Maybe you have a solution for it.
Thanks guys for your help.
Greetings
Samuel

The myRIO is a different kind of computer than your default Windows pc!
There are two differences between those two text files:
- one file is using a comma as decimal separator, the other uses a point
- one file is using "CR NL" (0D0A in hex display) as end-of-line markers, the other only "NL" (0A in hex display).
Both text files are valid, as you can easily see once you open them with Excel!
The problem here is that silly text editor from Microsoft/Windows: it cannot handle the plain "NL" end-of-line markers as it searches for Windows-default CR+NL.
Use a better text editor like Notepad++ to read the text file as you expect it!

What you are seeing is a difference in operating systems' End Of Line. In Windows, EOL is a Carriage Return and a Line Feed. Linux (what the myRIO runs) just uses a Line Feed.
