How to write a Data Plugin to access a binary file

hi
Im a newbee to DIAdem, i want to develop a data plugin to access a binary file with any number of channels.For example if there around 70 channels, the raw data would in x number of files which will contain may be around 20 channels in each file . Raw file consist of header(one per file), channel sub header(one per channel),Calibration Data Segment(unprocessed datas) and Test data segments(processed data)....
Each of these contains many different fields under them and their size varies ....
Could suggest me some procedure to carry out this task taking into consideration of any number of channels and any number of fields under them....
Expecting your response....
Jhon

Jhon,
I am working on a collection of useful examples and hints for DataPlugin development. This document and the DataPlugin examples are still in a early draft phase. Still I thought it could be helpful for you to look at it.
I have added an example file format which is similar to what you described. It's referred to as Example_1. Let me know whether this is helpful ...

How to write the data into EEPROM using Labview?

How to write the data into EEPROM using Labview?

You would need some sort of EEPROM programmer. Typically might
communicate with it via serial. I don't know how you would do this in
LV. You would need to have the command protocol for the programming
device to start with.

Best way how to write FPGA data in rt cRIO system in tdms file

Hej,
I am struggling to write measured data from an analog input (NI 9215) sampled at up to 20 kHz to a tdms file in the rt system (crio-9022). I just need to save several periods of 4 arbitrary analog signals at frequencies between 5 Hz and 1KHz. So storing up to 50k values should already be enough.
I use a high priority and a low priority loop. First I tried to adapt the example from the "Getting Started with CompactRIO - Logging Data to Disk" (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/11198). But when I used this in my high priority loop (running at 1ms), the loop runs out of time and the rt system becomes unresponsible. If I change the number of elements to write (the number of elements to wait for in the fifo read block) it becomes better, but still data is lost because the loop finishes late.
So I was thinking to create a RT fifo and to store all the values from the measurement first in this memory inside the high priority loop and then write the values to the tdms file in the low priority loop. This time I used the read/write fpga block instead of the FPGA fifo block. It was already working better but writing the files to the tdms file took a lot of time since each value was read and written to the tdms file individually. Unfortunately I could not find a possibility how to write the whole rt fifo to the tdms file at once. Is there a block available or is it possible to create a big array first and then write the data to the tdms file at once? My code I tried is in this second picture.
I hope someone can give me some tips which method should be better for my project and a hint what I did wrong or what I can optimize. I stucked for days now on how to save my measurements on the cRIO system.
Thank you very much in advance. Have a nice weekend.
Best regards

HiXiebo and Christian,
thank you very much for your answers. Actually, my high priority loop is much slower. I run it with a maximum loop time of 50us = 20kHz or slower, depending on my Signal I want to measure. So my data producing rate is maximum 4*8*20k=640 KB/s. My low priority loop runs at 2ms to 5 ms (much slower then the high priority loop), since I am doing just some simple math calculation there and control the front panel in this loop.
I understand that it is much more efficient to write blocks of data (e.g. 1024*32KB instead of just 32KB) to a file with TDMS. But is it also the same for a queue or RT FIFO, i.e. does the block size of the data chunks also matter for the queue and RT FIFO?
@Xiebo: I understand that caching the read data from the FPGA in the high priority loop first will improve my code. But I do not know how I can cache the data I read? I was thinking to do it with the FPGA FIFO, but the FPGA read/write blocks seem to be faster for me and I do not know why? Can you tell me a block/vi to cache the data I read from the FPGA or maybe even an example?
@Christian: This NI_MinimumBufferSize property looks exactly what I was looking for. But my question is now if I should put the tdms write VI's in my high priority loop and read directly from the FPGA FIFO buffer to the file as it is done in the Disk logging example at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/11198? Or is it better to read the data from the FPGA via the FPGA read/write function, write the data to a RT FIFO in the high priority loop and then write the data with the NI_MinimumBufferSize property option to the tdms file from the RT FIFO in the low priority loop?
In summary, I am still unsure if the FPGA FIFO or the FPGA read/write function with a queue or RT FIFO is better for me and how I can create a cache to build chunks of data blocks to write.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards
Andy

How to import the data in a .xls or .xlsx file into a oracle database table

Hi,
Please tell me how to import the data in a .xls or .xlsx file into a oracle database table in Oracle 10gR2 using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2.

