Putting a row in 2d array

Hello,
I try to insert a 1d array into a 2d array. I use the "Insert into array" function, but it just refuses to do it. I wire the output array to a local variable of the 2d array, but it just won't work. Help!

Array inserts makes the whole array rescale, it involves creating a copy of the original array, so it is avoided because it requires more memory and is slower than initializing the array to it's final size straight away and then replace elements (To know how large a part of the array has actually been filled with real data, if that is necessary to know, add a counter/counters...). I have attached an example.
Locals and globals are avoided for many of the same reasons; they create copies of the data and are slow...they also allow race conditions (no guarantee that the data is read/written in the correct order...) Locals can normally be avoided just by using data flow; use the wires to hand over data, do not write or read it using locals. They ha
ve their place though, e.g. if you need two parallel loops to share data, but in many cases it's better then to use what is called a functional global.

How can I add a new row into an array bases on a1D array

Hello,
I build a FieldPoint application with LabView 7.1 RealTime. I've a measurement loop with 1Hz sample rate. I sample 5 channels and put them into a 1D array. Presently I write directly to a cvs file but this I've to cahnge because my loop slows down to 0.2 Hz.
I want to sample my data the hole day (86400 loops) and save them inside of an array. When the time is over I want write the hole array (table) to the file.
How I can do this or hoow I can add my 1D array to a new row in my 2D array?
Thanks

Writing a series of 5 values to a file should not take so long. There is probably something wrong in the way you are saving your data. May be you should post a simplified version of your vi, so we could see how to improve your code.

Delete unwanted rows in 2D array when not knowing the index of which to delete

Hi!
I am kind of new to Labview and I hope that someone can help me with my problem.
First I import a spreadsheet from Excel into a 2-D array of string. For each row in the array I then want to compare the data in a specific column (which is a date (time stamp)) with today's date. Rows containing a date with lower number than today's date I want to put into a new array and the rest I have no need for.
I have succeeded in creating a time stamp for today's date so that it is consistent with the Excel time stamp. But for the comparing and creating a new array part I have no idea about how to do it. I have tried numerous ways with no luck at all (probably because I don't understand all of the VIs that I need to use).
Happy for all help that I can get!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You're on the right track! (although your attempt will only list the datetime values)
What you'll need to add/change is the resulting array need to be connected to the loop as Shift register (with an initial empty array), and in the Case you'll either use Build array to add the current line or send the unmodified through.
You'll probably want to send the full array through and not only the datetime.
You'll probably need some tweak to only use date, but similar to this:

How to increase the number of rows in the array as needed

hello LV
I need advice following
1. To the sine signal of 100 data (100 sampling) to sort 250 rows in the array. It changes the sine signal in the plane that time.
2. To set up a new row by external trigger signal.
Thank you

Hi Nusorn,
Your question makes little to no sense. Could you explain further, perhaps send some example code of what you have done so far?

Retrieve 3 rows of data and put each row in different position on screen

I need to retrieve 3 consecutive rows of data (easy) and need to put each row's data in an entirely different location on the home page
for example,
row 1 needs to go up in the top left content box
row 2 needs to go in the large content area in the middle of the page
row 3 needs to be put down in the footer of the page
what's the most efficient way to do this ?

Ok, I've tried to research this a bit more, but I'm no further forward
So if I have a query...
<cfquery name="getData" datasource="foo">
SELECT *
FROM 00_pricelist
</cfquery>
<cfoutput query="GetData" startrow=1 maxrows=3 >
     
     #getData.uneak_code[1]#<br />
     
     #getData.uneak_code[2]#<br />
     
     #getData.uneak_code[3]#<br />
</cfoutput>
can you tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Putting Front Row on an Ibook late 2004 after archiving & installing 10.5

front row will not appear in dock after upgrading. Cannot put front row into dock because it is not possible to select dock while front row is running after upgrading to leopard 10.5.1
click on download link at the following site:
http://lucidsystems.org/luciddocktools.html
install the program. Then go to the utilities folder and start terminal. In the terminal window paste the following and press enter:
additemtodock /Applications/Front\ Row.app
front row will appear in dock. you can then run front row-minus the remote control which ibooks don't have.

