How to add dynamic data type as one of the terminals of a Custom VI

Hello,
Can anybody tell me if it's possible and how to add a dynamic data type as one of the terminals of a sub-VI? I would like to have a terminal that I can connect signal from DAQmx to my sub-VI. Thanks.

Here is one of the coolest things about LV, and one of its major advantages over languages like VB - it has automatic memory management and it compiles whenever you make a change. This allows you to be very free in the way you handle data and change your code. In this case, you should note the small gray dot that appears when you wire the dynamic data into the Array of Waveforms input. This gray dot means that LV coerces the source data type (DDT, in this case) to the target data type (Array of waveforms). If it wouldn't match, you would get a broken wire, the VI couldn't run, and if you hover over the wire or press the broken run button you would get an exact description of the error. Cool, eh?
This can also be seen in other things. For example, you can change an array's data type or number of dimensions by simply doing it. This will automatically be reflected anywhere the array is called in the program, and if anything won't match, the VI will be broken. If you change the # of dimensions of an array, any array function which that array is wired to will adapt. This allows you to be very safe in the way you write code, because you have LV watching all that annoying stuff for you. You don't have to worry about misspelling a variable here (for the most part).
One important point about coercion - it does take processor power. This will usually only be evident in large arrays or loops, but it is an important point. Another thing is that coercing numeric types can cause you to lose data - coercing a DBL to a U16, for example, will cause you to lose all the fractional data.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
Try to take over the world!

How to add TIMESTAMP data type in Enterprise Architect...?

Hi all
There is no data type of timestamp in Enterprise Architech. There is only
DATE type. I have ERD prepared from Enterprise Architech. How to modify
DATE type to TIMESTAMP type.
How to add TIMESTAMP data type in Enterprise Architect or in ERD ?
Thanks in advance,
Pal

Have you asked this question of the vendor of Enterprise Architect? They may have a later version that supports the various TIMESTAMP data types. If your ERD tool doesn't support a data type, other than talking to the vendor or working around the problem (i.e. generate DDL to a text file and edit it before applying it to the database), you're probably out of luck.

How to add new data type

I need to add new data type like SDO_GEOMETRY in spatial Oracle.
I don't mean the User-Defined Datatype but new datatype imbed in the database.
It might be written in C++ or Java but I do not know how.
Any hints and help will be appreciated. Thanks,

> It is not simply defining new VARCHAR3.
I will compare embedded new built-in data type and UDT as part of my research.
What I really meant was what do you want from your new type that a user-defined object can't give you? (Apart from the obvious shortcomings of Oracle object types being addressed, but that could take a while.) You specifically said "I don't mean the User-Defined Datatype but new datatype imbedded in the database" and I wondered what you meant by that.

How to add different data types in Linked list?

The basic idea is that I want to implement a linked list like the one which we generally implement in C. I need to store different data types in a single node. Is it possible to implement like this or I have to implement a linked list for each different data type?

I have an application program in which there is a form. In this form there are different text fields in which data is to be inserted by the user. These data's will be inserted into the database. I want to hit the database only once. So I need to store these data in a data structure before I insert into the database. I think it will be easy for me to handle the data in a linked list if I can have different data types in a single node.
Moreover, I think u're not getting my question. This pic will help u.
http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4500/sampler.jpg
I'm not sure about that the code which u have written will have different data types in single node. I have to try that.
And of course if anyone has any better idea than me, it will be very helpful.

How to add teradata Data type in essbase shared services configuration

[pic here |http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/epm/hyperion_epm_system_configurator_database_registry.jpg?id=epm%3Aepm_installation]
I am not getting oracle or Teradata during configuration of Shared Services in database type
PIC HERE
I added both the database (sample SH for oracle and WIMM (personalized database ) for Teradata) in the microsoft odbc administrator on the machine .
but it does not detect these data bases -- does any one know to configure and add databases to the drop down list .
thanks

When configuring shared services it does not use ODBC connections it uses JDBC, by default you should see Oracle in the dropdown but you will not see teradata.
You don't mention the version but if it is 11.1.2.x then you should see a screen like http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__2AaArK5lW8/S9XEZAzyHEI/AAAAAAAACRE/DI1A9ui7kTM/s1600/13.png when configuring shared services for the first time.

