Create sub-group or sub-channel in TDMS file?

Hello All,
I have been presented with a situation where I am required to log data that is arranged in a multi-level hierarchy. My preferred method for data logging is the TDMS format, but it is unclear if I can log more than 2 levels of hierarchy with this option. In the terminology of TDMS file, I would need to create "sub-groups" or "sub-channels" so that all of the data can still be arranged within the same parent group. Is this type of data arrangement possible with a TDMS file?
Thanks,
GSinMN

My understanding is that TDMS files are set at 3 levels of hierarchy: File, Group, Channel. You could probably name the groups to show a parent group such as "Parent:Group".
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Error -2500 while writing new channel groups / channels to tdm-file

I'm creating a tdm-file using the express vis provided by LabView. Everything goes fine in opening the file and setting the file parameters.
When i'm using the write data-express vi to create a new channel group and setting it's parameters i receive an "error -2500" accompanied with the call chain of the vi.
I'm setting the parameters by using a terminal on the express vi and by using the value setting in the express vi configuration. Any ideas what might cause this error?

I solved it. I made the error to begine some of the properties names with a number, eg. 1s for 1 sigma. I renamed them to sigma_1s and it works.

Untitled channels in tdms file

Hello,
I am creating a TDMS file and formating the properties for a number of channels then I close the TDMS reference. and when I have data available to write t the TDMS file I reopen the reference and wrtite to it.
When my acquisition is finished, the TDMS file contain one more channel than the one I created. This channel contain the data that should have been in my first channel and the last channel is empty.
I've attached two images of the VI I'm using
All the properties I set are correct and correspond to the channels I want.

Hi,
If you use the VI "TDMS File Viewer" and check the positioning of the data to ensure it's writing it incorrectly. Also (as it's difficult to see from screenshots) would it be possible for you to include this code in the forum post?
Hopefully then I will be able to help you out more.
Thanks,

SUB-Group consol. in different currency i.e. other than group currency

HI Friends,
Consolidation Group currency is "USD". In the consolidation hierarchy, i have one sub group where all the companies are in AUD.
Now the requirement is that australian sub group requires sub consolidation in AUD.
Currently we are doing sun consolidation and the results are as expected, but they are in group currenmcy "USD".
Is there any option to get the sub groupconsolidation report in AUD i.e. different than group currency.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Richard

Hi ,
Yes it is possible.
Direct in UCMON and change your group currency, but you must do again full proces consoidation in this group currenct, or in your query (query designer) you create a new report and use transaltion currency direct in report.

Number of Groups in TDMS file?

Hello,
Is there a way I can read the number of groups in a pre-existing TDMS file? I want the groups to be named numerically so if I know how many groups there are in a file that was opened, I can automatically set the group name for the next one.
Kenny
Solved!
Go to Solution.

TDMS List Contents is what you're looking for.
You can then do an array size on the Group names list that comes out.

Creating ora_dba group in Windows vista

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10g in a Windows vista environment. The Oracle installation guide "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/intro.htm#i1006491" says that OUI creates the ora_dba group when the oracle s/w is installed. But, the ora_dba group is not created in my system and I also don't have a "local and users group" category in the computer management to create a group either.
The sqlnet.ora file has the parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
So, I was wondering how would a user be authenticated by the OS as a dba...
and also if anybody knows how to create the ora_dba group plz reply...
ur help is greatly appreciated
Thanks.

The best thing you can do with Vista is download VMware Server and use it to run a Centos 4 or 5 virtual machine. Then you will see Oracle run as she was meant to be run.
Vista is a client operating system. Oracle is intended to be run on servers. Enough said.

How to save tdm file from GPI extension DLL

Hi,
Is there any way to save data channels to tdm file format from GPI extension dll.
I've tried lDataSave function, but I get DAT file format.
I've also tried using Diadem.TOCommand interface, It'works with CmdExecuteASync method, but not with CmdExecuteSync (I've thought using a new thread with CmdExecuteASync, but what about synchronization ?).
As I need to run a process like, do something, save tdm file, then do another thing, I'm a little lost.
Thanks for any suggestion.
JMA.

