Read Calibration Due Date with Labview

Greetings Everyone,
I figured out a way to read the configuration of my PXI-1044. I would like to read the External Calibration section of the Calibration Tab in MAX for my PXI-5114 and PXI-4065 (Last Calibrated and Recommended Next Calibration Dates) by using Labview to read it. The preferred format I am looking for is similar to the configuration of my PXI-1044 that extracts data in a Tab delimited format. Thank you in advance for any information that this forum can shed on this subject.
Regards,
Scott

Hi Dennis,
     Thanks once again for your reply.
     I searched all examples that are loaded into the computer and the search came up empty for the file you mention. I even searched for the file on Google and stil came up empty. Is this file something that came with Labview 2011 or Labview 2012? If so I don't have access to that since all computers are running Labview 2010.
     I appreciate your efforts in helping me out. I'm still a little confused as to what System Session Refnum is to be expected on the input of Measurement I/O>System Configuration>Hardware>Property Nodes (Hardware). Looking at the slew of stuff that the property node offers and tying a couple to Text Indicatorsto them it looks like the stuff I'm after. The only thing I would need is to connect the PXI-4065 and/or PXI-5114 to this node in order to extract the data that I need. Property nodes are very new to me and I'm sure they can be very useful. This information is going to be used for a Test Rack Self Test program that I'm developing above and beyond the embedded self test protocol that NI has in its software. I look forward to your response or anyone elses that will push me forward in my education of this software package.  Thank you in advance.

How to compile COM 1 data with LabVIEW?

I have a device connected to my COM 1 port. How do I input data with that into labVIEW? The program that comes with it is really elementary, it only shows me the data that the comes straight from the device, no analysis. Its like labVIEW and MAX dont recognize the device, but my device manager says its connected and works fine. How do i input that data and compile it with labVIEW?

Much better
MAX will not detect instruments connected to a com port. The reason is that there is no standard for serial instruments (unlike GPIB). You should only have your com port listed in MAX. If the instrument is listed in your device manager, then it sounds like the driver you got with the instrument is a little weird. It may be that the driver software has taken control over one of your serial ports. Normally, all you would have to do is use the serial functions on the Instrument I/O palette. However, if the instrument driver has taken control of the com port, you won't be able to do this because the OS will only allow one process access to the port at any one time. You can test this by trying to open a Hyperterminal session to the com port. If you can an error indicating that the port is in use, then that's the driver running in the background. You can uninstall the driver and everything should be okay. You could also try to use the driver as provided. I'm assuming it's a DLL. You could call the functions in the DLL with the LabVIEW Call Library Node function. You will need documentation from the vendor on the DLL in order for this to be done. It's probably simpler, though, just to use the LabVIEW serial functions. You would still need the command set/syntac from the instrument manufacturer in order to communicate with it.

Replacing net due date with current date in invoice document

Dear all,
We are having a functionality of replacing the net due date in the current date with reference to the Posting area entry. in the invoice document .Can anybody tell me where and in which event we can maintain this .
Susmita

The obvious answer here is to have payment terms which are due immediately, and then set the transaction to use the posting date as the baseline date - that is done in the main/sub definitions within the TE305 customizing.

In need of a KEITHLEY 2001 single read .vi that is compatible with LabVIEW 7

I am updating from LabVIEW 5.1.1 to 7. The KEITHLEY 2001 Single Read .vi has coercion errors, and does not function. Where can I get updated KEITHLEY 2001 .vi's that are compatible with LabVIEW 7?

You can visit http://ni.com/idnet/, click the "Search Drivers" button
and select "Keithley" as the manufacturer and hit the "Go" button.
Look down the list, and you'll find the LabVIEW Certified Plug and
Play driver for this multimeter scanner.
I hope this helps.

Options for read/write form field data with VBA/Reader

I have a project which requires reading and writing field data to a PDF form using VBA in PowerPoint. The code I have works properly with the full version of Acrobat, but the client this project is for will be using Reader. I'm looking for suggestions to what options I have to be able to access the form field data (I don't need any other features other than access to the field data). Ideally, I would love a solution which doesn't require the client to install anything extra for this to work, but I'm assuming that this isn't possible without an extra install.
Is there a library that exists in Reader (or could be licensed to be installed on the client's machine) that would allow the data to be read without needing the full version of Acrobat?
Does a plug-in exist for Reader, or could be written, that would allow this? Writing a plug-in would certainly be beyond my current capabilities, but I am interested in knowing every and any choices that are available.
Are there any other options to do what I need to do?
I had originally thought about exporting the form data and parsing it in the VBA program, but this would take a bit more work to write the parsing routine instead of accessing the fields directly. Plus, it appears to me that Exporting is not enabled in Reader.
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.

Thanks for the response; this was my original suggestion, but I don't think this is feasable for our client. I suggested to our account people that this might be the only way to do this (and the easiest, although possibly the costliest since it would have to be purchased for their entire sales force) and they initially said that this would not be an option, so I wanted to be able to cover all the bases, and explore any other ways that they could do what they want. Is this the absolute only option to do this?
Someone also suggested to me that licensing the Acrobat PDF Library SDK might be a way to do this, or that it could possibly be done with a plug-in for Reader (although from what I have found, Reader plug-ins would have to be approved by Adobe). These options, if possible, are beyond my current knowledge but I do want to be able to give them a complete list of possibilities.
Thanks again.

