Get date-time from .lvm

With Labview I've created a .lvm file with 6 colums of data. The .lvm also contains a x value (+1 for each row) so i'm saving 1 row of data every second.
If I plot the data in Diadem the X-axis shows up as relative time, but I want to see the absolute time (date+time). All the information is to do this is present in the header of the .lvm, but I cant find the setting to do this!
Thank in advance!

Hi Inspectation,
OK, I got your *.LVM file, and all is clear.  The problem in this case is that DIAdem 2010 and prior versions are hiding the absolute date/time property of the waveform from you in an attempt not to confuse you.  But since that's exacty what you want to see, this approach ends up being very confusing indeed, even though it works great for most of our customers.
The good news is that the LVM DataPlugin is parsing the absolute date/time property for each channel, and that property is being loaded (invisibly) into the Data Portal, so you can run a VBScript to fish out that information and create a new DateTime channel to plot the data against on the X axis:
OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim GroupIdx, ChanIdx
GroupIdx = GroupDefaultGet
IF GroupChnCount(GroupIdx) > 0 THEN
ChanIdx = CNoXGet(GroupIdx, 1)
Call WfmToDateWfm(ChanIdx, "DateTime")
Call ChnRenumber
END IF
Function WfmToDateWfm(Channel, DateTimeChanName)
Dim ChnStartTime, OffStartTime, ChnDeltaTime, RelStartTime, RelStopTime, DateTimeChannel
IF ChnPropValGet(Channel, "waveform") <> "Yes" THEN Exit Function
ChnStartTime = CDbl(CDate(ChnPropValGet(Channel, "wf_start_time")))
OffStartTime = ChnPropValGet(Channel, "wf_start_offset")
ChnDeltaTime = ChnPropValGet(Channel, "wf_increment")
RelStartTime = 24*3600*(Trunc(ChnStartTime) + 693958 + Abs(Frac(ChnStartTime))) + OffStartTime
RelStopTime = RelStartTime + ChnDeltaTime*(ChnLength(Channel) - 1)
IF DateTimeChanName = "" THEN DateTimeChanName = ChnName(Channel) & " DateTime"
Call GroupDefaultSet(ChnGroup(Channel))
DateTimeChannel = ChnLinGen("/" & DateTimeChanName, RelStartTime, RelStopTime, ChnLength(Channel))
ChnFormat(DateTimeChannel) = "Time"
Call ChnMove(DateTimeChannel, ChnGroup(Channel), ChnIndex(Channel))
WfmToDateWfm = DateTimeChannel
End Function ' WfmToDateWfm()

  • Get Date +time from Oracle

    hi ,
    i saw that i can take date and time in seperate from the ResultSet .
    how can i take the Time part as well from the date in the DB .
    is there a way to create a new Date with the Time from the DB concatinated to it ?
    doing as follows is apparently wrong ...
    Date taskStartDate = rs.getDate("start_assign");
                   Time taskStartTime = rs.getTime("start_assign");
                   long tt= taskStartTime.getTime();
                   Date taskStartDate = new Date(taskStartDatetmp.getTime()+tt);please advise .

    You could convertjava.sql.Date sqlDate = resultSet.getDate("foo");
    java.util.Date javaDate = new
    java.util.Date(sqlDate.getTime());
    This only works if the driver is ignorant enough to pass through millisecond values containing hours/minutes/seconds to the sql.Date, thus violating the contract of sql.Date.

  • How to get data back from an action ?

    Hello,
    Would it be possible to get data back from an action (out of the question EO_MESSAGE & ET_FAILED_KEY )?
    For example we got an order with order positions and we need a "function" to e.g. count all positions. Because of Performance the function should not be processed each time the order is changed, read or a position is added. Instead the function should be processed only if it was called explicitly.
    Is it possible to create a kind of action which is actually counting all entries and export the number of them?
    How to mark a parameter in is_parameters as exporting?
    Is this just done by (naming-) convention?
    What is the preferred way to have “methods” with returning/exporting values?
    Regards,
    Lorenz

    Hello Lorenz,
    As you have already figured out , the Action API provides you with only the messages and failed keys if any.
    Post action execution , you can always execute a retrieve or retrive by association , to get the latest buffer snapshot , which of course would include the changes that you have made in your action.
    If you want to ensure that users have explict control on execution of your "fucntion", then of course , you should model it as an action on the BO.
    The parameter is_parameters is an IMPORTING parameter. You CANNOT use it to export anything back from the action. For importing ,  you can of course have any structure to use as the is_paramaters , which you model as the action parameter structure which modelling your BO action.
    From an external entity the only way to interact with a BO is by consuming the BO services and you are bound by the BOBF standard interfaces. Any and all data you require needs to be modelled as node attributes ( persistent or transient ) and fetched using the RETRIEVE, RETRIEVE_BY_ASSOCIATION or QUERY services.

