Measured data frm labview to be saved in a databank

Hello again.. I hope I am in the right forum to be asking this.. Im working with another project which requires me to use LabView software (apart from the other project about welding process)..
This project is a bout solar cell which will give me certain current and voltage values according to certain irradiation... So far, the measured data are presented and saved as excel file..
However, i need to do another backup concept, to make sure that the measured datas obtained are saved in another way in to make sure it wont be lost.. (i hope my explanation makes sense..:-s) ..
My question is, is it posible to save the measured data in a LabView Databank??
Thanks..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For the photovoltaic modules test, i will run the program using LabView software.. For each test done, it will give me a results which is presented in an excel data.. (Like attached below).. However, i will run more than 1 test on this module.. 
So my question is, how do i save all these results together in one databank/ database.. is there a way? :-s im an IT Blind so hope my question make sense..

  • How can I collect and record data in LabVIEW from Sensirion Temperature/Humidity Sensor connected to myRIO?

    The product documentation of the sensor and the datasheet is attached. Also Digilent MXP Breadboard's image is attached.
    I've connected the sensor to myRIO using the starter kit's MXP breadboard: http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,842,1216&Prod=MXP-BB
    The output of the sensor is in digital. My initial goal is to get digital output in form of 8 or 12 or 14 bits and then convert them to decimal numbers and record them.
    Pin 1 of sensor is Data, which is connected to myRIO's connector A, DIO1 pin 13.
    Pin 3 of sensor is Clock, which is connected to myRIO's connector B DIO5/SPI.CLK pin 21. According to the datasheet of the sensor, if VDD < 4.5V then Clock should be set to 1MHz.
    Pin 4 of sensor is Ground, which is connected to Digilent MXP Breadboard GND pin.
    Pin 8 of sensor is VDD, which is connected to Digilent MXP Breadboard +3.3V pin. Supply voltage range is 2.4-5.5V and recommended voltage is 3.3V.
    I need to be able to send the following commands to the sensor from LabVIEW.
    Measure temperature: 00000011
    Measure relative humidity: 00000101
    Then, myRIO has to wait for maximum 20 milliseconds (ms) for 8-bit measurement, 80 ms for 12-bit measurement, and 320 ms for 14-bit measurement.
    Two bytes of measurement data will then be transmitted. myRIO as microcontroller must acknowledge each byte by pulling the DATA line (pin 13) low. All values are Most Significant Bit (MSB) first. Note that for 8-bit result, the first byte is not used. Finally, myRIO has to terminate the communication after the measurement data Least Significant Bit (LSB) has been received by keeping ACK bit, which is the LSB bit, as high.

  • Sychronize AO/AI buffered data graph and measure data more than buffer size

    I am trying to measure the response time (around 1ms) of the pressure drop indicated by AI channel 0 when the AO channel 0 gives a negetive single pulse to the unit under test (valve). DAQ board: Keithley KPCI-3108, LabView Version: 6.1, OS system: Win2000 professional.
    My problem is I am getting different timed graph between the AI and AO channels every time I run my program, except the first time I can get real time graph. I tried to decrease the buffer size less than the max buffer size of the DAQ board (2048 samples), but it still does unreal time graph from AI channel, seems it was still reading from old data in the buffer when AO writes the new buffer data, that is my guessing. In my p
    rogram, the AO and AI part is seperated, AO Write buffer is in a while loop while AI read is not. Would that be a problem? Or it's something else?
    Also, I am trying to measure data much larger than the board buffer size limit. Is it possible to make the measurement by modifying the program?
    I really appreciate any of your help. Thank you very much!
    Best,
    Jenna

