How to save as .cvs instead of plain .txt?

Hi, I am new at the whole LabVIEW thing.  I'm sorry if this was posted before, but I can't find this with search.  After acquiring data, how do I create a .cvs file with timestamp (comma separated value) with LabVIEW?  What VI or VIs should I use?  Thanks.

RobinC,
I think another option for you is the "Write to LabVIEW measurement file" (I'm assuming you have LabVIEW 7). If you are using a DAQmx vi, you can set it to output a waveform which has time stamp information in it.
The "Getting Started with LabVIEW" manual would be a great resource for you too. You can get to it by going to help>>search the LabVIEW book shelf>>Getting Started with LabVIEW. The end of chapter two discusses using the Write to LabVIEW measurement file.vi.

  • How to "Save Image" directly instead of "Save Image As"?

    Is there anyway or option to directly save images instead of having to click "save image as" then go into the popup to save the image location? Thank you!

    Gingerbread Man made good suggestions.
    However you still must "save as" something even if "unnamed001". Windows requires a name and location for each file (whether an image or other file) saved. You can have the same file name in different directories (folders).
    You can copy and paste images without saving, in some applications.

  • How to save report data as a plain text file

    running APEX 4.0. I have to extract some query data to send via a text file. I see that my report options are RTF, CSV or XML - is there a way to get it out as TXT?
    The Data Unload does have this option but the data is not from a single table (though I can dump it all into a temp table if this is the only way to export as TXT) but is it possible to have the end user run the Data Unload from an application or is this just a developers option?
    The goal is to have a user be able to run the report and save it as TXT without having to "do" anything other than click a button.

    I put it as a before header process on a blank page - when the page is called from a button, this htp.prn runs, you save the file, and with the
    htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; at the end, the rest of that page doesn't run.

  • How to Save OVER original instead of creating another file

    Hi, I set up iphoto to edit in photoshop. When I use photoshop I save it as is, without renaming or finding a new folder to put it in. At first, I assumed I would be effectively saving OVER the original, but when I clicked through "Show File" in iphoto it showed me a file in a modified folder.
    Since then I have had to save my photoshopped photos in a completely different folder, imported them into iphoto, and deleted the originals. This is a pain. I would really love to find a way (or have someone create a way) to opt to save OVER the original. Sometimes, yes, it is nice to keep the original. But I am wise enough to decide for myself when the original is garbage and it's killing me to try to work around this. I'm not running out of space on my computer yet (it's only 9 months old) but I'd like to make sure I am not wasting any space.
    Thanks for your help!

    Media Expression will do what you want and it will allow you to manage your folders yourself, add keywords, create albums (called Supplemental Categories) and a lot more.
    Unfortunately (or not) iPhoto follows the tenets of good DAM (digital asset management) and preserves the original file as the digital negative. EM can do the same thing or let the user overwrite it if desired. All good DAM applications protect the original in one way or another. If an edit were to go wrong somehow and was accidentally saved there would be no going back.
    Another option would be to use an image browser to manage the photos and use iPhoto only for special projects like books, calendars, cards, etc. That's what I do. I use EM to manage my photos and iPhoto for the special stuff.

  • Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

    Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

  • How to save new contact from phone app to ms outlook work account instead of local contact

    Hi,
    I need some help please.
    I usually save new numbers that call me from the phone app, I just hit "add to contacts".
    I keep all of my contacts on my work microsoft outlook account so they are synced with my work, I have absolutely no local contacts on the phone.
    My Z10 saves these contacts directly as local contacts instead of saving them on my work account.
    However, if I go to the phonebook app, and select add new contact from there, I have the option to select whether it's a personal or a work contact. If I select work contact, it will save it to my work outlook and everything's fine, however when saving from the phone app I don't have this option.
    I don't understand what I'm doing, wrong, please help on how to save to work account directly from phone app.
    Thank you
    Solved!

