Creating 2D output

[Tony Asn]

Hi,
I have written a program to communicate with Granville Phillips pressure gauge controller. It reads three measurements of the pressure and writes them to a file. However, I cannot figure out how to display those three data points in a row. The final file contains just one column while ideally it would be 3 columns (P1, P2 and P3 respectively). I am attaching the VI file here.
Thanks, 😃
Tony

Hey Tony,

      To answer your question: the strings you're reading probably end with a carrage-return (AKA "\r" or ASCII(13)) or a line-feed (AKA "\n" or ASCII(10)) - or both.  Since you're writing the strings to a file, these End-Of-Line (EOL) characters are forcing every value to a new line!   The modification I made to your VI (attached) is to replace embedded EOLs with spaces, then add an EOL before writing one row!

There are other improvements that could be made, please consider reading the LabVIEW  Style-Guide - particlularly the "Block Diagram Checklist".  Making diagrams easy to read will help us help you!

Cheers!

Hey,

thanks a lot for the help. I am using LabView 7.0 and the output that I am getting now looks like:

2.00E-07\s

0.00E+00\s5.40E-02

However my goal is to get 2.00E-07 0.00E+00 5.40E-02

Do you know what the problem might be (the Labview version) or something else).

Thanks again,

Tony

Hi Tony,

      Here's the VI saved for 7.0.  While back-saving, there was some complaint about the VISA VIs.  Not knowing what problem that might leave for 7.0, here's a pic of the change - just in case.

Your most recent post suggests there's still an EOL sneaking through.

Please let me know if attached example doesn't work!

Cheers!
