Hey ilang,

LabVIEW ships with many examples of basic File Input/Output.  If you open LabVIEW, and choose Help > Find Examples, this will open the Example Finder.  You can navigate to the File I/O by choosing the Fundamentals >> File Input and Output, you should be able to see those examples.

Take a look, and let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Kevin H

Is this related to this question?

Do you specifically need to read the information from the file stored on floppy? Why not just get it directly from the scope? Or, do you not have access to it? If you need to read the file, you need to know the format. Is it an ASCII-based file? Can you open it and read it in Notepad? If it's in binary, then you need to know the exact format the data is saved in. This should be in the manual.
