How to read the data in spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) and put it in Excel using Labview

Hi all, I'm new to using the labview, and I have some trouble doing my project using the labview software.
I have been trying to use the spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) which connect to computer using the GPIB connection.
I have got the instrument driver which can write and control the instrument using Labview 2010.
and my Question is how do read the data or result from the spectrum analyzer and send it to the microsoft excel?
Do I need to use other software or programming to do this step?
If anyone know how is this done, please let me know.
Regards,
Ery

Hi ery,
In order to send data that you have read in from an instrument to Excel, the most convenient way to do this would be to use our Report Generation Toolkit. The Report Generation Toolkit is a very useful tool that allows you to interface to Microsoft Office software from LabVIEW, including Word and Excel. I am not sure if you are familiar with this, but I have attached a link that explains more about the Report Generation Toolkit below.
Another way would be to use the Write To Spreadsheet File VI. While this will store your data to a spreadsheet data file, it will not allow you to programmatically perform any Excel formatting like the Report Generation Toolkit offers. I have also attached a link to some information on the Write To Spreadsheet VI below.
Also, be sure to check out the Example Finder in LabVIEW for a number of examples on how to write data to a spreadsheet file. From LabVIEW, you can go to Help»Find Examples to launch the Example Finder. From there, you can search for "spreadsheet," which should populate examples for use in different applications. I hope this helps, ery. Please let me know if you have any further questions about these!

How to read the data in excel sheet

Dear sir,
How to read the data in excel sheet when i recieve a data serial communication... ie i have store a data in excel such that
Cell A Cell B
A Apple
B Ball
C Cat
D Doll
when i recieve A from serial communication i have to display Apple, and when i recieve B i have to display Ball and so on..

Hi,
I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached.
Trust this would help you solve the issue.

How to read the date and time information of a file by labview

how to read the date and time information of a file by labview? for example, created time and modified time.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you need to know the last modification date of file:-
"Functions->File I/O->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info.vi"
This vi returns the value of file's last modification date. This is returned as U32 number. To see it in MM/DD/YY format you must create the indicator, right-click on it and select "Format & Precision" item from drop-down menu. Then select "Time and Date" format there.
Thanks as kudos only

you don't appear to have posted valid XML, so I can't reproduce using your example, but you will need to look at something like this:
select xtab.common_name
from your_table yt
      ,xmltable('/SearchResourceResponse'
          passing xmltype(yt.response_xml)
          columns
              common_name varchar2(20) path 'SearchResponseDetails/CommonName'
      ) xtab

How to read the 'date modified' of a file?

I need to read the date that a file was modified so I can see
if it has been updated. The file is just a text file in the same
directory as my swf file.
I tried using FLfile.getModificationDate, but it doesn't seem
to work. Every way I write the code, I get no response. It does not
seem to find the file. I even tried using the FLfile.write as a
test, without luck. I searched and the FLfile.dll is on my machine,
but I wonder if I have to somehow let the flash file know its
there.
I also tried using FileReference.modificationDate, but from
what I have come to understand, I need to populate the
FileReference object and that populating the FileReference object
involves uploading or downloading the file. I'm not up or
downloading the file, I just need to know if it has been updated by
other software. Otherwise, how do I populate the FileReference
object. Can it check on dates without up or downloading?
Does anyone have an idea of the best way to read the date
that the file was modified?
Thank you.

quite right, you need to create a Project (and a JavaScript
file)
then you can use the JavaScript that you want to use

I need the detail about how to read the data from spreadsheet file. but the file should not created by labview.

i face some difficulties here. the datas are encrypted...... how to get correct data ..........

Excel files are in a propriertary microsoft format. A LabVIEW "spreadsheet" file is a file containing an ASCII table with tabs separating columns and linefeeds separating rows. They are not ther same!
If you use "write to spreadsheet file" and name the file *.xls, this does NOT make it an excel file, it just tells the operating system to open it with excel if you double-click it. Excel is smart enough to notice that it is not really an excel file and does its best to convert it transparently. The same does not work in reverse.
You have several options:
You can use excel to export your data to something LabVIEW can read. Try e.g. tab delimited text.
You can use e.g. activeX to read an excel file, see: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3409
Search for excel in your example finder for more possibilites.

Hi,
Create a Value attribute (resource) of type Resource, bind it with the property of File Upload UI element.
On action place the code and Deploy the application
byte[] bytes = new byte[ 1024];
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( new File( <path in server>));
InputStream in = resource.read( true);
int len;
while( ( len = in.read( bytes)) > 0)
out.write( bytes, 0, len);
in.close();

How to read the date in Time management schema or in Payroll schema

Dear all,
My issue is before 16th in current month, the overtime/absence's wage type should be one and after 16th should be another.For example, before 16th,the overtime wage type is 5001 and the absence deduction wage type is 5002,and after the 16th, the overtime wage type should be 5004 and the absence deduction should be 5005.So I need to read the date in schema then I can choose which wage type should I use.
So what can I do?
Hope your advice.Thank you.

If the the employee was absent upto 16the one wage type has to be generated and after 16th another wage type should get generated right and after 16the another wage tyoe has to generate
For this
Have two Absence Valuation rule TSAU1 TSAU2 from V_T554C
and built the logic the opertaion CMPER will help you in compare the periods or else you can use NUM= FY01 like that
or else you can write a rule based on the wage type by haveing the Customer Specific Processing Class

How to read the data file and write into the same file without a temp table

Hi,
I have a requirement as below:
We are running lockbox process for several business, but for a few businesses we have requirement where in we receive a flat file in different format other than how the transmission format is defined.
This is a 10.7 to 11.10 migration. In 10.7 the users are using a custom table into which they are first loading the raw data and writing a pl/sql validation on that and loading it into a new flat file and then running the lockbox process.
But in 11.10 we want to restrict using temp table how can we achieve this.
Can we read the file first and then do validations accordingly and then write to the same file and process the lockbox.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

Hello Gurus,
Let me tell you about my requirement clearly with an example.
Problem:
i am receiving a dat file from bank in below format
105A371273020563007 07030415509174REF3178503 001367423860020015E129045
in this detail 1 record starting from 38th character to next 15 characters is merchant reference number
REF3178503 --- REF denotes it as Sales Order
ACC denotes it as Customer No
INV denotes it as Transaction Number
based on this 15 characters......my validation comes.
If i see REF i need to pick that complete record and then fill that record with the SO details as per my system and then submit the file for lockbox processing.
In 10.7 they created a temporary table into which they are loading the data using a control file....once the data is loaded into the temporary table then they are doing a validation and updating the record exactly as required and then creating one another file and then submitting the file for lockbox processing.
Where as in 11.10 they want to bypass these temporary tables and writing it into a different file.
Can this be handled by writing a pl/sql procedure ??
My findings:
May be i am wrong.......but i think .......if we first get the data into ar_payments_interface_all table and then do the validations and then complete the lockbox process may help.
Any suggestions from Oracle GURUS is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

How to read the data from excel file and store into the table?

Hi All,
I have table with BLOB datatype contains a excel file. I have to read that data from excel and store into one table with all the fields in excel.
All the excel fields and my table columns are same.
Can you share with me how can acheive this using LOB's?
Thanks

Hi OraSuirya,
you can try with external tables .
syntax as follows
create table ext_table_csv (
i Number,
n Varchar2(20),
m Varchar2(20)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('file.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
For this you need to create directory
Directory Creation syntax:
create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
I hope this will help you.
Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .
Thanks,
Tippu.