  • How to get system time from cRIO?

    Hello,
    I have an NI cRIO-9076 chassis with an NI-9467 GPS module and an NI-9234 module.
    I've downloaded the FPGA Timekeeper application which synchronises the FPGA clock to the 1PPS GPS, this works well.  What I want to do is create a trigger that at a pre-defined HH:MMS the system will start to acquire and log data from the Accelerometers connected to the NI-9234 module.
    I have added the controls for the entry of the HH:MMS and calculated the time in seconds.  I would like to compare the system clock once it is locked to the entered timestamp and then trigger.
    As I only have a value that represents seconds in the day I need to calculate the offset from EPOCH to compare against the GPS time reference.  I have read that the NI system clock runs from 01/01/1904 instead of the EPOCH 01/01/1970.
    The question is how do I get the current system time so that I can compare it against the entered time?  I only need seconds in the day = (HH * 3600) + (MM * 60) + (SS)
    Thank you,
    Kind Regards,
    Simon

    You should use the Get Date/Time in Seconds VI which will return a timestamp. You can then format this timestamp using the Format Date/Time String to give you exactly the time format that you need. Then you can extract the numbers you need and do your math.

  • Getting data transfered from old HD to new ones, leaving 2 slots filled . .

    Hello,
    *(Below is a thread I started in another forum, but, didn't get my final questions answered (see at bottom of this post in BOLD), and am hoping for further help and suggestions. I know there is a lot to read here, but, I think this information will help other novices, such as myself. Thanks!)*
    I have 2 new HDs (each 1T) uninstalled, and I have my old HD (160 gigs) currently residing in one of the two slots in my G5. Any ideas on the best way/process to get the data transfered from the old HD to the new ones, leaving my two slots filled with the 2 new drives AND my data from the old HD transfered and intact, with a RAID0 setup?
    OR, are there any other suggestions on a good setup with the 2 new HDs??
    I'm open to suggestions.
    I always back-up on external HDs, so, is their a need for me to worry about setting up a RAID0??
    I'm doing video processing for DVD release.
    Should I just max out the 2x1T gig HDs and not worry about a HD failure??
    All Suggestions welcomed!!
    Thanks, Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    You are limited with only 2 drive slots. In this scenario what usually works best is a small fast drive (eg Velocirapter or SSD) for OSX/Applications and a large drive for video files. It is not advisable to have the operating system running from a striped array.
    Since you already have the drives, here is what you can do.
    Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    *Hey Cutterman,*
    Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good set-up. I'll have to research the process of doing what you've advised, but, should work out ok:
    A. Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions:
    1. Partitions are done under Disc Utilities correct? Never done it before; will take a look.
    B. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    2. GPT is also done under Disc Utilities, correct? Here I start to get a bit confused, as I've formatted Extended Journal, SO, the partition with the OSX & Applications is formatted GPT, and the rest of the HD is formatted as Extended Journal?
    C. Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    3. So, I partition the first new HD and use Carbon Copy Cloner (also under Disc Utilities) to copy the OSX & Applications from my original HD to the first new HD, correct?
    D. Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    4. This will be an option when I setup the partition???
    E. Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    F. Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    5. QUESTION: So, you recommend not striping the HDs: If I do a RAID 1, which sets up a mirror of the HDs, and since the first new HD is partitioned with the OSX & Applications, AND is set up as the Startup Disk, then the second new HD will also mirror that?? Another QUESTION: Even if the second new HD does not mirror the OSX & Applications, the second HD will only mirror the space/partition not utilized by the OSX & Applications partition, correct?
    Thanks for your help!!
    Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    OK I will try to answer your questions. To begin, if you want to mirror the 2 drives then you will need to boot from the SL install DVD or an external (USB/firewire) drive to set it up. IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.
    1) Yes partitions are created in Disk Utility
    2) Yes, you choose a volume Scheme (ie number of partitions) and size them by dragging the separator bar. Then select the planned boot partition and click Options..., then choose GPT. I think it is usually the default but check and make sure. Extended journaled is the usual format.
    3) You need to download Carbon Copy. It is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable. Consider making a donation as it is a very useful and frequently updated utility. It is fairly intuitive to use. You can also use the restore feature in Disk Utility but I have had more experience with Carbon Copy.
    4) Once the copy process is finished the new boot partition will show up under the startup disk selections (this tool is in System Preferences).
    *FROM 666Sheep:*
    If may i correct one thing: OP, don't choose GPT (GUID Partition Table). You got PPC Mac (G5), so valid partition type for you is Apple Partition Map (APM).
    GPT is for Intel Macs and you will not able to boot from this kind of partition.
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    Thanks for the correction- my bad. No familiarity with non-Intel Macs.

