How to get data from serial port to GUI textArea
From Serial Port.....
Messages from base (always 5 bytes):
0xAA, 0, 0, 0, 0xBB - IDLE Mode
0xAA, 0, 0x80, 0x80, 0xBB - Question Mode
messages from terminal (always 6 bytes):
0xAA, a, b, c, chksum, 0xBB
where chksum = a+b+c;
a = address (0-250)
the 2 MSB's of b represenet the answer:
0 0 - A
0 1 - B
1 0 - C
1 1 - D
the 6LSB's of b and 8bits of c is the time for answer, in milliseconds.
(0-16384 milliseconds)
I have VB Code for that but I want the same thing in Java ...
Can any one help me?

How to save a datas from serial port?
Hi
I need some help about rs-232 communication. I want to make a vi witch can do this things:
-read a txt file (to simulate a serial port like when the datas are coming)
i will get 3 different data in serial port (like this: 121 213 135)
i want to save in a txt file what datas get my vi
so
-write in a txt file or draw in a diagram (or both)
so my problem is: read in serial port and save in a file and draw a diagram.
if anybody can help pls HELP ME because im a beginner in this problem.
I already do something but Im not sure that good.
Thx for all. -
Problem while reading data from Serial Port
Hi All,
I am facing some problem while reading data from Serial Port.
As per the requirement I am writing the data on Serial Port and waiting for response of that data.
Notification for data availabilty is checked with method public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) of javax.comm.SerialPortEventListener.
When we are writing data on the port one thread i.e. "main" thread is generated and when data availability event occures another thread "Win32SerialPort Notification thread" is generated. This creates problem for me as we can't control thread processing.
So can anybody pls explain me how to overcome this problem?
Regards,
NehaMy Problem is:-
I am simoultaneouly wrting data on port & reading data from port.
First I write data on port using outputStream.write() method. Now when target side sends me response back for the request on serial port DATA_AVAILABLE of SerialPortEventListner event occured,we are reading data from serial port.Now till the time we didn't get the response from target next command can't be written on the serial port. When we are writing data on port main thread is executed.Now my problem starts when DATA_AVAILABLE event occured.At this point another thread is created.Due to this my program writes data of next command without reading response of previous command.To solve this prob. I have used wait() & notify() methods as follows.But again due to this my pc hangs after execution of 2 commands. (PC hang in while loop in a code provided below.)
From SOPs I could figure it out that after 2 commands we are not able to write data on serial port so DATA_AVAILABLE event doesn't occure n pro. goes in wait state.
Can anybody help me to solve this issue.
Neha.
Code:
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event)
switch (event.getEventType())
case SerialPortEvent.BI:
case SerialPortEvent.OE:
case SerialPortEvent.FE:
case SerialPortEvent.PE:
case SerialPortEvent.CD:
case SerialPortEvent.CTS:
case SerialPortEvent.DSR:
case SerialPortEvent.RI:
case SerialPortEvent.OUTPUT_BUFFER_EMPTY:
break;
case SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE:
try
dataThread = Thread.currentThread();
dataThread.setPriority(10);
dataAvailable = true;
byte[] tempArray=new byte[availableBytes];
inputStream.read(tempArray);
catch (IOException io)
SOP(io, "Error in serialEvent callback call for event DATA_AVAILABLE");
public void writetoPort(byte[] data) throws IOException
outputStream.write(data);
while(finalTimeOut >= actualTime)
if( ! dataAvailable)
actualTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
else
synchronized (mainThread)
mainThread = Thread.currentThread();
mainThread.wait();
public void sendDatatoUser(byte[] b) throws Exception, HWCCSystemFailure
obj.returnData(b);
synchronized(mainThread)

JMF getting data from tcp port
Hi there is any way that i can get data from tcp port uisng datasourece
mean i create a server port which accept the connection after established the connection then the client send audio data to the server, the server only will get that data in a buffer and using jmf datasource i should read that data and might send it to another machine using avtransmitter but i dont know how to wrape that data in rtp
private void Streamforward()
ServerSocket echoServer = null;
byte[] buffer=new byte[8192];
DataInputStream is;
PrintStream os;
Socket clientSocket = null;
// Try to open a server socket on port 4444
// Note that we can't choose a port less than 1023 if we are not
// privileged users (root)
try {
echoServer = new ServerSocket(4444);
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
// Create a socket object from the ServerSocket to listen and accept
// connections.
// Open input and output streams
try {
clientSocket = echoServer.accept();
Convert con=new Convert();
is = new DataInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
os = new PrintStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
int start=0;
while (true)
int length=clientSocket.getReceiveBufferSize();
System.out.println(length);
//line=in.readLine();
is.read(buffer,0,length);
//here we should put that data into datasourece
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
it would be too help full i have to submitt my project soon and i dont know what to do:( with this data ....i am integratting skype with jmfI've been looking around for the same solution for my client (who using Mettler Toledo's (MT) products). Anyone did this please kindly share your experience, thanks.
My initial approach was to write a Java middle-ware to read from the real-time system and upload into JDE from there.
I wonder if MT stored the weighing data somewhere in some database ...
Any other hardware vendor out there to make our life easier?
Additional:
Just got a way that might work, use Java or JNI to read from Serial port (RS-232) or USB, then proceed from there (provided your hardware with that communication protocol).

Unable to capture data from Serial port using LVRT2010 in single core pentium 4 machine
I am using application written in Labview using windows Labview
Runtime environment 2010. Application creates a tunnel to intercept data from
Serial port.
My problem is, Currently, I am using single core Pentium
processor. When I am trying to intercept the data between COM1 and COM7 (COM 7
is a virtual port) it is not able to capture data.
When I am running Labview RT environment using dual core
processor machine it is running normally. I wonder whether it could be the compatibility issues with
single core Pentium processor.Hi Magnetica
Are both of the machines running the same runtime engine,
drivers ect?
Have you had RT applications running on this
machine before?
Is the development computer a 64bit machine?
The processor is a supported model (See link below).

i have three tables A,B,C. there is one to many relation between A and B. and one to many relation existed between table b and c . how will get data from these three tables
check if this helps:
select * --you can always frame your column set
from tableA a
left join tableB b on a.aid=b.aid
left join tableC c on c.bid=b.bid
This is just a general query. However, we can help you a lot more, if you can post the DDL + sample data and required output.

I already stablish communication with my serial port using VISA, selecting COM1 as the resoure name.
After that, I tried to read the data from the port (as we know the data was in string format )but I need to convert the data to numeric value to hadle it (no arrays).
Another main thing is that I'm develoing a new based Embedded design and tthe info that will trhow out from the device to the PC is binary.
How can I solved the problem, and if I want to make bidirectional communication with my system how can I do it? The VISA intructions as *IDN? and so forthetc can be recognize by the external system if the COM1 port is recognized by NI Max as ADSRL1::I
NSTR1?Hello,
For an example of bidirectional serial communication in LabVIEW, please see the shipping example LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi. This can be found from LabVIEW by going to Help >> Find Examples. From the example finder, select Hardware Input and Output >> Serial >> LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi.
Once you are able to read the string data in, you can use the VIs in the String/Number Conversion palette to convert the data to numeric format. To access these, right-click on the block diagram >> All Functions >> String >> String/Number Conversion.
Let me know if this does not help.

Problem in reading data from serial port continuously- application hangs after sometimes
I need to read data from two COM port and order of data appearance from COM port is not fixed.
I have used small timeout and reading data in while loop continously . If my application is steady for sometime it gets hangs and afterwards it doesnt receive any data again.
Then I need to restart my application again to make it work.
I am attaching VI. Let me know any issue.
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

What do you mean, "not fixed?" If there is no termination character, no start/stop character(s) or even a consistent data length, then how can you really be sure when the data starts and stops?
I probably misunderstood you though. Assuming the last case is not ture - there is a certain length to the data - then you should use the bytes at port, like in the otherwise disastrous serial port read example. In this case, it's NOT disastrous. You have to make sure that you read all the data that came through. Right now you have no idea how much data you just read. Also, if this is streaming data, you might want to break it out into a producer/consumer design pattern.
Not fixed means order is not fixed, data from any com port can come anytime. lenght is fixed, one com port have 14 byte and other 8 byte fixed..
Reading data is not an issue for me as it works nice but I have a query that why my application hangs after sometime and stops reading data from COM PORT.
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

Without NI DAQ device- how to get data from MSP into labVIEW and process it
Hi,
I do not have an NI DAQ device. I have an MSP430 and my sensor is an ADXL335 Accelerometer. How do I get data from my MSP into labVIEW and process it?
Just looking for a nudge in the right direction. I'm having a hard time finding resources on labVIEW that don't involve NI specific DAQs.
Thanks in advance,
AzizThere are many ways to get data into LabVIEW that do not involve NI-DAQ devices.
I think your easiest option would be to stream it via serial port if the data rate isn't too fast.

