Create local variable using labview scripting

I am trying to use labview scripting to create a control and a local variable for that control. I want both the local variable and the control contained inside a case structure. My problems are twofold:
1. the local variable is left blank/unnamed
2. the local variable is wired outside of the case structure, even though I set it's owner to be the same as the owner for the control (which is placed inside the case structure).
The flat panel is there because I thought that my problem might be a result of the local var being created before the actual control, so this just forces the control to be created first. The other thing I wonder about is the VI Object Class for the local variable. I have tried 'Node' and Control->Boolean, but neither worked.
I have attached a jpg of the code I'm talking about. The picture on thetop is of the code in question. The picture on the bottom is of the resulting code that's created....
Can anyone offer any help?
Thank you...

The reason your locals aren't tied to a control, is because you didn't make a local variable from any control. Use the Boolean reference wire and wire it to an Invoke Node and select the Create >> Local Variable method.

How to create a strictly typed refnum control using LabVIEW scripting

I wish to use LabVIEW scripting to create a strictly-typed refnum control that is bound to my custom control (a type-defined cluster), but I'm unfamiliar with scripting and can't see how to do it.
If I create a New VI Object, using Control Refnum as the Style, how do I provide my custom control to the VI Object Class terminal? When I try using a reference to my custom control.ctl file (using Open VI reference) I get an error: "Error 1057 occurred... Type mismatch: Object cannot be cast to the specified type."
Or, if I create a new Control Refnum as above, using a standard Cluster as the VI Object Class, how do I then convert this refnum control to a strictly typed refnum that is bound to my custom cluster control type?
Thanks in advance for any advice,

You have to create a new Control VI and then specify the VI Type as Typedef.

Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010

I am Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010 in s subVI.
I have a VI that has a Local Variable called "Node Addr". I can select it OK, and it appears to Copy OK, But when I go to paste it, nothing appears. It doesn't matter if I use Cntrl-C Cntrl-V or the Copy and Paste from the Edit menu, I get the same results. I tried many times and got the same results. I made sure that I had click a paste location. I can insert the Local Variable if I use the Data Communication panel.
On one of the Paste, I got an error in the error list that said that a Local Variable was not connected to anything. When I clicked on the error, it took me to an insible item in the lower right corner of the block diagram that had nothing but a select box around it. I couldn't select the invisible item, but I could delete it.
Why does the copy and paste of this local variable not work?
Why does the paste cause the insertion of an invisible item?

My VI is fairly complicated. In several places in the VI, I am either reading or writing to this variable which is an numeric Indicator on the Front Panel. Using local variables seems to be the best way to handle this situation rather that using wiring all over the VI. Since the VI is mainly a State Machine and there are only 2 Writes to the local variable, I am not afraid of race conditions in this case. NO!! While you may think that using Locals is your solution to wiring, it is not! The fact that you are writing and reading, most likely from several places, will most definitely contribute to a race condition. Depending on your implemetation, you should ALWAYS use wires. The wires are the variable. If you are using a loop (While, For), then using shift registers are appropriate means for routing values so that they are used by other sections of the code, later. One thing you must respect with LabVIEW is the dataflow. That's where Locals often fail.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
The Data Communication panel is one of the panels that shows up in the Functions pop up list when editing the Block Diagram. It is the panel that includes the Local Variable function.
I don't know if the invisible item that was inserted in my block diagram was hidden or not. All I know is that the Errors List said that it was a Local Variable and that it was not connected to anything. I couldn't select it to get more information. All I could do was delete it.
You did not address my questions about why the Copy and Paste does not work properly for my Local Variable. Maybe it's a sign from the Software Gods not to use them LOL!..
So if I understand correctly, you are trying to copy & paste the Local Variable from within the same VI. How large is your block diagram? Did you try right-click on the variable and select "Find > Local Variables"? If it's a block diagram larger than 1 single screen (which it shouldn't), then it is possible that the Local is hiding beyond the screen. You should find it as I described earlier.
See my comments in red above.

