NI-DAQmx Analog out to Cluster how to convert to individual array elements

I am trying to decompose the cluster that comes from a single channel multiple point anolog input capture. What you get is a cluster that has the starting time, the time interval between samples and the actual analog input data points. What I want to do is after capture I want to have access to the data so I can make calculations on it. When I am done I want to write the data to a spreadsheet file. I can't seem to get the cluster to array function to wire up. I have tried every possible combination of functions and I can't get them to wire up eventhough the input type is a cluster. I have posted a screen shot of my code below.
I can get this to work with raw data using the express vi that writes to spreadsheet but I would like to know how to do this manually as well.

You don't understand how dataflow works with LabVIEW and an understanding of this is essential. Dataflow means that a function does not execute until all of the data wired to it is present. In your second file, you create the date/time for the header in the second frame of the sequence structure, when the frame completes, it passes out of the structure to the concantanate string function. This is then wired to the Write Characters to File Function which will now execute because all the data inputs are present. This is set to create a new file so it is executing after the Write to Spreadsheet File which is inside the sequence structure. You do not need the sequence structure at all. You do need to provide some dataflow between the Write Characters and the Write to Spreadsheet File. Here's a bit cleaner example of your code.

How to convert arraylist into array

how to convert arraylist into array?

If you are using generics, I would use this version of toArray:
List < X > list = ...
X[] array = list.toArray(new X[list.size()]);If you are not using generics, that same thing looks like:
List list = ...
X[] array = (X[]) list.toArray(new X[list.size()]);

6025e daqmx analog out then input

I have a 6025E card and I am trying to output a triangle wave on ao0 and read it back on ai1. it used to work until i added three more analog inputs then i get buffer errors. I tried changing the analog out to interrupts but it says that property is invalid. i went into MAX and output a sine wave on ao0 and when i read it back into ai1 in the test panels i a sine wave with a bunch of steps. Is something wrong with my card? i tried to reset it with no luck. I even tried the shipping examples and get property invalid on the interrupt and it doesn't like the sample clock?
any suggestions ?

Hey James,
Is there a particular reason you are want use interupts? DMAs are generally much faster. If you are getting buffer errors, try increasing the size of the buffer using the DAQmx Configure Output Buffer.
Let me know if that works for you.

How to convert a 2D array of pixels in to a grayscale planar image

Im having following problems, I hope someone may help me.
1. I want to convert a 2D array of pixels (Grayscale values) into a Grayscale PlannerImage. I tried the following code I found on net.
The steps to do this are:
-Construct a DataBuffer from your data array.
-Construct a SampleModel describing the data layout.
-Construct a Raster from the DataBuffer and SampleModel. You can use methods from the RasterFactory class to do this.
-Construct a ColorModel which describes your data. The factory method PlanarImage.createColorModel(sampleModel) will take care of this for some common cases.
-Construct a TiledImage with the SampleModel and ColorModel.
-Populate the TiledImage with your data by using the TiledImage.setData() method to copy your raster into the TiledImage.
Only the last step involves any actual processing. The rest is just object creation.
public static RenderedImage createRenderedImage(float[][] theData, int width, int height, int numBands) {
int len = width * height * numBands;
Point origin = new Point(0,0);
// create a float sample model
SampleModel sampleModel =
RasterFactory.createBandedSampleModel(DataBuffer.TYPE_FLOAT,width,height,numBands);
// create a compatible ColorModel
ColorModel colourModel = PlanarImage.createColorModel(sampleModel);
// create a TiledImage using the float SampleModel
TiledImage tiledImage = new TiledImage(origin,sampleModel,width,height);
// create a DataBuffer from the float[][] array
DataBufferFloat dataBuffer = new DataBufferFloat(theData, len);
// create a Raster
Raster raster = RasterFactory.createWritableRaster(sampleModel,dataBuffer,origin);
// set the TiledImage data to that of the Raster
tiledImage.setData(raster);
RenderedImageAdapter img = new RenderedImageAdapter((RenderedImage)tiledImage);
return img;
I passed it 2D array of pixels with 3 bands, and it gave an exception >>Array index out of bounds at this line >>tiledImage.setData(raster). Then I tried it with a 1D array of length height*width with a single band. So Now it gives me a monochromatic RenderedImage. How can I make it a grayscale PlanarImage.

