Corrupt DataLog file?

Long time someone post something regarding the DataLog files.
You know, File I/O\ Advanced File Functions\ DataLog
Is it because it's "old skool" and there is something better now??
Anyway, allow me to ask this question.
I have several DataLog files, all of them I can read with the existing EXE file and LV development code except one
I always get the error code 71 when reading that specific file.
Since all files are made by one and the same LV EXE file I find that very strange.
I then read several files using note pad to get an idea about what's inside.
All files I can read starts with: DTLG € # ! $ @0ÿÿÿÿ
The one I can't read has the same pattern from character 146 onward.
I have no idea at all where those 145 characters came from ?!!?
"Ç Started-20140508.dat C:\PROGRA~1\BEKAER~1\TIREIM~1\DataBase\STARTE~1.DAT 6 C:\Users\WU71AD~1.SHE\AppData\Local\Temp\STARTE~1.DAT ‘Å
The first readable characters are the name of the file, the following path's, no idea!
After the four ÿ characters I see the correct definitions of the cluster I use in all files, so that is rather good, I suppose.
Easy solution I tried, delete the 145 erroneous characters but then I get error 42 : LabVIEW: Generic error. when reading the new file.
Anyone an idea how to "uncorrput" this file correctly ?
All happens in LV 8.6
Thanks for reading
Even more thanks for a solution!
Best regards
Alain

How Do I Convert LV7.1 Datalog Files to LV8 Format?

I have several LabVIEW 7.1 datalog files that generate Error 71 (File data type conflict) when I try to open them in LabVIEW 8 using the new Open/Create/Replace Datalog vi with my original typedef constants wired to the record type terminal. Likewise, my original LV7.1 code recompiled in LV8 often generates error 116 (unflatten or byte stream read operation failed due to corrupt, unexpected, or truncated data) or error 4 (end of file encountered) when randomly accessing records in the LV7 datalog files, presumably due to changes made to the datalog file structure in LV8. I recall one time when a dialog box popped up asking if I would like to convert the file to LV8 format. Since this was a file currently in use on the server by LV7.1 clients, I had to reply no. With copies of the datalog files now on my hard drive ready for conversion, I haven't seen the conversion dialog box pop up again.
How do I convert the LV7.1 datalog files to LV8 format?
Thanks,
Larry

Good afternoon Larry,
Thanks for posting!
The Datalog file support in LabVIEW has changed, but the underlying
principles of the technology remains the same.
Converting to the new format should just involve converting a few VIs to the new Datalog-specific versions. As you can see, the new Datalog VIs appear in
their own sub palette in 8 which will help keep things simple.
Before we address the concerns with the errors, let’s first
make sure that the code has been properly converted.
To convert your VI to the new format:
1)      Replace
the Open File VI from LabVIEW 7 with an “Open/Create/Replace Datalog” VI in LabVIEW
8. Keep your type constant or control
wired to the “Datalog Type” input.
2)      Replace
any “Write File” VIs in LabVIEW 7 with “Write
Datalog” and triple check that your data matches the datatype wired into the
open exactly.
3)      Replace
any “Seek” VIs with “Set Datalog Position”. The input to this VI is the number of records
to advance (check the mode set by the “from” parameter).
4)      Replace
any Reading VIs with the corresponding “Read Datalog” VI.
I suspect that if you are receiving errors saying that the
end of file has been encountered it is a result of a bad input to the “set Datalog
position” VI. I attached a basic example
of writing a Datalog file in LabVIEW 8, and reading the results. The rest of the functions in the new Datalog palette
should be pretty straightforward.
Does this help? I
would be more than happy to answer any other questions on this if you need any
additional clarification, or if this response does not address your question.

Opening my datalog file errors out with error 42 generic error

I'm using the datalog API to store video images flattened to string (the record type is string). This works great most of the time, and gives me easy access the whichever frame I currently want. My files are between 15 and 125 MB. Occassionally when I try to open a file, the Open/Create/Replace Datalog primitive returns error 42, which is a generic LabVIEW error. The file appears to be the right size and looks as correct as I can tell in a hex editor. I'm guessing it's some sort of parsing error, but I don't know the datalog API binary format. I'd really like to recover these files that are throwing the errors. Any ideas?

Greetings FlamingYawn!
I apologize for the trouble you're having opening some of your saved datalog files. Unfortunately, as you have already mentioned, Error 42 is a general error and as such, provides us with little information that we can use in troubleshooting the issue. From all the research I have done, it seems that the two most common causes of this type of problem are from a logic error in the writing section of the code or from the files being corrupted by some other means during the write (i.e., from bad sectors on a hard disk). Unfortunately, the file type is a proprietary binary format and the structure is not publicly known. We currently do not have any tools for use in reading these files outside of LabVIEW. This is not necessarily to prevent the files from being read by other software but simply because it is a file type that was designed specifically for LabVIEW. The best information I can provide you with is related to the file header. This can be found in the following KnowledgeBase article:
LabVIEW Data Logger: Binary Header File Format
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/747B83B6C8E4A6218625669100563B61
If it is at all possible, please try to see if the same set of data produces the same error each time following the write/read sequence. If this is in fact the case, I can work with you further to file a Corrective Action Request so that the developers can address the issue.
I hope this helps some.

