Having trouble overlaying data on Smith Chart using LabVIEW

I am receiving data from an HP8720A Network Analyzer and want to display it on a Smith Chart. I have developed my VI with the Smith Multi Point.VI as a sub VI. When I run my VI the subVI displays the data but it is not overlayed properly on the Smith diagram. I am normalizing my data and it looks exactly as the analyzer but the data is not directly over the Smith diagram, how can this be corrected?

Alexndr,
Did you ever figure out why your data was not overlaying properly over the smith chart? I have been messing with the same exact issue on the Agilent N5230A I have. The plot is coming out just right, but not overlaying correctly. I have referenced the Smith Multi point.vi with no success. It's starting to become very frustrating, and I just want to get this script up and running.
Basically I have r & i being converted to a complex, then being normalized (50.00), and finally going into the input of the smith.vi.
Argh!!
Any way any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones.

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?

If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

Only the carrier to which it is locked can do it. Contact them.

I have 81,934 items in my trash. Having trouble deleting it. Is it using valuable space?

I have 81,934 items in my trash. Having trouble deleting it. Is it using valuable space?

At first I didn't realize how long it would take to delete 81k items, so when I first tried months ago I had assumed it didn't work-because it didn't seem to be moving. The setting was set to "secure delete". I left the trash to delete securely for 12 hours and it is finally empty. Embarrassing :-( THANKS!!

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.

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.

Add multiple graphs in one chart(ex.scatter chart) using labview excel report generation toolkit

How to add multiple graphs in one chart(ex.scatter chart) using labview excel report generation toolkit. Assume like my test data is like below:

The above graph generated manually in excel. I want to generate the same using excel report generation toolkit. when I use Excel Insert Graph.vi where the input data is 2D array with numeric data but here labview converts the empty cells (eg.x -axis 1,data1- is empty) as zero and while plotting i am getting zero for empty cell values.
Can anyone please help me on how to plot the graph without adding zero for empty cells?
Thanks&Regards,

Hi Bharathi,
The Excel Insert graph function takes in only 2d arrays as inputs. Since arrays can only have numeric values, any table with a null string is read as 0. Now to get a plot like you mentioned, you could read the table and replace blank Strings as NaN. NaN values in an array when plotted do not appear in the excel sheet. For reference I have attached a sample vi to help you understand.

Trouble reading data from GPIB instrument using VISA

Hello, I am having trouble with reading data from a GPIB instrument in LabVIEW. It appears that the data that is returned from VISA read is incorrect. (I used NI Spy to verify what it should be and what I get, they are different) The odd thing is that when I use the VISA interactive control utility to get the data, it works perfectly. Is there some sort of VISA property that I need to set to get it to work right? Writing to the device seems to work correctly. If you need more info, please e-mail me @ [email protected] Thanks in advance!

What exactly do you mean when you say the data you are getting is incorrect? I'm guessing that you are dealing with some sort of data type issue. The VISA Read VI will return a set number of bytes in string (ASCII) format. If you are expecting a different data type, you will have to do some conversion by either using a type cast or string conversion function. The type cast function can be found in the Advanced-> Data Manipulation palette, while the string conversion functions can be found in the String palette.

