How to Import Coordinates from Excel into LabView

[JÞB]

Actually not bad muri.  Autoindex or wire n..

@OP.  There are a lot of upgrades to NI Motion.  What version do you have?

@Jeff. I have SoftMotion Module 2016.  What do you mean by autoindex or wire n?

@Muri.  Ah yeah, I was looking through a couple of videos and saw the shift register too.  I was actually just going to add one for the index row number, because the whole column would be x-coordinates.  Then I would just do the same for y- and z- coordinates.  Thanks so much for the help!  I'm still not entirely finish with what I need to do, so I might end up asking more questions later on.  I got the main idea now though thanks to you, so thanks again!  Hopefully you'll still be around if I get stuck somewhere? 😛 haha

I don't think I'm going anywhere

With For loops Autoindexing input tunnels and wiring to the N terminal can lead to confusion.  Usually, it's better to use only one or the other method to determine the number of loop iterations.  In the posted example, the autoindexed input array size was also wired to the N terminal.

Yep I only wired 10 in case of non auto indexed tunnels because i wasn't sure what or how many loops he needed (:
