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.

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 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! =]

MAT_Image_Adjust.zip 1779 KBHi 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,
I want to read a Matlab MAT file into labview
Hope this helps, James

How to open an excel file from labview?
I tried to use "open file" vi from File I/O -- Advanced file functions to open an excel file in LabVIEW. Why the excel file wouldn't open after I run the program?
In addition to ActiveX, you can also manipulate Excel data files using the Windows ADO interface - a technique that is more robust, faster and IMHO easier. Do a search on the forum as there have been several threads within the last week or so discussing this very thing.

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.

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -
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 open a local file from javascript in a jsp-page
Hi
I have created an iview from a PAR file. In the par file I have a jsp-page with some javascript code. From the javascript coe I want to open a new window with an Excel file.
I have tried window.open("c:
test.xls", "test_window"), but it doesn't seem to work. I have created a small HTML page locally with the same command and there a new window opens with the Excel file.
If I change the local file path with an URL it also works.
Any idea how to open a local file ?
Thanks
/JakobJacob,
I'm not 100% (but 99,9%) and it has to do with security ristrictions of the browser not allowing to have local workstation interation from the web. This is ofcourse very dangerous if the browser would allow it... So therfore it is blocked. What if somone would point to a file/executable that formats your drive so for that reason it is not allowed to have web interaction with a local file. Only with Java Applets this is possible but still with many limitations, and what I remember Google Gears and Adobe Air do have some limited web 2 local file interaction... So best and most simple solution you are left with is pointing to a url instead of a file on a c:\ drive.
PS The reason why it works when you start the html from your local PC has todo with the fact that the browser detects that the html is not running in the web at that moment therefor allowing the access.
Cheers,

You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights

to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

How to open a .pse file in photoshop elements?
Hello,
All my previous files were saved as (.psd). Somehow, one of my photoshop elements projects was saved as a (.pse). I can't open it. How can I re open this file and continue working?
Thanks in AdvanceA PSD is the standard working file for Photoshop.
A PSE is a project file for Photoshop Elements. These projects are multiple pages. If you are working with a PSE on Windows, there will be a folder along side your PSE that contains a PSD file for each page of the PSE. If you are missing this folder, you won't be able to open the file. The PSE file itself is just instructions on how to open the PSD files as pages of a project. On Mac, all of these files are wrapped up in a single container. -
