Description: This example shows how to load a spreadsheet file, search for a specific set of data from that file, and set various properties in LabVIEW with that data.
Requirements: LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible). Hardware: none.
Steps to Implement or Execute Code:
1. Open Parameters.txt and notice how there is garbage data as well as useful data. You can generate a parameter file in any spreadsheet program (such as Microsoft Excel) by saving the spreadsheet as a text file (.txt).
2. Run the VI, and point it to Parameters.txt.
3. Notice how only useful data from the parameter file is taken and used to set various properties in LabVIEW.
