Reading From Files

Similar to creating arrays, drop an array constant in the G diagram, drop a numeric constant onto the array constant and set the data type representation to double. Wire this array constant to the data type terminal of the Read from Binary File function as shown in Figure Figure 11.21 .

Figure 11.21 Data Type to Read 

In the Front Panel window, drop a Waveform Graph.

Figure 11.22 Graph for Data to be Read  

With the data type specified, wire thedata terminal of the Read from Binary File function to the Waveform Graph terminal as shown in Figure Figure 11.23 .

Figure 11.23 Data to be Read  

Complete the program by wiring refnum and error terminals of the Open/Create File, Read from Binary File and Close File functions as shown in Figure Figure 11.24 .

When this program is executed, a fle dialog box appears. Select the signal.dat file and click OK.
