 1. Overview

This example demonstrates how to save a complex waveform, which is a cluster of the original time the test start (t0), the length of time between steps (dt), and the array of complex values (Y).

2. Description

This VI takes the data of a complex waveform and formats it into a very practical and easy to understand text file. Using the subVI "Save title information", the name of the test, dt and t0 are written as a header for the file.

3. Requirements

NI LabVIEW Base development System 2012 or compatible.

4. Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download the compressed file and extract the project contents.
2. Open "Save a complex waveform LabVIEW 2012 NIVerified.lvproj".
3. Open the VI "Save a complex waveform LabVIEW 2012 NIVerified.vi".
4. Write a name for your test.
5. Run the VI.
6. Select the path where you want to save the text file.