    *Hi All,*
    *Since this process will come to a head on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I hope to be successful in transferring Old HD data to new HD/s.*
    *A: I'm still a little foggy here, as I thought I'd set up the 2 new T-gig HDs so that if one of them failed, I'd still have the data backed up on the other HD; more ideas concerning this would be reassuring:*
    *WHAT DOES "IMO" mean?*
    *(IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.)*
    *As I understand the points made: After I partition the first new HD, and Carbon Copy data from old HD, I then install second new HD, and this will just act as an overflow from the first partitioned HD, correct? Because, if set up a Raid1/Mirror, the OSX partitioned portion of the first new HD will not copy to the second new HD, and that space on the second new HD will be wasted, correct?*
    *Also: I have to set up RAID1 (if I do not set up RAID0), correct?*
    *RAID 1*
    *From WIKI: RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio real time mirroring. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.*
    *Carbon Copy is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable.*
    *1. Is my old HD partitioned? Is that done automatically by MAC prior to PC purchase?*
    *2. Do I Carbon Copy the whole old HD or just parts? (eg. OSX, Photo Shop, After Effects, Various Files)*
    *3. I read that it is necessary to DEACTIVATE Photo Shop (I have CS3) prior to doing Carbon Copy. Is that correct? If so, does this also apply to other Adobe applications? Such as After Affects, Illustrator??*
    *Thanks to all for the help!!*

    Confusing Information:
    A1: You also want to make sure the drive you are backing up to is formatted Mac HFS Extended (HFS+) if using Mac OS 8.1 or above.
    A2: On PowerPC Macs, your clone should be partitioned as Apple Partition Map.
    *Q? I thought the new HD (1T) should be formatted in Extended Journaled?*
    B: Also disable Spotlight (in 10.4 only) on your destination drive using Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to add the destination drive to the pane.
    *Q? I'm using 10.4.11, so, I should follow these instructions?*
    C: If possible, boot into safe mode to perform the backup (holding the SHIFT key at startup). In addition, you can clone while logged into another administrative user that you don't use at all to avoid further complications of changes which may be happening to your regular user (though don't use Fast User Switching to get into that other user, since that other user is still active when fast user switching is used). Otherwise you are going to be running a backup on a live system which could have changes happening while you are attempting to backup. These may yield an imperfect clone, with uncertain success at recovery. It may be possible that your clone will have its own hardware issues, so make at least two copies.

  • How to get Date value from database and display them in a drop down list?

    Hello.
    In my Customers table, I have a column with Date data type. I want to create a form in JSP, where visitors can filter Customers list by year and month.
    All I know is this piece of SQL that is convert the date to the dd-mm-yyyy format:

    Thanks,
    Rightbrainer.

    Hi
    What part is your biggest problem?? I am not experienced in getting data out of a database, but the way to get a variable amount of data to show in a drop down menu, i have just messed around with for some time and heres how i solved it... In my app, what i needed was, a initial empty drop down list, and then using input from a text-field, users could add elements to a Vector that was passed to a JComboBox. Heres how.
    package jcombobox;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.Vector;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Main extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
        private Vector<SomeClass> list = new Vector<SomeClass>();
        private JComboBox dropDownList = new JComboBox(list);
        private JButton addButton = new JButton("add");
        private JButton remove = new JButton("remove");
        private JTextField input = new JTextField(10);
        private JPanel buttons = new JPanel();
        public Main() {
            addButton.addActionListener(this);
            remove.addActionListener(this);
            input.addActionListener(this);
            buttons.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
            buttons.add(addButton);
            buttons.add(remove);
            add(dropDownList, "North");
            add(input, "Center");
            add(buttons, "South");
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            if (e.getSource() == addButton) {
                list.addElement(new SomeClass(input.getText()));
                input.setText("");
            } else if (e.getSource() == remove) {
                int selected = dropDownList.getSelectedIndex();
                dropDownList.removeItemAt(selected);
        public void init(String[] args) {
            setSize(400,300);
            getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            getContentPane().add(new Main());
    }And that "SomeClass" is show here
    package jcombobox;
    public class SomeClass {
        private String text;
        public SomeClass(String input) {
            text = input;
        public String toString() {
            return text;
    }One of the things i struggled a lot with was to get the dropdown menu to show some usefull result. If the list just contains class references it will show the memory code that points to that class. Thats where the toString cones in handy. But it took me some time to figure that one out, a laugh here is welcome as it should have been obvious :-)
    When the app is as simple as this one, using a <String> vector would have been easier, but this is just to demonstrate how to place classes in a vector and get some usefull info out of it, hope this answered some of your question :-)
    The layout might have been easier to write, than using the toppanel created by the JApplet and then the two additional JPanels, but it was just a small app brewed together in 15 minutes. Please comments on my faults, so that i can learn of it.
    If you need any of the code specified more, please let me know. Ill be glad to,