    Jenna,
    You can modify the X-axis of a chart/graph in LabVIEW to display real-time. I have included a link below to an example program that illustrates how to do this.
    If you are doing a finite, buffered acquisition make sure that you are always reading everything from the buffer for each run. In other words, If you set a buffer size of 5000, then make sure you are reading 5000 scans (set number of scans to read to 5000). This will assure you are reading new data every time you run you program. You could always put the AI Read VI within a loop and read a smaller number from the buffer until the buffer is empty (monitor the scan backlog output of the AI Read VI to see how many scans are left in the buffer).
    You can set a buffer size larger than the FIFO
    buffer of the hardware. The buffer size you set in LabVIEW is actually a software buffer size within your computer's memory. The data is acquired with the hardware, stored temporarily within the on-board FIFO, transferred to the software buffer, and then read in LabVIEW.
    Are you trying to create a TTL square wave with the analog output of the DAQ device? If so, the DAQ device has counters that can generate a highly accurate digital pulse as well. Just a suggestion. LabVIEW has a variety of shipping examples that are geared toward using counters (find examples>>DAQ>>counters). I hope this helps.

  • How to get the measurement data from IMU using SBRIO through SPI?

    Hi All,
    I’am trying to use the SPI communication protocol to realize the bridge between my Vectornav VN100 IMU chip and the LABView through the SBRIO 9602. I amended the SPI sample code from NI website based on my own device and configuration. It compiled and ran well. The problem is the IMU we are using need a 16 bytes command and it will give back a response containing the measurement data. But it seems that with the code I have, I can only send an at most 32 bits command once. Hope anyone who has experience in IMU implementation on LABView could give me some help! Thanks a lot!
    Nick

    Kyle,
    Thank you very much!
    I attached the amended program and the Manual Sheet of the IMU I am using.
    Since I only need to one port, I just amended the configuration for port 1 and adjusted the code for my device. 
    I think the problem exist in the data sending mechanism, you can check the requirement out in P12 and P13 of the manual sheet.
    Best Regards!

  • How to group measurement data into different groups using TDMs

    Hi, frnds!
    I have designed a labview program for measuring the power current characteristics of a laser diode. I want to save the current and power arrays measured at different temperatures in different groups. I tried to implement this but I was not successful. The current and power measurements at different temperatures are being saved only in the first group and the rest are being empty! Please help me save the measurements in different temperature groups.
    I need this urgently!
    Thanks in advance!
    Kumar

    Perhaps a snippet of the code you are using would help. When you write to the TDMS file with the low level functions, you just need to specify the separate group names. Have you read over  the NI TDMS File Format, Introduction to LabVIEW TDM Streaming VIs, and Writing TDM and TDMS files articles? Have you tried any examples out of the Example Finder?

    Where in the code are you reading from the Excel Spreadsheet? What VIs are you using? What are the problems are you experiencing (errors, unexpected values, etc.)?
    There is a Read From Spreadsheet File.vi in LabVIEW. LabVIEW uses ActiveX controls for .xlsx files, so saving the spreadsheet as a CSV file may be better for this VI. Try it out! See what happens.
    Here some more info on reading from spreadsheets:

  • Measurement data and problem with path selection

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the measurement data function; My instrument is the "Hyoki 3532-50 LCR meter".
    I´m tring to save the data in a text file using the "write to measurement file VI" . From the instrument i receive an array containing the data of the measure and then i use a for loop to obtain the single data obtainig the dynamic data necessary like input in the VI function. 
    The problem is that i receive ( for example) the Rp data and the Cp data in two separate moment and the result using the VI is something like
    1      56
    2      68
    3      95
    1      0,12
    2      0,30
    3      0,56
    (this is a stupid example to explain my situation)
    What i would like to obtain is 
    1      56   0,12
    2      68   0,30
    3      95   0,56
    The fact that i can+t receive all the three dynamic data in the same moment present also the problem that i don´t have the possibility to save in a different file every time i start the measure but to do it i have to reset the labview program ( this is due to the fact that in the property  i select "ask only once" because otherwise if i select " ask at each iteration" the second data flow overwrite the file) .
    If you need some image from code i can provide them 

    You really need to attach some code. We are graphical programmers and don't undestand longwinded text explanation
    Also the code images you attached earlier are useless. The abundance of local variables, stacked sequences, express VIs, and dead code make them impossible to debug by looking at a picture.

