Compare two VIs

I have two codes that suppose to be the same but I want to make sure by comparing the VIs. The code consists of 50+ VIs. I was trying to use CMP compare two VIs.vi in labview 7.0 but got an error when try using it. Is there an easy way to compare the VIs?

Compare two VIs in LabVIEW Full Development System

I am using Labview 8.6 Full Development System. I want to compare two VI's, what is the best way to do it? I am using TortoiseSVN source code control software. I found some VIs (vi_diff.vi) in this forum. But this VI will work only in Professional Development System. Because this vi will use LabVIEW8.6\project\procmphier.llb\CMP compare two VIs.vi. This vi will work only in professional system.
How can I compare two VIs in my current LabVIEW system. Pls give suggestions.
Thanks

If you pay more for the PDS than the FDS, you want more features. The diffing is one of those. So you either get the upgrade $$$. Or you do it manually.
Manually, I go for a complete VI documentation (I don't remember the menu entry) of one of the VIs and have that open as pdf while going through the code of the other.

How can I compare more than two VIs at a same time in labview 2009

How can I compare more than two VIs at the same time. I am an Lab Engineer I have to check assignments submitted by students and I want to know how many of them are copied from each other. Labview compare VI can only compare two VI at a time while I want to check about 30 VIs at same time.
Regards,

I'm not aware of a tool to compare multiple VIs. If you don't find anything, consider posting this to the LabVIEW Idea Exchange to expose this idea directly to NI R&D.
Thanks!

Compare two similar objects

Do you know about any possible Java bugs with JDK update?
In my case, my code stopped working.
Here is what I have. There are two similar objects, but Object 1 has key, and Object 2 (same as Object 1) has no key. I need to compare both, and if they are equal, I need Object 1 to assign key to Object 2.
It worked before. How I can get around.
Please help me if you can.
Respectfully,
Alex

Let me change the question:
"Can we compare two objects one with key and another one without key? How?

Compare two Java Objects without Comparable / Comparator

Hi Friends,
I would like to compare two java objects (lots o attributes) without using Comparable / Comparator.
Any suggestion/sample code would be helpful.
Thanks,
Sachin

I suppose you could design another feature to compare Objects... but that would involve a design process, so asking for sample code is definitely premature. And as EJP says, what would be the point?
At least that's what I would answer if this was one of those stupid interview questions.

How can I compare two collections at the same time? (View two grid views)

I have two collections containing some of the same images. (My Nikon D70 did not put an end-of-file on some images. I recovered them into a different collection.) Now I want to display both collections side-by-side in grid view. I will select those images in the "recovered" collection that correspond to the bad images in the "main" collection, add the ratings etc, and move just these to another collection.
It is extremely frustrating to have to bounce back and forth between collections, remembering each image one by one and selecting it in the "recovered" collection. (The image names are not preserved in the "recovered" collection -- I have to go by what the image looks like.)
LightRoom allows me to compare photos in the compare view. I want to compare collections in two grid views.

CaptureTheLight,
you have ran into a situation when you have to compare two sets of images and now you're wondering how come Lightroom doesn't have such "obviously necessary" functionality? But you have to admit it, this is not such a common situation in a photographer's workflow recovers broken files and tries to compare them against themselves. I think it's a pretty specific feature you need. Still, Lightroom has enough powerful tools for editing and sorting images.
For example...
You could just put them all - "main" and "recovered" - into a single collection or into the Quick Collection. Label the entire "recovered" collection with, say, red and sort by capture time. Now you'll have everything side by side, ordered chronologically. The "recovered" images will stay next to the "main" images since their capture time will be the same, and they will also stand out since they have the red label.
Make the thumbnails bigger and set up the grid view so it tints the thumbnail cell are tinted with the label color. Now, you can go quickly through them visually checking labeled vs unlabeled.

How to make a communication of two VIs from difference computers throught VI server?

Hi Barry,
What do you mean "it doesn't work"? What kind of errors are you seeing? Also, you only specified the file name (data.vi) when opening a VI reference. Try specifying the whole path to the VI. Also, you might want to make sure you are able to ping your other computer from the start (to see if this is a LabVIEW issue or a network issue).
Hope this helps,