Optimal read write performance for data with duplicate keys

Hi,
I am constructing a database that will store data with duplicate keys.
For each key (a String) there will be multiple data objects, there is no upper limit to the number of data objects, but let's say there could be a million.
Data objects have a time-stamp (Long) field and a message (String) field.
At the moment I write these data objects into the database in chronological order, as i receive them, for any given key.
When I retrieve data for a key, and iterate across the duplicates for any given primary key using a cursor they are fetched in ascending chronological order.
What I would like to do is start fetching these records in reverse order, say just the last 10 records that were written to the database for a given key, and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on the optimal way to do this.
I have considered writing data out in the order that i want to retrieve it, by supplying the database with a custom duplicate comparator. If I were to do this then the query above would return the latest data first, and I would be able to iterate over the most recent inserts quickly. but Is there a performance penalty paid on writing to the database if I do this?
I have also considered using the time-stamp field as the unique primary key for the primary database instead of the String, and creating a secondary database for the String, this would allow me to index into the data using a cursor join, but I'm not certain it would be any more performant, at least not on writing to the database, since it would result in a very flat b-tree.
Is there a fundamental choice that I will have to make between write versus read performance? Any suggestions on tackling this much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Joel

Hi Joel,
Using a duplicate comparator will slow down Btree access (writes and reads) to
some degree because the comparator is called a lot during searching. But
whether this is a problem depends on whether your app is CPU bound and how much
CPU time your comparator uses. If you can avoid de-serializing the object in
the comparator, that will help. For example, if you keep the timestamp at the
beginning of the data and only read the one long timestamp field in your
comparator, that should be pretty fast.
Another approach is to store the negation of the timestamp so that records
are sorted naturally in reverse timestamp order.
Another approach is to read backwards using a cursor. This takes a couple
steps:
1) Find the last duplicate for the primary key you're interested in:
cursor.getSearchKey(keyOfInterest, ...)
status = cursor.getNextNoDup(...)
if (status == SUCCESS) {
      // Found the next primary key, now back up one record.
      status = cursor.getPrev(...)
} else {
      // This is the last primary key, find the last record.
      status = cursor.getLast(...)
}2) Scan backwards over the duplicates:
while (status == SUCCESS) {
      // Process one record
      // Move backwards
      status = cursor.getPrev(...)
}Finally another approach is to use a two-part primary key: {string,timestamp}.
Duplicates are not configured because every key is unique. I mention this
because using duplicates in JE has more overhead than using a unique primary
key. You can combine this with either of the above approaches -- using a
comparator, negating the timestamp, or scanning backwards.

Logging data with LabView and FP-DI-330

Hi,
I have a problem.
I am monitoring 6 ports of the FP-DI-330, via LabView.
I have it runing in a while loop that desides the update frequency. It then get stored in a txt file with the time in Hours, Minutes and Seconds. I need the time in milli seconds to skill betwen the diferent input times. Because the different input´s can come in the same second.
i have added the vi file
Enyone have an sugestion?
Attachments:
FP_DI_330.vi ‏75 KB

First of all...
i will throw away the boolean display. But the Spreadsheet is the formation of the logfile is it not?
I will need that to get the data nicely organized.
I dont know how to get milli seconds displayed enywhere. If i use for example the tick count (MS) it starts with a number around 3287101, should it not start with 1 and then count up?
"Further in your vi, you forgot to connect the current time to the Get Date/Time string. Can't you use the millisecond values for building the time-values?"
How can i connect the current time to the Get Date/Time String? And how should i use the ms timer values for building time-values.
file-info of the log-file? What?
Thanks for the ideas but i could really use some help.
I would think th
at it could not be that dificult making a simple ms count to add to the time for every line of the logfile. But i cant get it to work.

Questions on Saving and mining data with Labview and DIAdem

Hi,
I am sampling two signals at 200k sampling rate. I am trying to save the data on harddisk and analyzing the data using DIAdem.
If I save the data using mesurement file format .tdm and .lvm, the file size will be about 4 Gigabytes for only 10 mins' acquisition. It is very slow to process it.
I used the software Clampex and pCLAMP(Axon Instruments) before. At the same 200k sampling rate and also acquiring two signals, these programs save the data as .atf format and the size is only 400 MB for 10 mins' acquisition.
I wonder if there is also a good way to handle this situation using Labview and DIAdem, and how to do it?

Hi, Jonathan:
I tried the TDM binary file format. The file size is 800 MB per min acquisition and it will take a long time to just open these files. For my application, I have to take data for several hours. I am looking for a way to reduce the size of files.
Is there any other type of file format that can reduce the size significantly and can be handled easily?

What is the most time efficient way to scan massive amounts of text data with LabVIEW?

