Read from Measurement File to XY on Waveform Chart

[tastypotato]

Something pretty simple that is giving me a hell of a time right now.

I've got a .lvm here that has been saved from a DAQ and has one column of numbers starting from 0.0000 - 27.0000 in very small steps. The next column is amplitudes of the signal at the given time. Now, from this LVM file I'm starting a new vi and I want to read those values as X and Y and get them onto a waveform chart. As of right now I've tried hooking up "Read From Measurement File" and tried "Build Table" but that won't want to plug into a chart. Plugging the file directly into a chart causes two very different lines to show up but is no where close to what I'm looking for.

Any tips as to how to complete this?

Tasty,

More often than not I find Express VIs to be more trouble than they're worth. Here's an example of reading tab delimited data in from an .txt and plotting Y values versus X values on a graph. Hope it helps.

Thank you so much! I guess I need to start weening myself off of ExpressVI's!
