How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?

How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?
I just  received this comment from a friend, a RADAR engineer, who has just down loaded Multisim.  He has been using HP/Agilent software.  He has a work around using a piecewise linear voltage waveform with data imported from Excel but this is not really a good solution.  It would also be helpful to import data from Mathcad or equivalent.
"I thought I was about to be impressed with MultiSim but it ended only in disappointment. There is a word generator in the simulation instrument panel which can drive the DAC with a waveform and it can have thousands of lines of values. I opened Excel, wrote the formula to generate the time and voltage points for a chirp, converted to DAC values in Hex and then went back to the word generator in MultiSim to load the values only to find that you have to enter each value manually. It doesn’t even allow you to paste in a list of values from a text file. I’m not going to type 5000 values by hand. If you get the chance to give feedback to National Instruments please ask them if the paste option can be added to the word generator. MultiSim is useful in many regards, but in this case, it left me with the impression that it is considerably limited in capability compared to what I’m used to."

Hi,
You can load your data automatically in the Multisim word generator. Follow these steps:
- Save your data file (in excel .xslx ir .csv format) on your computer
- Change the extension of the file to ".dp"
- Double-click the word generator in Multisim and click on Set...
- In the Settings dialog box, click on Load and then Accept
- This will prompt you to select the .dp file you have on your computer, select it and you're good to go
However, in Multisim you have the option of creating your own custom simulation analysis and instrument.
I will try creating the instrument and send it back to you but it might take some time.
Multisim and LabVIEW are very powerful in test automation, with the custom instruments you create for Multisim you don't need to export your data file into excel from LabVIEW (or MathCAD or other tools) and then reload it into Multisim. The test procedure is automated instead.
Please check this reference design about automated simulation
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7825
Here is how you can create your own custom measurement tool in Multisim and LabVIEW, but as I mentioned, I will create the word generator and come back to you anyways

  • How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

    Hi,
    I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
    Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
    Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
    I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
    Please let me know how can I do this.
    Thanks,
    Shilpi

    Why you want to export into .csv file.Why not export/import? What is your oracle version?

    Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
    It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
    There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

  • How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?

    How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
    I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
    Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
    Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
    Thanks

    Here is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor.  If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks.  And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
    Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
    Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window.  Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify.  Click Run in the Applescript Editor.  Follow the instructions.
    (* Put This In That
    v2.0 april 22 2008
    - runs as universal binary
    - adds "Show" tag
    - consolidated code
    - saved as script bundle
    v1.7 October 3, 2006
    - adds "Album Artist" as option
    v1.6 October 28, 2004
    - works around iTunes 4.7 selection bug
    v1.5 ('04/1)-- adds "grouping" tag

  • How can I import data using .dmp into the table which has more columns then in import

    I am building the history for warehouse purpose on Oracle 8i database and want to use the old import (.dmp) files (from oracle 7.3.4) to import data but the underlying table is having few more columns which are not in my old DMP file .. how can I import the data into these altered tables while using the same *.imp files .
    Any solutions ?

    That is the most obvious solution .. but think of the case when my operational database which is the source of my data is undergoing changes every quarter i.e after every 3 months there are some changes on underlying table structures which means structures of my import files will always be different after evry quarter .. you can imagine the number of temporary import structures I need to create .. can't there be a solution wherein I can write an SQL over the import file to read the data in required format ..

  • How can i import data to ipad from pc ?

    how can i ımport data to ipad from pc ?

    It would help if you said what sort of data you want to transfer - documents, spreadsheets, powerpoint, etc .
    In order to transfer files to the iPad you will first need one or more apps on the iPad that supports those file types - without an app the files cannot be saved (apart from as email attachments), as unlike 'normal' computers the iPad doesn't have a file system and files/documents have to be stored/associated with an app. Once you've got an app then, depending on what it is, transfer might be done via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email attachments, Dropbox etc.
    If you want to transfer/support Word and Excel documents then Documents To Go is one option (http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8) and how to transfer to/from it is described on this pagehttp://support.dataviz.com/support.srch?docid=14497&pid=198 (the 'premium' version of the app also supports editing Powerpoint files instead of just viewing them)

  • How can I import data in an interactive PDF?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to import data (in this case, price lists created in Excel) in a PDF that needs be interactive; The goal is to actually make up a document (in InDesign) using form fields, and then have that data imported in the form fields, but the generated PDF has to be interactive. What I'm trying to achieve is that my sales people have a pdf, where they can generate a price estimate based on the number of products they wanna order. Is this achievable at all?

    Yes, very much so. The form fields can be added in InDesign or in Acrobat
    (I prefer the latter), and the data can be imported in Acrobat as well. The
    Excel file needs to have the following structure for it to work: Fields
    names in the first row and their data in the second. Then you save it as a
    tab-delimited text file and import it in Acrobat via Tools - Forms - More
    Form Options - Import Data.

