Binary file data plugin : navigating through different data types

Hi
I am currently trying to load a binary file into DIAdem with the following structure:
block 1
1x 8-bit ascii
12x double
block 2
1280x int16
block 3
1280x int16
block 4
12x double
block 5
1280x int16
block 6
1280x int16
block 7
12x double
block 8
1280x int16
block 9
1280x int16
I managed to read the first string value, but I was unsuccessful in getting any further.
Could anyone please give me a lead on how to proceed?

Sorry for revoking this thread, but I need some further advice on two issues:
1. All values that are set to -32768 in the data mean actually NaN. Right now I am converting all those values to NaN in a post-processing script using the CTNV function. Is there a way to do this directly in the DataPlugin? My idea was to apply the NoValueSet command but the bInterfaceLocked variable returned TRUE, so not accessible. No problem if there is no other way, I can live with the CTNV function.
2. When I tested the DataPlugin with larger files (up to 1 GB) I pretty quickly ran into the maximum channel number limitation of DIAdem (available 65k, needed 400k). The only thing I could think of right now is to concatenate all data to a few channels and then extract the relevant blocks needed for the analysis during post processing. But that does not seem very efficient and will surely bring up other problems. Is there a way to work with the DataPlugin interactively, i.e. tell the plugin to read X number of blocks at file position Y? Or is it possible to save loaded data sequentially to different files within the plugin? Increase the number of available channels? Any comments or other ideas are very much welcome.

Uploading data in MM01 for different material types

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding uploading the data in MM01 for different material types.
Generally in MM01, we have different views for different material types. The number of views will vary depending upon the material type that we select.
I have a scenario, where in to upload the data, I have a flat file that consists of data for different message types. So, how to upload the data in such case.
Can anyone help me on the same by providing explanation or sample code...? What would be the possible ways to upload data in such scenario.
That would be of great help.
Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep.

See the below code and use FM SELECTION_VIEWS_FIND..

Influence of hierarchy navigation on different data providers

Hello WAD gurus,
We use few analysis items with different data providers in the same template. The items navigation should influence each other . Therefore, we have maintained entries in list "Affected data providers". Most navigation steps affect the other item, however, navigation on hierarchies doesn't affect other Items.
Is there any solution to this situation?
Thanks in advanced.

Date comparision issue with different date formats

Hi Friends
I am trying to find difference in hours between two dates but not able to do that as the formats of both dates that i have are different.
But i have both the dates in the String format. belwo is my code.
First Date is in the format - yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSS. String sDate = "2011-05-29-13.50.44.050761";
Secong date is in the format - yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss String uiDate = "2011-05-29 13.50.44";
Now i need to parse both the Strings into a Date object and format that so that i can subtract both dates using the
long difference = uiDate .getTime() - sDate.getTime();
Can you please let me know how i can do that as the format of both the dates are different.
Is there a way like a common format to which these both can be converted and calculation done.
any suggestions and solutions would be of great help.

Thanks All for your suggestions
well i figured out the solution with some goggling and r&d.
For the first case I was getting the Date and Time fields from the UI as two different fields. I then combined these into a Date object and set the format for the first date as yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSS.
The second date was already in the above format. Then the i just did the Date comparison and got the difference in hours which was what i wanted.

Write to binary file

I have a relatively large 3D array (Phase Settling), which I want to store in a Binary File. The array is a 15000 point sweep (after decimation), repeated up to 48 by 48 times (in two FOR loops, one inside the other), meaning it can end up having as many as 34,560,000 data points. At the moment, I am attempting to dump that 3D array into a Binary File in one go, using the following VI. There are two possile versions of this array (both the same size as each other) and, depending on which has just been tested, they will be written to their own individual file. Once both tests have been run and their results stored, the idea was to open both files, subtract one array from the other, and store the new 3D array to another Binary File whilst also displaying this latest data elsewhere in a higher-level VI.
After its first trial run, LabVIEW presents me with an error message saying something along the lines of "LabVIEW had run out of memory". I assume it would be to do with this VI, since that's where the first error code appeared (Error Code: 2), apparently originating in a 'Write to Binary File' function.
Any ideas as to how I could get round this first hurdle, or perhaps an alternative method I could try?
Thank you.