I am currently running an application that scans data in a text files for outliers. After each file is scanned, statistics data stored in a database (if there are outliers); so at least the memory in the computer will not be eaten up. In order to scan lines of data without killing the computer, I put a 1 millisecond delay in the scanning loop. I have massive amounts of data in thousands of files to scan. Taking one milisecond per line of data is taking too much time. At this rate, it will take over a WEEK to scan all the data! Is there anything I can do to minimize the time per line scan? If anybody knows, I need a solution. If anybody thinks or knows there is NO solution, I need to hear that feedback too!

I would use queue to pass the data to the processing task. You could put some intelligence in your file reading task to hold off reading a new file until the processing task has completely processing the data. However I suspect you should be able to process things fairly quickly. The suggestion to include a Wait 0 is a good one. You should always avoid writing repetitive tasks with no ability for the NI scheduler to perform a context switch. Though the various queue VIs allow the system to context switch if required.

Reading Max/Min/Avg with labview from agilent 34401a

Hi,
I'm using Labview drivers I've downloaded from the ni.com
website to control an agilent 34401A digital multimeter. All I'm trying to do right now is read
min/max/avg measurements after putting the device into a DC current mode,
configuring it for min/max measurements, and then pausing for a couple
seconds. The program successfully puts
the multimeter into the correct modes, but always returns 0 for each
measurement. Could you take a look at
the program to see if you find a simple mistake on my part? It should be
attached to this message. Thanks very
much.

AVGMAXMIN.vi ‏421 KB

I don't have the instrument or manual handy but is it possible that the instrument is waiting for a series of trigger to actually take a series of measurements. do you see the display changing? You can try setting a breakpoint at the min/max function and manually trigger the instrument to see if that makes a difference. Also, you don't need the sequence structure at all. Most of the time, sequence structures just serve to make your programs harder to read and debug. Use dataflow for controlling execution order like in the picture I've attached.

AP PAYABLES- Not getting all the DUE DATE's in with split schedule payments

Hello All,
We have some issues with AP Data loading's into our DW from EBS 11.5.10 AP - PAYABLES.
One of our customer is using split schedule and share payment into few payment. Our

We are using PAYMENT_NUM=1 from ap_payment_schedules_all table as condition to load the Data to avoid duplicate rows coming for Payables.
Some hints: removing the "PAYMENT_NUM=1" from the where clause gives all the due_dates but then we have duplicate rows for Payables.
Please help to modify our query so that it will work for split schedule payment.

Reading RFID tags with LabVIEW

Is there an RFID reader which is compatible with LabVIEW (preferably from NI)?
I'm looking into tagging test samples and then reading sample data with LabVIEW. Has anyone done this?
I'm just starting my research so if you can give me some pointers or information about RFID in general it would be useful (costs, suppliers, caveats, and so on).
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
We have a DevZone tutorial on The State of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Take a look through this, it has a lot of information. Also, scroll down to the bottom of this page, it discusses what NI products can be used for RFID reading. We also have a Case Study called "Using National Instruments Software and Hardware to Develop and Test RFID Tags".
Hope this helps a bit!

Recurring document - FBD1 with incorrect due-date calculation for AP

Hi Gurus,
in our ECC 6.0 system we are creating with F.14 FI-documents (SAPF120) based on recurring documents (created with FBD1) for various purposes (e.g. Recurring entries for IC-business).
Therefore it's important that the system provides in the final processing of the recurring documents the correct net-due-date in the AP-document based on the document date and the payment term included in the AP-masterdata (LFB1-ZTERM).
Problem:
The processed FI-document contains the correct payment term but the calculated net-due-date with regards to the document date (BKPF-BLDAT) isn't correct. A Dummy-Update of the FI-document with FB02 on field BSEG-ZTERM provides finally the correct net due date but this a not recommended solution.
Any ideas how to solve that issue???
Thanks for replies.
BR, Bernd

Hi Vishnu,
the defined payment term is
fix day: 15
additional month: 1.
Default for baseline date is posting date
Therefore the expectation is that net due date is calculated for posting date
e.g. : 01.02.2012 to 15.03.2012.
The line item after processing in FI-document shows :
Posting Date : 01.02.2012
Bline Date: 01.02.2012
Days/percent: 35
Net due date: 07.03.2012 (dd.mm.yyyy)
That's wrong according to my understanding of the payment term definition.
BR, Bernd

Instalment payment terms and Due date

Hello
Can i have some comments on how the due date will be calculated in case of instalment payment terms.what is the configuration needed.Can we get the discount for each instalment if we pay in advance i.e before the due date.
with regds
RAJA

Installment payment terms is basically one payment term linked to other paymnet term(s).
If you split it to 3 lines, each of the 3 lines will get the payment term assigned for that line.
E.g. you will configure as follows: (obb9)
Inst Pmt Term Inst     %       Payment term
0001                  1     20              AAAA
0001                  2     30              BBBB
0001                  3     50              CCCC
If you post an invoice (of say 1000) with the pmt term 1, it will split to 3 lines
Line         Amt            Pmt term
1             200                AAAA
2             300                BBBB
3             500                CCCC
All the terms created for AAAA BBBB CCCC will apply to these lines.
Praveen.
