S03 or S04 - output data of Diadem 9.1

Hi,
maybe a very silly question from an inexperienced user:
- until now we always got a S03 data file after closing the experiment.
- now, a student was working at the system, with the consequence that we obtain S04 data files always.
We are neither able to reset to S03 nor do we recognize any difference during evaluation.
What is the difference between S03 and S04?
Where can I find information about it? (The "Help" does not help.)
Thank you for answers.

Hi Brad,
there is no .TDM file created by the .dac file. All the header informations are stored in a .DAT file.
The name of this .DAT file is always the same as the name of the binary files and they are all located in the same folder.
Now i append a .zip file with three .dac files and one data file for input. Maybe you can try it on one of your systems. We use Diadem Version 9.1
"storedat.dac" is the demo file included in Diadem 9.1. It creates three signals and stores them into a file named "storedat".
I get three files "storedat.W03", "storedat.D03" and "storedat.DAT". I think .W03 means Word16 and .D03 means Real64. .DAT is the header file.
"storedac1.dac" is also the demo file with two changes.
Two signal blocks are clocked with a seperate clock block.
The signals are then syncronized with a signal copy block and stored in the file "storedat".
Now i get two files "storedat.D03" and "storedat.DAT". Maybe the signal copy block converts everything to Real64 and we need no file for Word16 format.
"storedac2.dac" has a third change.
I read one channel from the external data file "idat.dat" and mix it with the other signals.
Now i get also two files. "storedat.D04" and "storedat.dat". Maybe the same reason as with "storedac1.dac" but why .D04 (also Real64) and not .D03.
It looks like "DIAdemo" writes: Changing the .dac file can change the extension of the resulting data files. But maybe you can explain me the
reason therefore.
Thank you again
Josef

Data interpreter for loading of DASYLAB data into DIADEM

Can NI deliver a data interpreter for loading DASYLAB data into DIADEM?

Hi zzzz,
It is my understanding that DasyLab has the ability to write DIAdem *.DAT files. This I have gathered from the fact that US customers have sent me *.DAT data files generated by their DasyLab version, in which several properties are called by their German names. So I assume the DasyLab *.DAT file output was originally written for a German audience, but the data made it over just fine. I suppose that could have been a special feature of their particular DasyLab, but check if you can output *.DAT files with yours. If not, please write back.

How do I make a VI that contols a 6534 card take less time to load 1Mbyte and output data ?

Hello-
I'm developing a pattern generation burst mode type VI that reads byte characters from a text file, manipulates the bytes that it reads and then outputs the data from a 6534 card. The REQ1 pin is pulled high which makes the card continually output data until the internal buffer is empty. An internal clock is used. The problem is that the size of the file that is read by the VI can be relatively large, in the 1MByte range. After the VI manipulation, the output array is 16 times larger than the input string. So, when the VI reads a 1MByte text file, the output array contains 16 million entries (each array entry is 3 bits by the way). It takes about 20 seco
nds to run and output data from the 6534 even when reading files that are 200kbyte or so. I'm outputting the data at 5Mbps. I'm not sure where all the delay is coming from. Using the 'Profile VI" function under the 'Tools' menu shows a snapshot of time that really doesn't help me since it only shows that the time is spent in my VI. Is this just the result of loading large files ? Or, is there a way to preload the 1MByte file into the 32MB of RAM on the 6534 card before the VI is actually run. What I mean is that I do have the option in my system to have a time when all text files will somehow be loaded into the 6534 memory, during some initialization period, and then the VI would be run with the text file already loaded. This of course assumes that the delay is loading the file from the harddrive, but since the harddrive transfer speed is fast, I have no idea where to speed things up. Any ideas ? Thanks !

Your question actually belongs to the Measurement Devices >> Digital IO section since it concerns operating the 653x family of digital boards. You will see other related questions and answers there. In the future, please direct your digital questions to that forum.
If you are trying to profile your VI, you can break it into different pieces. For instance, you can make a subVI out of the file data manipulation.
Now, are you doing pattern generation or burst mode handshaking output? From your description of the signal connections, it looks like burst mode. You can double-check in the 653x User Manual at the http://www.ni.com/manuals pages. Still, it looks like you could accomplish your task with pattern generation. There are example VIs for both operations that
I suggest you start with. They are located in the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> Digital >> 653x.llb directory.
It also sounds like you are doing a single buffered operation, where you have a set amount of data that you want to output, and once done, the VI will stop. You are preloading the data to the buffer at DIO Write.vi before the 6534 actually outputs the data with DIO Start.vi when you program like the examples.
Thus, start with the appropriate example and then add the File I/O to it. You can even test with a smaller file to see the effects. You will also find useful information concerning the 6534 in the KnowledgeBase, particularly KnowledgeBase 298CGF9M "How Many Samples of Data Can I Store in the Onboard Memory of the NI 6534?". You can find this online by going to the http://www.ni.com/support and choosing KnowledgeBase from the Technical Resources pull-down menu. Then, type in keywords to search for, such as "6534".

How can I convert output data (string?) from GPIB-read to an 1D array?

Hello all,
I am reading a displayed waveform from my Tektronix Oscilloscope (TDS3032) via the GPIB Read VI. The format of the waveform data is: positive integer data-point representation with the most significant byte transferred first (2 bytes per data point).
The output data of GPIB-Read looks like a string(?) where the integer numbers and a sign like the euro-currency sign are seperated by spaces e.g. #5200004C3 4 4 4 4 3C3C3........ (C represents the euro-currency sign).
How can I convert this waveform data into a 1D/2D array of real double floatingpoint numbers (DBL) so I can handle the waveform data for data-analysis?
It would be very nice if someone know the solution for this.
t
hanks

Hi,
First of all, I'm assuming you are using LabVIEW.
The first you need to do is parse the string returned by the instrument. In this case you need to search for the known symbols in the string (like the euro sign) and chop the string to get the numeric strings. Here are some examples on parsing from www.ni.com:
Keyword Search: parsing
Once you parse the numeric strings you can use the "String/number conversion VIs" in the String pallette.
Hope this helps.