Create local variable by an expression

Hi!
I searched the discussion forum, but I couldn't find any information about how to create a local variable using an expression.
The TestStand version I'm using is 4.0.
lets say, if I wanted to create a variable called "foo" as integer. What will the expression be?
The expression will be called from the step-type "Statement".
Thanks
Best regards
Selvakumar

Locals.SetValNumber("Foo", 1, 0) will create a variable named Locals.Foo, and initialize it with a value of 0.
The variable will only exist for the lifetime of the execution.

Create Local Variable in Custom.pll

Hi,
I want to create and calling local variable in custom.pll. As i know, we can create local variable with personalization form. but i didn't find the way to create local variable in custom.pll.
Is there any way to create local variable in custom.pll and calling that variable ?
Thanks

I think what you want is to create a GLOBAL variable, a LOCAL variable would be available to the Procedure/Function being executed. But to create the local variable, you add it between the Function/Procedure declaration and the begin
PROCEDURE abc(p_input VARCHAR2);
v_count NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
END;
A GLOBAL reaches out past the execution of the proc defined in CUSTOM.pll. You can simply type GLOBAL.<var_name> := <value>.
BEGIN
GLOBAL.xx_count := 0;
END;
Though I like the ability Personalizations give you of using Init Value vs. Value, Init Value will assign a value if the variable does not exist ... and creates it. Value just assigns a value.
Some say you have do a COPY(value, NAME_IN('variable name')) instad of GLOBAL.<variable_name>, I have never had to use this.

I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.

I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.
I am using Labview 8 ... I need to develop a software to accquire the ECG data (simulated enironment ) and compute the time domain parameters of Heart rate variability like "SDNN, SDANN...etc". Can some 1 plllzzzz help me out.Plzz help me if u can.Thanx in advance.

Hi Andy,
Thanx for responding. The input is from a text file. SDNN, SDANN,etc are the timedomain parameters of heart rate variability.
SDNN: the standard deviation of the NN or RR interval i.e. the square root of variance.
SDANN:the standard deviation of the averageNN interval calculated over short periods, usually 5 min,which is an estimate of the changes in heart rate due tocycles longer than 5 min
SDNN index, the meanof the 5-min standard deviation of the NN intervalcalculated over 24 h,
RMSSD: the square root ofthe mean squared differences of successive NN intervals
NN50: the number of interval differences of successiveNN intervals greater than 50 ms, and
pNN50 the proportionderived by dividing NN50 by the total numberof NN intervals.
The problem is dat I am a fresher to the world of Labview. I have jus recently started working on it. Can u please suggest me some some idea as soon as possible.
As i said I have the ECG data in the form of text files..I need to create sort of GUI to calculate the time domain parmeters....I need help urgently. Plzzz help me if u can. If u have and .vi example to calculate the RR interval plzz send it to me ASAP.
Thanku

Is it possible to create a cmdlet using PS script ?

Mostly cmtlets are compiled code which are written in c#. Is it possible to create powershell cmdlets using powershell script ?
-Pranav

That's what Advanced Functions are. (The original name for Advanced Functions was "Script Cmdlets".) Check out the about_Functions_Advanced, about_Functions_Advanced_Methods, and about_Functions_Advanced_Parameters help files for more information
on this topic.
I'm not surprised, once more, that this rubbish-ell coder spreads wrong concepts about PowerShell.
If this rubbish-ell coder cared to read the about_* mentioned, he would have read that
advanced functions and
compiled cmdlets have differences!
If the two halves of his brain are not 'smoked' he may conclude that two things that have differences cannot be considered the same (I don't know if his brain has been completely 'smoked').
It's my obligation to mark this post as ABUSIVE for spreading wrong PowerShell concepts.
David is a pro and you are a troll. The OP's original question was:
"Is it possible to create powershell cmdlets using powershell script ?"
He did not ask whether it was possible to create Compiled Cmdlets with Powershell code. If an advanced function works exactly like a compiled cmdlet at the command line then it qualifies as a cmdlet. I spend a lot of time writing such cmdlets
and they are exactly that - cmdlets!
Conceptually, David is exactly right. No one said there are absolutely no differences between the two, but expounding on the concepts of using Powershell is not the same as trying to call out everyone here on tiny little nitpicks, which
is what you are doing (abuse).

How can I use local variable in LabVIEW-Action?

