Issue Details

I want to open Python .pickle files in LabVIEW but when I do nothing readable is found in the file.

Solution

You can open Python .pickle files in LabVIEW if the files contain elementary data (e.g. strings), it all comes to how Python stores that exact data type. For example in the case of NumPy arrays python stores them in a special way so when you try reading it from LabVIEW you will get unreadable text.
