Group 8 channel (binary) to octal/hexadecimal

Hi,
Let say I have 8 channel of binary data in array and plotted to the graph. If button "Grouping" pressed, then the 9th channel will be plotted, which is in octal value (Sum of binary value at the same sample).
<Please refer to the picture attach>.
I m using HSDIO 6552 to generate and acquisite the data, and I need to group some of the acquisited data.
Problem:
I don't know how to generate the 9th channel on the graph, as shown in the attached pic. So, I m seeking help on how to "Add" the octal-value channel. Any1.. pls help.. Thanks in advance.

Hi engwei,
One way to display it programmatically is to use property nodes. They allow you to change the visibility, data type, transition type, etc. of an active plot. To access the property nodes of a graph, right-click on it and select Create >> Property Node. Attached is a screenshot of a property node I used to change one of my graph plots. Let me know if you have any further questions, thanks!

Here's an animated binary and octal counter

I was inspired by the "Milliseconds.fx" code example in the NetBeans pack and coded this animated counter. I've done binary and octal so far, but I'm going to work on abstracting a base class before doing decimal and hex. I know it's not all elegant and perfect, but it was a lot of fun.

How do I create a group of channels for input to a AI multi point

Hi,
How do I create a group of channels for input to a AI multi point, so that I can output it to 3 different graphs.I figured out the graphs but I am not able to figure out how to create the group of channels for the input.I saw many examples where a group of channels is given as an input.

hello
You have to put Daq Mx Create virtual channel.vi in a For loop. out side that u should give an array of virtual channel which ever you need to acquire. i am sending the vi in 7.0 too.

Conversion of a binary data stream to decimal numbers

Hi
I am having great difficult working out how to convert my binary data stream to decimal numbers.
The data I am reading back is in the format of a binary string, starting with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the first word, then the corresponding Least Significant Bit (LSB), where a word is two bytes long. A carriage return indicates message termination. The return message starts with ‘bin,’ followed by the number of bytes requested. No delimiters are used to separate the data, but a carriage return is appended onto the end of the data.
bin,<first word msb><first word lsb>...<last word lsb><CR>
e.g. bin,$ro¬z1;@*...etc
Does anybody know of any examaple vi that can help me convert this data from binary to decimal numbers?
Many Thanks
Ash

Hi Ashley,
after getting the string you can strip the first 4 characters. After this try a typecasting to array of U16. If the numbers are not correct, you can add a swap bytes operation to the resulting array.

Very Urgent - Converting Character value to Hexa Decimal value

Hi
data: lv_stsor_hex(16) type X.
p_is_ppc_comp_conf-stsor is a char 10 field ***
<b>write p_is_ppc_comp_conf-stsor to lv_stsor_hex.</b> "<-- Hex Conversion
In 4.6C version this write statement is working fine but this is obsolete in ECC 6.0
and its showing syntax error.
Can anyone tell me how to convert a 10 char length value to a hexa decimal value
which is of 16 characters length and of type hexadecimal
Thanks a lot. Points will be rewarded immediately.

Hi,
Use the Function module CHAR_HEX_CONVERSION.
report zeta_hex.
data: s type string.
data: h(1) type x.
data: c(1) type c.
data: byte(2) type c.
data: length type i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <DUMMY>.
s = 'ThisIsAString'.
length = strlen( s ).
do length times.
byte = ( sy-index - 1 ).
c = s+byte(1).
* You can do this
ASSIGN h TO <DUMMY> TYPE 'X'.
WRITE c TO <DUMMY>.
* or you can do this
* call function 'CHAR_HEX_CONVERSION'
*       exporting
*            input     = c
*       importing
*            hexstring = h.
write:/ h.
enddo.

Character to Hexa decimal

Hi ,
Is there any CLASS->METHOD which converts character values to Hexa decimal values?
I am getting a syntax error in ECC 6.0.
Please provide some example.

Hi,
(p_is_ppc_comp_conf-stsor is 10 char field.)
data: lv_stsor_hex(16) type X.
write p_is_ppc_comp_conf-stsor to lv_stsor_hex. "<-- Hex Conversion
In 4.6C the write statement is working and the 10 char value is getting converted to a 16 length hexa field.
But in Upgrade its showing error in EPC saying that cannot write 10 char value into a hexa field.

Properties (group and channel) added are not a numeric data type.

