Efficient Int32 Array to Boolean Array to Int16 Array

Have a large array of Int32 (~500,000 elements).
Each Int32 needs to be parsed into two Int16 arrays: Array 1 is the first 12 bits of the Int32, Array 2 is the second 12 bits of the Int32.
The method I am using (see attached) works just fine but it is taking a lot of time to run (on a relatively slow, embedded CPU).
Does anyone have an idea how to make this run faster?

Not that you needed more ways to solve this problem, but lots of us on this board are curious about performance and I had a few minutes to throw together a VI to test the timing of a few approaches suggested here, as well as two variations of an additional approach that I like (shown here). The basic conclusion is that they're all pretty close on my machine (LV 2009). Splitting a 1-million element array, averaged over 50 times, the approach with 2 ANDs was 20ms. Using a FOR loop was 21ms. Using a pair of shifts (shown below) was 17ms. A variation of this, with a typecast, was much slower, at 35.5ms.

Efficiently accumulating arrays

Hello,
I am attempting to acquire a reasonable amount of data (between 100000
and 1000000 floats) that I would like to accumulate into an array of
single-precision floats.
Efficiency is important due to time requirements of the device that I
am acquiring from.
I have observed that using a large array size - such as those
mentioned above - results in my program running considerably slower
throughout. The array is pre-allocated to the correct size using
"Initialize Array" and then elements are replaced one-by-one using
"Replace array Subset". This I believe to be the most efficient way
of doing it from what I have read, for example in:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/2d17d611efb58b22862567a9006ffe76/979f737147fd5c01862569f3
00638674?OpenDocument
Figure 2 on that page is quite similar to what I have (although much
simplified). For each iteration of the loop I have my array wired to
"Replace Array Subset", with the output wired to a local variable of
the input array.
Is there any reason why Labview should perform so poorly with large
array sizes? My suspicion is that a copy of the entire array or a
size check is being performed somewhere, but neither should be
necessary in this case.
If anyone could offer advice as to how to accumulate data into an
array more efficiently I would be most grateful.
I am using Labview 6.1

Stephen

It is probably just terminology, but here are some comments. After
casting your 5 U32s to 5 floats, you say you extract the data and append
it to an array. If you are truly using build array, then you are
resizing the big array each time through the loop.
Here is what you should try instead. Before starting the loop use
Initialize Array to build a suitably sized buffer of zeros or other
initialized value and wire that to your shift register. Inside the loop
use Replace Array Subset to put all five floats from your array into the
large array at the correct offset, or in older LVs, use five index nodes
and five replaces, or use a for loop that autoindexes your small array,
running five iterations, and does an Element Replace on the large array
at the correct location.
If you don't know how much data will arrive before entering the loop,
then take a guess and inside the loop extend the array using Reshape
Array once in awhile to add another couple thousand elements. You will
also need to shrink the array after the loop, again using reshape.
The key here is that resizing a big array gets more and more expensive
as it gets larger. If you resize the array each iteration of the loop,
this is far more expensive than the occasional resize, say each 1000
elements, which is still more expensive that one resize before the loop
begins.
If this doesn't help, it might help if you were to post the VI or a
picture of the VI diagram.

Howto efficiently Copy array into data portal

I have an array in VBS memory and would like to create an channel in the data-portal based on that data-set, I currently use this code construct to copy the data:
' intChannelCount is the number of samples
'MaxHold is the data array to be copied
'oFFTMaxHold is the data channel that is the target of the data
for counter = 1 to intChannelCount
oFFTMaxHold.Values(counter)=MaxHold(counter)
next
It is rather slow (and if the data preview is open in the data portal) even much slower.
Is there a method to copy the whole array in one operation to a channel?

Hi Ton,
If you have DIAdem 10.2 or later you can use the following command to do this with one command-- passing the array of values as one of the command's parameters-- this is a common situation when querying records from a data base that you want to load into the Data Portal as channels.
ChanRefsArray = ArrayToChannels(ValuesArray, ChanNamesArray)
In the case of your example below, that would be:
Call ArrayToChannels(MaxHold, Array(oFFTMaxHold.Name))