You don't need to wait for an application to run to keep it in the Dock, Front Row included. And you don't need to add a utility or to use Terminal to do this.
Instead, just navigate in the Finder to the Applications folder (or wherever it is stored) & drag it from the Finder window to the Dock.

Re: Is it possible to change row colors on array fields ors

HI Martin!
Yes, it is possible to change row colors on array fields.
I have attached a PEX (tools.pex) which has an object which changes FillColor
and PenColor for Arrays. The PEX has it's own test window, so you can try
various combinations. (There are a few other Objects in the Project which are
not relevant
I'm not sure that you can change colors on individual choices in a scroll list.
I haven't tried playing around with it.
The test window actually changes the color of scroll lists as well.
The object keeps track of which rows have changed color, same with pen color, so
that when you scroll it keeps track of which rows are a different colors.
The pex is self-contained, just import the file and do a test run.
Please let me know if you have any problems.

Is it possible to change row colors on array fields or scroll lists?
I need to create a list field that will allow me to dynamically change the
fillColor and/or penColor attributes of individual rows. (I just want to
highlight the rows, and those seem to be the obvious attributes...) It appears
you can't do that on scroll lists (the elements are list elements, and don't
have those attributes) and I can't figure out how to do it on an array field
either. Any ideas for how to accomplish this?

Putting a row into a pageable cache failed with error 9 and error message

Hi Guys,
I am fetting the follwoing message when the job is scheduled.
Putting a row into a pageable cache failed with error <9> and error message <Db::put: Bad file descriptor>
I read the forum and Manoj has suggested to one of the forum member to change the size of the Pcache setting through the server manager. But I do not see the setting there. can any one please let me know where exactly I can see and increase the size of the Pcache.
Thanks

Hi
I've had the same problem. We know from other (more meaingful) error messages that we ran out of space for the Pageable Cache, but we've just increased it by 50GB and still get the same error.
Anyone??
Btw i don't think you there is a setting for PCache size - it will just use all the free disk you have on the drive where you have located the PCache directory.

Mean-row of 2D array?

Hello,
[LabView 6.0.2]
There's a VI a miss in LabView, but perhaps I just didn't find it:
I'm getting back a 2D array outside of a For-loop; the size of each
dimension is not known explicitly in advance.
I would like to calculate the mean-row of the array (Sum of rows /
number of rows).
It's not difficult, but I did not found any standard VI performing that!
Does it exist? The method I use instead is just another For-loop, but I
would be surprised if it has not been foreseen by the implementors.
Thanks in advance,
Pierre Chatelier

I don't think there is a built-in function that explicitly does what you are asking for, but you shouldn't need a seperate for loop to do the processing.
I assume that because the 2D loop is coming from a FOR loop that there is probibly something (acquisition routine?) inside the loop that is generating a 1D array (the rows in your output). This 1D array is then accumulated into a 2D array at the border of the FOR loop.
If this is so, all you have to do is sum the elements of each 1D array inside the loop and divide the result by the N value for the loop. You can then do whatever you need to do to return the calculated results in the desired form.
In general look for times in which you have two consecutive FOR loops that are executing the same number of
times. Very often you can simplify the code by consolidating the functions into a single loop.
If you post your code (in V6.0 format) I'll look at it for you and show you what I mean.

Delete from multiple rows elements from Array

I have an array that contains about 3700 rows, and 4 columns. Every 37 rows a cycle of data begins. I would like to delete the first row of every cycle of data (i.e. row 1, row 38, row 75, row 111, etc -- until I have deleted every 37th row in the entire array). Then if possible I would like to take an average of rows 2 through 37, 39 through 74, 76 through 110, etc...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't see the original post about the data shape, but if you have a 2D
array, wire it into a For loop. Use i mod 36 equals 0 to select whether
you
add the array to the current total in the shift register, or whether
you divide the total array by 36 and append it to the averages array,
then overwrite the total to restart the process. If the rows isn't
doesn't contain an integer multiple of 36 rows, you need to deal with
the excess data either ignoring or making an average with a different
denominator. I'd assume you do this outside the loop.

