Saving chart data into a spreadsheet and also displaying it onto a table

I am having a few different problems with this VI.
My intentions are to display incoming data from the serial port, and view it on a chart as well as the table, then I want to save the data and the time values into a text or excel file.
Receiving data and charting it is fine but when it comes to displaying it in real time on the table it looks like the Express table seems to be duplicating some of the entries as noted in the block diagram and the regular table keeps updating the values (date/time and value) on the first entry.
Saving the data using write to spreadsheet file. vi poses some other problems when importing the History files from the Chart. It brings in the values except the date is the default NI date which I correct before going into the loop in order to accurately plot it on the display.
If I use the Export waveform to spreadsheet file.vi it saves the data in the text file just fine, but if I save it into an excel file the Y values and the time values are all in one column.
PLEASE Help

I think if you go to VI properties then go under Windows Size and uncheck the "Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions" you can get it to work.
If I open your VI in LabVIEW 8.5 or 8.2, the window title bar and menu bar, widow border, and scrollbar are all outside the visible region of my monitor, so I don't have access to anything. The FP even fully covers the task bar (set to autohide) so I cannot even get to the start menu. Even if I move the mouse to the lower screen border, it remains at the LabVIEW cursor. (This might actually be something that needs to be fixed in LabVIEW so it cannot happen!)
All I can do is ctrl+e to go to the diagram (which looked like a huge mess without a clear indication where I am supposed to look), and thus I quit the program. At least it's nice that you gave my a shiny star, even though I could not help you. Thanks!
As Dennis said, you need to familiarize yourself with the basics of dataflow. Building a 1D array with two elements and making this into a 1x2 2D array does not magically insert history data. You need to built the 2D array in a shift register or feedback node.

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

How to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system

Is there an easy way to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system? Some of the files are ~50MB each (instrument files). There are a total of ~1,500 records spread over about 5 tables.
Thanks

What problem are you having writing it to a file?
You can't use FORALL to write the data out to a file, you can only loop through the entries in the collection 1 by 1 and write them out to the file like that.
FORALL can only be used for SQL statements.

Clean install on new 1TB hdd, Yosemite keeps freezing when copying data from an ext drive and also from a usb

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out why my macbook keeps freezing when I try to drag my data across to it (even small files from a USB).
I've had to force restart over a dozen times today :/
I ran EtreCheck and there are a couple of issues (I've no idea what they mean).
If anybody could share some light into the report below I would be very grateful:

Thanks - I had a 1TB hdd in my macbook for about 12 months but it started playing up a few days ago (I got the question mark folder on bootup) so I bought another 1TB hdd (same model) and started from scratch.
My macbook is an early 2010... now I'm wondering if Yosemite is a bit too much for it?
The ext hdd is my timemachine backup, so yes I have used it often and it has my TM backups - and the usb is a new usb which Ive used a few times.
The issue seems to be when Im transferring files from an ext drive to my mac. I can use it fine and browse (worked find for 45 mins) then I tried to bring my data across.. and it copied a few gig over before total freeze.
This has happened about a dozen times.
I keep running disk utility and checking the disk. I also just ran the apple diagnostics tool that came in the apps cd - the hardware apears to be fine.
I have a 250 gb partition for the OS and the rest is my second partition for data.
I'm now wondering if I should reformat the first partition, install leopard from the CD, then upgrade to mavericks and leave it at that.
Any thoughts would be awesome. Thank you for reading and replying!

Saving XDP data into a Distributed PDF form

I have a distributed PDF form that I am able to save form data into.
I also have the XDP form data that I wish to populate using a program and open in Adobe Reader.
I need that form data to be saved into the PDF, so that I can send the PDF via email to someone, where they will fill out the rest and send it back.
I can programmatically open the XDP with adobe reader, but the form isn't automatically saved, which means the user would have to remember to save the data when closing the window. I would rather have something that is automated.
Is there a way to push the form data to the PDF without requiring the user to say Yes to a prompt?

Thanks for the response George. About the same moment when I created this post, I came accross an article online which provided same solution as that which you have mentioned. So, I made the PDF form "Reader-Enabled" using Acrobat Professional. The outcome is that using "Internet Explorer", I am now able to save information I type into the the online PDF form. However it still won't work if I use "mozilla firefox".
Do you have any idea why Mozilla firefox won't save the information typed into the online PDF form even when I have enabled reader function with Acrobat Professional?

