I need to convert csv file to 4-20 mA signal with CFP

[ASAT]

Good Morning:

I am lookng for some direction (architecture and VI wise). I have a CSV file that is generated by an analyzer thay posts 8 discrete numerical values. I need to open that file, (I think) drop the values into an array, pull out the required values, convert the value into a 4 to 20 number, then send it to a compact filed point unit with a 4-20 mA output card. After 5 minutes, I will need to repeat the exact operation again.

Any suggestions, concepts, ideas bits of code would be much appreciated.

Thanks

SIg.

How about a timed while loop with 5 (minus some poll time) minute intervals.

Poll the last 10-15 seconds for the csv file to arrive, do your extraction and send it to the Fieldpoint unit.

Thats it, I think unless there are requirements that you didn't specify.

Regards,

André
