How to read a part of a TDMS file?

Hi,
I'm having problems loading back a part of a TDMS file.
Im currently trying to use the offset and count input on TDMS read.
But the offset value doesn't seem to make any difference: If I set offset to 5 and count to 10 it still puts out 10 data points.
By the way:
Im using labview 8.5, and I multiply the offset and count with the sample rate (100000samples/s) so that offset and count settings input will correspond to seconds of measurement to load.
I would be very grateful for any help
Regards

I am new to TDMS as well so take what I say with a grain (block) of salt. But as no one else has answered, I'll give it a shot. First of all, at 100000 S/s and an input for COUNT of 10 X 100000, you will always get 10 seconds worth of data. Your graph is not showing you 10 data points, it is showing you 10 seconds OF data. This is expected behavior. By varying the OFFSET input as you have it you will step through your data 5 seconds (5 X 100000 points) at a time. So, for IN offset =0 you will see data from 0 to 10 seconds, for IN offset =1 you will see data from 5 to 15 seconds, for IN offset =2 you will see data from 10 to 20 seconds, etc. You also will probably NOT see the X scale change accordingly as it has no way to know what the initial time of your data set is, unless you tell it. All it knows is that it has a set of 1M data points with a 1e-6 second delta t.
Hope this helps.

package java.io
InputStream.read(): int
Reads the next byte of data from the input stream.
Implementation:
InputStreamReader
An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and decodes them into characters using a specified charset. The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

How can read/write FORMSWEB.CFG & DEFAULT.ENV file entries programatically?

I guess you cannot. There is an enhancement request to get the name of the config-section as a GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY.
What you could do is add extra parameter(s) to your form and pass the necessary formsweb.cfg parameters in this form parameter. See Get formsweb.cfg section name in Forms for more info and an example.

How to read contents of more than 2 files.

hi all
help me.
How to read contents of more than 2 files.
For reading a file contents we uses normally FileInputStream
For reading two file contents we uses normally SequenceInputStream
But which class we have to use for reading contents of more than 2 files at a time
thanks in advance.

SequenceInputStream can be used for reading any number of input streams (not at once, but one after the other).
This involves making an Enumeration that returns the input streams you want to read. Depending on what you want to do, it might be just as easy to read them one after another.
Or consider making a Vector of your input streams and using its elements() method. Like this:(untested)Vector<InputStream> inVec = new Vector<InputStream>();
inVec.add(new FileInputStream("foo.dat"));
inVec.add(new FileInputStream("bar.dat"));
inVec.add(new FileInputStream("baz.dat"));
// later...
SequenceInputStream in = new SequenceInputStream(inVec.elements());

How to read SYstemstate level 266 dump trace file?
I tried googling it but didnt find any good article?

Hi,
It is supposed to graph frequency content vs time, and the display I get comes all black. Look at the attachments for the load state, the first one is the legacy SW and the second one is the modified one.
I put probes on them, and the legacy one gets the 250,000 from the Value embedded. The modified one it is supposed to get it from the sample rate path, please let me know if this is enough info, thanks.

How to read iCal events from SQLite Cache file?

I need to figure out how to read event entries in the Cache file stored in /Library/Calenders/ as my actual events have been corrupted due to a file system problem. The example below shows the information I have for each entry, where the event in the entry was Bon Jovi Concert, however I am confused how I can read the date and time of the event, information I believe is stored as 218215639,219613081,219524400,219540600. Any help is greatly appreciated.
INSERT INTO "ZCALENDARITEM" VALUES(0,NULL,0,NULL,0,5,NULL,6,4039,NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,23,0,0,0,0,6,0,21821563 9,219613081,219524400,219540600,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'local_AFB8D342-2DAE-4F A1-A9A6-3FA9B28B5C7C','Bon Jovi Concert',NULL,NULL,NULL,'Europe/London',NULL,'0E17BBB6-0E76-4024-8DD7-60E43D38D 35B');

OK, here we go ... I hope. I have tried it on my iCal, with about 2000 entries, and it worked. I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
Make a new text file from sql as before, but using this modified command to get additional data for each event:
sqlite3 Desktop/Hope 'select ZSTARTDATE, ZCALENDARITEM.ZTITLE, ZENDDATE, ZNODE.ZTITLE, ZISALLDAY, ZRECURRENCERULE, ZISDETACHED from ZCALENDARITEM inner join ZNODE on ZCALENDARITEM.ZCALENDAR = ZNODE.Z_PK where ZSTARTDATE not null' >hope.txt
I suggest you make a new user account, then copy the text file hope.txt and the script to the Public/Drop Box folder for that account. Log on to the new account and copy the two files from the drop box to the Desktop. Start iCal and make new calendars to match those in your ordinary account. Double click the script to open it in Script Editor and CHANGE THE DATE RANGE in the "set ThePeriod" line. Stand well back and click the run button. Every 50 records processed it will pop up a progress box, which will pop down again after a second. Go for lunch.
When it is finished see if things look OK in iCal. If they do export each of the calendars, copy them to the drop box of your normal account and return to your normal account to import them.
If there is an error make a note of the error message and line number, find that line in the text file, and post it here with a couple of lines either side.
Note that for recurring items iCal normally only makes a single event, the first occurrence, then uses a recurrence rule to calculate if the event should be displayed in the current window. If there are any recurring events in the period you have selected where the first occurrence is before the period they will not be recreated. Where however you have changed a single occurrence of a recurring event iCal makes a new, detached, event. Any of these in the period will be detected. If their original event was also in the period they will now appear in the iCal display as duplicates. For easy spotting of these, I have prefixed "XX-" to the title of any detached events.

