seperate analysis of segments

[KatGriffiths]

I have collected vehicle vibration data in large files and I want to be able to anaylse sections of this data seperately without having to physically go into the file and seperate it myself as there are alot of files and a lot of samples.

What I am trying to do is create a loop that takes te first 5000 samples and finds the RMS and kurtosis of those values then it loops back round taking the next 5000 and so on until all the samples have been taken. How would I go about doing this?

Your target application is not completely clear to me: have you got many files, with numbers stored as text, and you want to elaborate them without opening them one by one?

In this case, under file I/O palette you'll find VIs to obtain a list of all files/subfolders in a folder, and VIs to read their conent as text. Then you can convert them to numbers (I.E. with "scan from string"), and perform your elaborations.

I think this is what you're asking for.
