Read From Pipe VI

Owning Palette: Pipes VIs

Requires: Base Development System (Linux)

Reads a number of bytes from a pipe, returning the results in the data string output. For this VI, you must have opened the pipe as a read pipe. The VI does not wait for data, so if the amount of data is not available, the VI returns any available data.