How do I Change the plot waveform colour on a Dynamic Data type Graph?

I have multiple different plots on different graphs, and I want to set the colours of the different waveforms.
In order to display the waveforms on different graphs, I switched to Dynamic data type and then split the wire
according to how many channels I have.
I can set the graph background colour with a property node, and create cursors of different colours no problem
using the array of references that I have created, so there is nothing wrong with my array of references or the property node.
As soon as I try and wire a colour box into the Plot>Plot Colour control, I get error 1055 out of the property node.
I was wondering if it was an error between the keyboard and the chair, but now I am thinking it is someting more sinister.
The Error box pops up and can't be dismissed remaining the focus until I run TASKKILL on LabVIEW and terminate it.
Any ideas on how to achieve my goal would be appreciated.
(LabVIEW 8.6)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Sheela,
It's 1 plot per graph, up to 4 graphs displayed on different tabs.
Here are some screenshots

How do you save dynamic data type, from the DAQ assistant, for use in Excel or matlab?

Currently, I have the following basic VI setup to save Data from my PCI6221 Data Aquisition Card. The problem I'm having is I keep getting the last iteration of the while loop in the measurement file and that's pretty much it. When I try to index the data leaving the loop it gives me a 2D array of Data which cannot be input into the "Write to Measurement File" VI. How would I save this to a useful Data/time step format? I was wondering of a way to continuously collect the Data and then save it in a large measurement file that I would manipulate in Matlab/excel? Am I using the wrong type of loop for this application? I also noticed my Dynamic Data array consists of data, time, timestep and then a vector of the data taken. Is it possible to just get a vector of the time change per sample alongside the data? Sorry for the barrage of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!
-Bryan

There is a VI in the Express > Signal Manipulation palette called "From DDT" that lets you convert from the Dynamic Data Type to other data types that are more compatible with operations like File I/O....for instance, you could convert your DDT into a 2D array and use the Write To Spreadsheet File.vi. Just a thought...

How to add Dynamic .php content to a Dreamweaver Template

OS: Windows 7
DW Version: CS5
PHP: XAMP Local Server
I hope someone can help. I have created a Dreamweaver Template for .php and created 5 child pages of this template. Everything is in working order as far as that is concerned. Here is my problem:
I want to add some dynamic data (some categories) from a MySQL database to a nonEditable section of the main template so that it will flow to the 5 child pages. I can create a connection to the database with no problem, but when I go to insert a recordset into the template, it asks me to set up the "site", "document type" and "testing server" which I have already done. I am pretty sure that this is because it is looking at the .dwt file type and saying that it needs to be a dynamic document like .php. I have tried going through those steps, but then it just ends up renaming my .dwt file to .php and then it is no longer a template. I do not know why I cannot add dynamic data to a dreamweaver template. It seems like it should be a no-brainer, but it just isn't working out for me. In my research, I did locate the following
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Extending/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d610 8-7fdb.html
but wasn't completely sure how to apply it or if it only pertained to CS4 since I am using CS5. To be honest, it confused me more than it helped.
I really hope there is a logical and simple solution to this issue as I have spent a lot of time researching/testing this.
Any help/direction is greatly appreciated. I am not looking for someone to just solve my problem and am willing to dig deep to learn, I am just do not know where to go from here.
Thanks again in advance for your assistance.

Brad,
Thanks that worked! Although I will have to re-create my child pages and re-link my style sheets and scripts. But that will not be too difficult as I have not yet added any content to them and is a very small price to pay for the answer to my bigger problem. What is a bit quirky is that I did try to create a test .php template but when I saved it, DW did not automatically add the .php to the end after .dwt. but rather just named it test.php. I didn't think to just rename it since I had read that it would add it automatically so I thought I was doing something wrong.
Maybe there are settings in the preferences that will fix this. None-the-less, I can now move forward with my development thanks to your timely response. I really appreciate it.