How to call LabView function with nested structs and arrays from C#

Hi,
I've got the following functions defined in a LabView-dll:
uint32_t __stdcall VOSC04_General(uint32_t Command, TD18Hdl *Messages);
uint32_t __stdcall CheckDiameter(uint32_t Command, TD6 *Parameter);
typedef struct {
double SP_Diameter;
double SP_Tolerantie;
double PV_Diameter;
} TD6;
typedef struct {
int32_t dimSize;
int32_t Numeric[1];
} TD18;
typedef TD18 **TD18Hdl;
I've got some C#-code (generated by PInvoke-wizard) to call these functions:
[DllImport("vosc04.dll")]
public static extern uint32_t VOSC04_General (uint32_t Command, ref TD18Hdl Messages);
[DllImport("vosc04.dll")]
public static extern uint32_t CheckDiameter(uint32_t Command, ref TD6 Parameter);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential,Pack=4)]
public struct TD18
   public int32_t dimSize;
   [ MarshalAs( UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=1)]
   public int32_t [] Numeric;
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential,Pack=4)]
public struct TD6
   public Double SP_Diameter;
   public Double SP_Tolerantie;
   public Double PV_Diameter;
The problem now is that when I try to read the Messages-output-parameter, I get wrong values (pointers?). I think that the problem lies in the fact that LabView generated a TD18 AND an TD18Hdl struct.
How can I correct this problem?
Can anyone give me some advise to correct this problem? I'm not an expert in C, only in C#.

I think the problematic line is this:
public struct TD18
   public int32_t dimSize;
   [ MarshalAs( UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=1)]
   public int32_t [] Numeric;
It looks like C# is forcing the array to be of size 1. The thing is, LabVIEW stores arrays as handles which are double pointers to a structure which contains a size element followed by the elements of the array. For your example, int32 arrays are stored in memory as:
handle -> location -> |size|element 1|element 2| .... |element size-1|
Because C does not do runtime array bounds checking, you can get away by declaring the structure as:
typedef struct {
int32_t dimSize;
int32_t Numeric[1];
} TD18;
The correct declaration would've been:
typedef struct {
int32_t dimSize;
int32_t Numeric[size];
} TD18;
But size is not a constant, so C/C++ won't let you do that. So, even though the array is declared to be of size 1, it can (and usually does) have more than 1 element. This does not cause a problem because LabVIEW allocates memory based on the actual size of the array.
If I were you, I'd try to change the prototype of the LabVIEW DLL function to accept a pointer to array data, rather than an array handle, pre-allocate memory for the array in C# and pass a pointer to the allocated memory into LabVIEW so that LabVIEW can "fill it up".
Let me know if you need more information.

Casting Arrays

Is there anything particularly bad with casting Arrays? For convenience, I store some instances of a class in a LinkedList. Now, when I want to get them in a nice Array, I tried this:
("Creature" being a class of mine)
Creature[] creatureArray = (Creature[]) CreatureList.toArray();That resulted in a splendid ClassCastException.
However, this works:
Object[] creatureArray = CreatureList.toArray();
for (int i = 0; i < creatureArray.length; i++)
Creature name = (Creature) creatureArray;
So, is there generally a problem with casting Arrays or is there something else that might be the problem?
Thank you for any suggestions!

This may be more be more efficient:
Creature [] array = (Creature[]) creatureList.toArray( new Creature[creatureList.size()] );

Boolean to String - surely there's an wasy way!

How do i convert a boolean to its String represetation?
This is how I do it:
boolean primitiveBool = false;
Boolean objectBool = new Boolean(primitiveBool);
String booleanAsString = objectBool.toString();
Surely there is a shorter more efficient way?
Thanks.

boolean bool = true;
String asString = "" + bool;I think better would be Boolean.toString(boolean) or
String.valueOf(boolean) as you're not creating an
extra, unused String object.Plus a StringBuffer object.Moreimportantly (IMAO), the code is more directly expressing your intent. "Give me a String representation of this boolean" vs. "Give me a String that is a concatenation of the empty string and the string representation of this boolean."

Autopacman.
Maak via overerving van de klasse Packman uit week 4 een nieuwe klasse 'AutoPackman'.
Deze klasse moet de volgende extra functionaliteit bevatten.
De kleur van de Packman moet kunnen worden ingesteld.
Er moet een methode komen die een willekeurige opdracht aan de Packman geeft.
(naarLinks, naarRechts, gaSneller, gaTrager, etc.)
Maak vervolgens een applet met vier Packmannetjes en ��n knop 'Beweeg'.
Als je op deze knop drukt, moeten alle Packmannetjes ��n stap in een willekeurige
richting doen.
Programmeer dit efficient met arrays en loops.
Als je na afloop nog moed hebt kun je de klasse en de applet zo aanpassen dat een
spel ontstaat, waarbij een Packman die op de positie van een andere komt, de andere
Packman opeet. Degene die overblijft heeft gewonnen.

Performance problem with graphs on Tabs (LV7.1)

I have huge performance problems in a subsystem using tab controls with graphs on top. The whole thing worked nice, until I record a measurement (abou 10k of double as data displayed on the graph). The win task manager indicates above 50% on both CPUs, the app hangs (or lags), my queues generate timeout messages...
The graph is located in one of the pages of a tab control. As well are several clusters of config data for the measurement.
As I said, the problems started, when I put the data of that size on the graph indicator.
The clusters are some nested typ defs, but it worked with them before, no huge arrays involved. All are bundled in a huge cluster (less than 1 k if saved as xml).
So I wonder, if the clusters and/or the graphs are the problem PLUS is that problem resolved in current LV-Versions (hoping to get the faster car & and I love the current GUI with tabs)?
Sorry, can't post the code, but if none of you knows that kind of problems and I can't solve it on my on in an hour or so, I can make some imitation code.

How many graphs are you referring to?
Are they all on your User Interface and running in the UI thread?
You might want to try putting your graphs in their own threads i.e., called dynamically or otherwise in a structure that allows LabVIEW to put them in their own thread. I've gotten good performance out of a PXI-8106 controller by calling a graph template dynamically. That's four graphs showing at once, 12 plots per graph, 10000 XY value pairs per plot. Each graph was setup to get its data every 50-200ms.
How much data you can plot with decent performance also depends on the hardware you're using, i.e., CPU speed, RAM size, video capability, etc. It can also depend on how efficiently you've coded your application. Are you initializing your data arrays and using "Replace Subset" or are you using the less efficient "Build Array" for example?

10gR2 RAC on Dell/EMC AX150

I have a Fibre Channel Array say Dell/EMC AX150.
I need to understand the following
a. The Dell/EMC AX150 comes with QLOGIC QLE220 FC4 Single Channel HBA
will I need "QLOGIC QLE220 FC4 Single Channel Two HBAs" for a 2-node RAC
Will I need HBA for host servers too?
b. Can i do a 2-node RAC without the Fibre Channel Switch
Since
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clustering/certify/tech_generic_linux_new.html
says for the storage section
"Switch required for greater than two nodes"
c. Can i connect the HBA on the storage array to NIC1 of node1
and HBA on the storage array to NIC2 of node2
using the Fibre Channel Cables provided with the storage box
Thanks
Cyril

Please let me know if you have managed to put in the production what you describe below. We are pretty much in the same situation right now, looking for a cost-efficient disk array solution for Oracle RAC. Based on the information I found on the Internet so far:
"a" - you need those HBAs for the servers, which will be running Oracle RAC and accessing the disk array - so if you plan to have twp nodes in RAC, you do need two cards
"b" - the answer seems to be "yes", but it looks like you may need "cross-over" fiber channels in this case (the Re: can fiber channel be used for connect server to a storage in two nodes RAC post - but looks like you've already seen that one and even replied :-) )
"c" - I think you put HBAs into your servers, and then connect them with cables to your disk array (normally via switch - but see above).

How do I read teletext info captured by kaffeine?

Hi,
I use kaffeine to watch and record tv (dvb). Whenever I demultiplex my recordings to cut commercials, projectx tells me, it found a teletext (private stream).
So just out of curiosity: How can I read that teletext information?

Jim,
Thank you for the reply. I think that I am all set. I am using a "write to binary file" vi to write a "complex waveform" from a niRFSA Fetch IQ vi. After looking at the complex waveform more closely, and documentation on timestamps, and attributes, I wrote some Matlab code that seems to work. It looks something like this (below).
Thanks again.
% My undestanding of the Labview complex waveform data is as follows:
% U64 - Fractional part of seconds since 12:00 am, Friday Jan 1, 1904 UT
% U64 - Seconds since 12:00 am, Friday Jan 1, 1904 UT
% float64 - delta t 64 bits
% int32 - array size (this might be an un-signed?)
% float64 - Y real (element 1)   % A
% float64 - Y imag (element 1) % R
% float64 - Y real (element 2)   % R
% float64 - Y imag (element 2) % A
% float64 - Y real (element n)   % Y
% float64 - Y imag (element n) %
% uint32 - attributes 4 bytes, handle to an internal labview data struct

Also got an issue with MSI command center, maybe windows is to blame?

MSI Command Center crashes every time after it's been running a little while, googling it I've noticed there have been a lot of topics about it crashing. I think someone here on this forum suggested reinstalling windows might help :/ Not too keen on that but better now than when I've installed a ton of stuff on the PC.
Actually both MSI command center and Intel extreme tuning utility crash for me. MSI command center crashes after a while it's been running and Intel extreme tuning utility crashes every time I click on the settings menu.
I wonder if something is still wrong with my OS, first time I installed windows 8.1 games crashed if they ran in fullscreen but ran fine in windowed mode. Later after reinstalling widows games started working fine, in fact I haven't had any crashes since (other than from these 2 programs).
Just yesterday I decided to make a bootable USB drive for windows 8.1 and I noticed that my PCcouldn't actually create an ISO from the windows CD cause the DVD drive couldn't read it properly no matter how many times I tried. My other PC managed to read the Windows DVD just fine, so managed to make a bootable USB drive after all. Donno how it managed to install windows at all, it did struggle a bit.
I wonder if doing a repair install or a completely fresh install of Windows now when my PC can actually read the windows installation media properly would fix these last issues.
Is there a difference between a clean install of windows and an install where it keeps all settings and programs? Think reinstalling windows a 3rd time would help (3rd time is the charm right?) Think reinstalling windows again would help?

This issue isn't super important but I don't like programs crashing. None of the games I've played so far crash. (after I reinstalled windows once) Windows never crashes, and the PC has never crashed either so far.
Both MSI command center (version 1.0.0.82) and intel extreme tuning utility (version 5.1.0.23) crash. Both are kinda same type of programs it seems. MSI CC crashes sometimes immediately sometimes 15 minutes after I start it. The intel program crashes every time I click on the settings menu. MSI CC gives those errors when it crashes, the Intel program has no errors recorded in the event viewer when it crashes.

I tried reinstalling windows by keeping all applications and settings, that didn't help at all. I could still do a fresh windows 8.1 install and remove everything, still I'd rather avoid doing that if I can. Maybe I'll just ignore the errors. Perhaps it's something related to the motherboard since both are these sort of OCing software.

Win 8.1 + Kinect V2

Hi, i would like to know how to control Windows 8.1 with Kinect V2 cause i can't do it with just the SDK.
my usb 3 is an onboard renasas controller the driver don't work so i used the windows default one who work
the KinectV2ConfigurationVerifier crash when i use it with this error:

But all SDK simple works exept the VisualGestureBuilder preview i got black screen while the VgbView work
also i used the software UBI to control win 8.1 and it work without problem for gesture
i used FullFastKinectCamV2 to use camera & micro with skype desktop version
so i think it is not a hardware issu with usb3.

You cannot control Windows 8.1 with Kinect Runtime and SDK just out of the box, this is not an included functionality. If SDK demos are working (ColorBasics,
BodyBasics…) I understand that there is no problem with your system/configuration.
At present, you have to write your own software if you want to control an application with Kinect. You can have a look to ControlBasics demo to see how it works.

VS 2013 crashes on opening Worker Role configuration

After creating a cloud project using Azure SDK for .NET 2.4 then Visual Studio 2013 (update 3) crashes when I attempt to edit the Role Configuration via the UI by double clicking the [Cloud Project] -> Roles -> [Worker Role Name] in Solution Explorer.
The event details as text looks like this.

Just prior to the crash...
...it seems like VS 2013 is attempting to log me in to a company server (active directory?). Regardless of my action (providing my login credentials or cancelling the login) VS 2013 then proceeds to crash.
My other computers
On my private laptop that connects to the internet via a private internet connection, the same type of project loads the configuration page w.o. issues (same VS and SDK configuration).
Others have this issue as well
There is also a thread about this on SO, although without a solution:
Visual Studio 2013 crashes when opening up service configuration for edit
Can anybody provide any help about how to solve this, please?
Br,
Claus

Hi Will
Thanks for your answer - I have added my findings below:
The problem apparently stems from the authentication process.
If you are using your company email as username on Azure, the inherent domain name will cause the authentication method to redirect you to your company's Active Directory.
The problem can be solved by choosing a different email as username on Azure.
The problem can also be replicated by setting up a website with authentication using Azure Active Directory. During login through Azure AD, the exact moment you enter the domain name in your username, the login screen redirects you from the Azure AD to the
AD at sts.[email domain name] - and consequently, the login fails. Using a different username the Azure AD authentication works flawlessly.
Br,
Claus

Runtime error in a passed check formula

Hi all,
I have a formula passed the check in the formula editor, but in runtime I am told the following error:
Error in formula<myformula>
'if {MyDatatable.IsFrench}= 0 then'
a boolean is needed here.
IsFrench field is system.int32 type in dataset table. in runtime, this field will be flooded by data. Could you tell me in what phases this error occurs?
Thank you very mcuh!
Clara

Hi,
I've solved the problem. It is caused by the datatype mismatch between the dataset and stored procedure's result set. On the stored procedure side, if one field is defined as BIT then FALSE or TRUE value will be inserted into correspondend column in a datatable even though that column is defined as System.int32. So in design time, the crystal can not find any problem until runtime. Changing data type from System.Int32 to System.boolean can solve the problem.
thank you for your attention
Clara

Adobe Digital Edition 4.0.3 on Windows 8.1 will only run as Administrator

When trying to run ADE4.0.3 as standard user on Windows 8.1 nothing happens but I can see it is producing Windows Error Reports when monitoring it with Process Explorer and the Windows Application log shows two events (id 1026 and 1000) in quick succession when I try to launch it. See extracts of the Windows event logs below.
When I run the application as an Administrator their is no problems and the application launches as expected. It would appear to be some sort of permissions error either in .Net Framework, File system or registry. Please assist.
