time events

[Valter V]

Hi,

I generated a VI that control and monitor a number of events over 24 hours. The output of this VI is a text file. I am now trying to build another VI able to import this txt file and to plot this events over time (eg. scatter plot). Does anyone already created something similar?

Thanks,

Valter

About a dozen times... It's not very difficult. Can you explain what
problems you run into (the parsing, the displaying etc.)? Also, it the file
very large, and are there any other requirements? How many values need to be
displayed, are there multiple scales etc.?

Regards,

Wiebe.

All you need is to know the structure of the file, and since your application write it, this should not be hard. 🙂

If you want, attach a short version of the log file, tell us how the data is arranged, and how you want to plot it.

Hi,

thanks for the messages. Here are two data files, one with comments and one without. The data file includes several training days, which start at particular time. Each training day includes several trials, eg 240. Each trial includes a light stimulus at a particular time, which last for a particular time. A number of seconds after the light goes on there is a feeding event. We also monitor a response, cage 1, 2 , 3 and so on. The cage event has a time and duration. We want to plot the cage events, separately, over the trial time, which includes light and feed events

Thanks,

Valter