  • How can i measure a voltage with the digital i/o port on my nudrive using labview?

    I am using a 4SX-411 nu drive to control my stepper motor. I need to measure an input voltage at the digital I/O port of the nudrive. How can I program LabVIEW to do that?
    Thanks

    Hello Raven24,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments. NUDrive 4SX-411 is a value motion drive and you can connect to it using any of the ValueMotion boards. When using a ValueMotion NUDrive with steppers you have I/O ports 1-4 available for general purpose use, I/O ports 5-8 are reserved for axis inhibit output signals. Refer to section 4-7 of the ValueMotion Hardware User Manual linked below, for information about the jumper settings.
    ValueMotion Hardware User Manual:
    http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/6CF7A54E0BDEA1388625665F0054FFDF?OpenDocument&node=132090_US
    Once you have setup the jumpers appropriately, you can use the VIs found on the ValueMotion I/O & Limits pallet for configuring and using the I/O channels. Search for "I/O" in the attached help file for more information about these VIs. I hope this helps you out. Have a great day!

  • How can I import Chat history into the Messages.app?

    Okay so this is what I've done so far: I've freshly reinstalled Mac OS X 10.8.1 on my Mac and I've already copied the Messages Folder located in User/Library/Application Support, to the new one.
    The idea is to access all this history data in the Messages.app, but so far I haven't been lucky.
    When I'm chatting with people, the recent activity will be shown in the left column of the app but nothing from the past shows up, yet.
    Is there some way to import all the chats into Messages, so that I can see them all in a nice way instead of quick-looking them in the Finder?

    Hi,
    The "sync" between and iPhone (or other iOS device) and a Mac only works from the time both devices have the same details.
    Effectively this is the time that the iPhone has the Apple ID added to it's settings and the pop ups that appear on the Mac about the iPhone's details are accepted.
    The Sync  is then "Display on all devices" only.
    There is no catch up on existing threads on either device on the other.
    If you delete an iMessages or a conversation on one device the other is unaffected.

  • How can I import data from history including time of visit to site?

    When I open my "History" tab I can then select from the left hand column, for example "last seven days" and then select "copy" from the "Organize" tab. But when I paste into an Excel worksheet, the only information that shows up is the website. Is there a way to also import the "visit date" column?

    You would have to use an extension like SQLite Manager to export the history as CSV.
    *[[/questions/835204]]
    You can add other columns when needed.

  • How can we import Fixed asset of the current year ?

    Hi ,
    in 1272578 note , SAP Support explain that's it's not possible to create fixed asset of the current year( example = acquisition date = 2009-02-01 )  using import , but they gave no workaround .
    does it mean that we have to manually create all assets of the current year ? or there is another way ( using DI-API for example ) ?
    Thanks

    Good day
    The fixed asset master data import functionality in SAP Business One is used to import assets of the previous year. If you are to force the importation of current year assets some of them might load but system will not be able to calculate planned depreciation for that year, which will give u problems when u try to run depreciation forcing u to post manual depreciation.
    With manual depreciation will not look good on the Fixed Asset Master since it sort of duplicate depreciation ONLY on the Master your report will be fine.
    Capturing Current year assets manually will be the safer road.
    Thanks

  • How can I import NT ACL into the SYS.USER$ table ?

    Hi guys,
    the version of Oracle i'm using is a 8.0.5.
    I'd like to grant access to my database through the Access Control List of my PDC. Is there a way to import this list to do so ?
    for the moment I have to create Users in Oracle and define their identification externally.
    Help !

    Update... For anyone looking for a similar solution:
    I ended up adding more to my logon script I have it check for a user's mozilla profile first and if not found it will use command line "firefox.exe -createprofile default" to make one. After that I just copy a working cert8.db to that new profile. Then when the user opens firefox for first time, it will detect this new profile, and it will load it along with the correct CA Certs intact...
    Also, for existing profiles my script just uses nss certutil to add my proxy CA Certificate to the users profile cert8db.

  • How can I import from Sony Hi-8 digital?

    I want to import footage made on a Sony DCR-TRV103, but being as it's a 10+ yr old camcorder, it seems to be out of reach.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    I should have clarified my situation: I HAVE one of these cameras.  The "out of reach" part refers to it not being on the list of video tape camcorders that FCP X is compatible with, which appears to be borne out by the app not seeing the FireWire-connected device when I try to import from my tapes.
    Maybe there's an issue with the camcorder's FireWire, or another deficiency, I can't tell. But I can try to use an older setup, with FCP 5, which used to work. 
    Thanks for the thought, at any rate, and for any further ideas.
