Labview output data to mathcad

I use Labview to acquire data and use Mathcad to process data. I am wondering how to link two program together?
In other words, labview outputs a big 2D array and Mathcad to input it. If one can give an example like it, it will be a great help.
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would really like to appologize for frustrating you with this issue. That was not my intention and I am sorry. I have done alot more research on using the dll for Mathcad in LabVIEW and I think I may be on to where the problem possibly is. It seems that we may need to point the activex containers to the correct location for Mathcad. Unfortunately, you need Mathcad installed in order to point them to the correct location, so I was wondering if you could double click the Mathcad Open.vi (in the File IO with Mathcad.vi) to open the block diagram. Now go to the Block diagram of the MathCad Open.vi and open the Mathcad_App_Open.vi. Once there right click the Application Reference and click on "Select ActiveX Class" >> browse. Now from the drop down menu choose the library type for something with Mathcad on it it will probably be IMathcad but if its not then choose anything with Mathcad. After that is selected choose the object with Application in the title from the box below the drop down menu and select OK. Run the example and see if the problem dissapears.
I have provided some screenshots of the functions that I was looking at.

How to output data when converting labview vi into matlab mex functions

Hi,
I am a fairly new user to labview and am currently working on labview
7.1. I have created a labview vi which can extract data from ni daq
6070e in real time. The problem is that this code has to be converted
so that it can be used with matlab.in order to do that i am using math
interactive tool kit which converts the labview code into mex files
which can then be used in matlab. Unfortunately i have not been able to
figure out how to output this data so that it can be processed in
matlab easily. i cannot afford any loss of information and all the
output must happen in real time. the o/p must take place after the fft
has been done. i am attaching the vi for convenience.There are 10
broken wires ,and this is the place where i want the o/p to be
generated.
Also do let me know if this vi can be further improved.
Regards

Manuj,
You seem to have misunderstood the way in which LabVIEW processes data. The code that you have produced will run in exactly the same way without the need for the case structure.
The code does not actually run the data from the previous case. It is merely processing data from the previous loop iteration, regardless of the case. If you were to remove the case structure, leaving only one copy of the code intact, and remove the toggle switch you have produced, or used the shift register which, I assure you would have worked, then you will have exactly the same functionality.
I have attached an example that uses the shift register to toggle cases, but also iterates that the case structure is not needed by using the same feedback node (and code) without a toggle switch or case structure.
Hope this helps you optimize your code

How do I make a VI that contols a 6534 card take less time to load 1Mbyte and output data ?

Hello-
I'm developing a pattern generation burst mode type VI that reads byte characters from a text file, manipulates the bytes that it reads and then outputs the data from a 6534 card. The REQ1 pin is pulled high which makes the card continually output data until the internal buffer is empty. An internal clock is used. The problem is that the size of the file that is read by the VI can be relatively large, in the 1MByte range. After the VI manipulation, the output array is 16 times larger than the input string. So, when the VI reads a 1MByte text file, the output array contains 16 million entries (each array entry is 3 bits by the way). It takes about 20 seco
nds to run and output data from the 6534 even when reading files that are 200kbyte or so. I'm outputting the data at 5Mbps. I'm not sure where all the delay is coming from. Using the 'Profile VI" function under the 'Tools' menu shows a snapshot of time that really doesn't help me since it only shows that the time is spent in my VI. Is this just the result of loading large files ? Or, is there a way to preload the 1MByte file into the 32MB of RAM on the 6534 card before the VI is actually run. What I mean is that I do have the option in my system to have a time when all text files will somehow be loaded into the 6534 memory, during some initialization period, and then the VI would be run with the text file already loaded. This of course assumes that the delay is loading the file from the harddrive, but since the harddrive transfer speed is fast, I have no idea where to speed things up. Any ideas ? Thanks !