Corrupt Dock File?

Hi,
So on my dock, I have my Applications Folder on it to use as a shortcut, but just recently, it started to display two of every application. See my picture:
I also have my Downloads Folder on my Dock. When I drag things from the Downloads folder into the trash can, nothing happens. But then when I click +Show In Finder+, it shows the file as deleted.
So it seems my Dock is not refreshing or something? So what I did to fix it was just remove the Applications and Downloads Folders from the Dock, and drag the Applications and Downloads folder from my hard drive to the dock. But everytime I log back in or download something else, the problem will arise again.
Do I have a corrupt dock file? I didn't want to try messing with that until I consulted +Apple Discussions+ first.
Thanks, Alex

if recreating those stacks doesn't help try resetting your dock preference file. delete the file /users/user/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and enter the following terminal command
killall Dock
your dock will be rest to the default. see if the problem goes away.

Error -32810 occurred at The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi

I have two cFP-2120 RT controller. They both have NI-Serial RT2.5.6, DataSocket for LV RT4.2, NI-VISA 3.6, FP Drivers 5.1.0, FP VI Manager 3.1.0 LV RT 7.1.1 installed. But one same vi can run on one controller but not another.
the error message got when it runs on another controller is "Error -32810 occurred at The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi"
I wonder by what it is caused?
Thanks

Hi Matthew,
As mentioned previously, this KnowledgeBase article may be of some help. Also, if your code is being run on an embedded controller and then a network controller (not embedded), you will need to run the program differently. On the embedded controller, you should deploy your VI in a Project Explorer or programmatically (as described here.) However, you do not need to deploy the program to a network controller, but simply run the VI.
I would also suggest creating a new .IAK file. Do you still see the same error? Also, double-check that the software installed on the controller matches the software installed on the host PC. If you have any file paths associated with one FieldPoint controller, ensure that you are changing them to match the second controller.
Please keep us posted on your troubleshooting steps. Have a great day!

Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

"Error 1 when trying to open and read datalog file from several subVi's

So, I've been coding up this model based controller and have hit a snag:
The program starts and opens a datalog file and passes the refnum to two loops.
At a regular time interval (every 2 minutes), one loop (that's iterating once per second) writes the current information to a datalog file.
Meanwhile, another loop (that's iterating continuously) checks to see if the file is big enough to support training of the model, if it is, then the training process begins. Once this happens a period of recent information is read from the file. Initially, this read would fail and return 0 data. However, this problem was fixed by passing in the data file path rather then the refnum and having the vi open,
read, and close the data file. With the path, the vi was able to read all the data. However, still in the same loop, another vi downstream tries to read the file and returns error code 1, and no data is read. I tried passing that vi the path and seeing if it made any difference to open, read and close the file. But even then the read failed (with error code 1).
I don't understand why it can read in one vi and not the other!
Does anyone know what is going on here? It seems that semaphores would probably solve the problem, but would prefer a simpler solution. Thank you very much.

Try passing the data to the continuous loop through a LV2-style global. That way you are only access the file in one place. But then that begs the question, if the data is passed internally, do you really need the file at all?

How can I convert datalog files from LV5.0 to LV6i?

I have some datalog files from LV5.0 and I'd like to use them in LV6i, but when although I push convert when asked in the moment of reading the file,it provides input parameter invalid when reading. I'm using the same vi I used to create and read them in LV5, so it's not supposed to be a program mistake. How can I convert them?"

Hello,
Thanks for answering my question. I downloaded LV6.02 as you suggested but the problem persists.
I don't know maybe it's something very simple. I have attached 1 program to read the datalog file and another one that reads it in every version (LV5.0 and LV6.02) in case you can help me.
Thanks again,
Javi

How to fix a corrupt .avi file (from capture in CS3)?

So I was recording a VERY long meeting at work and recorded it to my PC via Premiere. Since the recording was unattended, the file size is 275GB! I didn't really think anything would go wrong since I have recorded large .avi files in the past.
Well when I try to import the .avi or play it in media player, it is saying it is corrupt/wrong file format. I tried a few avi repair utilities and none of them fixed it. I'm guessing the avi headers are missing, but I thought Premiere wrote progressive .avi files (at least their export is progressive and valid while its writing).
Any help to repair salvage the avi? I only need about 50% of the actual content.

