How to convert labview string to C-style string?

I have a labview string that is 100 characters longs. It stores a C-style, Null-terminated string, and it is only 10 characters long.  So, is there any way that I can convienently get the shorter Null-terminated string out from the long labview string, other than programatically search for the NULL character in the labview string and get the sub string?

Well, IF you know the position of the null char, you can use String Subset, but with a string with a maximum length of 100 bytes you won't be saving any real performance and you can perform the same thing by wiring the index into the Offset input of S/SS. What's the problem with searching for the null char?

  • How to convert Labview file 10.0 to 7.1

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to convert my 10.0 vi file to a 7.1 vi file. Thank you very much.
    By the way, it's from a student version if that matters at all.
    -Brian

    You would need to have version 8 of LabVIEW along with version 2010 or 2011.  Open the 10.0 file in LV10 or later, saveas LV version 8.
    Open the LV8 version in LV8 and the save for previous version as 7.1
    If you don't have those versions, then that is what this message board is for.  Read Conversion Board Rules! and attach your VI to your message.

  • How to convert LabVIEW 2.2 for Mac to PC

    Need to convert labview software from MAC to PC.
    Moved files from mac to pc. No files with .vi extension. several resource.frk files in sub directories. Is there any instructions for conversion or is this not possible?

    I've heard of people doing this before. It's been a couple of years but the process involved going from LV 2 to 3 on the MAC. Then from 3 MAC to 3 LV. Then use the LabVIEW converion kit. You may be able to bypass the 2 to 3 on MAC step.
    From my understanding you can open LV 4 and onwards VIs with LV 6. Here's a Knowledgebase entry you might find useful:

  • How to convert labview data into opc tag

    Hi all,
    Can any one please tell me how i can convert the labview data global into a OPC tag? I have some data globals reading and writing data to the globals. Now i wanted to use a PLC device to send its outputs to the field.
    The PLC device will supports the OPC tags so i wanted t create OPC recognised tags in my labview. Is it possible. I saw that labview also having OPC functinalities. Please any one guide me in doing this.
    I will be very thankful to them
    Ramme..

    As I said, I believe you can do this for globals as well by opening its front panel (double click the global) and using a DS connection for the control that represents that specific global.
    As for other alternatives:
    NI sells the DSC module which comes with an OPC server and with better tags.
    You can use a common protocol like Modbus to interact with the PLC.
    You can use the custom protocol used by the PLC.
    The last two would require that you would change your program structure, so you would only want to use them under certain conditions.
    I believe the practical limit for OPC tags with DS is a few hundred tags, but I never used it myself so I didn't run into it. You can try searching the forums to find out more.

  • How to convert an array of Integers into String

    So how can an array of integers be converted into a string?
    As I do not have a javac with me now, I hope you guys could help.
    Can it be done this way:
    int [] value = new int[] {2,3,4,5,6,7}
    String strValue = "";
    for (i=0; i<value.length-1; i++)
    strValue += value;

    Instead of working with Strings, I would suggest you use a StringBuffer. It will improve memory utilization.
    Like this:
    int [] values = new int[] {2,3,4,5,6,7};
    StringBuffer sbTmp = new StringBuffer();
    final int size = values.length;
    for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    String intStr = Integer.toString(values);
    sbTmp.append(intStr);
    String strValues = sbTmp.toString();

  • How to convert Labview 9.0 vi files to 7.1 vi files?

    Hi, I have a set of LabView 9.0 .vi files that I need to convert to 7.1 .vi files, but the current LabView 9.0 version only allows me to save it to 8.0 version. Thus, my questions are:
    1) Can a user with LabView 7.1 open 8.0 files?
    2) If not, is there any other way to convert 9.0 files straight to 7.1 files?
    Many thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It requires two steps.
    You need to open the VI's in LV 2009 and do a Save for Previous version back to LV 8.0
    Then open that in LV 8.0 and do a Save for Previous back to LV 7.1. 
    If you don't have LV 8.0, then you can post the files to the downconvert thread and request there that they be converted to LV 7.1

  • How to convert Labview log file to text file?

