Data format problem with Write to Spreedsheet File

I have a problem with the data format with Write to spredsheet file.
I have an N*3 array, where the 3 elements in each row should has different length. When I used Write to spreedsheet file,
it can only save the three data in one format. How can I save them in the format of "%0.8f %0.3f %0.2f"?
Thanks for your help.

Hi powerplay,
another solution may be to convert column-wise using "number to fractional string", then interleaving resulting arrays and again using "array to spreadsheet string" (with "space" as separator).
Many ways lead to Rome

  • Problem with Write To Measurement File Express VI not writing to file if file was deleted after the first call (7.1)

    I'm using the Express Write to LabVIEW Measurement File in LV7.1.
    I have it set to "Save to one file"  and have tried both "Overwrite file" and "Using next available file name" for the "If a file already exists" conditions.
    The path/filename is passed into the function.
    It works fine the first time around.  If the file is deleted before the function is called again, an error occurs since LV is unable to find the file.
    I have had to stop and re-run my program in order to write to use the function again.
    Since I am able to delete the file I assume it was closed but it seems like LV expects it to be there, even though the function was supposed to create/open/close the file...  Is there any way to reset this without stopping/restarting the program?
    Since my application creates several files (only one using the Express VI) I am checking for the filenames and requiring that they be deleted (or a new filename be used) before acquiring data.  Everything has worked great, except for the Express VI.
    Thank you,
    David

    Ok, I've edited the VI you posted to reproduce my error (this time with 8.0). 
    I added a "master stop" and "start log" button.  To demonstrate my problem:
    1.  Run the VI
    2.  Click "START LOGGING" - c:\test.txt is created
    3.  Click "STOP" - c:\test.txt is closed
    4.  Delete the file c:\test.txt with Windows shell or explorer
    5.  Click "START LGGING" - a new c:\test.txt file should be created but instead an error is raised in the Write LabVIEW Measurement File function.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Problems with write to measuremen​t file

    My VI doesn't seem to write my signal properly when writing is enables.. however, if i change the "Write to measurement file" Express VI to a Write to Spreadsheet function, the signal is written correctly. From what I understand in previous discussions, there is a bug associated with enabling a write to measurement file, so is there a way to enable write to spreadsheet instead of using the express VI or is there a way I can bypass this bug?
    Thanks,

    Analog test and collection.vi ‏700 KB

    This is my second program ever written, first in matlab, so I am very new to the field. So why I choose one way over another I have no reasoning, all I know is that it works. I am collecting electromyography analog signals, with a range of +/-5V.. the "bad" writing with write to meas file is that I am getting a flat signal (range between -.01 to +0.01, give or take).. where when written with write to spreadsheet, the signal has proper voltage range and normal frquency and amplitude characteristics seen in EMGs.
    I tried using a case structure for the write to spreadsheet, however it only writes the buffer size during continuous sampling. I need it to write the entire time the boolean (enable button) is true, also the enable button is operated as switch when pressed.

  • Date Format problem...

    Hi users,
    Forte version : 2.e.2 and ForteWebSDK
    Datacase : Oracle
    We have a problem with a simple HTML text field which acccepts
    a date. When we try to update the record with some date, the following
    exception occurs:
    24-Jun-1998 04:32:28 : XV01086 : Execute failed for SQL statement in
    project Rap
    tServices, class RaptSqlMethods, method updateActivity, methodId 104,
    line 51, e
    rror from database is:
    ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input
    string
    The Oracle manual says that the above exception occurs when there are
    some extra characters on that field, which is not the case. In fact,
    we raise our own exception for the cases like : o1-Apr-1997,
    01-apr-97 etc. The correct format is 01-apr-1998.
    Same date soemtimes is added to the database successfully. Waht I mean
    to say that the exception deos not occur consistently.
    We just conevert the String taken from the HTML field into a Forte
    DateTimeData Object and send it to database. May be, the conversion
    part is causing the problem. But, once again the problem is not
    consistent.
    Any ideas in this will be appreciated.

    We had the same problem when our application first went live. The
    default date format for our Oracle database is 'dd-mmm-yy' without the
    time component. The default format for datatype DateTimeData is
    'dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss'. Since we did not want to change the default date
    format for the Database, we included in our service partitions an Alter
    Session statement to change the NLS_Date_format attribute in Oracle to
    conform to the Forte DateTimeData format. It worked.

    Subject: Re: Date Format problem...
    I was having the same problem a few weeks back when I would
    read/write
    dates to Oracle. I was using objects of type DateTimeData and I would
    occasionally get errors like you said you were. I found discovered my
    problem. Sometimes I would process a null date and would get an error.
    So to
    resolve this issue, I simply changes my objects of type DateTimeData to
    type
    DateTimeNullable. This enabled my Forte Application to handle regular
    dates
    as well as null dates. I have not gotten any oracle errors since then
    with
    regards to dates. Hope this helps.

  • I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...

    I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...what should I do?

    Hi Arika,
    The drivers that you need to install to make your executable work depends on what your executable is doing. To get started, you need to have the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installed on your target machine (the Win2000 machine you are planning to use) in order to run your executable. Next, you need to determine what drivers your executable uses, if any. For example, if you are using GPIB instrument control, you will need to install the NI-488 drivers on your target machine. If you are performing data acquisition, you will need to install NI-DAQ drivers. If you are doing image acquistion, you will need to install NI-IMAQ drivers.
    All these drivers are available for downloading on ni.com. To get the drivers, go to ht
    tp://www.ni.com/support , click on the link that takes you to Drivers and Updates (under Option 3), and click on the links to get to the driver(s) you need. For example, if you need the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time engine, click on the All Drivers and Updates by Application link on the main page (http://www.ni.com/softlib.nsf/). Then click on the LabVIEW link, Windows 2000, Run Time Engine, and then you will see the link to get to the page to download the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time Engine.
    I hope this information helps.

