Trying to read a recorded file that display the x-axis recorded time stamp?

How do I read a recorded file with (XY) data, meaning I want to plot the x-time recorded data and be able to scroll back and forth.

Hi Gina,

If I understand your question correctly, it sounds like you are trying to plot some data that you have saved in a file. I am assuming that this data is in the form of X and Y values.

If this is correct, the easiest solution would be to use an XY-Graph in LabVIEW. I would start by using LabVIEW's File I/O VIs to load the data into an array or even a string indicator. You can then parse the data that you need and separate it into two arrays, one for X values and one for Y values. You can then bundle these two arrays together and feed the resulting cluster into an XY-Graph.

I have attached an example that may help to point you in the right direction when it comes to the actual programming.

I hope this helps!
