  • How can i convert .gif/.bmp/.jpeg file to labview code(vi)?

    Hi,
    I am having a .gif file which consists of vi code. I want to convert that .gif file into vi & complile it. I am using LV 6.1 & 7 express. Is is possible?
    Reverse is surely possible like we can convert the vi diagram into .gif/.bmp file? But above i dont know?
    Your help will really appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Nirmal

    If I understand your desire, it's to be able to convert a graphical image (bit map or screen photo, for example) into a functional block of LabView code, with all of the wire work done, etc. This is a task approximately equivalent to performing optical character recognition.
    In the case of a non-system subvi, unless that subvi is loaded, so that it's graphical representation can be recognized by comparing the bit-map image for the subvi on the photo with the available vi's.
    Another difficult problem to solve is when the bit-map has been scaled up or down, such that there's a pixel count mismatch between the VI iconic bitmap and the photographic bitmap you wish to import into your code diagram.
    And if you try to do recognition on objects that have h
    ad their RGB color representations changed, as can happen when JPG compression or other compression forms are used that reduce to total number of colors saved, that challenges the object recognition further.
    Also, what you're interested in having is only of value to Labview programmers, so there's not a very large market for such a tool to be sold to - unlike bitmaps of scanned text to ASCII or wordprocessor applications - traditional OCR software.
    All this ins't to say it can't be done, but that it's difficult, and for the person or company that undertakes it, the sales potential is limited.

  • Open LabVIEW 8.0 files in LabVIEW 7.0

    Hello,
    I have developed an application in LabVIEW 8.0 and built a standalone executable just to realize that I have to deploy it in a Windows NT computer that is not compatible with LV Run Time Engine 8.0 that only supports Windows 2000 and XP. I have tried to open the labView files (*.vi) using LabVIEW 7.0 but it gives me an error. Is there any easy and clean solution to import these files in LV 7.0 in order to build a new excutable and make it compatible with Windows NT?
    Regards,
    Toni

    The only way to convert these files to version 7.0 is to first save them as 7.1 and then open them up in version 7.1 which can then save them as 7.0. If you don't have a copy of 7.0, then if you post the VIs, someone may do the conversion for you. If you have used anything in the program that is not supported in an older version of LabVIEW, you will have to rewrite it. In the long run, it might be simpler to just upgrade the NT computer to something that LabVIEW (and Microsoft) supports.

    You will need to replace the front-panel graph. Downconversion sometimes corrupts graphs.

  • How to convert RDF file to Labview File

    You mean RDF as in Resource Description Framework ? You can use XML parser in Files->XML->XML Parser palette.

  • Can I open a excel file from labview

    I have a program who write temperature in a excel file and i want to open this file from labview .

    This depends slightly on the amount of data you have stored within Excel.
    You can use the "Labview Functions>>FileIO>>Read from Spreadsheet file.vi" which effectively reads all lines from a text file and converts it into a numeric array.
    Alternatively, if your data structure in Excel is more complex than this, you can use ActiveX calls to Excel to retrieve it.
    Use an "ActiveX>>Automation Refnum" control and select the Excel server class. This will then enable you to access properties and methods of Excel to retrieve data from specific cells and pages.
    The attached example should help.

  • 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!
    -noviceLabVIEWuser

    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.

  • Labview into excel file

    hello...i'm using labview 8.5 for my final year project..can i convert the graph in the labview into excel file by using this labview version? please...help me....ahaksss
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you just want the data, then this may be an option (I'm assuming this works in LV 8.5):
    Right click the graph, and select Export -> Export Data to Excel
    You need to have Excel on your computer to get this option.
    Other options:
    o Save your data to a file using Comma (or Tab) Delimited values - open file in Excel
    o Use Report Generator functions to create an Excel file

  • How to view an AVI file using labVIEW

    hi
    I m working on LAbVIEW 5.1. I want to know how to view an AVI video file in LabVIEW. The image should be displayed on an intensity graph.