jyang, thank you very much for your response. I believe I found a different solution all together, by converting each 16-bit intensity value into an 8-bit intensity value via an intensity ratio (ie: divide each intensity by the maximum and multiply by 256). The attachment shows the new program.

How can I set the caption text of picture controls inside an array or how can I choose which array element is assigned using the array elements caption text property.

I have 8 picture controls inside an array and I would like to set the caption text of these controls.
I have used the property node of the array and used the array elements property caption text to set the text.
The problem is however that I set the same text to all the picture controls inside the array.
My question is how to set caption text of specific elements (Picture control) that I have so far only been able to access using the array elements caption text property.

Some more help
1 You could use the caption of the array and place it in front of the selected picture and update that using property nodes.
2 Like Norbett said if you use a cluster of pictures then their caption can be updated individually.
Here is a an example that demonstrates the above

How to convert image to array pixel values in java

I would like to know how to convert image into arrary of pixels in java ?
which API should i use ?
please give me link to a sample program !

I find the most efficient way to just walk over the image and call getRGB(x,y) on every pixel, more so than Pixelgrabber. If someone knows a more efficient way, give me a beep.

How to change value of array element using property node

hello all : )
im using an array of combo-box. the size of array is not fixed.
i want to use the strings[ ] property of combo-box to enter selection texts but since i have placed it inside the array im unable to use this property.
i used 'arrayelem' reference property and connected property node to it but didnt got strings [ ] in the selection.
so is there any way i can use the strings [ ] property
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the picture what I posted is a snippet. It is a png file which also contains a vi:

It might help...
hmm, it is more complicated as I thought )
edit: just to be CLEAR: so you want to create a new selection LIST for each of the array elements (comboboxes)) OR you just want to set all the comboboxes to a particular value which is ALREADY in the combobox list??

How to convert an int array to string array?

Hi,
Can anyone please help me with this question?
int number={4,6,45,3,2,77};
I like to convert this into a list and sort
List mylist = Arrays.asList(number);
Collections.sort(mylist);
But first I need to convert the int array to String array.
Please advise. Thanks.

If you want to convert your int array to a String array, you have no choice but doing a conversion element by element in a for loop.
However, if the sort method doesn't behave as desired, you can use the one with 2 parameters, the second parameter being a comparator class.
Check the javadoc for more information : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/Collections.html

Does any one out there know how to convert an ascii file(which is generated from PL/SQL script) into a .dbf (dBaseIII) file type? Thanks in advance.

I haven't worked with dBase for about 20 years, but I seem to recall it having an IMPORT command for that purpose. But maybe I'm wrong...

How to modify array elements from a separate class?