>wonder why you can view a video that is currently being exported
Seeing what the computer is
DOING while it is doing it is really not the same as trying to open a file after the fact
I have an inexpensive standalone DVD recorder to be able to move a movie from a DirecTv Tivo box in one part of the house to a DVD player in another part of the house
I can watch the video on the TV while it is playing from the DTivo box to the DVD recorder
If I do not properly CLOSE the disc when the recording is done, the DVD will not play
An improperly closed file is, as you found, not going to work
As I said, my best GUESS is that hitting the full point on the drive caused needed information to not be written to the header (or file end) and now any software you use to try and play or edit that file doesn't know what the file
IS because the identity is lost
I will guess that is also why the AVI repair programs you've tried won't work... they need to have some starting information to work, otherwise the contents of the file are just so much random "noise"

I followed your help directions on "Corrupt extension files" under "Unable to install add-ons", foolishly deleting the files you told me to. Now firefox won't open. I tried reinstalling firefox but it still won't open. Now what do I do?

I was trying to install the SEOQuake add on. After clicking install Firefox would hang up saying the script had timed out and asking if I want to stop it or continue. Didn't matter which option I chose nothing would happen. The only way to stop it was to close Firefox and restart. Tried restarting the computer. Still wouldn't install. Tried installing the Outwit add on and got the same error leading me to conclude it was a problem with Firefox, not the add on. I found this help page <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons?s=addons+won't+install&as=s> and did everything it told me to. Finally at the end I got to "Corrupt extension files". I foolishly deleted the files you told me to and now Firefox won't even start! I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still won't start. Tried restarting the computer. I have no idea how to get back to where I was let alone install the add ons I wanted to install. Please help. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get Firefox working.

Thread was also opened on the Mailing list:
Here is the answer
Hi,
in most situations an "add log volume" does not solve
a log full situation, because the added logvolume is
accessible first at the moment, when the write position
on the log is at the end of the old logvolume.
If a LOGFULL occurs, the save log!
All "parts" of the LogVolume are numbered and each one
has stored the identifying number of it's predecessor and
it successor in it's header-page. The message
     "Linkage missmatch between volume"
means, that these values does not match any more.
Did you somehow changed the contents of this file/device?
If so: can you revert the change? Then the restart should
work again. do a logbackup and your database will run again.
If this doesn't work for you, you could patch the
header pages of the logvolume (I assume you do not really
want this).
Another way to solve the situation is to do a data backup
in admin-mode, reinstall the database and recover the
databackup, because the removal of a logvolume is not
supported.
kind regards, Martin

My Vista system crashed due to a corrupted windows file. When I reformatted C:/ & reloaded firefox & tbird, my bookmarks were gone. I have an image of the drive , but I don't know how to recover them and get the data back where I can access it.

Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
Thanks again for the guidance

Installed Photoshop cc 2014 asks for serial # - corrupted Windows file permissions

More of a warning / heads up to all than a question - installing Photoshop cc 2014 [via the CC manager app] caused some Windows file (security) permissions to become corrupt corrupt on my system. Symptoms include cc2014 asking for serial number validation on startup (when, as a cloud version, it should not do so), then being unable to connect to the internet when you press the 'validate serial' button so getting that window into infinite loops, and - a real pain in the *** when trying to fix the above - causing abends of some windows shell functions that in turn cause windows explorer to crash and restart.
Anyhow, digging into this (fortunately, I am a long time Windows SysProg) I discovered that for reasons unknown, either the CC master app or the actual Photoshop cc2014 installer (or both) are changing file access control permissions on a number of files, mostly DLL's. Most of the files affected are in the (normally hidden) Program Data directory on the windows root disk, Some of them are in the Adobe subdirectory - so fair enough if they want to fool around with their own program - but others being changed are in the Common Files and Microsoft subdirectories. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is necessary nor why Adobe feel the need to touch files that 'do not belong' to them - something dangerous in the extreme as an external app such as Windows Update might replace or 'repair' the files so touched, and if Adobe / CC are relying on file permissions on non-Adobe files, such changes could result in all manner of random and spurious problems / error messages occurring.
Anyhow, if, fellow Photoshop cc 2014 user, you get this happen to you then you can fix the file permissions by opening a console window [also called a "DOS box", or "command prompt" depending on your age and knowledge... 8-) ] and run the windows file checker with the command
"sfc /scannow". Make sure that you use 'run as administrator' to open the console window, or you'll get an error about sfc only being available to administrators. Also a very (very) sensible idea to close all non-essential running applications first to prevent any possibility of weird interactions happening.
Finally, check that the 'hosts' file in [root drive]:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc is valid - for some reason, it looks like the install tried to check or update this file (again, I have no idea why) but the result was a corrupted hosts file, which I assume is the root cause of the 'unable to connect to host' type internet error messages. Copy the file, rename it as 'hosts.txt' and edit it with notepad or wordpad. Look for lines containing garbage strings at the bottom of the file (any line that starts with a # ignore, it is a comment, and any line that has IP addresses or host names should be ignored - though if they reference a site such as "someserver.adobe.com" you might want to treat them with suspicion if you continue to get internet 'cant connect to site' type errors.
Anyhow, when I fixed these two sets of problems, Photoshop cc 2014 started 'right first time' without all the BS messages about serial numbers etc.
Hope this helps somebody out there in AdobeLand......
Rick

Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.
