Creating a Histogram Graph from a Spreadsheet File in LabVIEW

[Eric_B.]

1. Overview:
This example VI shows how to read data from one column of a spreadsheet file and create a histogram from the data

2. Description: 

This example shows how to use the General Histrogram.vi in order to build a histrogram from a spreasheet. In this case the spreasheet is a .txt file where the data is ordered in columns and the data is retrieved as a 2D Array. In order to get the histogram from the first column, the 2D Array mus be trasposed.

3. Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

4. Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Extract files in "Histogram from spreadsheet LabVIEW 2012 NI Verified.zip" 
2. Histogram from spreadsheet LV2012 NI Verified.vi and spreasheet.txt must be in the same folder
3. Set min, max and #bins parameters
4. Run VI

5. Additional Information or References