Your question actually belongs to the Measurement Devices >> Digital IO section since it concerns operating the 653x family of digital boards. You will see other related questions and answers there. In the future, please direct your digital questions to that forum.
If you are trying to profile your VI, you can break it into different pieces. For instance, you can make a subVI out of the file data manipulation.
Now, are you doing pattern generation or burst mode handshaking output? From your description of the signal connections, it looks like burst mode. You can double-check in the 653x User Manual at the http://www.ni.com/manuals pages. Still, it looks like you could accomplish your task with pattern generation. There are example VIs for both operations that
I suggest you start with. They are located in the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> Digital >> 653x.llb directory.
It also sounds like you are doing a single buffered operation, where you have a set amount of data that you want to output, and once done, the VI will stop. You are preloading the data to the buffer at DIO Write.vi before the 6534 actually outputs the data with DIO Start.vi when you program like the examples.
Thus, start with the appropriate example and then add the File I/O to it. You can even test with a smaller file to see the effects. You will also find useful information concerning the 6534 in the KnowledgeBase, particularly KnowledgeBase 298CGF9M "How Many Samples of Data Can I Store in the Onboard Memory of the NI 6534?". You can find this online by going to the http://www.ni.com/support and choosing KnowledgeBase from the Technical Resources pull-down menu. Then, type in keywords to search for, such as "6534".

How can I convert output data (string?) from GPIB-read to an 1D array?

Hello all,
I am reading a displayed waveform from my Tektronix Oscilloscope (TDS3032) via the GPIB Read VI. The format of the waveform data is: positive integer data-point representation with the most significant byte transferred first (2 bytes per data point).
The output data of GPIB-Read looks like a string(?) where the integer numbers and a sign like the euro-currency sign are seperated by spaces e.g. #5200004C3 4 4 4 4 3C3C3........ (C represents the euro-currency sign).
How can I convert this waveform data into a 1D/2D array of real double floatingpoint numbers (DBL) so I can handle the waveform data for data-analysis?
It would be very nice if someone know the solution for this.
t
hanks

Hi,
First of all, I'm assuming you are using LabVIEW.
The first you need to do is parse the string returned by the instrument. In this case you need to search for the known symbols in the string (like the euro sign) and chop the string to get the numeric strings. Here are some examples on parsing from www.ni.com:
Keyword Search: parsing
Once you parse the numeric strings you can use the "String/number conversion VIs" in the String pallette.
Hope this helps.

Output data type of NI 9225

How can I get the output data type of NI 9225 (300V rms module) module as waveform? By default it is coming as DBL and other datatype options are disabled.

The DAQmx read function is polymorphic. Right click and select Type then choose Single Channel Multisample waveform. Post your code if you can. If you are using the DAQ Assistant configure the from dynamic data type to be a waveform.

Outputting data using an NI breakout box

For some reason in LabVIEW 7, when trying to setup a VI to output data through an analogue channel, the channel selection only lets me select input channels. Has anybody any idea why this is? Or more importantly how to get round this simple but annoying problem. (Note my VIs work in LabVIEW 6).

A common factor people miss when getting this type of error is in the properties of the Daq channel name control. If it lists only the inputs, right click on the control, and select I/O name filtering. From here you will see that the analog input channels are only being displayed. depending on the type you want, select the correct type from the drop down box. The reason for this, is because of the VI type you would connect this control to. if it were an analog input VI (aquire n samples) you dont want the end user being able to select output channels to it.

Output data to txt file with full length of the field as in database

Hi
I have a problem related to output data I ntxt file on server
for eg
CONCATENATE
wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno
wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext
wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1
wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text SEPARATED BY ''.
the output is separated by single space irrespective of database length of the field , I want to display all the lenth of the database field eventhough the remaining space is blank ie if a field is 20 char in dtabase and only filled with 6 char the whole 20 char lenth should be displayed in the output file
ouput as below
required format ie space equvalent to as in database lenght
000001       700006               C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd.so on.
my format as coming single space in between only
000001 700006 C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd
pls suggest

For this maintain an work area with the fields and structure same as the one which you want.
ten populate the work are and write to file.
concatenate will not work.
e.g.
DATA: begin of wa_sagadr_text,
          seqno like wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno,
          bpext like wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext,
          name_org1 like wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1,
          country like wa_sagadr_outtab-country
          end of wa_sagadr_text,
clear wa_sagadr_text.
wa_sagadr_text-seqno = wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno.
wa_sagadr_text-bpext= wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext.
wa_sagadr_text-name_org1 = wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1.
wa_sagadr_text-country = wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text.
transfer wa_sagadr_text to outputfile
or write:/ your fields.