Running out of LabVIEW memory when writing to binary file.PNG ‏30 KB

Well, as shown in the attached screen-shot, the error indicator shows an error code of 2, and that the error occurred in one of the Write to Binary File functions.
However, when trying to save this particular VI after a couple of tweaks, I was presented with the following pop-up alert message:
LabVIEW: Memory is full.
Cannot save VI "Compare Amp - calculate.vi".
LabVIEW Save error code 10: Default data space.
Anyway, returning back to the main problem at hand, I've though of a couple of possible solutions...
We don't really need a particularly high resolution to the data points for the comparison, so I could convert the array doubles into an array of singles to save space.
I should be able to implement the 'Write to Binary File' for the initial arrays into the outer FOR loop, thereby reducing the amount data written in each instance by a factor of up to 48. The only problem I can foresee in this is that I'm not sure how to append 2D arrays into a binary file such that, when the file is read, they would appear as (or be easily converted into) a 3D array.
As for the 'True' case in my case structure, am I being grossly inefficient in my passing of data from one place to the next? I know there are a lot of branches (and buffers?) of 3D arrays; is there a decent way to reduce this overhead by tweaking the data paths or something?

How to copy only part of a binary file after selecting a start and stop byte?

I need to copy a selectable block of binary data from one file to a new file. The binary file is made up of several data widths (8/16/32 signed and unsigned). If I use a read binary function I will need to account for the data types within the file. I was hoping to do a copy function with a start and stop byte control. Any pointers?

The attached Rube Goldberg Code copies two arrays of clusters to two arrays of indicators.
Ben
BTW: It does so by writtng the flattened data to a fixed length file and decoding same on the read.

"Read from Binary File" and efficiency

For the first time I have tried using Read from Binary File on sizable data files, and I'm seeing some real performance problems. To prevent possible data loss, I write data as I receive them from DAQ, 10 times per second. What I write is a 2-D array of double, 1000 data points x 2-4 channels. When reading in the file, I wish I could read it as a 3-D array, all at once. That doesn't seem supported, so I repeatedly do reads of 2-D array, and use a shift register with Build Array to assemble the 3-D array that I really need. But it's incredibly slow! It seems that I can only read a few hundred of these 2-D items per second.
It also occurred to me that the Build Array being used in a shift register to keep adding on to the array, could be a quadratic-time operation depending on how it is implemented. Continually and repeatedly allocating bigger and bigger chunks of memory, and copying the growing array at every step.
So I'm looking for suggestions on how to efficiently store, efficiently read, and efficiently reassemble my data into the 3-D array that I need. Perhaps I could simplify life if I had "write raw data" and "read raw data" operations that write and read only the numbers and no metadata.then I could write the file and read it back in any size chunks I please -- and read it with other programs besides. But I don't see them in the menus.
Suggestions?
Ken
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I quote the detailed help from Read from Binary File:
data type sets the type of data the function uses to read from
the binary file. The function interprets the data starting at the current file
position to be count instances of data type.
If the type is an array, string, or cluster containing an array or string, the
function assumes that each instance of that data type contains size information.
If an instance does not include size information, the function misinterprets the
data. If LabVIEW determines that the data does not match the type, it sets data
to the default for the specified type and returns an error.
So I see how I could write data without any array metadata by turning off "prepend array or string size information", but I don't see any way to read it back in such bare form. If I did, I'd have to tell it how long an array to read, and I don't see where to do that. If I could overcome this, I could indeed read in much larger chunks.
I'll try the auto-indexing tunnel anyway. I didn't tell you the whole truth, the 3-D array is actually further sliced up based on metadata that I carry, and ends up as a 4-D array of "runs". But I can do that after the fact instead of trying to do it with shift registers as I'm reading.
Thanks,
Ken

Binary files in java

hi
I am a bit new to java and am having some problems with binary files. What I need to do is search a binary file for any accurances of the data contained with in another set of binary files. I need to know if the first file contains any of the signatures in the set of files. any help would be great.
thanks very much
Colin

you take your file, you read in some bytes and you loop thru those bytes to find matching bytes that you are looking for. Here's some cdoe that's probably not as elegant as it could be, but you get what you pay for.
public static int indexOf(byte[] a, byte[] b) {
   return indexOf(a, b, 0);
public static int indexOf(byte[] a, byte[] b, int start) {
   if(a == null || b == null || a.length == 0 || b.length == 0 || a.length < b.length) {
      return -1;
outer:   for(int i = start; i < a.length-b.length; i++) {
      if(a[i] == b[0]) {
         for(int j = 0; j < b.length; j++) {
            if(a[i+j] != b[j]) {
               break outer;
         return i;
}

Binary file is too big in size

Hi,
I wrote a simple VI to do playback of sound files and to record signals. It seems to do what I want (although I appreciate general feedback on good programming habits). The bigger issue I have is that the binary file it is saving is way too big in size. A few seconds of recording gives a few megabytes of data. Although I can open the binary file in matlab and analyze the data just fine, the big file size doesn't sound right.
Does anyone know why this is the case? I tried saving the data in something other than doubles, but it still gives large file sizes. Played around with the byte order too without much success. Any help is appreciated (LV 2009 file attached).
Thanks.

