How to update the absolute time value in waveform chart for labview 6i?

Hey there,
I'm developing a control system using labview 6i on win 2000 os.I'm receiving the sensor data every minute and i want to display the data on a waveform chart with absolute time scale on x-axes. I'm using the property nodes for the offset, multiplier and maximum values putting them outside the while loop and giving them input using get date/time in seconds function. the problem is that the time doesn't gets updated w/ refernce to the computer time and after a certain period the time shown on x-axes lags by several hours. any advise?

Posting an example ussually help us nail these types of issues fast.
I am therfore forced to guess.
Do you have your code written such that the scale operations occur before the loop?
The next thing I have to suspect (not being able to see your code) is if your dt is correct. If your dt is larger than what the chart is set for, then the time will fall behind.
I have included an image showing how the chart can be used to show multiple sample rate plots such that the t0 of the readings are used to control how the readings are displayed. This example uses waveform data types (I believe they were available back in 6i). It should serve as a guide to do what you want.
I suggest you start by recreating the demo and play with it until you have what
you will need in your app.
The beauty of this method is it lets you use the chart to plot signals acquired at different frequecies and plot them all together.

How to get the date-time value?

Hi All
I have a a field "START_TIME of type DATE". The value stored for that particular field is of the form "10/17/2006 2:23:40 PM" i.e. a date-time value.
Now when i try to get the values stored in the table in which the START_TIME field is defined i get the value in the form of "10/17/2006" .... I missed out the time information. Why is this so? How do i get the complete value as a string?
Thanks in advance. Vijay

Hi All
I have a a field "START_TIME of type DATE". The value stored for that particular
field is of the form "10/17/2006 2:23:40 PM" i.e. a date-time value.Actually it is stored as an internal date format (see my example SQL below, taking note of the dump'ed data).
Now when i try to get the values stored in the table in which the START_TIME field is defined i get the
value in the form of "10/17/2006" ....
I missed out the time information. Why is this so?
How do i get the complete value as a string?The value you see on the screen is the display format and this is determined by the client application that is displaying the date and what settings it is using. If a date column is retrieved from the database then all the data (date and time) is given back, but it's up to the application how that is displayed. e.g. you may see it differently if you view it is SQL*Plus against some other tool such as TOAD.
To change the display settings you can change your NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting or whatever setting is suitable for your client application, or you can use TO_CHAR with a format string to specify the components you want to see. The different with TO_CHAR is that you are converting it to a character string so don't attempt to do any date type comparisons on it after that conversion, e.g. don't try and compare if one date is greater than another, without converting it back to DATE datatype first.

How to Update the New Condition values for list of sales orders

Hi
Client requirement is they have set of old Sales Orders to be executed. But the material prices have been revised in the meantime. Now they want to update the current prices in the sales order before proceeding further.

Hi,
Though Lakshmi suggested you the right option, it may not be carried out for Sales Documents in random and will be much suited for Sales Documents with continuous sequence like 00010, 00011, 00012, 00013, etc.
If you want to New Pricing to be carried out for Specific Lists of documents like 00010, 00017, 00043, 00057, etc, then you can do by following option:
Go to Transaction "MASS", Select the Table - VBAK and Field - PRSTD and proceed by entering the Sales Documents Lists to carry out New Pricing.
Hope this will be helpful to you.

How to get the history(datapoints) of 32 waveform-charts which are in one cluster?

Thanks in advance. I would like to handle up to 32 waveform-charts by using a cluster. My problem is that the datapoints of their history has to be saved if a particular event occures. How can I get the character-node for the history of a waveform-chart inside the cluster?

I'm not certain what you are asking, but here's a suggestion. On the front panel, you can pop-up (right-click) on a waveform chart within a cluster and create a property-node (for the history), which can be manipulated as you desire on the diagram.

How to set the correct time scale of VI ?

I created a VI to display waveforms on the waveform graph. The problem is the time scale of the VI is always the year 1904.I tried to select absolute time in Property options of the waveform, but it remained the same. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks.

Your description doesn't give enough information to pinpoint the
problem, so I'll list off a few things that could be going on.
The graphs and charts accept many datatypes. If you are using the
waveform, display it on a regular waveform indicator and see what the
timestamp and deltaT are. If these are correct, then the graph should
be able to display things with no further changes except that you may
need to turn on X Scale Autoscaling so that it will zoom and shift to
show the plotted data. Charts will shift, but by default will not zoom
in, and it might make sense there sometimes too depending on the delta T
and amount of data plotted.
If the timestamp on the waveform is incorrect, then it is much easier to
construct the properly marked waveform than make the graph add to it to
label the waveform's time differently.
If you are not using the waveform, then you may be using a cluster of
X0, dX, and Y array wired to the graph. This is very similar to the
waveform, and again, it is better to add offsets to get the X0 to
display correctly on a numeric. You can extract this number or display
the cluster in an indicator, then format the numeric to display absolute
time.
If you are simply wiring the Y array, then LV will construct the X
values based upon the number of points beginning at 0 and incrementing
by one by default. When displayed as absolute time, this will default
to midnight Jan 1 2004 plus an offset based upon your timezone. In this
case, since there is no X information being piped into the graph, it is
better corrected by going to the graph properties for the X Scale and
setting the X Offset to the seconds between now and 1904. This is a
constant you can compute when your program starts up or you can use a
calculator, whichever is easier. You will also likely want to set the X
Multiplier to the deltaT between successive points. 0.001 for 1KHz, 1
for 1Hz, etc.
Finally, if these suggestions don't make sense or don't help, you might
want to explain more about what doesn't work.

