Replacing a file using 'Write JPEG File(6_1).vi'

when windows prompts for the file name to save the jpg, if I type in or choose an already existing file name, the jpg image fails to change. It works fine if I enter a unique file name. Any help?

I've tried to duplicate your error on both win 98 and xp, but cannot. I attached my test program along w/ a copy of Write JPEG just in case yours has been altered.
Perhaps you could post your own problematic vi.

  • How can I prevent my "Write JPEG File" vi from printing on my default printer?

    I use this VI to create a JPEG image of my front panel, but it always both creates the JPEG image like it's supposed to AND it prints to my default printer.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a workaround?  Is there another way to create JPEGs?  I've replaced it with the "Write to BMP File" vi, and I'm getting the same results.
    Solved!

    Never seen that before - posting code that shows this behaviour would be handy.
    My guess would be that you have an errant VI.Print.Panel to Printer method hanging around somewhere in your code.

  • IMAQ Write JPEG File doesn't save color

    Hi, I'm writing an 8 bit image to file. If I save it as bmp (using "IMAQ Write BMP.vi") File then color data is saved. If I save it as Jpeg using "IMAQ Write JPEG File", then I only get grayscale. I have attached a demonstration. There appears to be a bug in the IMAQ vi.

    At IMAQ create.vi you need to specify RGB image type. You are actually using 8 bit, that is a grayscale type.

  • Write JPEG file error on Compact FieldPoint

    Hello!
    I'm using Compact FieldPoint 2120 and LabVIEW 8.2. I'm trying to capture an image of a front panel and to save it into Compact FieldPoint using the "Write JPEG file". Unfortunately, it gives the error 1.
    I indicated c:\<jpeg_file_name.jpg> for the path.
    I switched the target to "My computer" and the code works correctly.
    Is that a problem of the path or VI Write JPEG file cannot be impemented on Real-Time target, such as Compact FieldPoint?
    Thank you!

    Well, that's true that Real-Time does not support Write JPEG file (this is the first problem). I'm using now Write BMP file insteed. The second problem, verified also in my practice, is that the Front Panel does not exist too on Compact FieldPoint.
    My aim is to develop web-interface to deal with the Compact FieldPoint from any computer. That is true that it has its own built-in Web-Server, but it doesn't have a script-executive environement. My idea was to create a custom "web" server running in parallel with the principal Web-Server to execute VI scripts.
    For that purpose I used TCP Listen -> TCP Read -> TCP Write runing on the port 82. I can send from any browser the request http://<IP address>/<script.vi>?<params> and my custom server parses the request and executes the <script.vi>. Then to avoid the problems with HTTP protocol I write the redirecting request to the port 82 like <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=<result_page.html">. So, It works.
    The result_page.html must represent the acquired data from the Compact FieldPoint channels. So, I execute a requested script to show the specified data into Graph waveform and then to take a snapshot and to save to the Compact FieldPoint. Then the result_page.html contains the link to the saved snapshot picture.
    Once executing the requested VI script, the Invoke Node gives the error 1003 stating that "the VI is broken etc...". I think that is because of the script attempts to take a snapshot of a panel which doesn't exist...
    Maybe somebody has an idea how to view the acquired data in browser ?

  • How can I use a JPEG file as a background image for my vi in 8.5

    Im working on a vi that I plan on using as part of an alarm system.  I would like to use a JPEG file of my house as a background image for the vi, or possibly to just be displayed in a window on the control panel.  I have seen people use their own images before, but never looked at what this involved.
    Im trying to use the "read JPEG file" vi and the "draw flattened pixmap" vi to accomplish this.  The vi does run, but nothing shows on the front panel.  If I try to create an indicator from the "new picture" output of the "draw flattened pixmap" vi, I get an empty white window on the front panel.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    the earlier vi (using the JPEG) works fine. just increase the size of the picture control
    I figured this was the problem. And to the OP, I'm glad a bitmap worked, but no I didn't mean use any sort of LabVIEW programming at all. I meant open your image in Microsoft Paint, Press ctrl+A to select the whole thing. Then copy the image to the clipboard. Now select your front panel and press ctrl + v to paste it. No programming needed and the image is there. However, if you want to programmatically change it, you will need a picture control.

  • Writing the file using Write to SGL and reading the data using Read from SGL

    Hello Sir, I have a problem using the Write to SGL VI. When I am trying to write the captured data using DAQ board to a SGL file, I am unable to store the data as desired. There might be some problem with the VI which I am using to write the data to SGL file. I am not able to figure out the minor problem I am facing.  I am attaching a zip file which contains five files.
    1)      Acquire_Current_Binary_Exp.vi -> This is the VI which I used to store my data using Write to SGL file.
    2)      Retrive_BINARY_Data.vi -> This is the VI which I used to Read from SGL file and plot it
    3)      Binary_Capture -> This is the captured data using (1) which can be plotted using (2) and what I observed is the plot is different and also the time scare is not as expected.
    4)      Unexpected_Graph.png is the unexpected graph when I am using Write to SGL and Read from SGL to store and retrieve the data.
    5)      Expected_Graph.png -> This is the expected data format I supposed to get. I have obtained this plot when I have used write to LVM and read from LVM file to store and retrieve the data.
    I tried a lot modifying the sub VI’s but it doesn’t work for me. What I think is I am doing some mistake while I am writing the data to SGL and Reading the data from SGL. Also, I don’t know the reason why my graph is not like (5) rather I am getting something like its in (4). Its totally different. You can also observe the difference between the time scale of (4) and (5).

