Saving data from graph/chart to use next time a VI is run

Hi all!
I am not sure if this is even possible, or whether someone has maybe
done something like this. I need to save the data from a graph or chart
during each run of a VI. I then want to call this data back into the Vi
the next time it is run so it can be displayed at the same time that
the VI runs. I need to do this in order to compare measurements from
different setups during each measurement. This way I will have a
reference to be able to observe what influences different changes in
the system has had in comparison to a previous test.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the help!

There are a few points to this.
First, you need to decide whether you want to save the data or just hold it in memory. Saving it to the hard drive will be more complex, depending on the format of your data, but you can search for "file" in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) and look at the VIs in the file I\O palette.
If you simply want to hold the data in memory until the next time the VI is run, you can simply use a local variable or a shift register. You can search the example finder for "shift register" for some examples.
The key to what you want is using multiple plots on your graph\chart. When you do, you can take the data from your last run and simply insert it into the graph as an extra plot, which will be visible at the same time as your new data. Again, search the example finder, this time for "graph" or "chart" to see how to work with multiple plots.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
Try to take over the world!

How to extract the data from the chart. Data were not saved

Hi everyone. Beginners question, but could not find an answer to it
How can I get the numerical data from the chart. Chart is already on the screen and data vere not saved into file during VI run. All I have - just chart, but I need numbers
Thanks

You can still do it, the process just changes a bit...
Copy the control to a new VI as before, and change it into a control.
Create the diagram shown in the attached screen shot.
Run the new VI. You will get two arrays: one of x-axis values and one of y-axis values.

Saving Data from ALV.

hi all.
I have an issue regarding saving data from alv to data base table.
The problem is like this. I have an internal table consist of 10 column from three diferent tables.one primary key is there.
now i have displayed it in alv grid. there is a column of quantity. i made some changes in quantity of some rows. now i want to save it into the database table from which that quantity field fetched.
i used first check_changed_data method. if the flag is set it means data is changed.
wat shud i do to save that quantity column into data base.
Thanks In advance.
varu

Hi,
To modify database or ztable from the ALV grid,you need to do the following:
---You have to modify the field Catalog fields (fields that you want to make editable).Set the field EDIT as 'X'.For example if you want to make the field below editable:
ls_fcat-fieldname = 'CARRID'.
ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
APPEND ls_fcat TO pt_fieldcat.
---Call the method below before you call the set_table_for_first_display.
CALL METHOD ALV_GRID_INSTANCE->set_ready_for_input
EXPORTING
i_ready_for_input = 0. ( For Display ) and ('1' for Edit )
After this put the set_table_for_first_display.
Now if the ALV data has changed,and you want to change the database or ztable,then in your pf status give a function code for SAVE button in the GUI.
In the PAI of the screen,in user command module write the following:
WHEN 'SAVE'.
call method gr_alvgrid->check_changed_data
importing e_valid = l_valid.
if l_valid = 'X'.
MODIFY spfli FROM TABLE itab_spfli.
endif.
(l_valid is a flag.
DATA:l_valid type c.
If you want to check if the user has entered any value on the grid, use the Method : CALL METHOD gr_alvgrid->check_changed_data.
This method returns a flag l_valid which can be checked to see if the data on the ALV grid has been changed or not.)

Beejal

How do I convert a 1-D array of cluster of 5 elements into a 2-D array of numbers? (history data from a chart)

Hello,
in my vi I have a chart with 5 Plots displaying measurement data.
The user should be able to save all the history data from the chart at anytime. (e.g. the user watches the chart and some event happens, then he presses a "save"-button)
I know, that I can read out the history data with a property node. That is not the problem. The problem is, how do I handle the data? The type of the history data is a 1-D array of cluster of 5 elements.
I have to convert that data somehow into a 2 D-array of numbers or strings, so that I can easily save it in a text-file.
How do I convert a 1-D array of cluster of 5 elements into a 2-D array of numbers?
I use LabVIEW 7.1

Gerd,
thank you for the quick response and the easy solution.
Look what I did in the meantime. I solved the problem too, but muuuch more complicate :-)
And I have converted the numbers to strings, so that I can easily write them into a spreasheet file.

I pull fiftyfour bytes of data from MicroProcessor's EEPROM using serial port. It works fine. I then send a request for 512 bytes and my "read" goes into loop condition, no bytes are delivered and system is lost

I pull fiftyfour bytes of data from MicroProcessor's EEPROM using serial port. It works fine. I then send a request for 512 bytes and my "read" goes into loop condition, no bytes are delivered and system is lost

Hello,
You mention that you send a string to the microprocessor that tells it how many bytes to send. Instead of requesting 512 bytes, try reading 10 times and only requesting about 50 bytes at a time.
If that doesn�t help, try directly communicating with your microprocessor through HyperTerminal. If you are not on a Windows system, please let me know. Also, if you are using an NI serial board instead of your computer�s serial port, let me know.
In Windows XP, go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, and select HyperTerminal.
Enter a name for the connection and click OK.
In the next pop-up dialog, choose the COM port you are using to communicate with your device and click OK.
In the final pop
-up dialog, set the communication settings for communicating with your device.
Type the same commands you sent through LabVIEW and observe if you can receive the first 54 bytes you mention. Also observe if data is returned from your 512 byte request or if HyperTerminal just waits.
If you do not receive the 512 byte request through HyperTerminal, your microprocessor is unable to communicate with your computer at a low level. LabVIEW uses the same Windows DLLs as HyperTerminal for serial communication. Double check the instrument user manual for any additional information that may be necessary to communicate.
Please let me know the results from the above test in HyperTerminal. We can then proceed from there.

How to exctract data from a report to use it in a process

Hi! I would like to know how to exctract data from a report to use it in a process. Let's say that I have a report which have following fields: id_person, name_person. And then, I want to make a process which introduce the id_person (from report) into an associative tabel. How can I reffer to the fields from my report?
I was thinking about something like that( this should be the code from my process)
insert into associative_table(id_person)
values(id_person) or
insert into associative_table(id_person)
values(Report_name.id_person) but it doesn't work....
Thank you very much.

Another option, use collections.
Create an on load process that loads all the rows you would have in your report into a collection:
begin
HTMLDB_COLLECTION.CREATE_OR_TRUNCATE_COLLECTION(
p_collection_name => 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS' );
for x in (SELECT CONTACT_ID, CONTACT_FNAME, CONTACT_LNAME
FROM CONTACT
WHERE InStr( pkg_CalendarMgr.f_FetchContactIDsForDay( TO_DATE( :P3_CALENDAR_DT, 'YYYYMMDD' ), 'OF' ), CONTACT_ID ) > 0 )
loop
htmldb_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS',
p_c001 => x.CONTACT_ID,
p_c002 => x.CONTACT_FNAME,
p_c003 => x.CONTACT_LNAME);
end loop;
end;
Then, instead of your report selecting from the table, have it select from the collection, this way your display will match what's in the collection:
SELECT c001, c002 || Chr(32) || c003 CONTACT_NAME, 'Remove' remove
FROM htmldb_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS'
ORDER BY c003, c002
Then you can have a button on the form that steps through the collection, one element at a time and does whatever you want it to.

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

Hi,
fist check weather any special characteristics if not
check in data source under this we have fields tab check the format of a particular field format internal/external/check u choose internal format, if any check routine once
use Semantic Groups in the DTP.
Try it

Error while retrieving data from PL/SQL Table using SELECT st. (Urgent!!!)

Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 8.1.6 Server, & facing problems while retrieving data from a PL/SQL Table:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS
TYPE tP2 is TABLE of varchar2(10); --declared a collection
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST(dt2 as tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
While executing the above procedure, I encountered foll. error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [15419], [severe error during PL/SQL execution], [], [],
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [pfrrun.c:pfrbnd1()], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [0]
Can anyone please help me, where the problem is??
Is it Possible to retrieve data from PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement? & How ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.

Thanks Roger for the Update.
It means that have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE in database then only I can fire a Select statement on that TYPE.
Actually I wanted to fire a Select statement on the TABLE TYPE, defined & declared in PLSQL stored procedure using DECLARE TYPE .. TABLE & not using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE.
I was eager to know this, because my organization is reluctant in using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE defined in the database, so I was looking out for another alternative to access PL/SQL TABLE using Select statement without defining it database. It would have been good if I could access a PLSQL TABLE using Select statement Declared locally in the stored procedure.
Can I summarize that to access a PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement, I have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE?
If someone have any other idea on this, please do let me know.
Thanks a lot for all help.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.
You have to define a database type...
create type tP2 is table of varchar2(10)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC
IS
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST (dt2 AS tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
This will work.

How do I recover data from a single App using an iTunes backup and put it back on my iPhone?

An app I use (Text Me 2) automatically cleared conversation history. I have an iTunes back-up of it from last year. I tried searching a ton and found articles, but never found a step-by-step article from start to finish describing how I can get only that app's data back on my iPhone without having to restore the entire thing (otherwise I lose all of my last 6 months of content)? All the articles I read stopped after using the iPhone backup extractor to extract, and didn't tell me how to get that back onto my iPhone. I use iTunes on Mac OS Mavericks also.
Thanks in advance!

Then what's with all of the programs these two responses mention and being able to restore a single app data?
If you know you are going to do this in advance and have a jailbroken phone, use AppBackup which you can get through cydia. Otherwise, if this need arises after having restored already, you can get the data from an iPhone backup using iPhone Backup Extractor and/or a Time Machine backup (you can google to find the location of the backups, but I think it's in Application Support > Mobile Sync > Backups), and then restore the documents/library folders of the application using iExplorer (which is by the same people who made iPhone Explorer but was changed for legal reasons and now is slightly more user friendly and suited for this purpose. I just did this to restore my Angry Birds scores/data among other things.
and
I do that with iTools. You can backup each app with its data into an ipa file to the computer, to restore it individually. This allows you to merge apps with its data from different backups.
...not to mention I found several answers like this in various forums...

It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.
