Reading a char array from Serial port
Need help!
Hi, I've got the following problem - I wanna read a input stream from serial port and I use at the moment the following method (reading bytewise):
public String receiveText (){
byte ch;
fStrBuf.delete(0,fStrBuf.length()); //clearing the buffer
try{
do {
ch = (byte) fPortInStream.read();
fStrBuf.append( (char) ch);
while ( (byte) ch != 0x03); //The end of frame byte
}catch(IOException ioe) {};
return fStrBuf.toString();It works pretty well, but disadvantage is that it's too slow to use it in the thread (at least I think so)
How can I change it to read all available data from the port (or simply faste). I don't need event listeners, because it's a request-responde communication.
I tried smth. like this
byte[] readBuffer = new byte[20];
try {
while (fPortInStream.available() > 0) {
int numBytes = inputStream.read(readBuffer);
fStrBuf.append(readBuffer);
} catch (IOException e) {}
return fStrBuf.toString();But it doesn't seem to work :-(
May I suggest that you use StringBuilder rather than StringBuffer. It has less overhead because it is not threadsafe. I do synchronous serial port stuff with Opto 22, and i have no listeners enabled.
Appending to the String(Builder/Buffer) directly from the byte buffer mangles it. So I use a string (ugh). With the Opto22 brain boards, i am looking for a carriage return as a term char. It either finds it or times out.
This is the best i have come up with so far:
StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();
String data = new String();
long msTimeOut = 2000;
public void getResponse () throws IOException {
byte[] readBuff = {0};
int charAvail;
response.delete(0,response.length());
long ts = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
try {
while ( readBuff[readBuff.length-1] != '\r' ) {
charAvail = inputStream.available();
if ( charAvail > 0 ) {
readBuff = new byte[charAvail];
inputStream.read(readBuff);
response.append(new String(readBuff));
if ( Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() > (ts + msTimeOut) ) {
response.delete(0,response.length());
response.append("TIMEOUT");
break;
} catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); throw e; }
data = response.substring(0);
} I just starting writing Java about 4 days ago, so caveat emptor.

Read data from serial port or TCP port of frontend PC
Hello Friends,
I have requirement to read data from device connected to frontend PC which will provide meter reading data.
Vendor has given me two option.
1. Device can be connected to seiral port and data transfer will be done through MODBUS RTU protocol.In that case data need to capture from serial port.
2. Device can be connected to TCP port and Socket program can be provided for data transfer. In that case SAP will act as client and communicate with TCP port.
There will be multiple workstation with individual meters connected to them.
I am aware of text file interfacing through front end tools using custom code using VB,JAVA or others.
Is there any solution availble to achieve above things using ABAP other than text file , like direct communication?
I am using ECC 6.0.Hello,
Socket programming in not available on ABAP, but you may use RFC for the same.
Use the below links for more details

Problem while reading data from Serial Port
Hi All,
I am facing some problem while reading data from Serial Port.
As per the requirement I am writing the data on Serial Port and waiting for response of that data.
Notification for data availabilty is checked with method public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) of javax.comm.SerialPortEventListener.
When we are writing data on the port one thread i.e. "main" thread is generated and when data availability event occures another thread "Win32SerialPort Notification thread" is generated. This creates problem for me as we can't control thread processing.
So can anybody pls explain me how to overcome this problem?
Regards,
NehaMy Problem is:-
I am simoultaneouly wrting data on port & reading data from port.
First I write data on port using outputStream.write() method. Now when target side sends me response back for the request on serial port DATA_AVAILABLE of SerialPortEventListner event occured,we are reading data from serial port.Now till the time we didn't get the response from target next command can't be written on the serial port. When we are writing data on port main thread is executed.Now my problem starts when DATA_AVAILABLE event occured.At this point another thread is created.Due to this my program writes data of next command without reading response of previous command.To solve this prob. I have used wait() & notify() methods as follows.But again due to this my pc hangs after execution of 2 commands. (PC hang in while loop in a code provided below.)
From SOPs I could figure it out that after 2 commands we are not able to write data on serial port so DATA_AVAILABLE event doesn't occure n pro. goes in wait state.
Can anybody help me to solve this issue.
Neha.
Code:
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event)
switch (event.getEventType())
case SerialPortEvent.BI:
case SerialPortEvent.OE:
case SerialPortEvent.FE:

dataAvailable = true;
byte[] tempArray=new byte[availableBytes];
inputStream.read(tempArray);
catch (IOException io)
SOP(io, "Error in serialEvent callback call for event DATA_AVAILABLE");
public void writetoPort(byte[] data) throws IOException
outputStream.write(data);
while(finalTimeOut >= actualTime)

Count time between 2 readings from serial port... help!.
Hi guys,
I am using my application to get the readings sent by microcontroller from serial port. It works perfectly. But i have the problem, the pic uses 16bits counter, and sometimes i measure frequency lower than 15hz (65535-->16bits). Thats why I thought to measure the time between each pulse that it recieved in serial port. So i could multiply the reading about the time which spend in arrive to serial port. I know if any pulse spend more than 15hz, i should add 65535 to this reading.
Then, the idea is count the time spent between each reading in serial port. SInce pics count and later send each turn.
I dont know if it is possible, and exist any easy way.. Can ayone help me?.
I would like to see any example of it, always it is possible.
Regards, Fonsi.

The windows clock is simply not that accurate. If you need to precisely time your serial reads you might want to look at using the timed loop. You can set the period of that to 1 msec.

