Post-processor for Realtime movie?

Hi guys,
I want to take pressure readings from an experiment rig using electronic sensors and feeding the readings into a pc. The readings are fed into the PC in CSV format (exported to EXCEL). If I could reproduce a model of the apparatus and the sensors in a post-processor, would it be possible to get the post-processor to read the real-time readings and apply them to the model in order to produce a continuous movie on screen of what is going on???? (I think this could be similar to a post-processor reading transient results?). This is my thoughts on how to produce a realtime movie of the experiment. Has anyone else tried something similar? I'm open to suggestions on how best to achieve this!! Thanks, Dave |

You would be able to do it in Matlab. I had used matlab to read several data files and post process them into a movie, only difference being that the data files came from numerical simulations. How about labview ? I'm not sure of it though.

Thanks Harish!
I've never used matlab or labview, is it possible to create contour movies of the variables? I want to demonstrate the flow using this method to non-engineers so I need the colour movie! Thanks again |

Yes you can do it. Matlab has commands to create movie frames and to stack all the frames together to make an avi file. You can create a movie of any kind of 2d and 3d plot supported in matlab. The help is exhaustive and its straight forward to make the movies even without any background in matlab.