Hello!
First: I have no solution!
Second: Some remarks to using a OLE interface to DIAdem in GPI.
My experience is that there are only few situations and circumstances where it might be the only way to solve a problem. There are some critical things to know. If you create a ToCommand interface it isn't guaranteed that you get an interface to the proccess you are running in. In normal cases it will be but you can't be sure! CmdExecuteSync doesn't work because usually your command is initiated out of a script. While running a script DIAdem will not execute another command.
The problem with CmdExecuteASync is that the command will be put onto the DIAdem command stack. It will be executed after the script is finished. You can not be sure that the channel data is the same as it was at the time you called CmdExecuteASync. Multiple Calls to CmdExecuteASync will be executed after another.
Sorry that I do not have a solution but perhaps I can avoid some frustrating DIAdem-OLE-Test-Sessions.

Tdms files

Hi,
I have a PCI 6132.
I´m using a program to acquire datas in continuos mode, and save it in my pc.
I'm using TDMS files to record it. But this files are too long. I need record it in multiple files to make easy to read after.
Using just one file, it has more than 10Gb, so, I need make multiples files with 1Gb each one, for example.
Thanks,
Marcela

Hi,
I think the better idea is to write data into multiple TDMS files when streaming data, instead of split the file into multiple files when you finish writing.
There are at least several ways to split, it depends on your application. For example, if you have multiple groups or channels, you can read from the big one TDMS file group by group and write to new TDMS file for each group. And, you can read samples by samples, for example, if you have 1000 samples in the big one file and you can split the 1000 samples into 10 files and each new file contain 100 samples. Another way is based on TDMS file format, TDMS file is consist of "segments", you can divide the big one file into new files and for each new file, it contains at least one segment (it would be a little complicated for the implementation, you need to know where the segment starts from, etc).
Please refer to www.ni.com/tdms for more reference.

Creating sub groups in iFS...

Please, let me in this...
(1) Does iFS support the creation of sub groups underneath one group?
For example,I am using the iFS Manager, and I want to create groups for that represent companies...Group A, B & C...
Can I also create sub groups, Sales, Marketing and Human Resources for all three groups? and eventually create users for each of these groups?
Thanks...
null

You can definitely create subgroups under the groups you create. Copy and paste the groups into the Group page as you would individual users.
I played with your scenario a little, and there doesn't seem to be a problem in creating subgroups with the same names.
However, when I select a group from the global list, it displays the same user names in any of the matching list names, regardless of their parent group (they still display properly when I open them underneath the parent group).
Even if this did work, in practical terms, you'd end up with a global list of several groups with names that are indistinguishable (Sales, Sales, Sales, Human Resources, Human Resources, Human Resources, etc.).
What I'd recommend is that you create the subgroup names with an abbreviation of the company name.
For example, you could have the ABC company group, then ABC_Sales, ABC_Human Resources, etc. This way you can tell them apart when looking at the global list, there won't be any potential for confusion, and they'll cluster together naturally.