....can we do something through Non-Oracle->ODBC?Yes, it is possible, look at this thread
[SQLServer access from AIX Warehouse builder|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2502982]
If your server (with target DB and OWB runtime) is on Windows OS this configuration will be simpler - you can use single server.
And additional link on OWB blog (with 11g transparent gateway)
[http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2008/01/11g_heterogeneous_agent.html]
(configuring nonoracle connection with 10g generic connectivity very similar to 11g gateway)
Also look at

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

Storing data in tablemodel to a binary file

hi,
i have a program that uses AbstractTableModel with Jtable....I need to store data in a file when the program closes... i heard that there is a way to some how convert data in Tablemodel to a binary file and retrieve data from the binary file...other then storing it in a text file and parsing the data. So can anyone help me?
Thanks

You can loop through the data in the table and Serialize the data using object serialization.
Simply implement the java.io.Serializable interface. Then use this code for serizlizing the data. Note that to serialize data, it must be an object not primitive types.
serialize to a binary file
try
    ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("datastore.ser")));
    os.writeObject(<your data from table>);
    os.flush();
catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }
reconstructing the object from binary file
try
    ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("datastore.ser")));
    obj = (<data type of Object>) is.readObject();
catch (IOException ioe)
    ioe.printStackTrace();
}Hope this helps,

When I try to download a software up date for another program in Binary File (eg CCleaner or a Microsoft file) in FireFox they all just come up in the download window as 'Cancelled'? When I go to the destination folder the download file icon is there wit

When I try to download a software up date for another program in Binary File (eg. C Cleaner or a Microsoft file) in Firefox they all just come up in the download window as 'Canceled'? When I go to the destination folder the download file icon is there with 0 Kb's for size...Then when I click 'RETRY' the download it appears to download fully, but when I go into the destination folder the downloaded file is not there? I need to know if there is something in the Firefox options to resolve this problem or much more!!

If all .exe files are blocked, antivirus software is most likely configured to block them. See if you can download these with your antivirus and/or security software disabled.

How to Get Current Date from MS Access in a Select Statement

From a java method, I want to use JDBC to get the current date from MS Access. In Oracle I would do "select sysdate from dual", but I can't figure out how to do it in MS Access. Here are some of my attempts. I have a table in my Access db called PARM.
//        String sql = "SELECT '0', NOW() FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT DATE() AS CURR_DT FROM PARM";
//rs.next() is false
//        String sql = "SELECT NOW()";
//StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
//        String sql = "select { fn now() } from parm";
        String sql = "SELECT Date()";
//java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
        if (rs.next()) {
            return rs.getString(1);
        } else {
               return null;
          }

Why are you getting it as a String? You should be getting it as a timestamp.
Although getString works for me too. There is something else wrong that you haven't shown.
Here is some shoddy, but simple, test code that demonstrates it working.
import java.sql.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:stats");
    Statement s = c.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT NOW()");
    while(rs.next()){
      System.out.println(rs.getTimestamp(1));
    rs.close();
    s.close();
    c.close();
}

How to write plan data into Transactional Cube from Visual Composer ?

Dear experts,
Visual Composer is very powerfull to build a 'nice-looking' web-report (I think is much better than Web Application Designer in term of freely position the chart/graph/table/selection parameter in anywhere we like. We can't have this flexibility in WAD) plus it also has strong integration to R/3 for posting the transactions via RFC-Enabled Function Module (such as changing customer credit limit, approve PO, approve Sales Order, etc), so that the R/3 user won't even have to know the TrxCode.
In addition to this, I just wondering if VC also capable to write plan data into transactional cube via Write-Enable Query. We can simply insert a BW Query into VC as planning layout (set the edit-mode to "editable") plus having some Wizards to make it more user-friendly and self-explanatory for the users.
But I am not sure how to save the changes back to transactional cube from VC.
Could anyone please kindly advise how to achieve this.
"Seeing is believing" is always my learning method, so I would appreciate some "actioanable" explanation or hints.
Many thanks,
Sen

Hi Sen,
As far as I know, it's not possible to write data into transactional cubes directly from a table in Visual Composer through standar method, but it's possible to integrate a WAD with your input ready query into a URL element in VC (You can fill entry variables in VC and call WAD dinamically), so it's possible to create a planning application in VC calling dinamically WAD's.
Another way to interact through VC is creating button objects that calls planning sequences (with BAPI calling RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE). Also can fill variables in VC and pass them to sequence.
Regards,
Enrique