    Use Windows media player via ActiveX. Find attached example (it plays an AVI on top of graph area and hides at the end).I attached a screen capture in case you have problems with the converted version of my 6.0 VI. Let me know if it's working.
    Good Luck

  • Text file vs labview

    Hi. I have a text file of data ( please, look at the attachment) and  i want to create a single photoelectron's time spectra. I'm studying the transit time: i want to understand and characterize photomultiplier tube response to various signals. My teacher sent me that text file. I have create charge spectra by matlab ( charge spectra at 1651 V, 1710 V and 1580 V). But I can't use labview to create this time spectra ( i can't use functions tools and other ones). I need to convert 1-8192 channels in time, so  i could create Transit Time Histogram. So, could  you help me to convert x - axis ( in attachment is the channels number 1-8192) in time? I need create a data chart ( with data in my text file) in labview...thanks anyway.

    Today seems like an Example Finder day for me and my suggested solutions.
    LabVIEW can quite readily perform the tasks you need.  If you open the Example Finder, available in the pull-down menu under Help >> Find Examples... then and search for "read text file", "Histogram", and "graph" you will find general examples to do what you seek.

    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.

  • Loaidng an .adicht file in labview

    Hi All,
    I am working with data that was recorded with Chart for Mac. Unfortunately I am working on a windows platform and I would like to load the file to my labview VI for analysis. I have tried to attach the file but this site says "not a valid extension for an attachment". Any help/suggestions on how to get the file to labview is greatly appreciated
    Eskinder

    Hi Eskinder,
    this file looks like using a proprietary file format... I don't know "Charts for Mac" nor does Excel know this file format.
    Most easiest could be to convert this file using "Chart for Mac" to something more readable like csv. Or ask someone working with Chart

  • Bringing in a Gerber file to LabView

    I am writing an Emissons scanning program and would like to bring in a Gerber file (printed circuit board file) into LabView to overlay on the emissions data.  What I am thinking is selecting this file and having the layout appear within LabView.  I would then like to be able to move the picture around and overlay it with the scanned data.  This would enable me to look at areas, componets, and traces of the board that are radiating energy for debugging purposes.  Is this going to be much more complicated than it sounds?  Right now I take the scanned data and import it into a program like Paint Shop Pro, and do the overlay there.  This gets difficult because of all the scaling problems that arise trying to line everything up.  Anybody have any ideas?  Thanks

    Ok, you where talking about the XY Chart earier on...
    You can make the intensity graph transparent, but it's pointless. To make it transparent, you press Shift Right mouse, and select the paint tool, and select transparent. Do the same for the frame of the intensity graph, and you can look right through it. However, when you put data in it, all data will be represented oblique. So you still won't be able to look through.
    The data you want on top of your picture has to be blend with the background. So, load the picture, and convert it to a 2D array (unflatten). Then, you need a mask color in your 2D intensity graph data that is transparent. Then, for each element in your data, check if it's the mask color, and if it is, display the background picture.
    You also can do this with the picture control (if you have LV pro or full). Simply load the picture, and draw it in a picture control. Then, flatten the data so LabVIEW will see it as a picture. Add a mask to it with the mask VI, and draw it in the same picture control.
    Then you'll have a intensity picture with a background picture.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • Print text file with labview 2011 and windows 7

    I am having some strange problem, hope someone out there knows the solution.
    We have a labview program running under windows xp, the program runs some test and print label from a local label printer. Last week, I have to upgrade the computer to windows 7 and all the sudden the printer will not print any more.
    The print vi is very simple. I am using the report function and I am attaching the diagram of that vi below. 
    If I use windows notepad to open that small text file, I can print fine. This means the printer driver itself is OK. However, if I print the same text file through Labview printing vi, from the printer's task list, I can see it does not recognize the char. From the attached png file, the top one is the task from notepad, it shows 2 pages and the bottom one is from the labview, it becomes 33 pages. 
    For the printer part, I use Generic / Text Only printer driver which comes from windows itself. And I am aslo attaching a sample of the text file, there are quite a lot of special char, it is for print bar code. When I tried to use labview print text vi to print general text from my computer to a regular printer, the vi works. So it seems Labview print can not handle the special char? Although it worked many years under windows XP in the past.
    Welcome to any suggestions!
    Thanks

    where to check RAW or TEXT? the print report vi only asks for file name and printer name.
    When I print from notepad, everything just goes by default. This is a label printer, so I never need to specify printing parameter such as size, orientation, etc in the past
    Famous last words go something like this: "...never had to do that before."  Maybe you have to do that now.  It's worth at least comparing the defaults settings for bothe generic drivers.  It could save you a lot of headache if you notice something different.