Script to auto zero channels in a TDM file with multiple channel groups

Hi friends,
I am trying to process some data but am having trouble modifying a script to autozero channels across multiple channel groups. The following script works to zero channels across one group. I use this script to process data in a TDM file with only one channel group. I need to be able to zero channels across multiple groups (5 groups). But the amount of groups I will have may change so I might need an option to enter the amount of groups or have the script determine the amount of groups in my TDM file.
Here is the code I use to zero the data. Thanks in advance for your help!
Sub UserDlg_Select
Call USERDLGINIT()
USERDLGCAPTION="Auto Zero Channel Based on Specified Points "
USERDLGTXT(5)="Number of points to Average"
USERDLGCOMMAND(5)="t1"
Call USERDLGOPEN()
End Sub
Call UserDlg_Select()
T2="1-"&T1
For I= 1 To ChnNoMax 'For all data channels except time
T4=CHNNAME(I) 'Create string for Channel name (I)
T3=ChnDim(T4) 'Create text variable for channel dimension
STATSEL(6)="Yes" 'Arith mean
STATCLIPCOPY="yes"
STATCLIPVALUE="No"
Call StatBlockCalc("Channel",T2,T4) 'Calculate Stats for Channel (I)
'Subtract Mean of first (T1) points for Channel (I)
Call FormulaCalc("Ch('temp1') := CH('"&T4&"') - statarithmean")
CHNCOMMENT("temp1")=("Channel zeroed over first "&T1)+"pts" 'Add Comment
ChnDim("temp1")=T3 'Add Dimension
CHNNAME("temp1")=T4+"-Z" 'Save updated data with -Z
'Delete Stat Channels
Call CHNDEL("ArithmeticMean")
Call CHNDEL("Sum")
Next 'End For loop

Hi rvillalta319,
Sounds like you'll need to adapt your code to use both a for loop and some implementation of the GroupCount variable (or ChannelGroups.Count) as seen here:

Sub Group Question?

I have a mixing challenge and I'm not sure if what I want to achieve here is called a sub group or bus or what so maybe you guys can tell me:
I want 18 of my 20 tracks to fade down and verb to fade up before a chorus while the other 2 tracks remain as is. Do I create a new fader and send the 18 tracks to that fader and then automate the volume and verb on that channel to do what i want?
thanks!

Yes, routing those 18 tracks to a Bus/Aux would probably the easiest solution for your quest. So choose e.g. Bus 1 in the ouput section of those tracks (select them all in the mixer while holding down shift - then set any output to Bus 1 - all others will follow), Bus 1 will automactically get assigned to your next free Aux track, send that Aux track pre fader to another Bus/Aux with the reverb inserted, then automate the fade out of the volume fader and the fade in of the reverb send.

Creation of GL account under main group and sub a/c group

my name is swetha,
my clint is asking for creation of GL account in the following manner
under   account group a sub account group, and under sub account group a GL account .
like
account group (ex: loans)
      sub account group (ex: vehical loans)
           GL account       (ex: HDFC bank GL vehical loans)
could you please help me to configure if it is possible, if not plz suggest me the alternate options. thanks in advance.

hi Swetha,
one thing remember u can create all G/L Accounts as one Group but these sub groups are define in FSV so you can tell them first we can create on group that is loans but at the time of FSV u can define number of sub groups because gl master account groups are using for number controlling purpose only.what ever groups u are define in FSV that groups only comes at the time of reports ok.

