Parse fieldpoint IAK file -- get channel names and ranges?

Hello,
I am looking for a way to read the fieldpoint channel names in their real order (not sorted) _and_ their corresponding range settings from an IAK file. Hardware is a FP-1001 network module connected via RS485 and a handful of AI-110s and AO-210s.
Has anyone found a way to do so yet?
Tried the FP get configuration info VI without succes, it sorts the channel names alphabetically. Edited the VI (threw out the sort array funktion), but no success: Channels now are mixed in no sensible way (the documentation confirms this behavior).
For the ranges, I've looked at the optomux !E, but a) it needs a FP ressource connected (can't work offline this way), and b) I have no clue yet of how to match these ranges with the well-mixed channel names :-(
Maybe someone here can help?
Yours, sincerely,
Sebastian F. Kleinau

Hi,
Please take a look at the following knowledgebase:FP Get Configuration Info.vi Returns Values in a Different Order
I think this is what you are looking for.

How to Get Channel Name in Adapter Engine Alerts

Hi All,
I am using 'Alrtcatdef' and 'Rules' in RWB to generate Adapater Engine Alerts. I am aware of the standard containers that are available to compose Alert Email content.
Is there a way I can read the Channel Name(and NOT Adapter type i.e Idoc, File) that errors out, in the email content.
Channel Name is the name of the channel I proivde in Integration Directory.
Thanks,
Xier

The above requirement could have been done with custom alert container variables ..... but defining custom alert container seems not possible.
Workaround:
When you run a scenario we have a fixed set of channel(s).....sender (optional) and receiver ..... an error in the sender channel goes back to the sending application and hence XI support personnel is excluded from it.....so now what remains is the receiver channel.
So if your requirement is to include channel name for one (or few) of the scenarios then include it in the Alert message that you set in the ALRTCATDEF ..... i.e. hard-code it ...... wont be a good approach if you have to implement the same logic for all the scenarios.....
Suggested the above approach thinking it is not possible to build custom container ..... if there is a way to do it then please even let me know.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Recently I have been getting this error message when I try to record an audio track in Logic... "File with specified name and version number already exists. Result code = -48." WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?????? It's making me furious!

Hi
As the message says, there is a file at the recording directory that has the same name:

Manipulating the outputs of the Get Channel Names.VI version 5.1

Using the get Channel Name VI. I get two arrays. One array lists the channel names acquired from the measurement and automation utility and the second array lists the accompanied units of those channels. The problem is in the order of channels listed. The VI sorts the array by date the channel was created in the measurement and automation utility. When I resort the channels in alpha numberic order I want to keep the units associated with their correct channels. How can this be done. Or can the get channel names.vi be modified to sort alpha numberically while outputing the correct units associated with those channels.

Here's something to try (Sort 2D array ala index and bundle cluster array):

You just need to remove the indexing portion and directly feed in the names to the upper terminal of the index/cluster array and units to the bottom.

1. Double click on your composite receive activity.
2. Go to Properties tab in your receive activity.
3. Click "+".
4. Window that pops up,scroll down and select "jca.ums.from" and store it in some variable say fromAddress (Make sure before adding this property u create fromAddress variable of string data type).
5. Click OK.
6. In the same way add property for "jca.ums.msg.content-description" from drop down and assing it to some variable.
you are good to go.
Hope this helps.

How do I get channel names written into a logged ascii file in Signal Express

Hi there,
This maybe a rookie question but I am a relative rookie to this software, and I hope it has an easy fix!
Background:
Take a load of analogue inputs from a DAQ device into Signal Express, first thing that hits me is that unlike labVIEW you cannot right click in the channel configuration window and change the name from say... Dev2_ai0 to Air Pressure? I feel that if this was possible then I would overcome my problem? anyway I can't so onwards...
I goto the DAQmx Acquire window on the top left and can right click and rename the channel, which is great... however this does not translate to the logged data as I get the ai0 channel names across the top of the columns and not the names that I have put in.
Is there anyway of getting data like the attached snippet?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Channel names.gif ‏4 KB

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply, that has certainly fixed my issue as I wasn't expanding the channel and selecting the channel that I had renamed.
One last thing though:
I now not only get the individual channel name but the prefix for the DAQmx Aquire, for instance I get the Input of Braketest and then the channels under the input data.
It looks a bit like this....
Braketest - Front Pres
Braketest - Rear Pres
Braketest - FR Temp
Braketest - FL Temp
etc etc...
Now all of the channel names at the top of the columns have this long name. Can this be rectified? can I remove the "Braketest" bit?
By the way I am saving it as an ASCII so that I can read it in excel.
Many thanks, Neil.

I don't think that the ActiveX control exposes the
necessary methods and properties to be able to read the range of
FP-items. But there is another way to do that:
You can use Logos to get the info you need. You use the Datasocket
Read.vi in LabVIEW and use the Logos connection URL (ex.
lookout:\\10.0.34.183\FP\1TC\00\ConfiguredRange) to get the data. If
you have LabVIEW 7.0 or later it is even easier... Follow these step-by-step
instructions:
1) Open a new VI and place a Numeric Indicator on the front panel
2) Right click on the Numeric Indicator and select "Data Operations >> Datasocket Connection"
3) Click the "Browse" button and select "Browse Measurement Data"
4) Type in the IP address of the FP controller and press the "Refresh" button
5) Navigate to the Attribute you are intersted in (ex. FP>>1TC>>00>>Attributes>>ThermocoupleType)
and press the "OK" button
6) Click the "Attach" button
7) This will allow Datasocket to read from the location specified (ex.
lookout:\\10.0.34.183\FP\1TC\00\Attributes\Thermocoupletype) and
populate that data into the Numeric Indicator.
8) I found I needed to put a while loop around the indicator with a
loop delay and stop button to get any good data out.
*** The data you get back will be the code for the values... You will
have to just experiment to see what value means which attribute.
However, this will allow you to get the data. You can also cut and
paste the URL you get from steps 1-5 into the URL input of a Datasocket
Read.vi instead of using the Datasocket attach shortcut I do here...

