Not realy a Labview question...

...but if you saved the file on the scopes floppy in spreadsheet file format, you can open it off of the floppy with MS Excel and create a graph there. (you'll have to manually set the scales in Excel to get it's graph to look like the scope display)

If you want to plot something in Excel and don't know how to do it, you might be better off going to microsoft's web page and searching their knowledge base. You can easily plot a waveform of 10,000 points in LabVIEW though. A simple way to read a file is with the Read From Spreadsheet File function. If you want to use LabVIEW to do this (and I don't know why you would be posting to this forum otherwise), try the function I mentioned and if you have problems, explain in detail what the issues are and exactly what the format of the file is. Posting examples of code and the file would help a great deal.

I seem to remember Excel has a limit to the number of points that can be plotted in a single series. When i learned about it the thought crossed my mind "Can you tell that Excel was intended for buisness use? What manager would want to plot pfrofits going back more than 6000(guess on number) months."

Reminds me of a person that was asked once to analyze just a couple months worth of test data that my program has been writing to a database. Each test logs about 100 data points and 200-300 units are tested per day. He said it was impossible to analyze because Excel had a limitation of 64,000 rows. I ended up spending an hour or two writing a LabVIEW program to do it. It was my opinion at the time that Excel should be left to the 'bean-counters'.

Thanx all for replying..I really appreciate..

I'lk take into consideration everything you told me,try it and then come back to you..

I think labview with the read from spreadsheet file  will help the most..
