Need help : Reading from DAQ through TCP/IP ?!!

Hello
I have two machines running labview connected to a network. Basically,
I want to read data from a temperature sensor through a DAQ card
from one machine, and be able to plot the data in a chart in the
other machine. I'm trying to use TCP/IP feature to do that but it's not
working.
There is a VI in the tcp.lib "simple data client.vi " and
"simple data server.vi" that does the same thing except that
the data are of type double generated from a sine function and
a random number generator. So i tried to do the same but since
the data read from the DAQ has a thick brown line (not sure what
type) the task was not easy. In the server part i tried to broadcast
3 things through (tcp write.vi): The type of the data, the l
ength of the
string, and the data itself. On the client side i read (tcp read.vi)
these things and plot the data. But i'm not getting any output on the chart.
I had to use (Type Cast), (flatten to string) and (unfatten from string)
in order to get the right wiring. Both VIs run but there is no output
on the chart.
I know it's hard to explain in words, but if anyone is interested i can
give more detai or send the vis to him to look at them. They seem very simple and
straight forward but i don't know why they don't work.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Sami

Try running the "Remote Device Access Server" (RDA) on hte machine that has the DAQ card in it. You'll find it in NI-DAQ folder under National Instruments in your Start Menu. (guessing you're running Windows here?)
With this running, you can start MAX on any machine on the network and access and configure the DAQ cards in the remote machine and program an applicaiton just as if the DAQ cards were local. You'll need to know either the remote machines IP address or network name.
I've used it quite a bit and have never had a problem. The Help inside MAX gives good details on how to set it up and use it.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

If you are not sure of what you are doing,If you are worried about losing anything when doing a major systems upgrade/update,
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Older version of CarbonCopyCloner found here.

Older versions of SuperDuper can be found on the SuperDuper Website and Homepage.

Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.

Need help reading files from a simple applet

hi everyone,
i have the following problem while trying to read from a file:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission dr.xml read)
this problem shows up only when loading applet from a browser... if i use appletviewer everithing is ok.
this is the code:
        cycle = new String[2];
        phase = new String[8];
        v = new Vector();
        int temp;
        try {
            try {
                fis = new FileInputStream("dr.xml");
                while ((temp = fis.read()) > 0) {
                    buf += (char) temp;
                fis.close();
                fis = null;
            } catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException ex) {
                System.out.println("File does not exist. ");
        } catch (java.io.IOException ex) {
            System.out.println("error. ");
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }thanks

You don't have access to the file system. Think about it, you visit a web page and an applet starts reading your files? That's a HUGE security risk.
That said, I think you can do this if you have a signed/trusted applet. Google "signed applets" and "certificates"

How to read from DAQ in different time intervals

Hello,
I am currently using LabVIEW 2010. I am new to LabView.
I have 9 thermocouples I want to record the temperature from and create a graph.
For one graph I want to graph the data every second for the duration of about 1.25 hours. For the other I want to record and graph the data every 2 minutes for a duration of 30 minutes. The temperature then would be ramped up in an oven and set to a higher temperature. When it is stabilized, recording of the data again will begin again at intervals of 2 minutes for the duration of 30 minutes.
The first is only to see the real time temperature variation while the program is recording and running. The second graph and data is what I will use to analyze.
What I need help in is finding out how you can read from the DAQmx at two different time intervals. I tried two parallel loops with each one graphing the two separate graphs I need with a delay time. Those two parallel loops where then surrounded by another while loop. The result is that the outside loop waits until both loops are finished so I do not get the correct results for the real time data graph.
Is there a way to call on the DAQ data you need at the time interval you desire? Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thank you for your time and help.

You are on the right track. Sample the data at the fastest rate and send it to the 1st graph. For the slower graph, take a sample from the faster data at your desired time interval. You could use a timer and a case structure for something quick and easy and still have everything run in the same loop. You could use two loops running at different speeds, it is just a little more involved and a few other things to consider.

