Reading RPC III File Formats in LabVIEW Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Professional Development SystemPrimary Software Version: 8.5.1 Primary Software Fixed Version: 8.5 Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: I need to read .rsp (RPC III) files in LabVIEW for analysis purposes, but noticed that LabVIEW is unable to properly acquire this custom data type. How can I properly read my RPC III file format? Solution: Most RPC III files have the same basic format. They are sequential, fixed length, 512-byte record files. The files contain a standard header that is followed by data. The data headers describe the data content of the file. The data portion of the file stores the actual data. There is no end-of-file character in an RPC III binary file.
If you would like to read RPC III file formats in LabVIEW, then the following RPC_III.uri data plugin is required.
Instructions
1. Download the RPC_III.uri data plugin
2. Double click on the RPC_III.uri plugin which will automatically launch the Universal Storage Interface (USI) technology which registers the plugin with National Instruments software
 3. RPC III file formats are now capable of being used in LabVIEW.
For an example of reading RPC III file formats, please download the Custom DataPlugin Example.vi from KB 3RHBOHMY and the following ExampleData.rsp file attached below.
Note: LabVIEW is only capable of READING RPC III file formats and not WRITING using this plugin. Related Links: KnowledgeBase: 3RHBOHMY: How Do I Use Custom Data Types from DIAdem with the Data Storage VIs? Download the RPC III DataPlugin Attachments:
