hi there everyone, can someone please help me.i already created this subvi.it is already doing what i wanted. it is the only way i know how to do it.BUT...i need another way to do this before i have a new system. i will have to modify the code. i just want to modify a text file if possible. its easier to document rather than changing the code. here is what i have..

Attached is the VI I explained to you to create. It doesn't handle if the Station ID is not in the list.

LabVIEW

compare text file to test system

Solved!

One thing you can do is to load the test VI dynamically. Insted of test number in the excel file you could specify test VI to use. By doing this you can keep the main program and create a new pluggin test module if a new test subrutine is needed. Se the "dynamic load example"