Getting Asset Name and ID using postgreSQL command line

Hi,
I`m excited by the possibility of getting/putting Annotations from/to FCSvr from command:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "select * from pxtcmdvalue;"
Using grep and awk (print) it`s possible to extract individual fields. But first I need to identify
Assets Names with Assets ID`s.
Anyone know how to get from command line an asset name from ID and vice versa?
In other words: If I grep for the ID and awk for the 3, 4, and 5 column I can extract TCIN, TCOUT and the Annotations from that Asset ID. But I want to know what Asset is and write to a text file with the asset name and not the asset ID.
The syntax would be more or less like this:
For each ID on the pxtcmdvalue (first column is entityID) get from FCSvr (or from db) the AssetName the columns with TCIN, TCOUT and Value of Annotations. Put (append if more than one entries) this on a tabulated text file named after AssetName.
I`m sorry for not being so "program write" like, but I try! ahaah
Thanks!

Hey guys,
Thank you very much for all this help! Especially fbm! Thanks a lot!
Regarding inserting into annotation I could manage to do that , as I`ve said, I`m stubborn! hehehehe
with this command you can insert an annotation (ONE with each command) into a clip:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "INSERT INTO pxtcmdvalue VALUES (72, 1527, '00:35:41;09/(30000,1001)', '00:36:28;24/(30000,1001)', 'if works I`ll be very happy!', 1, '2009-03-15 19:31:15.839795-03');"
Of course, remembering to change all things inside single quotes.
The only catch is that you`ll have to know the entityid for the asset in question. Of course, looking into fbm post above it`s possible to "translate" the entityid into the ASSETID, but I don`t know how to parse this inside the parentheses. Maybe letting the "72" (in my case) entityid as "entityid" and outside the parentheses translating with INNER JOIN???
We`re almost there!! I`m glad that this is here, opened to every one that wants to adventure into FCSRV "dark" side!
Just remember, this is NOT supported by APPLE! I`m testing this on a test FCSRV installed on a mini (yes I could "hack" into the "detecting hardware" and disable to manage to install).
Just one more thing: I`ve read somewhere that the pxatommap table has ALL that FCSRV could provide (and of course yours custom md). I`m trying to get ALL this fields to each asset. I`ve tried the command:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT * FROM pxatommap INNER JOIN pxmdvalue ON pxatommap.id = pxmdvalue.fieldid"
But it`s very messy and it`s not for one asset.
Thanks again you all that took the time to post to help others like me!
Regards!

Help, Ni-Daq channel names and labview program error 10001?

Can anyone please help me, I have inherited a role that I know nothing about. I have managed to get an NT pc to now recognise the SC-2345 board, set up and configure two channels and test them in Measurement and Automation program, this I managed after getting error 10401 and looking within these message boards which are very good.
I have then started a labview program, previously written by ex-employee, and now get error 10001, after trawling the FAQ and forums I think that I have a naming error in the virtual channels created, how do I find out what the channels should be named within the Labview program, do I need to load an editor etc and then open a config file?
Sorry if this seams like a simple error, but I am trying to learn the software from a book that is a little tattered.
Regards

Hi,
error 10001 can be caused by a few things including an incorrect scanning order.
If you'd like to post your code back onto here (or if it's large, ftp it to ftp.ni.com/incoming and let use know the name of the zip file you've packaged it into), then we can see what the DAQ section is supposed to be doing and hopefully provide some clues as to where to look for the information / why the error is occuring.
The first thing to do is go back to Measurement and Automation explorer and try setting up a global task that refers to the channels you're interested in.
This removes the programming side of things, since you select from drop down lists, to verify that you can communicate correctly with the hardware at the rates and across the channels that you want.
These links is going to be your best learning point for getting up an running with the program.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DD52ABD7C15F0B15862562910074F09E
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3116
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4656
In terms of LabVIEW, there's several I/O controls you can use which will list the hardware channels you have configured or the global tasks you have created in Measurement and Automation explorer. (see the last link above)
Another option is to look at our Alliance Partners if you need things configured and up and running in a hurry.
http://www.ni.com/alliance
If you just need a little pointer on getting kicked off, then you could see if you local sales engineer is available to go through things with you for an hour if they're in your area at a convenient time (for the UK / Ireland, please call in on 01635 572410 and ask to go through to sales), or we do offer start-up assistance (but that's something you need to purchase) to get a day's onsite assistance with getting your hardware up and running and starting you off with advice / examples on your application (note this is an effort based thing rather than a results based guarantee)
Finally you could consider coming on one of our courses on LabVIEW and / or Data Acquisition to learn more about the software / hardware and be better prepared to handle the implementation yourself.
Hope that helps

How to get the name and the path of the font used in photoshop (not textItem.font)

I'm trying to get the real name of the font and the path, is there a "easy" way to do it ?
i need to get the font file (*.ttf or *.otf) and copy to the same directory as the psd file, that's why textItem.font doen't work for me.
thanks in advance

You could try this as it looks as if you are using Windows.
Run the VBS script to create a fontlist file on the desktop.
Then run the javaScript on the PSD document.
It should copy the fonts to the same folder as the document, it will also create a text file with a list of fonts.
It didn't find all the fonts in my test psd maybe because it wasn't in the windows/font folder?
