Hi, I want to read a EEG TRC file and am struggling with it's data type, i know that i can put a cluster in the input of data type on a "Read binary file", but i don't know how it actually works, her is what i have: I have a definition of the TRC header file: offset: 0, label: patient info, data type: char, description: patient data offset: 32, label: recording info, data type: char, description: recording info offset: 64, label: acquisition unit, data type: Unsigned long, description: type of device etc... Above is an example (fake one), because i can't give away the file structure description, from this specific file... So my question is: how would you define a data type cluster that could read binary files and reads it like exactly that way? Or does this only works with files saved as a labview structure? For example a cluster? Best regards, Thijs Boeree

I was thinking about it, and came to the conclusion that i maybe needed to make an array of a cluster with an offset, length (count) and diffrent data types and run that in a fror loop to instruct the read binary file and the 'set file position' to retrieve the data and than later on put these in a well defined cluster! But maybe you have the same solution... You can do that, but of course you can't auto-index different data types into one array. But you could populate the cluster directly in the for loop.

Solved!

Wow, Thanks!! This is the right one! I am going to build it just like that!

Best regards!