How to output data to a file in SCC-SG04?

I am using SCC-2345 with SCC-SG04 connected to NI-6221 in Windows 2000 in VC6.
How to output data to a file like data1.dat in VC6 or in Labwindows/CVI?

Hello mwibm,
If you just want to do file input/output in LabWindows/CVI, I would take a look at the Formatting and I/O CVI library or the ANSI File I/O functions. For example, if you just want to write an array of data to a file, I would look at the ArrayToFile function or the fwrite/fputs/fprintf ANSI C functions included in stdio.h. The ANSI C functions will also work in Visual Studio. More information on the LabWindows/CVI File I/O functions can be found in CVI help, and more information on ANSI C functions can be found in CVI Help and online at various websites.
Maybe you could further clarify what problems you are having and what kind of data you want to write to a file.
Thanks.

How to get the output data of Standard drill down report into z-program?

HI every one,
        I want to get the output data of drill down report into z-program.
       Actually,if the output is only one, I can get into z-program,
      But, Here the report consists 3 alv outputs. when double clicking function happens, it will direct to another alv output.
    Those, all the outputs of report i want to get into z-program.
PLease , give reply as early as possible.
Thank u in advance,
karthik

HI,
When i download,only one output i will get.
But,if i double-click the particular record it will show another output. I want that output also.
Like that,when i double-click particular record, it will show some other alv ouput based on record,
i wanted all those outputs.
If i copy the code, whether i face any problems?

Loading Labview Binary Data into Matlab

This post explains the Labview binary data format. I couldn't find all of this information in any one place so this ought to help anyone in the future. I didn't want to add any overhead in Labview so I did all of my conversion in Matlab.
The Labview VI "Write to Binary File" writes data to a file in a linear format using Big Endian numbers of the type wired into the "Write to Binary File" VI. The array dimensions are listed before the actual array data.
fid = fopen('BinaryData.bin','r','ieee-be'); % Open the binary file
Dim1 = fread(fid,4); % Reads the first dimension
Dim2 = fread(fid,4); % Reads the second dimension
Dim3 = ...
Each dimension's length is specified by 4 bytes. Each increment of the first, second, third, and fourth byte represent 2^32, 2^16, 2^8, and 1 respectively. 0 0 2 38 equates to 2*256 + 38 = 550 values for that particular dimension.
As long as you know the number of dimensions and precision of your binary data you can load it.
Data = fread(fid,prod([Dim1 Dim2 Dim3]),'double',0,'ieee-be'); % Load double precision data
If you have appended multiple arrays to the same file in Labview you would repeat this procedure. Load each dimension then load the data, repeat.
Data = fread(fid,prod([Dim1 Dim2 Dim3]),'int8',0,'ieee-be'); % Load int8 precision data or boolean data
I had to create a function for my own purposes so I thought I'd share it with everyone else too. I uploaded it to the Matlab File Exchange. The file is named labviewload.m.
This was tested on Matlab R2007a and Labview 8.2.

Thanks. I have the same questions as I tried to load labview binary data into Matlab.

Filter output data according to portal current user name in omni portlet

hello
i think you cannot use the portal built-in packages inside omni portlets. Omni portlets is designed to connect to other data source (not only oracle) and Portal API might not be available at these data sources. Therefore, you should not be using these Packages at all!. i tried very hard, but to no avail.. Omni portlet has its own repository!! if you cannot pass the infomration as a parameter, then find a different approach

This is because the Omniportlet is actually operating within a different context--a separate database connection from the Portal connection. We have similar issues with Java portlets. You might try creating a public parameter on the portlet, then mapping that to the system variable USER (done on the Parameters tab of the page where you deploy it--if you don't see a parameters tab, you must enable Parameters and Events at the page group properties level). I haven't tested any of this, but it should get you going in the right direction.