    Hey bllizzard,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    What version of BlackBerry 10 software are you currently using?  Go to Settings>About to find this information.
    When in the phone application and press and hold a number, choose add to contacts.  Then click Add contact at the bottom, at the very top you'll have a choice to choose Personal or Work.  Choose Work if you want the contact saved to your work email account.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

    How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

    Hi DW,
    Numbers 3.2.2
    Instead of Menu > File > Export To,  use Menu > File > Print...
    That takes you to Print Preview.
    In the Print Setup panel, Click on the Print... button lower right (it won't print yet).
    That opens the Print Dialogue.
    Click on the PDF Pop-Up Menu lower left.
    Choose Open PDF in Preview or Save as PDF.
    That will have page breaks and will be full sized.
    Print from Preview.

  • How to save pdf file in database

    Dear All,
    my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

    I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
    Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
    These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

  • How to save backup in a target folder

    I am trying to figure out how to save a backup to a folder when I backup files like G:/Data Backup instead of creating a folder with a random name. I have a WD My passport portable hard drive using WD smartware.   With backups will it save to that target location and replace just files that have changed?

    You can't. All you can do is move the top level folder of the save from the root of the drive to somewhere a bit deeper down a file tree, e.g. your G:/Data Backup folder. But what will then happen is the WDSmartware.swstor folder will be created within that folder, and the device and drive sub-folders within that. It's done that way as Smartware is actually designed to work with NAS drives to save backups from multiple devices and multiple drives within those devices. The "random name" you describe isn't actually random, it's the ID of the individual drive(s) within the device you're backing up. For your case you might want to look at the new WD Backup Software, which may meet your needs a little better. I haven't tried it (as I need proper NAS backup, hence use Smartware), but from the description it's better suited to backups onto portable drives like your MP.

  • How to save Charts to a word document using LabVIEW Report Genereration toolkit?

    I just started using the LabVIEW Report Genereration toolkit, but I can't figure out how to save Waveform Charts (one dimensional data versus time, instead of Graphs) to a Word document. Can somebody give a suggestion? Thanks!

    Nina,
    In MS Word, you have 2 options when you select Insert Object:
    Microsoft Excel Chart
    Microsoft Graph 2000 Graph
    If you select Insert Picture, you can choose Chart. This is the same chart as when you select Microsoft Excel Chart.
    To insert this chart, you will use Word Insert Graph.vi. This VI calls Word_Insert_Chart.vi, that uses ADO object Graph.Chart and its properties and methods.
    From the Microsoft Help:
    Create a chart by using Microsoft Graph
    When you create a chart by using Microsoft Graph, a chart and its associated data are displayed in a table called a "datasheet."

  • How to save a JPG in 256 colors?

    I'm using Photoshop CS2.
    1. How to save a JPG in 256 colors?
    2. Is there a way to see an image properties?
    -- I want to know if that image is in 256 color or not...

    Mary Jo, since you are a newcomer, you may not yet understand that in any given Adobe forum, there are a whole bunch of conversations going on at the same time. Each one of these is about a certain "topic", described in the title and opening post. The discussion sometimes stays right on point, and sometimes veers off a bit, and there are often quick side-issues branching off from the main topic, but still related. Within limits, people here try to keep the discussion on a single general topic. For example, in this topic, the initial issue is whether there is a way, in Photoshop, to limit the number of colors in a JPEG image to 256; there were discussions about whether this could be done or not, and alternative programs that may be able to accomplish this, and a comparison of the file sizes for 256 bit images in different file types.
    Your question, however, is not a logical outgrowth of the discussion. It's a perfectly good question, but it deserves its own new discussion topic. It's like a bunch of people have been sitting around a table discussing the merits of Canon vs. Nikon SLRs, and someone sits down at the table and, instead of joining the conversation, asks a completely unrelated question about point-and-shoot cameras, or camcorders.
    It's off-topic here, and you should start a new topic. Make the title descriptive, such as "Why does a 8 megapixel image result in a 3 megabyte file on my computer?" (assuming that's what you want to ask -- just "M" doesn't tell me whether you are talking about MP or MB). In the initial post, provide a more detailed description of what you want to know. Tell us what camera and Photoshop version you are using, and how you encountered the issue. People will see that a new topic raises an issue they know something about and you will get a response -- probably a good answer, if you keep in the conversation.
    [Edit: Trez hit "post" before I did. Trez-- I think she is using Photoshop, not Elements; she did say CS2.]