Unable to capture data from Serial port using LVRT2010 in single core pentium 4 machine
I am using application written in Labview using windows Labview
Runtime environment 2010. Application creates a tunnel to intercept data from
Serial port.
My problem is, Currently, I am using single core Pentium
processor. When I am trying to intercept the data between COM1 and COM7 (COM 7
is a virtual port) it is not able to capture data.
When I am running Labview RT environment using dual core
processor machine it is running normally. I wonder whether it could be the compatibility issues with
single core Pentium processor.Hi Magnetica
Are both of the machines running the same runtime engine,
drivers ect?
Have you had RT applications running on this
machine before?
Is the development computer a 64bit machine?
The processor is a supported model (See link below).

direction to how I can read in an array from a text file?
Thanks!the easiest way is to create a string with the (soon-to-be)

in your string, then use the split() method of strings to split
your string into an array. -

Efficient optimized way to read from serial port and GPS data display using map
Hi,
I have a custom h/w which reads the data from GPS Rx and after parsing send it to PC over RS232.
Each second it sends 201 bytes to PC. I have developed a VI to read the GPS data and display it. Project file is attached.
Fulctionality of different loops are as following:
1. LOOP 1: 1.1 Reads the serial data from com port.
1.2 Synclonize the frame using start bytes "a" and "z".
1.3 Reads next 4 bytes containg receiving error information.
1.4 Reads next 195 bytes. in which initial 80 byes are GPS data. rest are others.
2. LOOP 2: 2.1 Extarcts the GPS information and put them in an array.
2.2 Extarcts the receive error infor and counts the total error by incrimenting the variable using shift reg.
3. LOOP 3:3: 3.1 Displays the GPS data in chart and log the data in a file.
4. FLOW : Uses the GMAP .NET based API to creat a MAP and display.
Problem statement:
1. Functionality acheived.
2. However in between data set is being missed by the programm.
Quesitions:
1. Is the developed VI is efficient in terms of using queue loacl variables etc.
2. What are the improvments I can do to solve the problem.
Any other suggestions|
Thank you

Reading data from serial port needs optimisation
Hi,
We have got a class which reads input from some hardware connected to the serial port.
The data coming from the device can cross over 1mb at a time.
We would like to optimize the speed of the program such that no data is lost during the readings.
Hence, we would like to store the entire reading into memory such that it can be stored into a file or database once the readings have been completed.
The serialport class returns a byte[] of the current data in the buffer. There could be over 8000 such readings.
Would it be better to convert the byte[] into a char[] and append into a StringBuffer
or append the byte[] as is into an ArrayList and perform the conversions and operations on it later?
Reg,
ChetanThe ArrayList will not only be much faster but it will preserve the original data. Unless the incoming data really is a String there is no point in converting it.

Plot more than one analog value to a waveform chart by reading from Serial Port
I have 4 LDRs and I want to plot their values to a waveform chart by reading them from the serial port. I have looked around and found an example of a VI plotting one value to a waveform chart (attached below) but I am unsure about how to expand this for 4 different waveforms, mostly because I don't particularly understand the way is being read currently. If someone could either point me in the way of a relevant example or explain/show me a solution, or explain howthe current VI I have works, that would be greatly appreciated.
Attachments:
LDRread.vi 20 KBSince I assume each LDR (whatever that is) has its own serial connection, you will need to read from 4 different serial ports. From there, just form an array of all the data and write to the chart.

What do you mean, "not fixed?" If there is no termination character, no start/stop character(s) or even a consistent data length, then how can you really be sure when the data starts and stops?
I probably misunderstood you though. Assuming the last case is not ture - there is a certain length to the data - then you should use the bytes at port, like in the otherwise disastrous serial port read example. In this case, it's NOT disastrous. You have to make sure that you read all the data that came through. Right now you have no idea how much data you just read. Also, if this is streaming data, you might want to break it out into a producer/consumer design pattern.
Not fixed means order is not fixed, data from any com port can come anytime. lenght is fixed, one com port have 14 byte and other 8 byte fixed..
Reading data is not an issue for me as it works nice but I have a query that why my application hangs after sometime and stops reading data from COM PORT.
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.

Reading ascii codes from serial port and plotting them
Hello
I am trying to build a VI that reads data (ascii values) from the serial port.
I am trying to build a wireless phonocardiogram. I have a microphone that acquires heart sounds. these signals are amplified and sent to a A/D converter to digitize them. the digital signal are sent to a base unit. The digitals signals received at the base unit have to be sent to a computer (over a serial port to view them).
I would like build a VI to plot ascii data received over the serial port.
I would like to plot those values so that the plot just looks like a analog signal (the one I had before A/D conversion).
Can anyone provide me some help?
Thanks in advance.....
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi chaitu209
What is your transmission speed, samplerate, and bandwidth needed in your project? The bandwidth of the serial port is somewhat limited. Let me give you an example
Say you are using 115200 Kbit per second as transmission speed, one start bit/stop bit and parity bit, and 8 bit data. This will give you 115200/11 bytes pr second as the maximum theoretical transfer rate/sample rate. But if you are using up to 16 bit AD your maximum samplerate will be 115200/(2x11). So my advise to you is to use a binary transfer protocol not ASCII based protocol. This is not a problem in Labview with serial transmission.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far) -

serial read.vi 36 KBI think the problem may be the loop reading the serial port is running too fast. There is no timing delay in the loop, so you are reading it as fast as you can, and probably faster than the device is sending data. So sometimes the buffer is empty, and then the empty string gets converted to a numeric zero. The way to know for sure is to put an indicator on the error wire coming out of the serial port read. I bet you will see errors about the read buffer being empty.
Put a wait timer in the loop to slow down the execution just slightly. This is a good idea so that LV doesn't eat up all the CPU resources. Look at the example for Basic Serial Write and Read. You may want to have a loop ahead of the read that waits until there are a certain number of bytes at the port before it reads the serial port. You may want to put a loop around the serial port that waits until a valid number is read in before it exits the loop and goes to the numeric conversion.