Saving the data into the tab limited text file

please help me at the earliest possible , i want to store the data into an text file which is tab limited ,previously i was able to the same into the excel sheet using the jakarta HSSF POI , an open source library to store the data into the EXCEL sheet , now friends please tell me whether is there any other open source to store the data into the tab limited text file what i mean by tablimited is the data is to be saved as

How to enter a data into the specified column and row in a created table

Hi,
I want to enter some data to specified column and row in a already created table. Please let me know how to do this.
Regards
Shivakumar Singh

A table is just a 2D array of strings. Keep it in a shift register and use "replace array element" to modify the desired entry programmatically.
If you want to modify it manually and directly from the front panel, make it into a control and type directly into the desired element. (In this case your program would need to write to it using a local variable).
Atttached is a simple example in LabVIEW 7.0 that shows both possibilities.

Separating 16 bits of data into one 12 bit and one 4 bit channel

I have 16 bits of binary data and i'm trying to split these into one 12 bit and one 4 bit channel. I know that I could use something like:
Dim Channel1 : Set Channel1 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel1", eI16)
Channel1.Formatter.Bitmask = 4,095 'xxxx 1111 1111 1111
but, i'm not sure how to grab those 4 bits out of the 16 bit channel1 and make channel2. It's like i almost need to say something like:
Dim Channel2 : Set Channel2 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel2", eI16)
Channel2 = Channel1.Formatter.Bitmask = 61,440 '1111 xxxx xxxx xxxx
Can anyone help out???? thanks.

OK...This is still straightforward. Her is what you want to do :
CurrPos = File.Position ' remember where the block starts
Set Block = File.GetBinaryBlock()
' set up all channels which can be read directly
Dim Channel1 : Set Channel1 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel1", eU16)
Dim Channel2 : Set Channel2 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel2", eByte)
Dim ChannelPH : Set ChannelPH = Block.Channels.Add("Dummy", eU16) ' just a placeholder
Dim Channel5 : Set Channel5 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel5", eU16)
Dim Channel6 : Set Channel6 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel6", eByte)
' Now we need a block which has one channel only. This channel will be used to extract the bits.
' The block needs to start where the third schannel of the above block starts :
File.Position = CurrPos + 2+1 ' 2 for the U16 channel, 1 for the byte channel
Set Block = File.GetBinaryBlock()
' Set the scan width. This defines the gaps between the values of a channel
Block.BlockWidth = 2+1+2+2+1 ' U16 + Byte + U16 + U16 + Byte
Dim Channel3 : Set Channel3 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel3", eU16)
' .. apply bitmask and scaling (see my last example)
' Do the same for the second channel
Set Block = File.GetBinaryBlock()
' Set the scan width. This defines the gaps between the values of a channel
Block.BlockWidth = 2+1+2+2+1 ' U16 + Byte + U16 + U16 + Byte
Dim Channel4 : Set Channel4 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel4", eU16)
.. apply bitmask and scaling (see my last example)
Do the same for the second channel
I hope this works as expected. Let me know if you need more help...

Difference of fetching data, into a cursor variable and into a record?

whats the difference of fetching data via cursor, into a cursor variable and into a record.
i feel infact fetching data into cursor variable is more better, and plus lesser lines to code??

Can you explain what you mean, preferably with an example? Generally, you fetch data from a cursor, not into one. I'm assuming by "fetching into a record" you mean inserting into a table?

Fill data into a form programmatically and print the form afterwards

Folks,
until recently a lab assistant took measurements and filled the data into a paper form (see attached pdf). Now we are building a test stand that does the measurement semiautomatically. The software of the test stand will be programmed in LabVIEW, of course. The test stand shall generate a printed protocol very similar to the attached pdf in future as well.
What's the best way to fill the acquired data into the form and to print the form afterwards? The form can be read by our code in either pdf or html. There is no Microsoft Office installed on the computer.
Modifying the html code? Converting the pdf to a picture and fill the data into the picture? Any hint will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Hmmm... must have misunderstood what you were saying.
XSL is a language that allows you to generate an HTML document. The XSL basically defines the style, and the XML specifies the data. HTML is the combination. You can find out more here.
Unfortunately, since you don't have Office, you won't be able to use the ActiveX interface to control Word, so that's out.
With the template in HTML format you could use the DOM for an HTML file to set the value of the HTML elements. The easiest way to do this is to use IE (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) to open the HTML template and then you can use the DOM from there. As for how feasible this is, it would depend on your HTML format. Can you post the template in HTML format?
With the template in PDF format I know that some PDF files that are forms can be generated in such a way that they still act like forms when you open them in, say, Acrobat Reader. Acrobat has an ActiveX interface so you should be able to programmatically do this, but I can't say for sure. You can check the Adobe site for more info. You just need to make sure it doesn't require the full version of Acrobat.

