psd

Hi,

I need to compute and display the psd of a .bin file.I found this nice code on the forum but it cannot read a .bin file. What modification do I need to do??

The program that you find provides also time domain waveform before PSD calculation. Did you got this as you expected?

Or

Check the datatype option in read binary File VI.

Better to post your data along with VI.

That's because it's not reading a ".bin" file. It may be using the Read From Binary File, but it's actually reading a standard tab-delimited text file. I do not know why the author chose to use the Read From Binary File VI. Or why they simply didn't use the Read From Spreadsheet File VI.

Impossible to say because there is no standard format for a ".bin" file. You must know the format used to store the data and then you can know how to read it.

nks for the prompt responses, I could not upload my .bin file coz its too bulky, more than 130 Mb, its in VLC format

What is "VLC format". That's not any format I've ever heard of. Have you tried opening the file with a text editor, like Notepad++? Do you see a bunch of non-printable characters, or do you see ASCII text?
