Currently I have 3 axis motion VI where values are calculated using the formula node. These value are then converted to motor steps (Screen shot attached). (Please ignore my broken wires and unwired nodes). Then an array is built and the motor steps go on thier merry way.
I want to replace the formula node with three colums and 60 rows of values (either in some type of table or array). The original values will be created in Excel then "plopped" into the table/array.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
A 2D array sounds perfect for your needs of using 3 columns with 60 rows. This link has information on how to create arrays. As for importing points from an Excel file, there is an example called Read from Text file.vi that displays how to read from a file. Just be sure to save your excel as a text file.