How to write Date/Time property of tdms file

On the root page of the tdms file, there is a built-in property called "Date/Time" in the first row.
I would like to use it to save the time stamp when the tdms file is created. But in the help file,
I only find the following property constant. So, how can I write to the "Date/Time" property field?
Property
Constant
Data Type
Name
TDMS_FILE_NAME
String (char *)
Description
TDMS_FILE_DESCRIPTION
String (char *)
Title
TDMS_FILE_TITLE
String (char *)
Author
TDMS_FILE_AUTHOR
String (char *)
Thanks for any idea or suggestion.

Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but have you tried this?
CVIAbsoluteTime CVItime, *t = NULL;
TDMSFileHandle deH = 0;
// Create TDMS file and set some properties
errChk (TDMS_CreateFileEx (file, TDMS_Streaming2_0, TDMS_ByteOrderNative, 0,"example.tdm", "someText", "title", "author", &deH));
GetCurrentCVIAbsoluteTime (&CVItime);
errChk (TDMS_SetFileProperty (deH, "Date/Time", TDMS_Timestamp, CVItime));
// Save and close file
errChk (TDMS_SaveFile (deH));
TDMS_CloseFile (deH);

What VI can read raw data from a TDMS file with scaling information entered?

I would like to use scaling with my TDMS files so that the end user will
only see engineering unit values, however, within my Labview application, I
want to retrieve the raw data. Is there a way to read the raw data using
one of the Vi's in Labview?

The scaling information in a TDMS file is stored as properties of the channel. One trick (that I haven't mastered yet) is you can change the properties of the TDMS file (set properties) and set all the scales to have a offset of 0 and a scale of 1. This will apply a scale that has the engineering units be the same as the raw values. Then you can read the data like normal and you'll get the raw values.
There are several issues to be aware of, the first is changing the scale and forgetting to change it back, or some how modifying the data to be incorrect units and not knowing it. For this reason I'd recommend making a copy of the TDMS file to a temporary location to make the modifications to the properties, read it, then delete the temporary TDMS file when you are done.
This is the only way I know of to get the raw readings from a scaled TDMS channel.

How to compare signals from two different .tdms files?

i'm developing a lie detection system in labview.so inorder for that i need to compare the threshold physiological signals from the .tdms file with the signals i acquire continuelsy from the subject for each question asked.i use respiration monitor and heart beat monitor together with the sensorDAQ to acuire the physiological signals.so which are the function i should make use of?i have the following toolkits
1. advanced signal processing toolkit
2. adaptive filter toolkit
3. digital filter design toolkit
4. biomedical toolkit
please give me advise on this.
thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lie detector systems (polygraphs) generally work by looking at the physiological responses to the own subjects baseline, and do this in real-time. You could use a file that represents the stored "baseline" for the subject, but the overall environment, circumstances, general state of the subject, etc. may not be similar enough to easily see subtle changes.
From the stored file, you might determine a set of parameters or thresholds that indicate "normal, relaxed" for each signal. You could read the file into your LabVIEW program, process each channel, and save these parameters. Then when you have the new data, you can read the new data file in and process it in a similar way and then determine whether the parameters are outside the limits that you established for a "lie".

How to read every line from a text file???

How can i read every line from my text file ("eka.txt")
now it only reads the first line and prints it out.
What is wrong with this?
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Testi{
 public static void main(String []args)throws IOException {
 BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
File inputFile = new File ("eka.txt");

BufferedReader bis = new BufferedReader(fis);
String test=bis.readLine();
String tmp= "";
while((bis.readLine().trim() != null)) {
int spacefound=0;
int l=test.indexOf(" ");
 for(int i=0;i<test.length();i++){
 char c=test.charAt(i);
 if(c!=' ') tmp+=""+c;
 if(c==' ' && (spacefound<1) && !(tmp.equals(""))){
 tmp+=""+c;
 spacefound++;
 if(tmp.length()==l) {

 tmp="";
 spacefound=0;
 if(tmp.length()<l){