    Krishna_Files.zip ‏552 KB

    The binary data file has no time axis information, it is pure y data. Only the LVM file contains information about t(0) and dt. Since you throw away this information before saving to the binary file, it cannot be retrieved.
    Did you try wiring a 2 as suggested?

  • Using Write measurement to file There is a huge lag

    I have written a code where it simulates faults i.e the primary i/p the square wave would have a high duty cycle <thats not the problem>

    Such Kind of TimeOut to editing the first post but...
    "real time and the time it has processed"  
    That's correct.  
    The main reason of that is the Lack of Architecture in our code and overusing of Variables/Inner Loops/Bunch of Writing Files/Express VIs and one Fantastic DLL call... Everything in same Loop.
    Its an heavy computional intensive to process everything without correct using of dataflow concept (Especially in ur Case). I'm still frightened...  Anyway.
    Here some tips:
    Avoid Variables: They can lead Race Conditions in our code and made some copies of data in memory. 
    Avoid Stack Sequence Structures: Use DataFlow Concept to put everything in sequence
    Decouple Processes: Create one Loop to UI actions, one to Data Acquisition/Generation, one to Log Raw Data, one to Create Report and Perform some analysis.Create some mechanism with Queues/Notifier to inter process communication (See Queue Message Handler Architecture).
    Avoid Express VI: They are Inneficient,bad codded (Except File Dialog when there's one VI...) and put bunch of dependencies in your project. 
    Create SubVIs: Provide Modularity and code reuse.

  • How to view waveforms in DIAdem that were saved in Labview using "write waveforms to file" VI

    I'm new to DIAdem but would appreciate any help to my question.
    I seem to be having a little trouble but how do I view waveforms
    in DIAdem that were saved in Labview using "write waveforms to file" VI??
    tks, Terry

    Hello,
    There are several ways to write waveform data from LabVIEW so it can be accessed from DIAdem. Two of the easiest ways are to use either .lvm files or .tdm files. You can write .lvm files using the Write LabVIEW Measurement File.vi which is located in the File I/O palette. You can write .tdm files by using the storage VIs which are located in the File I/O >> Storage palette. So, I would recommend using either of these file formats if you are developing a new application since these can be loaded into DIAdem directly.
    If you are interested in loading files that where already created from the Write Waveforms to File.vi, I am wondering what file type you are using. For example are you saving your files as .dat or .txt with your Write Waveforms to File.vi? Feel free to reply to this thread with this information and I would be glad to help you out.

  • Main's open/replace/create file.vi but write in subvi

    I'm trying to initialize the opening of a file in my main vi, but I need to pass the refnum out of the [open/replace/create file] function to the refnum input of the [write file]subvi I'm calling. The refnum data needs to go through multiple structures to get to the subvi, but I'm having trouble getting laview to tunnel from the main to the subvi refnum input. I know there is a technique to pass by reference but I'm not sure how to do this.
    Anyone know the easiest way to due this?

    Two things, first check the code I posted you a little while ago. It might give you an idea of how to do things better.
    Second, it sounds like you could be heading down a wrong path. (It's always a bad sign when things start getting really, really complicated.) Could you post a bit of your code so I can see what you are trying to accomplish?

    I accidently replaced a file with another.  Can I undo my action? 
    I had two files named graphics.  One was on my desktop and another was within another file called solitarie.  I move the one on my desktop (wrong file) into the solitarie file and was asked if I wanted to replace the graphics file in the solitarie folder (the correct one).  I said yes accidently and then remembered that I had made a mistake.  If I use undo, it only move the wrong file back to the desktop.  Is there an undo of replace?

    Sorry, but's that's why you get the warning. "Replace" means just that - the new file over-writes the old one. There is no undo.

  • Bypassing the replace prompt when replacing a file that already exits

    I want to bypass the "replace prompt" when replacing the file I know already exits.  In the program when I ask it to replace 1 file I know it needs to replace several other different files.  I just want one original promt to replace the file and all other to be bypassed and just have the program replace the file without a promp.  The program uses several "write characters to file" vi and several write to spreedsheet file" vi.

    you can edit the write to spreadsheet and write characters nodes, they are plain VIs.
    Now simply wire a False diagram constant to the advisory dialog input of the open/create/replace node in each of the two mentioned VIs. Giive them a different icon (e.g. change the background color) and save them under a new name elsewhere. Save them in user.lib and they'll even show up in the user palette.

