acperrella Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hello, This is stumping me and I'm sure it is becuase I don't really have a grasp on what the different formats are. Basically I have a string of Data coming in from a GPIB device. The comma seperated data can be of arbitrary length and is of the form: x1,y1,x2,y2,........ which I can read just fine. I'd like to make that into a cluster so I can plot it on an XY graph. What I tried to do is use "spreadsheet string to array" to make a 2D array, then index array to pull out row 0 and row 1, then use the bundle command to create an xy cluster. Any ideas? Is it possible that some of the data in the form 1.000e-4 or similar is causing a problem? Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment

Another approach is needed. I'm going to try and brute force this with a for loop, but there seems like there should be an easier way. -Andrew Quote Link to comment

Wire a 1D array to the array type input and a comma as delimiter. Quote Link to comment

Hi jpdrolet, That did work. I have a 1D string array with all of the original info. I'm still not sure how to split this single string into a cluster, but at least I've moved forward.

acperrella Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 The Answer: I knew I missing something simple and that simple thing was "decimate array" It sucked out the even and odd terms of the converted string which I could then bundle into the cluster -Andrew Quote Link to comment
