Hi,
I downloaded an example file that can read and plot binary data (2 D plot). When plotted I can browse through my data. I can see the cursors and also the coordinates of the cursors.
I would like to mark certain points on the plot using 3-4 different cursors> say A B C D. When I find the set of 4 locations of interest, I would like to send the coordinates to a text file. Thus, I would like a list in text:
A B C D
X1 Y1 X1 Y1 X1 Y1 X1 Y1
X2 Y2 X2 Y2 X2 Y2 X2 Y2
.
.
.
.
XnYn XnYn XnYn XnYn
Where X and Y are coordinates of the 4 markers, positioned n times.
I would much appreciate if someone were to help me with this. Attached is the file I am using.
Thanks much!

Hi emgTAPPER!
I would like to help you. To do this, I first have the following questions:
1. There is a SubVI missing. It is 'Convert Unscaled to Scaled_RepairedGains_05-14c-05.vi'. Would you please upload it?
2. If I understood correctly, you do want to create a 3D-array (1: A/B/C/D, 2:Xn, 3:Yn) or a Cluster of four (A/B/C/D) 2D-arrays (1:Xn, 2:Yn). Which one do you want to create? I would recommend a cluster of arrays. I think it will be easier to handle.
3. I did not understand what you do want to know / at which point you want to get help. Please help me precising at which point there are difficulties.
a, Are you able to create a useful array?
b, Do you need help in making 2 cursors to 4?
c, Do you want to know how to write the cursor position into the array?
d, Do you need help in "saving" it each time into a new array position?
e, Do you want to know how to send the "saved cursor position" into a text file?
Best regards,
Stefan