I am using a dataplugin to add both group and channel custom properties. The properties are both text and numeric, doubles and integers.
When I create a query in Navigator, I select the custom property using the dropdown, but the operator dropdown only has "=" or "<>". The property displayed in the Data Portal is a float number. I was having this problem when I was adding custom properties using a script. I then tried "Navigatorettings/My DataFinder/Reset/Reset Index", then repopulated my Search Area, using the dataplugin on my raw data files. At this point, all my properties only have the "=" or "<>" operator choices in the query.
So it appears that my properties are numeric in the Data Portal, but string in the Navigator Query.
In advance, thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Bill,
could it be the properties you are talking about are already "optimized" for query?
In case yes, did you do the optimization by script like
Dim oMyDataFinderSettings
Set oMyDataFinderSettings = Navigator.ConnectDataFinder("My DataFinder").GetSettings()
Call oMyDataFinderSettings.OptimizeCustomProperty(eSearchChannel, "Author_age")
And did you do this, before DataFinder has indexed some of your files?
In case yes, DataFinder has to make a guess the datatype of the property without example - so always "string" is chosen.
(If DataFinder has already indexed some(or better all) files containing the property, DataFinder will "optimze" the property in the datatype which occurs most for this property.)
In case you know the datatype of the property you are about to "optimze", you can provide this information to DataFinder
Call oMyDataFinderSettings.OptimizeCustomProperty(eSearchChannel, "myText", DataTypeString)
Call oMyDataFinderSettings.OptimizeCustomProperty(eSearchChannel, "myInt", DataTypeInt32)
Call oMyDataFinderSettings.OptimizeCustomProperty(eSearchChannel, "myFloat", DataTypeFloat64)
Call oMyDataFinderSettings.OptimizeCustomProperty(eSearchChannel, "myDate", DataTypeDate)

Target Group to Channel - Trying to use 2 channels when only 1 is specified

I have created a Target group and then in the marketing planner create a campaign. Under the channel I have specified Phone which is linked to creating a transaction. I activate the campaign and then choose target group to channel.
The job is scheduled and does run.... However it ends in error saying "No Mail form exist for communication channel Email"
so no transactions are saved.
I am confused as I only specified the channel to be Phone NOT email..... I do not want to send any emails for this.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and can they advise on the solution.
Many Thanks
Caroline

So is question too easy that no one wants to respond? Since the new 10.7.3 update I can see the same result on the file sharing page where it shows who's logged in. Am I the only showing 2 of the same users logged in?
I was thinking because I created users and then deleted them, and the re-created the same users that's why it's occurring. When I log in from a windows machine I only see 1 user with a SMB share. But when I log in from Mac I see 2 users with the AFP share. Both users are exactly the same.
Here's one more bit regarding this. If I log in on Mac with Lion then there are 2 duplicate users and if you wait a few minutes only 1 of duplicate users will show time. The other does not. But if I log in from a Mac with Snow Leopard then it shows 2 duplicate users as above but neither of them show any time.
I can't be the only peron having these problems can I?
So if these duplicate users were caused from me creating and deleting users, where (what file) is the user name stored?
Please someone.

JMS sender channel binary format possible?

Hi,
We're still having codepage problems from MQ to SAP via JMS.
We send text messages, the QM format name is MQSTR and the message type is datagram.
At the moment SAP development is saying:
If the XML is encoded in anything other than UTF-8, then the
javax.jms.Message object must be be a BinaryMessage and not a
TextMessage. All TextMessages are interpreted to be UTF-8
My remarks on this:
-If we send UTF-8 the data is still corrupted in the end sap system so still the adapter seems to working incorrectly
-I have the feeling that in the JMS sender channel the CCSID parameter has no influence whatsoever on the application data translation
But I want to try anything, so how would I configure a JMS (MQ) sender channel for binarymessage. It seems that the JMSMessageType parameter is only valid for receiver channels. Ok, I can image that the sending side (MQ) should set the message type but then still I think the module configuration/sequence should be different than the standard one.
Anyone a clue what this should be?
thanks
Tom

Problem solved...
We finally managed to send a binary file to XI.
We had to do two changes to accomplish this, first make sure when we read the file from its source directory that no automatic translation is done (remove O_TEXTDATA switch from C api on iseries).
Secondly in MQ change the message format from MQSTR meaning text message to Blanks.
The messages in MQ are not human readable anymore, but when looking at the hex codes it is proper utf-8.
Now the special characters are correct in the XI monitors and also in the receiving SAP systems.
I suspect the cause of the problem to be in the iseries only partial support for the utf-8 encoding.
a nice way to end the week..

Sorry, LabVIEW 7 is ancient. You are already typecasting a number to a string elsewhere, so you simply need to do the reverse: typecast the string to a U8 constant.
Create a U8 diagram constant bu placing a numeric diagram constant and setting the representation to U8 (right-click...representation). Wire that as type as follows: (read string is set to hex display, but that is just cosmetic)