Sharing A Solution - CREATING A SET OF SUB MENUS ON MAIN MENU IN iDVD

A recent question I posted got some attention from a number of people about how to create a set of sub menus on the main menu of an iDVD project. Evidently there are a number of us who tried to find a way to do this. I attended an Apple Store iDVD workshop and was fortunate enough to be the only one in attendance. So I had the Mac Genius’s attention for a full hour and he was very helpful. Here’s how to do this in detail. Good luck!
- Fred
CREATING A SET OF SUB MENUS ON MAIN MENU IN iDVD
NOTE: when you import the iMovie file don’t add to the drop zones or add music to the sub menus until you finish this work!
Go to the map view. Once in map view choose to show the map view as a flow chart moving from left to right – it’s the left selection of the two which appear on the left-hand side of the sizing slider tool that determines how big the map view icons will appear. You will want to set that slider to the minimum size to make it easier to navigate. Select the main menu icon.
Open the main menu to edit it and select “Scene Selection” and then copy and paste it as many times as you have sub menus. Each sub menu can only hold 6 scenes so if you have 18 scenes you will have 3 sub menus which means you will copy the first one and then past it twice which will give you 3 sets of “Scene Selection” options on the main page.
After you create the set of “Scene Selections” return to map view. You will now have a copy of each group of sub menus under each sub menu. The entire film will be recreated for each set of “Scene Selections” that you have and you need to edit them out so that you have only one for each sub menu.
You CANNOT simply delete the groups in front of the one you want to keep. For instance, suppose you have 3 sub menu groups and you are at the first sub menu selection. You cannot simply delete the first two groups in front of the third one – it will delete all of the sub menus after the one you want.
(REPEAT FROM HERE) Go to the last group of sub menus and select the scenes for the first group of sub menus. In other words go down to the last grouping of sub menus, locate the first sub menu group and choose each scene within the group and delete each one. This will leave you with an empty sub menu. Do this for the next group and any subsequent group up to the last one. Do not delete the last group! This is the group you want at this level.
Once you have deleted the scenes you can cut and paste the last group of scenes to the first sub menu selection in the group. Once done you can delete the other sub menus groups that come after the first one.
Once you have the group of scenes moved to the first sub menu selection you need to change the name of the group of scenes. For instance if you are working on group 13-18 you need to change the group name from 1-6 which is what it is currently named.
Repeat these steps for each successive group moving up from the last one to the top with one change – you will choose to delete the last group from each successive sub menu since you have already saved it in the last group you worked on which is below the one upon which you are now working.
Once you are at the top group you will then simply be able to delete the other sub menus that appear beyond the first one.

Creation of new employee groups and sub groups

Hi All,
What all the steps should I follow to create new employee groups and sub groups? and How many structures should I create for this?
Its urgent pls.......
Good replies will be rewarded!!!!
Regards,
Sita

Hi
You can create the employee groups depending up on your clients requirement, Eg: Permanent, Temporary, Seasonal, Trainee, Advisor etc
And define the employee subgroups and assign them to the employee groups Like
Enterprise structure>Definition>Human Resource Management-->Employee Groups & Employee Groups
Enterprise structure>Assignment>Human Resource Management-->Assign employee subgroup to employee group
you can create employee subgroups depending up on your requirement like asst manager, manager, GM, MD, VP ETC an assign them to the employee subgroups ok.
Ensure that certain empployee subgroups may not be assigned to employee group based on requiremen, but create all the employee sub groups which is existing in the organization.

How to Sum the datafield of a sub-group?

Post Author: [email protected]
CA Forum: General
Hello guys,
I am having this issue that I want to only Sum the datafield at sub-group level, not the detail level. But when I do the sum, it is adding all the details. The reason I am having this is because I have somewhat duplicated details (they complement each other). I merge them using group (by Item). The Item QTY is the feild that they all have and they have the same value, but I only need one of them. Now I want to group them by order number and show the total of items I ordered. I Sum all the items' QTY, but instead of sum the QTY that's merged, it sums all the QTY from detail. Basically I am suming duplicate numbers.
Is there any solution to this? Thank you.

Hello Jagan,
Thank you for the help. I treid the Average running total, but the problem is that I cannot do Summary on those new fields on the parent group. Also I can't get rid of the dupliate because the singel record does not contain enough info, I need all the records to merge togather to collect all the required inforamtion. Before I will just created a merged view on my DB to get rid of duplicate records. But this time, I am linking too much tables (includes external server DB table) that I can't make a view for that.
Basically I have an order that splits into multiple invoices that get shipped using an external server where the Actual Ship Date does not write back to our own ordering system. I am trying to see if all my items are ship on time. So I need to merge all the items QTY from invoices that linked with external shipping DB, and group them in one order.
The main problem I have is that I can't do summary on many custome fields. I can made the correct amount using Formula Field that has a shared flag to not include duplicate numbers. But once I use the shared flag, the forumla is no longer useable by Summary.
Anyway, I think I will just use Excel instead. I already have all the proper data, just that when I do group summary in Crystal, it becomes a problem. I will export the data and do analysis from there.
Thank you for the help