    I am setting up the measurement using vector network analyzer (VNA) E5071B controlled by NI 488.2. How can I read the trace data into LabVIEW and display on the graph? If anyone having an idea or know well about this process please give me the suggestion, I will much appreciate it.
    Many Thanks

    You want to start with the driver
     In case you do not know it, you can do the driver search in LabVIEW from Tools>Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers. You might also want to bookmark the Instrument Driver Network for information on what a driver is and how to use it.

  • Output data from LabVIEW, input to C++ code

    I currently have a LabVIEW VI which grabs data (range and angle measurements) from the RS232 serial port, and formats this data into two values - X and Y coordinates (double data types).  What I want to do is pass these individual numerical values (not an array of X/Y coordinates) to a C++ gesture recognition program that inputs X and Y coordinates and determines the gestures.
    What is the best way of passing a value from LabVIEW to C++ code?
    I apologize if this was answered in another thread - I searched through some, but couldn't find any information relevant to my question.  Thanks for the help!

    You may want to build a DLL.  A DLL is like a collection of functions - compiled in a way to be used by other programs.
    If the C++ code calls a LabVIEW function which returns values to the C++ code, then the LabVIEW code will be compiled as a DLL.
    C++ code could also be compiled into a DLL usable by LabVIEW.
    There are also ways for separate applications to share data - LabVIEW can be an ActiveX server, LabVIEW also supports DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)  - these are both Windows-OS-specific.  LabVIEW can be a .NET client, though (as far as I know) LabVIEW cannot yet implement a .NET server.
    TCPIP is yet another (OS independent) method of sharing data between LabVIEW and another application - it's really not too complicated (at least not on the LabVIEW side .)
    Are there two applications running (C++ + LabVIEW)?  If not, in which language is the main program written in?
    Cheers!

  • Wrinting measured data to excel

    hello
    i am new to labview. as my task is to send the measured data to excel sheet. can anyone post me simple example vi that links to excel sheet.
    for example temperature readings w.r.t time
    thanq

    Hi kumar,
    -use "Write to Spreadsheet File" to save your data as CSV-file (which Excel can open easily).
    -use "Write Measurement Data" to save a TDM(S)-file, an Excel plugin to load these comes with your LabVIEW installation
    -use the ReportGeneratioToolkit to write "real" Excel files
    -use the VIs commonly found here in the forum to access Excel via ActiveX
    All of the mentioned possibilities have example VIs, which are accessible with the ExampleFinder of your LabVIEW installation...

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
    I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
    I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
    Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
    2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
    3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

  • Can we call LabVIEW VI's (saved at shared location say server)from two different test stations?

    Hello All,
    My question is related to calling and execution of LabVIEW Vis  from two or more different teststation(Test System) using NI TestStand.
    Following are some definitions to understand the question better
    A Test Station:is a independent sytem.different instruments(Multimeter,Function generator etc) are connected to this Station.Teststaion using NI TestStand for Test managment.
    A LabVIEW :LabVIEW vis are saved at share location(server).These vis are responsible for communicating with different instruments connected to TestStation.
    Execution:TestStand calls these Vis in sequene to perform particular test.
    My query is to know ....Can we call and execute shared labVIEW vis from two or more TestStation simulatneously and cummunicate with connected instrument on each teststation.
    Is there any possiblity of conflict as using same vis but on different station?
    My concern is to avoid duplicacy of similar vis.Is there any better option to implement the same concern?
    Thanks in advance

    I suggest you to try adding the shared vi to the labview project(.lvproj) running in same or different stations which is connected to the instrument. Adding the vi to a project will open it in the project instance instead of default application instance. Hence there won't be any conflict in execution.
