How can I import a large .wav file into LabVIEW for analysis?

[Browntown]

I need to import a 40MB .wav file for analysis and doing so at once takes up too much memory, can I import a bit of the .wav file at a time?

The file read functions have a count and an offset input. Just tell it where to start in the file (offset) and how many elements of the given data type you want. Read the block, analyze it and then read another portion of the file. If you want to start where the previous read stopped just wire the offset output of the first read into the offset of the next one.
