Start Stop Audio and do FFT

[Konvict]

Hello,

I want to be able to play, stop (all the windows media functionalities) an audio file in Labview, and continuously plot its timewave data and FFT at the same time (depending on the cursor position when the audio file is played). Should i use the audio vi's that come with labview or the windows media player activeX? How do i get my timewave (the data) oi i use windows media player control?

Thanks!

With LV API you stand a change. It has all the features you want. Reading files, getting raw data, playing raw data.

The WMP is for playing stuff (video and audio) I doubt there is a way to get the raw data when it's playing.

I'd be surprised if that is possible.
