In one of my applications, I have to read data from a file ( text or XL ) one by one with a fewmilliseconds time delay and process with the data (as if the data is obtained in real time).
i understood what to you want., this is an example that i am attaching with this post. The example is made for reading numeric data from text file. when you run the vi it will ask you for the path. Give the path for proper text file containing the numeric data one one n number row.
The numeric indicatior will show you the data one by one with a gap of 100 milli seconds.
I can't open the example either but what you want to do is pretty simple. If it's a text file, then you can use Read From Spreadsheet File and then an index array function to get the column you want. This will be a 1D array. Wire this to a for loop. The for loop will automatically index the for loop. Put a Wait Until Next ms Multiple inside the loop and any other code you need. If it's a true Excel file, search the forum for Excel examples. You shouldn't have any problem finding dozens. Do the same thing to get a 1D array. If you need a bit more precision in your loop, use a timed loop. You'll just have to index the array.
