Reading from a Labview Measurement File

[Raymond Tsang]

Hi experts!

I am trying to make a "data logger" and a "history viewer" for my instruments. Basically, the data logger record all the readings in a file in lvm format and then an operator of the intruments can view old data from the saved measurement files in a strip chart format.

Now the problem is, I want to show the date and time information in the history viewer. Although the date and time are there in the header, but it seems there is no way to access them.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Ray

P.S. i thought of using xml, but since i've a have a huge data amount, so this would imply a huge array to be fed into the XML flattener. Any thoughts?