Loading new xml data into a already xml populated image display

Hi everybody,
I have a question about loading new xml data into a already xml populated image gallery.
So I have my gallery set up so it calls some xml when it first loads. What I would now like to do is load different sets of images via a different xml sheet via the click of a button.
So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and user can click on them to view the full size image. So next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would just like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones from a different xml file.
If anybody can help me with this it would be great as I am still on a steep learning curve with AS3.
Here is my AS3
var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
var xml:XML;
var loader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
     if ((e.target as URLLoader) != null )
          xml = new XML(loader.data);
          createMenu();
var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
var menuItems:Array = new Array();
function createMenu():void
          numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
     var count:uint = 0;
          for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
          var imageLoader=new Loader();
          var menuItem:MenuItem = new MenuItem();
          menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
          imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
          menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
          menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
          menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
          menuItems.push(menuItem);
          addChild(menuItem);
          count++;
function ***():void
     //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
     for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
          setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);

Thanks so much for the reply Andrei1
I think maybe my lack of knowledge when it comes to AS3 is not helping me at the moment because I thought I understood the code you supplied but there is something not going quite right.
So I messed around with the code and added the new_loaded_thumbs_btn to load in the "new_pictures.xml" but I am def doing something wrong.
import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
var xml:XML;
var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
var menuItems:Array = new Array();
var loader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
loadXML("pictures.xml");
new_loaded_thumbs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadXML);
function loadXML(path:String):void {
     loader.load(new URLRequest("new_pictures.xml"));
function loadXML(path:String):void {
     loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
     xml = new XML(loader.data);
     createMenu();
function createMenu():void
     clearMenu();
     numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
     var count:uint = 0;
     var imageLoader;
     var menuItem:MenuItem;
     for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
          imageLoader = Loader();
          menuItem = new MenuItem();
          menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
          imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
          menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
          menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
          menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
          menuItems.push(menuItem);
          addChild(menuItem);
          count++;
     sortChildren();
// removes previously placed objects
function clearMenu():void {
     var menuItem:MenuItem;
     while (menuItems.length > 0) {
          menuItem = menuItems[0];
          removeChildAt(getChildIndex(menuItem));
          menuItem.shift();
function sortChildren():void
     //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
     for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
          setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);
When the image display 1st loads it displays the new_pictures.xml thumbs which I thought would load through my new button when clicked.
And there was me thinking I was getting the hang of AS3.
Could you please point me in the right direction in what I am doing wrong,
Thanks for your time and effort in advance

HT2329 How do I input my songs from my Ipod (old) into my Apple MAC and also into my Iphone?

I want to copy from IPOD to Itunes library so i can add or delete from my Ipod and also so I can load intyo my Iphone. I have over 600 songs and Itunes does not let me load these or create a library. it just wants to erase my songs and of course sell me new songs!

There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

Saving chart data and reload after restart of server?

Hi
I have a vi that communicate with another program called EES through DDE and sometimes EES mess up the server. My solution is to automatically restart the server once a day [this is good enough for me].
My question is: How do I get all my data in my charts to save and reload easiest?

Hi,
I think you may create a database table in your server and then pass your data to this table every time a new entry is made and calling the same from the database every time you run the VI after its restart. This can easily be done using the database connectivity tool-kit in the function palette.
Regards,
Nitz.

I am using Activex controls from Labview to log the data into Excel spreadsheet. My applica

tion is running fine without giving any error messages. But even after the vi stops, excel process does not shutdown. "Excel.exe" process keeps running until I end it from Windows NT Task Manager. Is there any way to end the excel.exe process from Labview?

tion is running fine without giving any error messages. But even after the vi stops, excel process does not shutdown. "Excel.exe" process keeps running until I end it from Windows NT Task Manager. Is there any way to end the excel.exe process from Labview?I use Excel Active X control frequently to save and then analysis test data. In order to properly destroy the "Excel.exe" process it is important to close all the automation refnums opened when using the Excel active x controls. After completing your desired Excel task wire all the refnums in reverse order they were created into the Automation Close function in Functions->Communication->Active X pallette. This includes all Application, Workbook, Worksheet, or Range refnum. Missing even one of these refnums will mean that Excel.exe will still persist in the task manager and cause problems when excel is opened from outside LabVIEW. I hope this helps.