Output data to txt file with full length of the field as in database

Hi
I have a problem related to output data I ntxt file on server
for eg
CONCATENATE
wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno
wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext
wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1
wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text SEPARATED BY ''.
the output is separated by single space irrespective of database length of the field , I want to display all the lenth of the database field eventhough the remaining space is blank ie if a field is 20 char in dtabase and only filled with 6 char the whole 20 char lenth should be displayed in the output file
ouput as below
required format ie space equvalent to as in database lenght
000001       700006               C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd.so on.
my format as coming single space in between only
000001 700006 C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd
pls suggest

For this maintain an work area with the fields and structure same as the one which you want.
ten populate the work are and write to file.
concatenate will not work.
e.g.
DATA: begin of wa_sagadr_text,
          seqno like wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno,
          bpext like wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext,
          name_org1 like wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1,
          country like wa_sagadr_outtab-country
          end of wa_sagadr_text,
clear wa_sagadr_text.
wa_sagadr_text-seqno = wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno.
wa_sagadr_text-bpext= wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext.
wa_sagadr_text-name_org1 = wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1.
wa_sagadr_text-country = wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text.
transfer wa_sagadr_text to outputfile
or write:/ your fields.

How to output data to a file in SCC-SG04?

I am using SCC-2345 with SCC-SG04 connected to NI-6221 in Windows 2000 in VC6.
How to output data to a file like data1.dat in VC6 or in Labwindows/CVI?

Hello mwibm,
If you just want to do file input/output in LabWindows/CVI, I would take a look at the Formatting and I/O CVI library or the ANSI File I/O functions. For example, if you just want to write an array of data to a file, I would look at the ArrayToFile function or the fwrite/fputs/fprintf ANSI C functions included in stdio.h. The ANSI C functions will also work in Visual Studio. More information on the LabWindows/CVI File I/O functions can be found in CVI help, and more information on ANSI C functions can be found in CVI Help and online at various websites.
Maybe you could further clarify what problems you are having and what kind of data you want to write to a file.
Thanks.

Plotting data in diadem via LV

Is it possible to plot data in diadem by specifying the x and y axes values from LV at runtime? I am looking for a solution something like:
1. Load data into Diadem(give the command from LV).
2. Load layout into diadem(give the command from LV).
3. Specify the channels to be plotted from LV.
4. Plot data
5. Stop
Thanks,
Yash
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Yash,
Please can you have a look at this piece of example code, I think it does what you have requested.
You will need to build up a customised array to insert the different channels. You will also need to know the name of your axis system in DIAdem, you can find this by hovering over the axis system in the report view of DIAdem and looking in the status bar at the bottom left of the application window.

HI,
When i download,only one output i will get.
But,if i double-click the particular record it will show another output. I want that output also.
Like that,when i double-click particular record, it will show some other alv ouput based on record,
i wanted all those outputs.

Pivoting date data in Diadem - summarising data by grouping

Hi,
Is there a way to summarise date data in Diadem?
For example, if I have a file with the following headings:
Date/time, on/off, duration
The Date/time column is recordrded in date, hours and seconds,
the on/off is either 1 or 0
duration is the difference in time values when on/off is 1.
Is there a way to summarise the date data by day or possibly by month? (The corresponding numbers in 'duration' would need to be assigned to the appropriate day or month)?
The equivalent calculation tool would be a pivot table in Excel.
Look foward to a response.

Hi Brad,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have attached a file in the code section with some data. (Apologies for this, but the NI website said the content did not match the filetype). (I will try and get this right and send the attachement as an excel file. DIADEM should be able to read in the text file).
The columns are as follows: Event, Date,Time,Duration On,State.
(please note 1) that in the 'event' column there are 5 boilers - good for pivoting once grouped per boiler,
2) that 'State' is either a save or a bypass - also good for pivoting i.e. which days and boilers were in bypass, and which days and boilers were in save)
I would like to be able to summarise the data as follows:
Show a period(group by month or year) the sum of the Duration On, then display the result on a monthly histogram showing for example daily Duration On vs date.
Then
on an annual histogram showing for example monthly Duration On vs month.
As the last part of the exercise, how can I break out doing the 2 steps about for each of the 5 seperate boilers and show when each of the boilers were in a save or a bypass?
(Is a pivot table in excel required or can all the data processing be done in DIADEM?)
I appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
Sincerely
HotCold

Filter output data according to portal current user name in omni portlet

hello
i think you cannot use the portal built-in packages inside omni portlets. Omni portlets is designed to connect to other data source (not only oracle) and Portal API might not be available at these data sources. Therefore, you should not be using these Packages at all!. i tried very hard, but to no avail.. Omni portlet has its own repository!! if you cannot pass the infomration as a parameter, then find a different approach

This is because the Omniportlet is actually operating within a different context--a separate database connection from the Portal connection. We have similar issues with Java portlets. You might try creating a public parameter on the portlet, then mapping that to the system variable USER (done on the Parameters tab of the page where you deploy it--if you don't see a parameters tab, you must enable Parameters and Events at the page group properties level). I haven't tested any of this, but it should get you going in the right direction.