Operating two Vis at same time

First time posting here on NI, need some help with setting up a Labview program. A little background so you know what we are attempting to do and the level of skills involved in it. I'm a undergrad research assistant and I have never used labview before until I started on this project and just have a basic understand of the program now. All the programs involved in this were written before I started on the project by other undergrad and grad students. So any answers will probably have to be dumbed down to a noobs level for me. Here is our problem :
We have two VIs that we are having to run at the same time. The First VI is a program that we use to run a automated arm/probe. It is setup to run manually by using the arrow keys on the keyboard or we have a grid system setup on our test box and can tell it were to travel too by inputting the x y cords into the program. The second VI is a safety loop, the testing we are doing is dealing with EM fields and detection of them. We have equipment that generates the field inside the test box but we can not allow it to get over a certain watts level. The second program was designed to detect when we reached this level and turn the system off for safety. Both of the programs work just fine.
So here is the problem, we can not run them at the same time which is an issue. Anytime they try and run them together the system bogs down then crashes or they just fail to load and run at the same time.
Here is the solution I would like to try and find. What is the best, fastest and simplest way to link both of this programs as a single VI that wouldn't take a lot of programming and knowledge. Basically the programming team that made the VIs is gone now. If needed I an post the VIs. Thanks for any help or input

I would guess that your programs are not programmed very efficiently and are running with what are known as greedy loops. That is, the VIs have a loop in them but don't provide any means for LabVIEW to switch between tasks. One, or both, are starving the CPU which causes your execution issues. Even some as simple as adding a Wait(0) to the loop will help to prevent greedy loops from occuring. Additionally, they could have issues with maintaining memory and do things like allowing arrays to grow infinitely large. Without seeing the code though it will be difficult to give you specific advice.

How can i compare two excel files with different no. of records.

Hi
I am on to a small project that involves us to compare two excel files. i am able to do it but am struck up at a point. When i compare 2 different .csv files with different no. of lines i am only able to compare upto a point till when the number of lines is same in both the files.
Eg. if source file has 8 lines and target file has 12 lines. The difference is displayed only till 8 lines and the remaining 4 lines in source lines are not shown.
Can you help me in displaying those extra 4 lines in source file. I am attaching my code snippet below..
while (((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) && ((strLine1 = br1.readLine())) != null)
                 String delims = "[;,\t,,,|]";
                String[] tokens = strLine.split(delims);
                String[] tokens1 = strLine1.split(delims);
               if (tokens.length > tokens1.length)
                for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
                    try {
                        if (!tokens.equals(tokens1[i])) {
System.out.println(tokens[i] + "<----->" + tokens1[i]);
out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + tokens1[i]);
out.println();
sno++;
} catch (Exception exception)
out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + "");
out.println();
Thanks & Regards

A CSV file is not an Excel file.
But apart from that your logic makes no sense.
If the 2 files are of different sizes the files are different by definition, so further comparison isn't needed, you're done.
If you want to compare individual records, you need to compare all records from one file with all records from the other, unless the order of records is important in which case your current system might work.
That system however is overly complicated for comparing CSV files.
As you assume a single record per line, and if one can assume those records to have identical layout (so no leading or trailing whitespace in or between columns in one file that's not in the other) comparing records is simply a matter of comparing the entire lines.

Functinality to compare two material price with reference to BOM in CO

Hi,
You can use this report to compare two itemizations. The report compares the characteristics item number, item category, cost element, resource, material, cost center, plant/work center, cost center/activity type, operation number, BOM item, assembly indicator, and cost component.
You can access this report as follows:
Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Material Costing ® Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure or Cost Estimate Without Quantity Structure ® Compare
or
Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Information System ® Object Comparisons ® For Material ® Itemization Comparison.

How to compare two excel reports and find the difference in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a requirement that needs to compare two excel reports in XML Publisher 5.6.2. or BI publisher 10.1.3.4
If anybody has an idea about this pls help us.
Thanks,

Since our customer wants to have this comparison only with BI reports....here is the scenario how the comparison should be..
Now,we have a parameters called Customer name and version id. Version id list will be refreshed based on the customer selection.
User can generate the report based on the selected customer name and version id. These data are fetch from the oracle database and we are using Data Template in the BI Publisher.
Now the requirement is customer wants to compare two version id data. for example, v1.2 and v1.3
Now they wanna to see both the reports while generating in the same work sheet, like, v1.2report should display in the left side and the v1.3report has to display in the right hand side of the same work sheet.
Now...If there is any addition happened in v1.3 report,then that cell/data should display as a green color in that report.
If any deletion happened in v1.3report then that should be in the red color.
If any modification happened in v1.3 then that should be in the yellow color.
If there is no difference then that should display as it is.
the thing is that, the both the reports (v1.2 and v1.3)should display side by side in the same worksheet with the format and everything........only the difference should be highlighted.
Template is same for both the reports..
To display the data for both versions i think i can generate the template side by side of both in the same worksheet.
Now, My question is how to find the difference of data in the RTF Template for both the versions
Can anybody assist me?
Thanks,

Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line

Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
Any kind of help will be greatly.

Command-line: Not possible.
JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...