I am trying to modify array elements in a class which populates these fields by reading in a text file. I have got mutator methods to modify the array elements and they work fine in the same class.
public class Outlet {
     private Outlet[] outlet;
     private String outletName;
     private int phoneNumber;
     private int category;
     private int operatingDays;
static final int DEFAULT = 99;
     public void setPhoneNumber(int newPhoneNumber) {
          phoneNumber = newPhoneNumber;
     public void setCategory(int newCategory) {
          category = newCategory;
     public void setOperatingDays(int newOperatingDays) {
          operatingDays = newOperatingDays;
public static void readFile(Outlet[] outlet) throws FileNotFoundException {
          Scanner inFile = new Scanner(new FileReader("outlets.txt"));
          int rowNo = 0;
          int i = 0;
          String outletValue;
          while (inFile.hasNext() && rowNo < MAXOUTLETS) {
               outlet[rowNo] = new Outlet();
               outletValue = inFile.nextLine();
               outlet[rowNo].setOutletName(outletValue.toUpperCase());
               outlet[rowNo].setPhoneNumber(DEFAULT);
               outlet[rowNo].setCategory(DEFAULT);
               outlet[rowNo].setOperatingDays(DEFAULT);
          inFile.close();
     public static void displayUnassignedOutlets(Outlet[] outlet) {
          int i = 0;
          System.out.println("Showing all unassigned Outlets");
          System.out.println(STARS);
          for (i = 0; i < MAXOUTLETS; i++ ) {
               if (outlet.getCategory() == DEFAULT) {
               System.out.println("\nOutlet Number: " + (i + 1) + "\t" +
                         outlet[i].getOutletName());
Now in the other class that I want to modify the array elements I use the following code but I get an error that "The expression type must be an array but a Class ' Outlet' is resolved".
So how can I modify the array elements? What do I have to instantiate to get the following code to work?
public class Franchise {
     private Franchise[] franchise;
     public Outlet[] outlet;

Read spreadsheet file for Analog Out Profile using DAQmx

I am trying to read a .txt file in, then output the Analog out profile (Daqmx) vs. time. The first column is time is (ms) in .001 sec increments. The second column is the Analog out voltage I want to output. I want to read the profile in, and ouput the a Analog out voltage incrementing in .001 sec intervals (or whatever the time increments are in the .txt file). The problem I am having is, it reads in the whole file and outputs it in a fraction of a sec, instead of incrementing by the time. I attached a screen shot of what I have. Any help would be great. Thanks

You are reading the timing but not doing anything with it. You've specified Analog Wfm 1Chan NSamp for the DAQmx Write but you did not create the waveform data type. Use the Build Waveform function on the Waveform palette and wire in your array to the Y (waveform component) input and the time interval to the dt input.

How can I generate tones with usb 6008 using analog out?... tia sal2

Greetings All
I've been looking at the example Sim Phone.vi that comes with labview and would like to generate similar tones out of our usb 6008 device. I can get a very faint sound out of our usb 6008 using the example Gen Multi Volt Updates-SW Timed.vi Does anyone know the best way to alter Sim Phone.vi to have the sound come out of the Analog output of our usb 6008 device. ( I have a small speaker connected to the Analog out on our USB 6008)
PS: we are using labview 7.1
Does anyone know the Analog output frequency range of the usb-6008? Is this possible?
TIA

Gen Mult Volt Updates-SW Timed.vi ‏78 KB

Hi sal2,
As stated earlier you could most certainly use the USB device to generate sound, but that would be at a max update rate of 150 Hz. While according to Nyquist theorem you could get frequency information for signals below 75 Hz, you may notice that the quality of the data in that spectrum to be very low due to having so few samples.
While technically possible to produce you really should look for a device with a faster Analog Output update rate. I would look for a device that supports Analog Output at least 10x the maximum frequency that you want the user to hear. Some great, yet lower cost products, would be the M-Series line of products. They would give you the performance that is really needed in the type of application that you are talking about.
If you still want to use the USB Device, then you would need to use code similar to that found in the example Gen Mult Volt Updates-SW Timed (Found here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\daqmxbase\Dynamic\ao).
Best of luck getting your system together,

How to drive Analog Out For Hbm MX879

Hello,
I use labview with Hbm 879 Module. I try to drive an analog out directly from labview. I can't find any Vi for this in the Hbm library. I asked directly to hbm but such vi are not developped and there is no ETA.
Does someone have done this kind of feature on hbm analog output and can share his vi ?
Thank's.
Jacques

Hello,
I didn't find this instrument driver on the third party driver page :http://www.ni.com/downloads/instrument-drivers/f/
If this material support SCPI command (like *idn?) may be you can try to send those command directly with VISA functions. Also may be the commands are given in the user manual of the HBM 879.
Best regards