    I want to open the log file in Excel or other text editor. Is there any special format of Labview log file? I thought it just binary, so I used a general program to convert binary file to Ascii file. But it failed because of the format of the log file format. Is there any other way that I can read log file in Excel? Thanks a lot.

    Dennis Knutson wrote:
    Are you refering to the front panel logging option? The actual binary format is going to depend on what controls and indicators you have on the front panel and their data types. There is an example of using the file i/o functions to read one of these files in chapter 14 of the user manual. The problem you'll have if you write a program to read a log file is that every time you add or delete a control/indicator, you'll have to rewrite your program and then you'll be unable to read older log files. You'd be better off writing your own log routines. Then you would control the binary format. There are shipping examples that you can look at for fbinary file storage.
    Yes, I am referring the front panel logging option and I will read the maual first. Thank you very much for your help.

  • How to convert Labview document into PDF format

    Hi! can any one tell me, can we convert the Labview document (Labview saved files)into PDF format. I wanted to convert it using a VI. If any one suggest me or send me the example vi i will be very thankful.
    Regards
    Ramesh.C

    Hi,
    We have a brand new PDF library for LabVIEW. Release date is in october. The library can create pdfs, with all kinds of text writing and picture stuff. It works stand alone, so there is no need for other programs. It should also be platform independend.
    If your interested, drop me a mail. I can send you mail when it's released. Maybe we can give you a "beta test", if you send use your findings.

  • How to convert a VISA Resource Name to String?

    I would like to convert a VISA Resource Name (invalid reference) to string so I can open a session to a GPIB instrument.

    You can typcast the VISA Resource Name, but I usually just treat it like a string. You can connect it directly to string indicators or to any VI that takes a string input. You can even search, concatenate and split it like a string. You can also feed strings into the VISA Resource Name inputs of the VISA functions.

  • How to convert digital signal to hexadecima​l string?

    Hi!
    My problem seemed to be very easy but I cannot find a simple solution. Namely, I have to make a simple project that acquires bits from a single digital line (not that it is important but I use one channel of a PXI 6552) and stores a certain number of bits (let’s say 1000 bits) from the channel in a txt file in hexadecimal format. I can convert it to a binary array of unsigned integers and make a loop that reads every 4 bits and calculate hexadecimal value but is it possible that there is no simpler way?!
    Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for your prompt reply! I understand that hexadecimal is just a format of presenting data but I have a problem to write digital data in that format to a txt file.  
    To make it easier for understanding and for testing purposes as well, I have made a test program that reads hexadecimal values from a txt file (the structure of this file is the structure I need to get at the end), transforms it in a digital stream as I get from the pxi 6552 (I had to change a bit the VI DTbl Binary U8 to Digital Stream.vi), and write it back to a txt file. This test program still needs some fixing to make input and output file exactly the same, but for the start output file is a txt file with hexadecimal values of my digital stream. I was wondering if there is a simpler solution for the while loop in this example.
    I hope this example made it clearer a bit.

  • How to convert hex into a string value

    hei evryone!

    Any suggestion, tutorial site would be appreciated?
    Thx!

    something like this will convert string to byte[]
    e.g.
    you want to convert following.
    656667 => ABC
    String toConvert = "656667";
    byte[] returnVal = String2byteArr (toConvert );
    String FinalStr = new String(returnVal);
    public static byte[] String2byteArr(String Result)
    byte[] byteRet = new byte[Result.length()/2];
    int k=0;
    for (int j=0; j<(Result.length()); j+=2)
    try
    Integer I = new Integer (0);
    I = I.decode ("0x"+Result.substring(j, j+2));
    int i = I.intValue ();
    if (i > 127)
    i = i - 256;
    byteRet[k++] = new Integer(i).byteValue();
    catch(Exception e)
    System.err.println(e);
    return byteRet;
    }// String2byteArr
    Hope this will help you, So that i can get 3$ (:-)
