How can I convert an ac waveform to dc in Labview?

I started out with an AC waveform, and I rectified it. I think that the next step is to add a capacitor. Is this correct? If so, how can I implement a capacitor in Labview? If not, what should I be doing?

With some funky math.
I don't understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to build a circuit? Did you aquire a waveform and are now trying to perform some measurement on it?

How can I convert a Database Handle from TestStand to LabVIEW?

I want to use a Database Handle (already created in TestStand by an Open Database step) in a LabVIEW-VI (called from TestStand) to connect it with the "Connection Reference" input of the "Easy SQL.vi"? If I use a directly connection via the "TestStand - Get Property Value (Number).vi" I get back the error message 4101 in LabVIEW. How can I convert the Database Handle?

The TestStand database step types use the CVI SQL Toolkit to talk to databases. The handle that you are referencing is an internal memory location and not a actual handle that you can directly use. Currently as implemented the handle that is stored in a numeric TestStand property for the connection and the SQL statement are the handle values returned from the CVI SQL Toolkit. So for the connection handle, you could call the CVI SQL Toolkit function
DBGetConnectionAttribute (
int Connection_Handle,
tDBConnectionAttr Attribute,
void *Value);
and get the CVI CAObjHandle reference. With this you could then call the CVI ActiveX function
CA_GetInterfaceFromObjHandle(
CAObjHandle Object_Handle,
const IID *Interface_Id,
int Force_AddRef,
void *Inte
rface_Ptr,
int *Did_AddRef);
to get the actual ActiveX interface reference. This would have to be converted into a LabVIEW reference.
You may want to consider just using LabVIEW to open a new parallel reference only using the toolkit.

How can I convert the "AI one pt" symbol from LabVIEW 6.3 to LabVIEW 8.0?

Hi,
I've got an assignment with LabVIEW and I work with LabVIEW 8.0. The program I work with is written in LabVIEW 6.3 and had to be converted to LabVIEW 8.0. That went very well, except for one symbol. The "AI one pt" symbol (see enclosed figure) turned into an empty box (question mark). My question to you is how can I overcome this problem, or how can I simulate this symbol with LabVIEW 8.0?
With kind regards,
Sander Smeets

Hello,
Graziano is right about this. To make it completly clear: The block you refer to as a symbol is a VI belonging to the Traditional NI-DAQ driver. Currently there are two drivers for DAQ boards: DAQmx (the new one) and Traditional NI-DAQ (the old one). Since your VI was written in LabVIEW 6.x (6.3 never existed) the VI uses the old driver. What you need to do is: install Traditional NI-DAQ on your PC to get the support VI's for the driver in LabVIEW. This Traditional NI-DAQ installer should be on the driver CD which was delivered along with LabVIEW 8.0 or you can download it here:
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/586/lang/en
There is one good point though which Graziano already mentioned: Which DAQ board are you using? It could be that you will need an ever older version of NI-DAQ (traditional) to get your DAQ board supported. Let me know if you have any more questions

How can I convert a continuous waveform to a discrete waveform in Labview?

Please see the attached picture for reference, since I am not sure if I expressed myself correctly in English. My current waveform looks like the gray waveform, and I would like to convert it to the red waveform. Can anyone tell me how to do this in Labview? Thank you for your help!

Hi Laura,
next time you should attach real pictures like PNG...
You could use a combination of Quotient&Remainder with Multiply to get your desired "discrete" waveform!
Dividing and multiplying will reduce the data to the nearest multiple of 5, but the red line shows that the data is not discretised in the y domain but instead in the x domain, ie the time domain has been chopped.
To achieve this it seems you need to be selecting every nth data point, which is similar to downsampling your data. You can achieve this with the Align & Resample Express VI

How can I convert a Waveform to a String-Format?

Hello,
I write with "SQL-Execute.vi" datas to an Access-file. The "SQL-Execute.vi" needs a statement in String Format. And that is my problem. My source-datas (that I want to save to Access) are Waveforms. How can I convert the Waveform datas to a String Format?
Thanks for help!

Wire the waveform to the Get waveform componants function...from that you get t0, delta t and the sample values. Now you can generate whatever string you want based on that information...
You could e.g. wire the Y array to a for-loop in which you calculate the time of each sample by taking t0 and adding delta t multiplied with the array index, then you could convert the Y value and the time to strings using the seconds to time string and number to fractional string functions...etc etc...

How can I convert output data (string?) from GPIB-read to an 1D array?

Hello all,
I am reading a displayed waveform from my Tektronix Oscilloscope (TDS3032) via the GPIB Read VI. The format of the waveform data is: positive integer data-point representation with the most significant byte transferred first (2 bytes per data point).
The output data of GPIB-Read looks like a string(?) where the integer numbers and a sign like the euro-currency sign are seperated by spaces e.g. #5200004C3 4 4 4 4 3C3C3........ (C represents the euro-currency sign).
How can I convert this waveform data into a 1D/2D array of real double floatingpoint numbers (DBL) so I can handle the waveform data for data-analysis?
It would be very nice if someone know the solution for this.

Hi,
First of all, I'm assuming you are using LabVIEW.
The first you need to do is parse the string returned by the instrument. In this case you need to search for the known symbols in the string (like the euro sign) and chop the string to get the numeric strings. Here are some examples on parsing from www.ni.com:
Keyword Search: parsing
Once you parse the numeric strings you can use the "String/number conversion VIs" in the String pallette.
Hope this helps.

How can I convert on HDF file from HWS file?

how can I convert on HDF file from HWS file?

Well by opening up the HWS file with HDFView, it contains the below structure. In the axis0 properties (time axis) there is a field called increment that is the sampling rate I used (5 nanoseconds). But I do NOT see any additional info in terms of triggering modes or delays, etc.
wfm_group0
axes
axis0
axis1
data_vector
data (here is our data, I verified it is correct)
id
traces
trace0 (we don't care about this, I think)
vectors
vector0
data (not sure what the difference is between this and axis1
wfm_group0 (1576, 2)
    Group size = 4
    Number of attributes = 5
        major_version = 2
        minor_version = 0
        release_version = 6
        type = NI-Waveform
        writer = NI-HWS
axis0 (7424, 2)
    Group size = 0
    Number of attributes = 5
        implicit? = 1

How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

Thanks for you reply, however, I am still stuck.
I am trying to convert my application (which runs smoothly) to a signed applet. The following is the original (application) code:
private void loadConfig() {
String fileName = "resources/groupconfig";
File name = new File(fileName);
if(name.isFile()) {
try {
     ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileName));
     pAndGConfig = (PAGroupsConfig)in.readObject();
     in.close();
     return;
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
     System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
} catch(IOException e) {
     System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
System.out.println("Can't find file: " + fileName);
Because all code and resources now reside in a Jar file (for the signed applet), I must use the following line to access the resources:
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(fileName);
I then need to convert the 'InputStream' to 'ObjectInputStream' or 'FileInputStream' so that I can work with it.
I would be very grateful if you could help shed some light on the matter - Cobram

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

It's almost impossible. The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that. Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15. In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum. I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

How can I convert an array off byte ( byte[] ) into an Object using MIDP 2.0 / CLDC 1.1 ?

How can I do this ?
Waiting answers
Rodrigo Kerkhoff

There are no ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream classes in CLDC. You must know what you are writing to and reading from the DataStream. You should write the primitives like int, String to the DataOutputstream at one end and read those in exactly the same sequence at the outher end using readInt(), readUTF() methods.
