How to edit a vi file without labview

i work for the state of ri, and i have to edit a vi which was created about 4 years ago. we do not have labview here and wanted to know if it is possible to edit this. it is an exe file. i only need to make a minor change to it. please advise, very unfamiliar with labview, i cannot purchase labview, just wondering if there is anyway to edit this file

jba,
If this is a simple change, and IF you have the source code, I may consider doing it for you at no charge.
Email me with a description of the change, and we can talk about it. If you don't have the source code, there is nothing anyone can do, you will have to find the company or individual that created it so see if they have the source.
In general, there is nothing you can do to edit an executable (unless you know machine code, and how to correct the checksum) without the source code. Even then, you will have to have LabVIEW. It would also be good to know what version of LabVIEW it was done in, as some versions are harder to convert than others.
Good luck

How to open a .MAT file in LABVIEW

Hey everyone,
I currently have a .MAT image file which I would like to open in LABVIEW to apply some image filters. However, I am unsure as to how to open the .MAT file in LABVIEW. Ideally I would like to be able to open the .MAT file without using matlab, and it seems the only way to accomplish this task is through the mathscript node. I have attached an example of the image im trying to open, as well as the LABVIEW program which I would like to use on the image. Thanks for the feedback! =]

Hi Boiler,
1) Do you have a choice in the format you export your data from MATLAB?
"ASCII Format
Complete the following steps if you want to import or export data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB® environment, the process is straightforward as long as you are using ASCII format.
From the MATLAB® environment to LabVIEW
To save a vector or a matrix Xin ASCII format with tab delimiter, enter the following in the command window or m-script file in the MATLAB® environment:
>>SAVE filename X -ascii -double -tabs
This creates a file whose name is filename, and it contains the data X in ASCII format with a tab delimiter.
Import the file into LabVIEW using the Read From Spreadsheet File VI located on the Programming»File I/O palette.
2) Have you tried using the mathscript node? Did you get any errors?
"Binary Format
Complete the following steps if you want to import or export data between LabVIEW and MATLAB®.
From the MATLAB® environment to LabVIEW
To read a .mat file in LabVIEW would require a VI to parse the file. This may be easier if each variable is saved to a separate file.
" -- this was done here, no ideas if it still works,

Hope this helps, James

How to open an external file in Labview?

Hi, Who knows how to open an external file in LabView? I want to open an .UDL file(data link API) which is a dialog window letting me input correlated database information, but I dont know how to open this type of file in my LabView Program.
Thanks.
Red

A UDL is technically a text file, so you could open it with "Read Characters from file", put the result string into a string control, edit it and save it back using the "Write Characters to File".
UDLs however have their own configuration dialog embedded in the Windows OS. You can use this dialog in your LabVIEW application. The attached VI shows how to create a new UDL. You can edit an existing UDL by switching the method node to PromptEdit and wiring in an open ADO connection reference.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

How to restore a control file without having its backup

Hi,
Can any one please suggest me how to restore a control file without having its backup.
Thanks

To add to what SB said, in years past the instructions for re-creating the control file manually were contained in the DBA Administration manual. It used to be and may still be common to be taking and saving a "backup control file to trace" for this purpose.
If you lost only the primary copy of the control file and it is an OS file then while the database is shutdown you can copy the secondary over the primary and then use if to start the database. If the control file is stored in ASM then there should be a way to perform the copy via ASM.
If you use rman for backups then a copy of the control file should be part of the backup process and you can retrieve it from the backup set then perform recovery using the backup control file though I do note the OP said something to the effect no backup exists. Still, I have knows of instances where the DBA did not realize that the backup set contained the control file and the spfile so I think this is worth mentioning just in case.

How to print a pdf file from Labview

Hi,
Does anyone know how to print a pdf file form Labview. I need to be able to point on the pdf file and to print it.
Activex examples doesnt seem to be working it always displays an error, on every PC that I tryed to run it.
{"code 3005" ,,,"Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Display PDF in Dialog.vi"}.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Jenia.

You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
"<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
For example"
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"

How to edit move rename files in iTunes

how to edit move rename files in itunes

I don't like iTunes.
I don't want iTunes to keep the physical location of my files because they can be on a SD card, or an USB drive and i don't want iTunes to stop me from playing a song because it cannot find it anymore.
So i would like to use physical files just to upload to iTunes Match and then delete the link to the physical file.
If needed, iTunes Match will download the file.
The problem is just that i would like to delete all references to physical files to make iTunes Match download the file only when needed and stop using the first version i had given to it
maybe i could have a Apple Script to check if there is a physical file referenced and if so delete it to have only the Cloud version

Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

Then you posted in the wrong forum...
At any rate, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool (under Tools - Content Editing) to make changes to the file. You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want to change if you want more detailed instructions.

How to compress a pdf file without quality loss

How to compress a pdf file without quality loss? Please help....

With the way you worded the question, your only option is to zip (or equivalent) the PDF. There are options in terms of graphic compression (this is generally a loss of quality in reducing the pixels) and nonstorage of fonts (likely making the file unreadable to some). So there are techniques, but with a tradeoff. It all depends on what you mean by loss of quality.
The other techniques that do not lose quality, but give up on some functionality are to remove links, bookmarks, and tags. The tags are often necessary only for converting a PDF back to another form and maintaining accessibility - important in some business situations. These are all tradeoffs that give something up.

No. The attached is the simplest way of modifying it to do as you want. I've
sped things up a little to make it obvious.

You already are. You're making the arrays as you go along so only the memory
needed for the data that's in the plot is in use at any one time. To do it
without storing
arrays at all you'd need to keep retrieving the data from
the XYgraph, adding the new datapoint and writing it back. Messy and I
suspect incredibly inefficient.
You're going to use the memory in any case- a better option would be to
pre-initialise an array and fill it slowly. At the end of each 24 hour block
zap all the data and start again without destroying and recreating the
arrays. Or if you're only doing the 24 hour wipes to save memory, simply
start again at the start of the buffer woithout erasing the previous data
and you always have 24 hours of data to liik at once the system's running.
Do a search for keywords like "pre initialise" or "circular buffer" on
ni.com

How to Edit a flash file

Hi all,
I have a flash file, which I took from my website and want to
modify some of the contents and links in the flash file. I
installed "Macromedia Flash 8" and open the flash file; after
opening all I can see in the menu bar of my flash is "File, View,
Debug and Control" and could not find any control or tool to edit
the file and surprisingly rest of the other macromedia toolbar
icons are disabled. I need to know from where to start - How to
modify my flash file.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

My Friend
I think you need to check out some of the books, online
tutorials, course etc pertaining to Flash. Build up your knowledge
a little at a time and you will surprise yourself at what you can
achieve, you would also probaby build your own web apps and not
rely on templates.