  • Replacing/relinking files over a network

    This might be an OS issue and not related to After Effects but I thought I would give it a shot here.
    I have a project that was created entirely with still images (almost 200,000) shot with a Canon 5D.  I converted the CR2 (RAW) to jpegs and edited the project in Final Cut Pro using those jpegs.  I then used Automatic Duck to send the FCP project to After Effects where I used the Batch n Replace script from aescripts.com (thanks Lloyd!) to replace the jpegs with the CR2 files for color correction.  The problem I'm running into is the script creates a new project where the CR2 files have replaced the jpegs, however everything is offline.  The images for each sequence are sorted into folders so I go to the first image in  a folder and tell AE to replace it with the proper file.  AE thinks for a bit and finds and replaces all of the other images in that folder.  Depending on how many images are in a particular folder, it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to several hours for AE to finish.  It took over 4 hours for AE to relink a project with 10 shots/images sequences containing over 12,000 images.
    All of the AE project files are shared via Dropbox with the other Mac Pro in my studio.  I opened one of the projects on the other computer and tried to relink to the CR2 files on my RAID over the network but I had to do each image one by one.  Is there a way to relink the files over the network the same way as if they were on my own computer?

    Thank you all for responding.
    DaveS,
    Ideally we would be able to work on two computers, sharing the project files via Dropbox.  As it stands now, we do have the same file paths on each computer for the images, just the work hard drives have different names.
    Computer 1: Hard Drive A: Project Folder: Project Stills: CR2 files
    Computer 2: Hard Drive B: Project Folder: Project Stills: CR2 files
    It does take a long time to relink the files but I think that is in large part due to the nature of the project.  Do you know of a way that could speed up this process?
    And it was a project with 12,000 still image footage items
    Dave L,
    The jpegs exported form Lightroom are 5616x3744.  FCP has a frame size limitation so I would make a sequence set to 4096x2731 and place the jpegs in there.  Think of those sequences as quicktime files.  I would use them to do the edit in my 2K sequence.  Once the edit was in AE, I would resize those 4K sequences to 5616x3744, tweak my edit/frame/scale as necessary.
    Mylenium,
    That article is pretty interesting, espceially since we have been talking about trying out the Blackmagic camera, however, working with quicktimes isn't an option for this project for various reasons.  If we were strictly editing on 1s we could do that but we often change parts of a single shot to 3s or 4s and will hold on a single image for a moment.  Going back and making new quicktimes everytime we wanted to make a change like that would probably be more time consuming than the issue we are having now.  And storage for 5K quicktimes would be an issue as well.
    When I wrote that first post, a deadline was approaching fast and we were worried we wouldn't make it but we did.  Now we have some time and are looking at ways to make this process as efficient as possible.  We are in the color correction and compositing stage so everything is mostly going to be done in AE. 
    The whole project is 40 minutes long and we have each scene as its own AE project.  When they are all combined into the master AE project, the file size is 1.5 GB and it takes over an hour to open.  Ideally, we wouldn't need to open that project very often, really only when we are doing exports.  Is there a way to bring that file size down while still retaining the RAW images.  Is there a way to somehow proxy the scene projects in the master project?  Do you know if Adobe is working on ways to improve working with CR2/RAW in AE?
    I know this a weird workflow and not really what AE was designed to do, but without spending $100,000+ at a high end post house, this is the best workflow we could come up with, while still retaining the RAW information.  We tried working with TIFFs but the sheer volume of images we have and each TIFF image averaging 100 MB it was too much of a storage burden.  If anyone has any suggestions to help with any of this or someone from Adobe can shed some insight, I will be forever grateful.

  • Find and replace in files does not refresh when changes are made

    Using RH10, I search for a term with the Find and Replace Options pod. I use the Find Results list as a reference only, and open each file from the Topic List. I do this instead of opening the topics from the Find Results tab because I want to see the WYSIWYG changes. Anyway, I make my edits and delete the search term from each topic. Then, to make sure I have done all the work, I run the search again. I expect to see no or at least fewer matches than before, but I still get some or all of the same results as before, even though I double-check the Design and HTML views of the topics and even check the source of a topic separately in Notepad, all indicating that the search term is gone from the topic.
    There is some ridiculous lingering or echo going on. I make sure to select Look in: <Current Project>, and the paths of all the Find Results files are fine. How do you refresh the search so that this echo doesn't occur?
    Also, I close the Find and Replace Options pod, reopen it and start the search again, and the same results are there.
    Message was edited by: DMilkes

    Hi there
    To avoid the message about the file being modified, close all topics in the editor before commencing with any find and replace operations. The message is produced because you have the aforementioned topics open in the editor.
    As you mention "Find and replace in files", I'm guessing you are referring to version 8. I just opened version 8 and performed a find and replace to confirm. There is a button allowing you to clear all.
    On the clicking and dragging to create a link, it's never worked that way. You simply cannot drag from the Topic List pod to do it. But you can from the Project Manager pod. Perhaps you should consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the ability to click and drag from the Topic List pod to create links.
    As far as rearranging your topics into different folders, as long as you do it from inside RoboHelp you shouldn't be destroying any links. RoboHelp will update references for you as you move things around. The only issue is if you are automatically creating your TOC structure based on the project structure. But usually that's a one time shot. From there forward you just manage things using the TOC editor.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick
