Reading VEE data files into LabVIEW

[Bogomir]

Hello,

I need to read data from files that are written by a VEE application into LabVIEW. Does anybody recognise the data structure or should I start writing my own parser?

Reagards, Bogomir

ChatGPT couldn't find any format that resembles this, do you have more information or context from the VEE application side?

[Bogomir]

Yes, I asked ChatGPT also. The context is known. I know what the data is. The shema doesn't change. I just need to read and write the data. I will have to use the same format, because it it used on other VEE testers. I'll just use some string manipulation to read and write desired data.

The VEE schema looks kind of like the labview flatten to XML schema. Enough so that you could probably parse the VEE schema to labview XML schema then use the unflatten from XML to import the converted VEE schema into labview. Might be more work than it is worth if the data field is the only thing that changes. Check out the labivew XML schema:
