Generate/Read ATML TestResults Files using LabVIEW

I've become very interested recently in saving all my test results into XML files. Seems like the wise way to go about this would be to use the ATML standard (http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/scc20/tii/IEEE1636-1TestResults/TestResults.html#complexType_doubleAr...). I know this standard is supported in TestStand but I was wondering if any tools exist that would make it easier to use in LabVIEW. (I could write it from scratch using LabVIEW's built in XML VIs but I'm not very familiar with XML in general so this would be time consuming)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Based on his question, I think a copy of the XML file itself would be of more value, since he would like to construct the file himself. The image does not show the structure of the data.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

Where can I find an example of a vi which reads a xml file using the Labview schema (LVXMLSchema.xsd)?

Where can I find an example of a vi which reads a xml file using the Labview schema (LVXMLSchema.xsd)?
�Unflatten From XML� is of little use in parsing because it requires the data type. So it seems that the user has to parse each data value, and then �Unflatten From XML� can help a little.
I would like to see NI provide a VI for parsing it�s own schema.

LabVIEW's XML functions are another way of saving data from controls and indicators that is in a more standardized format. If you look at the Unflatten From XML shipping example, it shows taking the data that you would normally send to a Digital Wveform Graph and converting it to XML instead. This data is then unflattend from XML and wired to the graph. Since you know what you wrote to the file, this is an easy thing to do. If what you are looking for is a way to look at any data in any LabVIEW XML file, then you are right, there is not a VI for that. However, I do not believe that that was the intention of the XML functions in the first place.
By wiriting data in XML, this allows other applications outside of LabVIEW to parse and recognize the dat
a. In LabVIEW, you would already know the types and can place a generic item of that type. The issue of knowing the type is that you need to know the type of the wire that comes out of the Unflatten function so that the VI will compile correctly. You could always choose a variant value to unflatten and then do some parsing to take the variant a part. Maybe this will help you out.
See this example for using the Microsoft parser for XML. (http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B123AE0CB9FE111EE034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52050&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=)

Read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi

My question is how to read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi .
My objective is to create a series of small avi files by using IMAQ AVI write frame with mpeg-4 codec of 2 second long (so 40 frames in each file with 20 fps ) and then send them one by one so as to create a stream of video. The image are grabbed from USB camera. If I read those frames using IMAQ AVI read frame then compression advantage would be lost so I want to read the whole file itself.
I read the avi file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and then sent to remote end and save it and then display it, however it didnt work. I later found that if I read an image file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and save it in local computer itself , the format would be changed and it would be unrecognizable. Am I doing wrong by reading the file in unsined 8 bit integer format or should I have used any other data types.
I am using Labview 8.5 and Labview vision development module and vision acquisition module 8.5
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

Hello,
Check out the (full) help message for "write to binary file"
The "prepend array or string size" input defaults to true, so in your example the data written to the file will have array size information added at the beginning and your output file will be (four bytes) longer than your input file. Wire a False constant to "prepend array or string size" to prevent this happening.

Deleting a column in a text file using LabVIEW

Hello all,
I'm trying to delete the first column of my tab delimited text file using LabVIEW and then save it under the same file name. Can someone show me a quick way to perform this operation. Is this even possible with LabVIEW? Any help would be much appreciated.
My purpose is to automate this operation for hundreds of daily text files containing data that needs processing. I'm currently using LabVIEW 8.2.
Thanks!

If the file is relatively small:
Read the file using the Read from Spreadsheet File VI to get 2D array.
Remove the column from the 2D array.
Write out new 2D array to new file using Write to Spreadsheet File VI.
If the file is relatively large then you will likely run into memory issues. In this case you will need to read the file in chunks. You can decide how many lines to read at a time. Use a for-loop that's set to run for the number of chunks to read (based on the total number of lines and the number of lines you want to read at a time). Hint: Quotient & Remainder function. In the loop use the Read Text File VI to read your set number of lines. Convert the lines to a 2D array delete your column, and write out that chunk of data to the new file. Rinse and repeat.

Is it possible to overwirte data in a *.pdf file using LabVIEW??

hi,
i have a requirement to overwrite a pdf file using LabVIEW, i have to use coloring text also.
i have downloaded Exaprom PDF 1.0 toolkit. but it is to generate a new pdf file.
please suggest ideas

Modifying an existing PDF file is several magnitues more complicated than creating one from scratch. The PDF standard is VERY complicated and contains a myriad of features with their specific syntax elements. In order to modify an existing PDF you have to be able to understand every syntax element that occures in the PDF, or you may end up corrupting the file.
When you create a new PDF you can pick out the syntax elements that your tool supports and forget about the 95 other procent.
There are many PDF Toolkits than can create PDF files, a few that can open PDF files and present them, and almost none that can edit them. The Adobe PDF Editor being one of the few that can do that, but nobody is going to give away such a Toolkit for free.

Hi Lynn ,
Basically i want to read the mentor graphics drawing file data in a labview front panel, so that i can display the components as we see in the mentor graphics development enviornement and should be able to click on the components to perform the tests associated with the same.For this,i think i need to have the BOM kind of data only as i need the components data associated with the drawing file,after this i would create a custom control for each and every component and then call the tests associated with it as soon as the user clicks on the same.I hope you understand my requirements.
Thanks & regards,

How to read a text file using Java

           ex.printStackTrace();
         catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
     }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

Please advise?for goodness sake, how many times do I have to tell you that you can't just expect the Properties class to accept arbitrary XML in any format? it reads XML in the format I linked to, and nothing else. Properties is not a general purpose XML binding. you can't do what you're trying to do with it. read this and in particular pay attention to the following
The XML document must have the following DOCTYPE declaration:
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
Furthermore, the document must satisfy the properties DTD described above.