  • Problem with RTPExport output video files

    Hi, I have a problem with RTPExport output video files. One side streams H263/RTP(AVTransmit2.java) and other write this steam to a file by RTPExport.java. When network conditions are ideal, output video file has same fps and same number of frames like original file. Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Its there a way to modifi rtpexport or avreceiver to do this? Thanks a lot!

Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Okay, first off, the second file is smaller on purpose. RTP intentionally drops packets that are old/out of order in order to make sure real-time video stays as close to real time as it can. This is by design, so there's really nothing that can be done about it.
    How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Technically speaking, what you're getting in the RTPExport is exactly what you got on the receiving end. Any frames that are dropped during transmission will not be seen by the receiver, nor saved by the receiver.
    Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? I'm not 100% sure that you can, but, you can give the following idea a try. I make no guarentees that it'll work, but it should work for you...
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/RTPConnector.html]
    That example is an example of a "custom transport layer" for RTP connections. Essentially, it's some code that's handed the RTP packets on the transmission end, and it's expected to deliver those RTP packets on the other end. And it doesn't care about how they get from A to B, only that they do.
    If you were to replace the UDP socket in that example with a TCP socket, you would be guarenteed not to drop packets due to network reasons. Every RTP packet you were handed by the transmitter, you would then hand to the receiver. There is no guarentee that none of the packets would be cast away as "old" by the RTP protocol itself, but there's also no guarentee any of them would be. It's a crap-shoot at best, but it's certainly worth a try.

  • Smartform: Formatting Problem with QUAN-Field

    I want to print a smartform and get exception 1 (formatting error). With function SSF_READ_ERRORS I get an error table. There is on entry: errnumber = 020011, msgid = SSFCOMPOSER, msgty = E, msgno = 601, msgv1 = wa_outtab-menge.
    It seems to be a formatting problem with field WA_OUTTAB-MENGE. But in the structure this field is referenced correctly.
    Does anybody know a solution?

  • Time with 'Write to measurement file'

    Hello,
    I am making an acquisition waveform. The integration time is 1s divided in 128 samples. When I execute the software, the datas are stored in a text file with 'Write to measurement file'. This text file is a continuous list of 128 numbers-packs in rows.
    I want to add the time column (date+hour+minutes+secondes+1/10sec+1/100sec) in front of each number acquired. (And not only in front of the first number of the 128 package)
    I have don t know how to add this.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    Also, in the setup dialog for the Write Measurement File, there's an option to include an "X Column Value" that normally holds a timestamp.
    Enable one of these options and any included timestamp in your waveform will go into this column. If you don't have a waveform, you can build an extra column in your array of data points with the needed timestamp and it will work the same.

  • I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file down

    Hej!
    I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file downloading, accessing Web pages, none of it works. What is the error?
    Ronnie.

    When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
    Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
    If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

    Hi guys, hope you can help...
    I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
    If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
    If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
    I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
    I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
    (this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
    Thanks for your help.
    DAve.

    maybe I'm onto something...
    I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
    It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
    Any more realistic ideas?

  • Problem with Append mode in File Receiver

    Hello,
    I am facing some problem with Append Mode in File Receiver.
    In channel config, i have given :
    Construction Mode : Append
    File Type : Text
    Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
    The size of the file which i am trying to send is about 9.5MB.
    I got this error,
    "Recovering from loss of connection to database; message
    loaded into queue by recover job: System Job (Failover Recovery)".
    So, it would seem that there was a loss of connnection to the database    
    while the file was being written.
    Note -  XI successfully recovered from the connection loss and   
    successfully wrote the file, however since the communication channel  
    was set to append, it appended to the partial file that was written   
    before the database connection loss. This is not correct. The file    
    should have been overwritten after the recovery even though the communication
    channel was configured to append.                                     
    Can anyone help me on this regard.
    Thanks,
    Soorya.

    Hi Venkat,
    I would suggest u to split the file in to chunks if u face any problem in processing at a time in append mode and also
    Memory Requirements are must 4 processing huge files:
    Q: Which memory requirements does the File Adapter have? Is there a restriction on the maximum file size it can process?
    A: The maximum file size that can be processed by the File Adapter depends on a number of factors:
    o The most important one is the size of the Java heap, which is shared among all messages processed at a certain point in time. In order to be able to process larger messages without an out of memory error (OOM), it is recommended to increase the size of the available Java heap and/or to reduce the concurrency in the system so that fewer messages are processed in parallel.
    o Another factor negatively influencing the maximum message size in releases up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13 is an enabled charcter set (encoding) conversion if the message type is set to "Text".
    o Using the transport protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" also uses more memory for processing than the transport protocol "File System (NFS)" (up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13).
    o If the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion" is used in a File Sender channel, consider that not only the size of the input file affects the File Adapter's memory usage, but even more the size of the XML resulting from the conversion, which is usually a few factors larger than the original plain text file.
    To reduce the memory consumption in this scenario, consider configuring the setting "Maximum Recordsets per Message" for the sender channel. This will cause the input file to be split into multiple smaller mesages.
    Plz do refer the following links:
    U may plan the availability of ur communication channel using "Planning Availability Times" feature

  • A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

    Hi.
    There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
    If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
    If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
    Any help with this problem?
    Thanks.

    How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.