How to get data from subsites list of SharePoint 2010 in ssrs
Hi,
Can someone help me on this issue.
I want to create a report using ssrs, I have some of the data in SQL and some of the data in sharepoint list.
First I need to go to SQL and get the data from the table which contains URL for the subsite in sharepoint.
after that I need to go to all the subsites and go to perticulat list in the subsites and get data from that list.
for example, their is a top level site "abc"
it contains sub site "123", "456","567", etc.. All this sub sites contain a list by name "Sample List", Now I need to go to that sub site list(Sample List) and get list-item column say "created By" which
is created on particular date.
in my report, I need to print the sub site "url/Title" which comes from SQL database and list-item column "Created By" of that sub site list "Sample List".
I tried using subreport inside a report by using "Microsoft SharePoint List" as a datasource, but when it comes to real time we don't know how many subsites will be created, so we can't create a datasource for each subsite site.
I guess we need to be using XML as a datasource, but how can we go to particular subsite in query while using XML, since all subsites have list with the same name ?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
KishoreHi Kishore,
SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) supports expression-based connection strings. This will help us to achieve the goal you mentioned in this case:
Create a new report
Create a Data Source in the report with the connection string like this:
http://server/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (We use static connection string instead of expression-based connection string now, as it is not supported to get fields based on expression-based connection string in design time. We will change it to be expression-based
connection string later)
Create the data set(as you have done using XML query language). Please use list name instead of GUID in the listName parameter.
Design the report(e.g. Add controls to the report)
Now, let's change the connection string to be expression-based. First, please add a parameter to the report, move this parameter to top. This parameter is used to store the sub site name.
Open the Data Source editor, set the connection string to be: ="http://server/" & Parameters!parameterCreatedInStep5.value & "_vti_bin/lists.asmx"
In the main report, pass the sub site name to the report we created above via the parameter created in step5
That is all.
Anyway, this is actually a SQL Server Reporting Service(SSRS) question. You can get better support on this question from:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqlreportingservices/threads
For more information about Expression-Based connection string, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156450.aspx#Expressions
If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.

How to get data from Oracle using Native SQL in SAP.. Problem with date
Hi Masters.
I'm trying to get data from an Oracle DB. I was able to connect to Oracle using tcode DBCO. The connetion works fine
I wrote this code and it works fine without the statement of where date > '01-09-2010'
But i need that statement on the select. I read a lot about this issue, but no answer.
My code is (this code is in SAP ECC 6.0)
DATA: BEGIN OF datos OCCURS 0,
id_numeric(10),
component_name(40),
comuna(10),
record_id(10),
status,
sampled_date(10),
END OF datos.
DATA: c TYPE cursor.
EXEC SQL.
connect to 'LIM' as 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
SET CONNECTION 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL PERFORMING loop_output.
SELECT ID_NUMERIC, COMPONENT_NAME, COMUNA, RECORD_ID, STATUS, SAMPLED_DATE
into :datos from lims.SAMP_TEST_RESULT
where date > '01-09-2010'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
disconnect 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
How can i get the data from that date?? If i delete the where statemet, the program works well, it takes 30 mins and show all the data, I just need the data from that date.
Any help
RegardsPlease refer the example in this link which deals with Oracle date format.
You can finnd a command DECODE which is used for date formats. If you have a look at whole theory then you will get an idea.

then the second column is to_month in the same format 'mon/yyyy'
now i wiil select from_month and to_month like
from month jan/2009
to month mar/2010
how to use between of two months in the format of char.Please tell me how to get two different month between data.Hi,
This may be of help.
Remember Pointless has made a point ;) (worth millions)
If possible , DO NOT store dates as strings or numbers.Let dates be dates.

How to get data from a file?
Hello everyone, i'm new to this forum and to java too. Ok, so here is what i want to do:
I want to get data from a file containing words and numbers and store them into variables that i will use them after to insert into a database table. For example i have a file called employees.txt in this form:
eid ename zipcode Hire_date
1000 "Jones" 67226 "12-DEC-95"
In C++ i declare variables for each data and store them, for example in this case:
ifstream in("somefile");
string name, hdate;
int eid, zip;
in >> eid >> ename >> zip >> hdate;
So i want to do the same thing in JAVA but i can't make it work. So, i would appreciate if someone could give me a simple example how to do it. Thank you.[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html]

How to get it from PDF is another matter...
I'm working on an app that downloads PDFs with a Large amount of data as a blob, takes that blob and changes it to XML, then goes through the xml to validate each section of data and then add it into the schema that my apex app is referencing....
I didn't write the original code but I do know that it isn't a quick thing to implement and includes using some uploading some java jar files to your schema and writing some custom java code.
Someone else may be able to help with grabbing PDF data into the URL for the amounts of data you want to pass to apex.