How to update the table value in the valuechange event?

I have an input field in the datatable with the valueChangeListener
<rich:dataTable id="cart" value="#{cart.cartList}" var="item">
<h:inputText value="#{item.cost}" id="qty" valueChangeListener="#{items.updateCost}" onchange="submit()">
<h:outputText value="#{item.errorMsg}"> </h:outputText>
in the backing bean
     Item item = (Item) model.getRowData();
// do some update, if the cost too larger, change to max_cost
     item.setCost(max_cost);
     item.setErrorMsg("Error Msg");
After calling the valuechange method, the screen output doesn't update the cost.
How to update the table value in the valuechange event?

As you're misusing the valueChangeListener to set another input field, you need to skip the update model values phase. Otherwise the value set in the valueChangeListener will be overridden by the submitted value. You can do this by calling the FacesContext#renderResponse() inside the valueChangeListener method. This will shift the current phase immediately to the render response phase, hereby skipping the update model values and invoke application phases.

How to Update the APC values in another Depreciation Area

Hi
We have an issue that:
Due to our configuration mistakes the past values have not posted to our depreciation area 15 (Tax depreciation) and our Group Assets are not updated with these values. Now we have rectified the configuration but we want to update the already posted values in depreciation area 15 (Group Assets).
How we can update the same.
Thanks in advance to all.

You can use transaction ABSO and use a copy from the transaction type 158 Gross interco.transf.acquis. prior-yr acq.
You have to create a new transaction type copy from 158 and Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Area 15

Very Urgent.......How to update the database values through OAF pages ??

Hi All,
I am developeing some self service application thru Oracle Application Framework(OAF). There I am fetching 5 attributes from the database and displaying those attributes in my main page Table Region. Now my requirement is i want to edit that exising values & again i want to store it in the databse while clicking the update button. so first i have created one VO for fetching the values from the database & i make one Table Region in my main page along with 5 MessageTextInput field.. & i mapped that VO's attributes to my textbox.Now i can able to fetch & display the values inside the text box while rendering the page.
But I dont know how to update the values in the database. Caz in my VO I have only select query. So anyone plz send me the code for update. And also plz let me know where to insert that code..whether (CO or AM or EO)..it is very urgent.
Thanks
srini

David,
Note that the default JavaBean datacontrol does not allow create/remove and transaction operations. These apis are not implemented for the JavaBean datacontrol.
You may re-initialize the rowsetiterator, by calling ((oracle.adf.model.generic.DCRowSetIteratorImpl)iteratorBinding.getRowSetIterator()).clearCurrentData().
This will force the RSI to refresh it's data via the named-accessor again.

How to Update the oracle toad column value in table by using SSRS 2008

Hi Team,
How to update the oracle DB table column value by using SSRS 2008.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks,
Manasa.
Thank You, Manasa.V

Hi veerapaneni,
According to your description, you want to use SSRS to update data in database table. Right?
Though Reporting Services is mostly used for rendering data, your requirement is still can be achieved technically. You need to create a really complicated stored procedure. Pass insert/delete/update and the columns we need to insert/delete/update as
parameters into the stored procedure. When we click "View Report", the stored procedure will execute so that we can execute insert/delete/update inside of the stored procedure. Please take a reference to two related articles below:

How to update the ItemRenderer at runtime..?

Hi....
am facing a hectic problem with ITemRenderes..
My requirement is like i need to insert a Label and Image in
each item of Horizontal List.
For this i created a ArrayCollection with Lable and
ImagePath. And assigning array as a Dataprovider to HorizontalList.
and am attaching itemrenderer to it (which hold the lable and
image).
code:
var data:ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection({label:'A',
path:'a.jpg'}, {label:'B', path:'b.jpg'}{label:'C', path:'c.jpg'});
var hList:HorizontalList=new HorizontalList();
hList.dataProvider=data;
hList.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(rendererObj);
rendererObj holds the Lable Component and Image Componnet..
Now the porblem is am trying to change the horizontal list at
runtime. Like i want to change the lable of selected item in
Horizontal list. Am able to update the arraycollection values. But
its not getting effected in ItemRenderer.
How to update the itemerenderer at runtime...?
Thanks in Advance...

See how that works..you press the button and the itemrenderer
gets drawn into the horiz. list with the values from the
arraycollection.
I didnt implement the picture, but you get the idea on how to
get
the values into the hlist..
hope this helps...

How to synchronize the FieldPoint time with my computer time?

When I using MAX to read the values from my FieldPoint cFP-1804 module, there is and timestamp generated for every measurement, but it does not match my PC's system time. How to synchronize the FieldPoint time with my windows PC?
I found a thread on the forum regarding this problem (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C4E56AD6450FC5FD86256DFF0007FF01), it ask me to select the Time Zone on the System Setting tab, but I didn't find any System Setting tab and Time Zone setting in my MAX screen. (MAX version4.4)
I'm using the cFP-1804 without embedded CPU module, I'm using asp.net, measurement studio to link with the cFP-1804, not by using Labview. Does cFP-1804 have a Time Server function? Please tell me how to match the FieldPoint time with my PC.
Thanks

Hi Presario2100,
In order to obtain an updated timestamp with each FieldPoint Read, you should
use a Flat Sequence structure. In the same frame as the
FieldPoint Read, use a Get Date/Time In
Seconds node.
The program obtains a fresh Timestamp each time the FieldPoint Read VI is
called.
I hope this helps.