Need help in uninstalling driver through inf

Hi,
I need help in removing files, deleting service from INF when the device is getting uninstalled through the device manager.
In my INF file i have the following section to add service and copy files during installation.
[XYZ.NTAMD64]
CopyFiles=Driver_Copy_Files, Service_Copy_Files
[Driver_Copy_Files]
myDriver.sys,,,2
[Service_Copy_Files]
myservice.exe,,,2
[XYZ.NTAMD64.Services]
AddService = %Service.Name%, 0, Service_Inst
Installation working fine, service is created and files are copied to the specified folder.
I have the following section for uninstall. Basically i wanted to delete the service and driver files when uninstalling. But it is not happening. I suspect problem may be with the section name
[XYZ.NTAMD64.Remove.Services]
DelService = %Service.Name%,0x200
[XYZ.NTAMD64.Remove]
DelFiles = Driver_Copy_Files, Service_Copy_Files
Please help me on this.

Need help in converting DAQ to DAQmx

Hi,
I've struggled with coverting traditional DAQ to DAQmx for two weeks. I really need help from someone.
As you can see the picture below, I've tried to replace the old VI's with new ones. But, it doesn't work. Of course, the VI below is just a part of my VI. VI's after case structure are inside of while loop.
Could you please give me thought that why it doesn't work?
FYI: The strange thing about it is that it runs without any error messege, but there is no actual output (values on the graph, data in arrays, etc).
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Assuming that the Traditional DAQ and DAQmx code are screenshots from separate VIs, I believe that the following parameter of the read functions in each driver would account for the different behavior that you are seeing (you have both set to -1):
Traditional DAQ:
DAQmx:
So, when you give DAQmx Read a -1 for "number of samples per channel" when running a Continuous task, the effect is that it will return whatever data is available at the time DAQmx Read is called. In your case this is immediately after the task is started so there very well could be 0 samples available in the buffer. I'd imagine that you would see data if you change the value of this parameter from -1 to the actual number of samples that you want to read.
Having said this, if you want to acquire continuously you should call DAQmx Read from inside a loop. I agree with the others that you should take a look at the DAQmx shipping examples to help get started, you will probably find something very close to what you want to do. You can find the examples at:
Help >> Find Examples... >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx
Thanks for posting, I hope this helps!

I need help, and its very simple:
How do i read the URL of a web page?
For example, the URL of this page is:

So how can i be able to read in this URL in my java program?
thanks SO MUCH
P.S. I HAVE searched the java docs and everything, the closest thing i found was request.getRequestURL().? but i have no idea how to use it. you have NO IDEA how appreciative i would be if you could simply show me exactly how to read in the URL of a given page.
thanks SO MUCH

Going by what I understand here is a simple version of how you can read data from over HTTP.
This expects the "page" to be text (hence an InputStreamReader instead of an InputStream.)

