How to playback a signal from file

I am a beginner to Labview so this might be a very basic question.
I have a file which contains some measurement data.  The data is originally in txt format, comma delimited.  The first column contain the time, the two next columns contain measured data (voltage amplitude).  The records is about 52 sec.  I would like to playback these signals in real time.  When I use a waveform graph to display the signals, it just the reads the data in a batch and displays the total record.  Any suggestions..

Read the file back, one line at a time (ina loop), with a delay wired to the time value from your file. milliseconds is as close as you can get though.

Are the records evenly spaced in time? If so, I would read the whole file into memory and then simply use a Timed Loop to plot your data out based on the time increment.
