Which LabVIEW function is used to open or create a file for reading or writing?
Answer: Open/Create/Replace File
The Open/Create/Replace File function opens an existing file, creates a new one, or replaces an existing file depending on the selected option.
What data type does LabVIEW use to represent a file path?
Answer: Path
LabVIEW uses the Path data type (shown as a green wire) to represent file and directory locations in a platform-independent way.
Which file format function allows LabVIEW to write spreadsheet-compatible data directly from a 2D array?
Answer: Write To Spreadsheet File
Write To Spreadsheet File converts a 2D numeric array to a tab-delimited text file compatible with spreadsheet applications.
What does the 'Read Lines from File' function return by default?
Answer: An array of strings, one per line
Read Lines from File reads one or more lines from a file and returns them as an array of strings, each element representing one line.
When writing binary data to a file in LabVIEW, which function should you use?
Answer: Write to Binary File
Write to Binary File writes binary data (byte arrays or typed data) directly to a file without text conversion.
What happens when you close a file reference in LabVIEW using the Close File function?
Answer: The file reference is released and any buffered data is flushed to disk
Closing a file reference releases the system resource and ensures any buffered data is written to disk, preventing data loss.