How to put data from database into array

I need to answer hot to put data from database directly into array.
I tried like the code below but the error message said: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0, and it points to this line: numbers [row][0]= rs.getString("ID");
Hope you can help.
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
     int row=0;
     String [] [] numbers=new String [row][10];
     // output resultset
     while ( rs.next() )
          numbers [row][0]= rs.getString("ID");
          numbers [row][1]= rs.getString("name");
     row++;
     // close resultset
     rs.close();
thanks,Devi

The exception is been thrown simply because you assigned '0' to the 'row' variable, indicating a zero length of the array. In fact you should assign the row count to it.
After all, don't do that. Make use of the Collection framework and map the ResultSet to a Collection of DTO's.
List<User> users = new ArrayList<User>();
while (resultSet.next()) {
    User user = new User();
    user.setID(resultSet.getString("ID"));
    user.setName(resultSet.getString("name"));
    users.add(user);
}

How to delete rows from 2D array in this case...

Hello. I'm just begging adventure with labview so please for patient. I created a program whitch suppose work in following way:
2D Input array is array created by FOLDER BROWSING subVI. It works in this way,that browse folder and looking for txt files whose contanins measurment data. In my case subVI founds 4 files,and from theirs headers read information about what kind of data are in file also their's path. In this way is created 2D Input Array. subVI named PLOTS FROM PATHS ARRAY make picture with polar/XY plot. It's create only those plots and legends on one picture as many files(their paths) is setted to the program by output array. I made this subVI in that way and I would not like to change it.
My problem is that in even loop (witch check for any change by user) program suppose to relay anly those rows(files) for which checkbox are marked, e.g. marking anly 1 and 4 box, program should chose from input array row 1 and 4 only and pass them to output array,then PLOTS FROM PATHS ARRAY subVI makes a picture only with 1 and 4 plot and legend only for plot 1 and 4. The best solution would be some relay witch is avtivated by logical signal. It lost to me ideas how to solve it, I'm just in blaind corner...
I tried to use delete from array but I don't know how to do use it properly in this program,becease it can be only before or afeter for loop. Below is scan of front panel and also main problem. Please set me up somehow to solve this problem.
Regards

How can I put the contents of an array into a set of write local variable clusters?

I have a set of controls that a user fills in. The controls are clustered by rows, then combined into a 1D array, then written to a file. When I read the file, I want to feed the array back into the clusters with write local variables. Is there a simple way to handle the numerous local variable clusters so I can stuff the array back into them?
Is there a better way to handle the whole issue of storing and recovering the information?
The rows are steps in a procedure, and each row (cluster) contains numerical as well as string controls.

There are many ways of doing this
You may convert all your data to strings and save as an ascii file (you have to pay attention to the file format, so you can read it properly.
Or you can use the configuration vi's, it may work in your case.
or you may use an invoke node to get all controls of the vi's, save it, then read it, without worrying about any format. I have attached a vi that uses this method.

Count the number of rows in an array

Hi there,
I'm quite new with Labview, maybe somebody can help me.
I have a .vi that controls two pump with certain ratios (to make a composition gradient). I export the data to an ascii file, which write the displacement of the two pumps in 2 colums. However, the number of rows is related to the ms-counter, and thus related to the processor of the computer. Now I need, at the end of the vi, to get the number of rows written to the ascii file, to do some further calculations. Does anybody know how to do this?!
Thanks

You could wire the loop-counter to a variable outside the loop, so you can see the number of iterations (don't forget to add 1).
You also can use the Array Size-Function. Here you get different outputs, according to the dimensions of the array to get the size of.
Here you can see what you get if you use this function:
1D-Array: one value
2D-Array: array, item 0 = number of rows, item 1 = number of columns
3D-Array: array, item 0 = number of pages, item 1 = number of rows, item 2 = number of columns
So if (in your case) you wire a 2D-Array you can use the array-size function, select item 0 of the array you get and you get the number of rows.
You can also have a look at the attachement.
Hope it helps.