  • How convert date/time from xml in xdp(Designer)?

    Hi, i want to convert date/time format from xml in Designer, date/time value in xml is NOT in common format YYYY-MM-DD (if is in a common format i can do this with pattern)
    I have a "DateTime" Field in Xdp can get from Xml date and time:
    In XML <DateTime>DD-MM-YYYY</DateTime> i want to convert in XDP in DateTime Field in "DD-April-YYYY"
    Can i do this?

    You can do this way..
    Bind the date field to your XML tag.
    Set the display pattern for the date field.
    In the initialize event of the date field place the following code.
    Set JavaScript as language.
    var dtStr = this.rawValue;
    var pos1=dtStr.indexOf("-");
    var pos2=dtStr.indexOf("-",pos1+1);
    var strMonth=dtStr.substring(0,pos1);
    var strDay=dtStr.substring(pos1+1,pos2);
    var strYear=dtStr.substring(pos2+1);
    //Assign the formatted value to the Date field.
    this.rawValue = strYear + "-" + strMonth + "-" + strDay;
    Thanks

  • Error in cfqueryparam, when getting date field from cfpop

    Hi all,
    i'm taking data from cfpop to store them in the database.
    There are problems with date data:
    INSERT .....
    POST_DATE = <cfqueryparam value="#date#"
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
    But it fails in some situations, for instance:
    The cause of this output exception was that:
    coldfusion.runtime.locale.CFLocaleBase$InvalidDateTimeException:
    "19 Sep 2006 00:51:33 +0200" is an invalid date or time string
    Ok, I'm using English locale and tried to use
    ParseDateTime(date, 'pop'). But it doesn't work either (!):
    "19 Sep 2006 00:51:33 +0200" is not a valid date format. But
    'pop' supposes, that this is format with time zone offset!!
    P.S. The problem was that some email messages had incorrect
    date format: one didn't have a day of week, another one - even day
    of month!!!
    To make life simpler, i've just added a regexp check:
    <cfif
    ReFindNoCase("[A-z]{3}\,\s[0-9]{2}\s[A-z]{3}\s[0-9]{2,4}\s[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\s(?: \+|\-)?[0-9]{4}",
    date, 0)>
    <cfset dateField = date>
    <cfelse>
    <cfset dateField = now()>
    </cfif>
    I'm not going to parse every possible date format
    error.

    I don't believe there's anyway to have Access ignore it on an import. What you can try instead is link to the file (instead of importing it) and write a query that updates the table based on the linked table, with an appropriate edit on the date/time field.

    You will do it as you do with standard date time field
    ="Report Execution Date : " & Month(Globals!ExecutionTime)&"/"& Day(Globals!ExecutionTime)& "/" &Year(Globals!ExecutionTime)
    Would be one way .
    Thanks

  • How to save record date/time from camcorder as subtitle or text overlay

    DV camcorders record information on the tape with the date and time when each frame was recorded. How can I save this information so that it ends up as a subtitle on the DVD or as an overlay on the video? I don't want to lose this information. I would think many people want to remember when they took pictures of their kids to they can figure out how old they were. I haven't found a way to do it. Would never have believed it would be so hard.
    iMovie uses this information to split up clips. You can also view the date and time when getting information about a clip, but it ends up being lost when creating a movie or DVD.
    I've suggested this as an enhancement to iLife, but I doubt they will implement it.

    I've suggested this as an enhancement to iLife, but I doubt they will implement it.
    I asked two 'makers' of plug-ins, Bruce from geethree.com and Christian from imovieplugins.com: both confirmed, the info IS inside the dv-streams you import from your camera (select clip, hit Apple-I ...), but it is actually impossible to 'program' with this info.. (they spoke of a missing API.. me no programmer, ??? )
    so, only way: read out info manually and type timestamp in some nice 'title' effect...
    ok, there's a 'hard way': set camcorder to display timestamp while playback and re-record to a second camcorder via analogue-connection... no, I prefer titles ;-))