Hi All!
There is local variable (for example "MyVariable") in local scope of project. There is Action-step, created by LabVIEW. One of input terminals step is "Sequence Context".
How can I access to MyVariable by Sequence Context? Unbundle? It does't work.
Thank you.

On the TestStand palette there is a VI called TestStand - Get Property Value.vi. Use that. Attached is an image showing how to use it. The trick is making it produce the correct data type. Do that by right clicking on the VI and selecting Select Type. Then you can choose the type. I think in LV 2010 and TS 2010 it is a polymorphic VI and you can just change it. I wrote an example here for Chaz: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/How-to-execute-two-steps-in-parallel/td-p/1449874
It's the second example that's attached.
Hope this helps,

How to load a variable using MATLAB Script?

I need to load a selected variable from .mat file, using MATLAB script , and analyse it.
the attched shows my vi, there are two inputs nodes 'file' contains the .mat file path, and 'varn' contains varibale name in that .mat file which can be selected by user. Using " load(file)" the whole .mat file is loaded in the workspace and become avaiable at output node, however I am not able to pass a selected variable name through string "varn" input, MATLAB script does not recognize the variable.
any idea to reslove it is realy appreciated.

Programatically create local variable in TestStand

Can somebody please explain the process of creating a local variable programatically? I have searched the forums but haven't found what I am looking for yet.
I have an array of unknown size. I use a foreach loop to step through the array and grab the data that I need. I need to put that string in a Local String Variable that I can use later.
Any help is much appreciated.
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That did exactly what I wanted it to do thank you. Now I want to take it one step further...
I have a local variable array called RI_Equipment that is of an unknown size. The array contains a container data. I want to create a variable of name ri_nameField+"_ID" and then set the value of that variable to what is contained in RI_Equipment[x].ri_IDField. Hope that all makes sense. Below is the statement I have in TestStand however TS tells me that this will cause a run-time error. What am I doing wrong?
Locals.NewSubProperty(Locals.RI_Equipment[Locals.loopcounter].ri_nameField+"_ID",PropValType_String,False,"",0) = Locals.RI_Equipment[Locals.loopcounter].ri_IDField

Create local variable in Vendor mode

Hi everybody,
I´m using B1if 1.11.2 in Vendor mode.
When trying to create a local variable I´m getting the following error message:
!http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/655879/pastedImage_1.png|height=56|style=width: 287px; height: 55.7344px;|alt=|width=287|class=jiveImage|src=http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/655879/pastedImage_1.png!
But the scenario is not activated. I have cleared the setup, but I´m still getting the same error.
BTW. I can edit the local variables in customer mode ...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
greetings

Hi Matthias,
I am not sure about the exact problem - at least I don't remember it (the version you are using is 3 years old)...
...at that time I am sure I didn't use local variables anyway.
...would it be an option to upgrade (only integration framework?) to a newer version?
Questions:
...is customer mode / vendor mode the only difference?
I.e. the namespace is the same?
Did you create the step in Vendor mode - or Customer mode?
Regards,
Frank

Got an error while creating bind variables using sql database.

iam going to use sql database for ADF-BC .
i created the bind variable and apply the bind position for the corresponding variable in the view object editor.when i click test it shows me "query is valid". when i tried to run that it gives me two errors.
1) sql error during statement preparation.(ie) select empid ,empname......from the emptable where empid like :'emp' and
2) [Microsoft][SQl server 2000 driver for jDBC] invalid parameter bindings
i need help to know the solution for this...(or) is there any other way to create bind variable ......

The 3 binding styles supported by JDev:
Oracle Named - ie. SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :vEmp (note colon and variable name)
Oracle Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :1 (note colon)
JDBC Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = ?
Literally this query is sent to the database to execute, then the bind variables values are applied as a separate database operation. If SQL Server doesn't suport any of these binding styles, it's not going to work. As Chris Noonan suggests, try the JDBC Positional style though as you're using a JDBC driver to connect to SQL Server and it should support that style (the others are Oracle styles), and make sure you've switched the binding style on the VO query page to "JDBC Positional" too.
You must also on the VO bind variable page define your bind variables.
Also read the 10.1.3 JDev guide on ADF Business Components and View Object bind variables.