Can someone test a prog for me, and help reading from an exty file

Okay, I have a program to calculate the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_correlation_coefficient ) from an external file that I've just written for an assignment on Monday.
I can't actually run it because I can't find a machine with Java on that works, though I can compile it. Why is a long story, but University Admin are going to feel my wrath.
I would like two things.
1) would someone be kind enough to try to run it and test it in anyway and report any bugs or inadequacies back to me. (you will need to create a text file called data.dat with some numbers in, e.g.
14.234 54.4534
376.56 432.2332
23432. 23234.23
2) How can I can the computer to ask the user to enter either a) the name of the file from system.in or b) from a popup dialogue box with a browse feature (or is that incompatible with some OSs?).
The file follows:
// Import packages
     import java.io.*; // Import all the Java input/output packages
     import java.util.StringTokenizer; // Import a utility package
class Pearsontwo
public static void main (String[] args)
     /* Define variables.
          (double any number with decimal point.
          ints take integer value) */
          double     sumx, sumy,               // sum of x and sum of y
                    sumxx, sumyy,          // sum of x squared and y squared
                    sumxy;                    // sum of products of x and y
          int n;                              // n is number of lines
     // Set name of file to be read
          String fileName = data.dat; // define the name of the file
     //     (Enhancement: use user input. This requires the use of System.in which is a bit complicated.
          //System.out.print("Please type the name of the file you wish to run the analysis on:");
          //fileName = TextIO.getInt();
     // Set things for reading external file
BufferedReader br;     // Will be used to read the file
String line;          // Will be used to hold a line read from the file
StringTokenizer st; // Will be used to break a line into separate words
          String firstWord, secondWord;     // File will be read as string type
double firstNumber, secondNumber;     // that need to be converted into numbers.
try // if an error occurs, go to the "catch" block below
// Create a buffered file reader for the file
     br = new BufferedReader (new FileReader(fileName));
// Continue to read lines whilst there is one or more left to read
                    while (br.ready())
                    {   line= br.readLine();               // Read one line of the file
                         st = new StringTokenizer(line);     // Prepare to split the line into "words"
                         // Get the first two words (invalid --> error --> catch)
                              firstWord = st.nextToken();
                              secondWord = st.nextToken();
                         // Turn words into numbers (invalid --> error --> catch)
                              firstNumber = Double.parseDouble(firstWord);
                              secondNumber = Double.parseDouble(secondWord);
                         // Add the numbers to the previously stored numbers
                              sumx = sumx + firstNumber;
                              sumy = sumy + secondNumber;
                              sumxx = sumxx + (firstNumber * firstNumber);
                              sumyy = sumyy + (secondNumber * secondNumber);
                              n = n++; add one to the value of n.
// Close the file
br.close();
// Handle any error in opening the file
               catch (Exception e)
               {   System.err.println("File input error.\nPlease amend the file " + fileName);
          //     Calcuate r in stages, variance and covariance first.
               double variancex = (sumx2 - (sumx * sumx / n)) / (n - 1);     // calculates the variance of x ...
               double variancey = (sumx2 - (sumx * sumx / n)) / (n - 1);     // ... and y
               double covariance = (sumx * sumy - sumx * sumy / n ) / (n - 1);     // and the covariance of x and y
               double r = covariance / Math.sqrt(variancex * variancey);     // and the Pearson r value
               // Printout

"I can't actually run it because I can't find a machine with Java on that works, though I can compile it. Why is a long story, but University Admin are going to feel my wrath."
I'm sure they're worried.
I don't understand this. You can compile, but not run? This makes no sense at all.
Why can't you simply download the JDK from Sun and install it on a machine? You could both compile and run then.
You don't need a pop-up dialog box to get an input file name from a user. The command prompt is quite sufficient.

Need help changing from CC package to Photoshop only

I purchased CC membership for one year in December 2013. As I hardly ever need InDesign or Illustrator, I would like to change my order to Photoshop (and Lightroom) only. I find managing my account online very confusing. Is there a number I could call? Or some other way to get rid of the software I don't need, and that I did not re-order after my one-year membership was over?

Seriously need help but cant get through via phone

I am seriously needing help spend almost all week chatting with verizon via my verizon however nobody could come up with an answer for my problem it seems that I have been locked out of using the online payment option and the lady says it does not show that on her end I need this addressed asap but the lines have been down for days according to the store I just spoke with. is there someone in finance or billing that could call me? I have several things I am trying to do 1. add an account manager 2. make a payment arrangement for a week out ( I normally do this as my payday falls odd) 3. gain access to online payments

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

The last line is optional, but please do substitute those values for the ones that you use.
As far as a default route goes, just edit /etc/defaultrouter (may not exist) and put the ip of your default gw on a single line.

Streaming data to disk, need help reading data into Power Spectrum/Octave vi

I'm streaming data to disk in one loop, however once this finishes I'd like to read the data into power spectrum vi/Octave analysis vi in another loop. The data from the read vi is a string and power spectrum vi needs 1d waveform. Does anyone have experience with this process?

From your general description, I gather you are streaming to a text based file (comma or tab separated spreadsheet format) and would like to analyse this data with a power spectrum or octave analysis when you finish. Since you are streaming, I assume you have a lot of data. Do you have more than one channel?
In any case, you have two simple options (and lots of complex ones). You can either read the data back from disk and convert it to a 1D array (try the Read From Spreadsheet File.vi - will get a 2D array, take the first column or the column of your choice if you have more than one channel) or you can use the Spreadsheet String to Array primitive to create an array from your text data before you save it to disk.
If your data rate is slow enough, you can analyze as you acquire and store.
Taking your data as text is very inefficient. What you really want to do is read the data as binary, use that for your analysis, and use something like the Write to Spreadsheet File.vi to save text data to disk.