Data web bean (chart) using a dynamic view object

Please I want a quick help. I read all forums concerning this subject but I still couldn't do it.
- I create a view object which takes a proameter using the ? style parameter.
- I passed the parameter from an html page and execute the query
of the view as follows:
<%
String deptno = request.getParameter("deptno");
if(deptno != null) {
oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry.registerApplicationFromPropertyFile(session , "MyProject21_package3_Package3Module");
oracle.jbo.ViewObject v = oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry.getInstance()
.getAppModuleInstance("MyProject21_package3_Package3Module",request,session)
.findViewObject("View1");
v.setWhereClauseParam(0,deptno);
v.executeQuery();
%>
- And then I used the data web bean chart as follows:
<jsp:useBean class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.ChartRenderer" id="ch" scope="request" >
<%
ch.setReleaseApplicationResources(false);
ch.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"MyProject21_package3_Package3Module.View1");
ch.setCommonScriptName("/webapp/jsp/chart_common.jsp");
ch.getChart().setGraphType(ch.PIE);
ch.setSeriesLabelColumnName("DeptNo");
ch.setDisplayAttributes("CountEmplNo");
ch.getChart().setPieFeelerTextDisplay(0);
ch.getChart().setPieTilt(10);
ch.getChart().setPieRotate(0);
ch.getChart().setLegendDisplay(true);
ch.getChart().setLegendMarkerPosition(0);
ch.getChart().setTitleString("Title");
ch.getChart().setSubtitleString("Subtitle");
ch.getChart().setFootnoteString("Footnote");
ch.setImageWidth(400);
ch.setImageHeight(400);
ch.render();
%>
- I tried to use the View1 as a view name, and the v as a view name
but both of them get the same result
SQL Statement error and the sql statement is displayed with the ? in it which means that he didn't replace it by the parameter.
Please I need quick help.
Thanks.

My apple TV is having trouble setting date and time

While fast forwarding a purchased movie, ATV froze. Then it wouldn't play any movies. Unplugged it, restarted it, tried to reset the settings, and it keeps getting hung up on date and time. Any ideas?
Thanks!

It is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly, DNS should be on automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try Ethernet. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV and router

How to create longtext or blob data types in SQL using labview

Hello,
I am fairly new to SQL, and I'm using the labview database connectivity toolset. Using labview 6.1
I am using the DB Tools Create Table vi to create my tables. I want the tables to hold 1000 character strings. But the longest string that I can insert seem to be 255 characters. I think It is a limitation of the "String" data type in SQL so I need to use text or blob types. The problem is I created a control for the "Column Information" field and I see the following selections for the data type. (String, Long, Single, Double, date/time, binary). I dont see any selection for text or blobs. How do I define another data type that is not part of the selection in the control?
Thanks for any help.

I don't know about defining long text, but the equivalent of a BLOB should be the binary data type, which just holds the data you put into it without formatting it.

"unable to connect" is too vague. What did you try? In MAX TCP/IP instruments don't show up automatically. You have to create a TCP/IP instrument connection. What were your steps? Did it perform a search of the subnet? Did the instrument show up?
If there is no ready instrument driver for TLA7016 or any other TLA series driver can be used for TLA 7016 with LabVIEW?
As noted, there is no ready-made instrument driver for that specific model. As I said, this means you have to modify an existing one, or create your own. Do you have the programming manual for the instrument? If not, get it, as you'll need it. Check to see how you're supposed to communicate with this instrument. Check its programming syntax. Is it message-based. I.e., do you send human-readable strings to it to tell it to do something?
Which version of LABVIEW is compatible with windows 7 ?
Did you try a search? Windows Version Compatibility with LabVIEW

How to handle raw data obtained from CCD using labview?

Hi,
The format in which CCD software saves its data is “16 bits TIFF” or “16 bits FIT format” (FIT format is just the raw data type). I am trying to save this data using labview. It’s not getting saved properly (I get 1 KB file in place of expected 1000KB +). I am using activex that came with my CCD. I am attaching the snap-shot of my screen and I have indicated the places by arrows where I am saving the image. What I believe is going on wrong is that I have not provided “data type” in “variant to data” function (as I do not know what to provide).
Please let me know your suggestion.
Thanks,
DK

Forget my previous reply.
I don't see on the diagram where you select the image type format.
I'm not sure you need the variant to data function. What happens when you wire directly the output of your image node to the image indicator ? Is your image displayed correctly ? I guess it is.
Once you have your image displayed properly, you should use the specific image save functions (in Vision > Vision utilities > files), and you don't need to go though the conversion to array step. JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG formats are available.
