How to define "byte stream type" for "open file"?

Hello,
I created some numbers (type "double") in Matlab and stored in a file. What value should I use to specify the "byte stream type" for "open file" in Labview? Should I put something like "DBL" or "I32". I don't know where to find the list of legal "types" in Labiew help.
Thanks so much!
Felicia

Looks like 7.1:
The Matlab "double" is 64 bits (8 bytes). It doesn't make much sense to use an integer datatype to read a floating point value, so you would use DBL in LabVIEW. The numeric data types table can be found here.
By the way, this assumes you saved the file as raw binary, as opposed to a .mat file, which is something different.

  • Specifying byte stream type for Read File with Type Descriptor

    Hi.
    I'm trying to write a VI that reads an image file format that can have
    different datatypes. What I have so far is that I open the file, read
    the header, and get the width, height, number of frames, and datatype.
    I calculate number of pixels by nrows*ncols*nframes with no problem,
    but I'm not sure how to tell Read File the correct datatype to read
    the data into.
    I tried using a Case structure where I have a Read File in each case
    with the correct type constant as input for that case. The problem is
    that the tunnel graduates the datatype to the highest representation.
    I found in Application Note 154 the discussion about Type Descriptors.
    Is there a way to generate a Type Descriptor and output it from a C
    ase
    structure? I tried just returning the value (e.g. 0x0402 for a Word),
    but Read File will just see that the byte stream type is a uint32.
    Is there any other way to do this?
    Thanks for any help.

    I converted the code to LabVIEW 6.1 for you and attached it below.
    Don't worry about being a newbie. We all start there. Keep asking this type of question and you won't stay there long.
    As you are discovering, being strictly typed means that you must rewrite code even for a simple data type change, or convert everything to the same data type first. For image data, conversion can result in a lot of extra space being wasted. Use a modified version of the GLV_WaveformBuffer.vi to hold your data. Use the array functions, which operate inline, to add to and delete the data wires in the buffer. This allows you to save several different data types. You will need several different inputs and outputs to handle these data types. I ha
    ve also attached a similar file created for exactly the problem you have - storing arrays of different data types (data from NI-SCOPE devices, in this case - can be float, I8, I16, or I32).
    Routines that take any type work in one of two ways. LabVIEW primitives, such as plus and minus operators, work by figuring out the type and doing the right thing in the C code layer of the LabVIEW environment. Users of LabVIEW can't do this. Users can make polymorphic VIs. Polymorphic VIs are actually a single VI for every data type that are referenced by a "wrapper", the polymorphic VI. Users still need to write a different VI for every data type they need.
    Take home message - if you need to work with different data types, you will need to rewrite your code for every data type or convert your data to a common data type. Polymorphic VIs and case statements are your friend.
    Let me know if you need more help.

  • How to define reporting time types for 0HR_PT_2 to populate records in rsa3

    hi experts,
    we are implementing Time and Labour and we are using info provider called 0PT_C01.
    for that we have 2 data sources one is 0HR_PT_1 and 0HR_PT_2.
    when i check in RSA3 there are records for 0HR_PT_1 Data source, but for 0HR_PT_2 data source it shows 0 records though the related info types have data.
    i have checked in sdn for the solution, most of the replies are related to maintain Reporting Time Types.
    can you please provide me step by step solution to maintain Reporting Time Types in ECC.
    Regards

  • The byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported

    What is going on?  The wave files are in a different folder but shouldn't the program ask me where to find them?

    I think the link got munged!

    I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the default for opening a project?

    For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
    For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
    on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
    To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
    Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.

    I believe there is a PDF doc which comes with the component (it should be at your harddrive when you install it), which describes everything you will need.
    In a nutshell, there are two types of relationship: sibling - sibling, parent - child (there are some more nuances, but it follows the same logic).
    A relationship is created between two existing items (not sure, if you can also create a relationship for a new checked in item, but it would be just a usability). You select the type of relationship and the item - I believe depending on the relationship you may start from either item. The dialog to start is INFO (display metadata) or UPDATE (update metadata).
    When a relationship is created you may watch it also from either end (again INFO is the starting point).
    It is quite self-explanatory, so if you have the component installed you may just play around with it for a while and that is it.

    I have seen some posts floating about here complaining that photos don't or at least don't immediately sync to all devices. I think a small number of these people may not realise that syncing requires wifi and not 3G, one must also remember this community is like a doctors surgery, it is where people come if they have aches and pains.