Hi Amit,
Were you able to solve your issue? I'm facing the similar issue now. My DB table contains field names with '.' i.e. say xyz.abc. How to solve this??
I feel SP could be an alternative??

How to reference complex data type when consuming web services in WAS 620?

In WAS 620, I tried to consume a web service in ABAP. I was successful when the web service returned one or more simple data type. But when the web service is changed to return a complex data type (eg. a structure with 3 elements), the call to the web service did not return anything.
Do any of you know how to reference the individual element in the structure of an output parameter in a web service? I use the add_parameter method of the CSoapDocument class to identify the output parameters.

Create dynamic data type in structure

Hi Experts,
I am new to ABAP.
In my scenario data type is varying for the field. for that I need to create dynamic data type in structure, this structure I am using for internal table for OVS search input.
Please suggest the solution for this.
Advance thanks,
Regards,
BBC

Thanks for your quick reply,
I used your logic like this.
data:
ls_component type abap_componentdescr,
lt_component type abap_component_tab.
*... (1) define structure components :
clear ls_component.
ls_component-name = 'NVALUE'.
ls_component-type ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( <fs_seg_v>-fieldname ).
insert ls_component into table lt_component.
*... (2) create structure
data lr_strucdescr type ref to cl_abap_structdescr.
data lr_data_struc type ref to data.
lr_strucdescr = cl_abap_structdescr=>create( lt_component ).
create data lr_data_struc type handle lr_strucdescr.
field-symbols <fs> TYPE any.
assign lr_data_struc->* to <fs>.
your logic is working fine.
here I am getting feild name (<fs_seg_v>-fieldname) from internal table.
But I need to assign same field name structure to query parameter.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls_query_params> TYPE lty_stru_input.
Please can you suggest how I can refer the field name structure?

How to add shooting date to clips automatically?

Hi,
I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on Mac.
I make little home movie projects couple of times a year, consisting of everyday life of our family and especially of my son. I shoot clips with my smartphone and video camera. When I have enough clips, I just take them all to storyline (starting from the oldest one) and basically all I want to do is to add shooting dates (dd.mm.yy) to the bottom righ corner of the final film. How do I add shooting date automatically on each clip according to actual shooting date? Shooting date is stored in both the filename of a clip and inside each file (creation date).
Right now it is quite painful to add dates to clips by hand, although I add new date only when shooting date changes. I may have 1 to 10 clips/one day. (No, I don't record every sigle day of our life, but I might record some occasions every week which I eventually want to combine together as easily as possible with minimum efforts)
All tips and tricks are appreciated.
Juha

Thank you Steve for you quick and prompt reply, although it is sad that such a basic functionality is missing. It would save lots of time at least for me. It seems that DV Date is not available for Mac's.
I have just started using Premiere Elements 11 and after I had written over twenty dates by hand, I suddenly discovered that all of them had changed to one, i.e. to the latest date I've used. My workflow is that once I make the first date and adjust its length, font, size, etc., I copy it over the next preferred clip and only retype the date. Then again, copy, change date and so on. This process started well, but eventually all the dates were exactly same. What happened? That surprising problem was the main reason why I asked the first question as I don't want it to happen again. Any clue to this?
Best,
Juha

Attaching a Cluster of 2 elements data type to dynamic data type wire.

Hey Folks,
How do I attach a cluster of 2 elements data type of wire with a Dynamic data type wire?
Or a Build XY Graph to a curve fitting2.
Thanks for the help.
Ty

Hi Ty,
Try to use the "Express-VI Curve Fitting" which is at: Functions-> Signal Analysis -> Curve Fit.
You have to put this VI before the "Build XY Graph".
Otherwise, u can convert the siganls types by using the "Convert from Dynamic Data"
which is at : Functions-> Signal Mamipulation -> Convert from Dynamic Data.
Hope it Helps....