If your DAQ unit is 16 bit or less, simply store data as I16. you store data as DBL and that is 8 bytes pr number. It is no problem making wav files in I16 format. However wav files (in Labview at least) is not a compressed. So the file size will be much bigger than MP3 files that is a compressed file format.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

How do i import labview binary file into diadem

hi,
i am acquiring an analog input, and writing the data into a binary file. how do i access the data?
can i import the file into Diadem? if so how?
thanks
jithendra

Hi jithendra,
Well, that IS a simple binary structure. I didn't have all the scope VIs on my computer, so I couldn't tell-- do your binary data files always have a fixed number of channels (2, perhaps)? If so, it would be absolutely trivial to create a DataPlugin for you, and I would be happy to do so. Do you save your binary data files with a consistent file extension (*.bin or something)? Then DIAdem could automatically associate that file "type" with the DataPlugin, and you could simply drag and drop your binary files into DIAdem.
Alternatively, the TDM Header Writer VIs would also be pretty easy to use to create TDM header files for your binary files-- just make sure you set the byte order property to Big-Endian, as in the examples in that AppNote.
Either approach ought to work fine,

Problem in Writing to/Reading from a Binary file placed in a Loop

Hi
As you can see in the attahced image, I attempt to write a set of 2*202 data in each iteration of the loop of the loop, yet when I try to read the data (in the second picture) I only get the first (or last, I assume) set of data, up to index 202. I needed to read two set (X, Y) of 402 valuse. So, I am not sure if I am making a mistake in wrting to the file or reading from it!
I really appreciate it if someone could suggest a solution
Ashakn

You are only reading the first. In your read, set your number to read to -1. That will tell the Read Binary File to read all of the data instead just a single set.

Manipulating a Binary File.

I am looking in a binary file that has many blocks of data in this file. There are several headers in the file that don't necessarily start at the top. I need to find where 3,61, and 8000 all happen sequentially. This is the header that starts the block of data that I want to look at. I did a type cast because of the Little Endian Big Endian issue. The data is a one dimensional array of Unsigned 16 bits(two 8 bit words). I would like to put it into a spreadsheet. Thanks in advance.

I may have misunderstood your statement, but it sounds like you're saying that the file can contain multiple data chunks, each of which is preceded by the header 3,61,8000. If so, you can use something like the attached VI to extract out each data chunk and create a concatenated array of data with which you can do whatever you need. It's crude, and I didn't spend a lot of time trying for a really elegant solution, but you get the general idea. The input is the array that is the array of U16 that is the file you read.

Creating navigation through panels in lookout

Hi, Im trying to create some navigation through different panels in lookout using Push buttons. They work fine on the server machine.
But when i copy the client processes to another computer and try to navigate through the windows on the client they dont work and they generate
Alarms telling me that it turning on and turning off.
What i want to do is be able to have a client process with multiples panels and allow the user to navigate through the panels by clickin on a button.
Any information or insight appreciated thanks.

i use a combo box for navigating around panels....seems a little cleaner to me than pushbuttons although i have used them in the past...take a look at this

Eclipse Confusion: Different project types

I have a JSP project that I'm working on in Eclipse. It's such a pain because I need different project functionality like JSP, JSF, JBossIDE, etc...the problem is that each functionality is part of a different project type.
i.e. When you select File -> New -> Project, there are different project types. Any project can only have one type (or can it?). So if I need multiple functionality within a project, how do I make this happen?
Obviously you wouldn't limit yourself to just one functionality because of the IDE's limitation...
Is it possible to combine multiple projects into one complete project? This seems like such a disgusting and difficult solution...files split apart into different projects just because one uses JSP and another uses JSF and another uses EJB...
How do you deal with this?

Is that possible?
If no,what else solutions can I have for choice to achieve the goal.
Can make against the reservation and do goods movement into different accounting subject.
