I am new here to LabVIEW and was hoping for some recommendations.
I need to read the data from a file/spreadsheet, into an array of clusters. This sounds like something that must be common, but I can't seem to find a good example
Basically I have an excel sheet that contains setup information that I want to load into an array of clusters.
row1 is a cluster, row two is a cluster etc...
Since I am new to LabVIEW, I can imagine that I could use the "read from spreadsheet.vi" , but it only allow me to read the whole file as one data type. I could do this several times reading from the same file, but using a different data type each time, then using indexing to parse the data and create my cluster of arrays.
This sounds ugly and I am guessing there might be an easier way to actually read a file into an array of clusters. If not, then I will do it the "long route"
I am using LV8.6 and the file format is not important because I will be writing and maintaining the setup information.
This forum has been a great help so far and I thank everyone who uses it.
