Saving multiple numeric indicators

Hi all,
Im new to Labview and know there is a simple way around this problem Im having.  I cannot seem to save more than 1 numeric value from my numeric indicator using the Write measurement file.  Im wondering what a simple code might look like, thanks in advance,

Really hard to tell you what to change without seeing what you have done. Either you need to place it inside you loop or make sure you build an array to pass out of the loop.
Please spend some time and take LabVIEW 101.

  • Multiple Numeric Limit Test Names

    How do I get the names of the Measurements of Multiple Numeric Limit from inside the VI that is doing the test.
    I wish to edit them to reflect the measurement that I am making.
    I can find and change the name of the step, but can't see where the name of the measurements are.
    Thanks
    Omar

    Hello Omar.
    Your VI can do this by
    (1) Get the number of array elements contained in "Step.Result.Measurement".
    (2) Get each array elements property "Name".
    The attached VI was saved with LabVIEW 7.1.

  • Is it possible to insert numerical indicators in 3D picture

    Hello,
    Let's say I have a *.wrl file which contains a room drawing.  Take into account that I know how manipulate the SceneObject and display it into 3D picture.  Is it possible to position different temperature indicators (numerical indicators) in the 3D Picture indicator, so that when I move around the room in the 3D picture the indicators follow there respective position (while updating their values) ?
    Thanks,
    Michel
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A trick that I know is to get the image of the control you want and apply texture to a plane. I did this below:
    In short what I did is:
    1. Create a room using a box. Make it transparent and blend with other objects
    2. Create a plane (a box with y = 0.001) and apply texture to it. The texture is the image of the control (the temperature control)
    3. Do the scene and change the image (texture) as the value changes
    4. close references.
    Here is the code as a reference (using LV 2013). Does that work for you?

    Hi all
    Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
    I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
    That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
    Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
    Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
    Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
    I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
    However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
    You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

  • Import/export properties of multiple numeric limit steps

    Hello
    I have a question to the property loader and the import/export tool in TestStand 3.5.
    When I want to export the limits of a sequence with multiple numeric steps with the import/export tool, I press the Limits button to include the limits into the 'selected' field of the properties tab. But for the multiple numeric step the limits are included not for all indices but only once with an question mark instead of an index (Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Low, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.High, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Comp).
    The property loader step acts the same way. 
    What can I do ?
    Thanks
    Olli

    Hi Olli,
    For the multiple numeric limit test, you will need to individually specify which numeric limits you want to export. Lets suppose you have 3 sets of limits for your multiple numeric limit test. If you wanted to export the first set, you would use the syntax
    Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.Low
    Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High
    You will need to do this for each set of limits you have in your array. Simply replace the "?" with the index of the element in the array.
    Hope this helps!

  • Multiple Numeric Limit Test - Evaluate Post and Status Expression

    We have a Multiple Numeric Limit Test where the limits for one of the measurements is a function of one of the other measurements.
    In the Post-Expression there are two expressions that set the low and high limit based on one of the readings.
    But the comparison does not seem to be using the calculated limits.
    The report file shows the correct calculated Low and High Limits, and shows the measured reading as being in between the Low and High limit, but fails that measurement. I feel the Status Expression is using the default limits that are out of range.
    The post expression looks like this
    Step.Result.Measurement[2].Limits.Low=Step.NumericArray[1]*1.9,
    Step.Result.Measurement[2].Limits.High=Step.NumericArray[1]*2.1
    In Table 3-4 "Order of Action that a Step Performs", Evaluate Post-Expression (Action #15) is before Evaluate Status Expression (Action #16), but it seems that is not the case.
    Or am I changing the wrong Low and High Limits. Am I just changing the Limits used in the report file and not the limits used for comparison?
    Again the correct low and high limits are in the report but not used for comparison. 
    Thanks

    Digging into the NI step type for Multiple Numeric Limit Test, I find that the comparison is done at Post-Step substep which is before my Post Expression is evaluated to set the correct limits.
    So I have added code to my VI module to set the limits after taking the measurements but before returning to TestStand.

  • Custom Looping Multiple Numeric Limit Test SequenceFilePostStepFailure

    Hi
    I am using a custom loop on Multiple Numeric Limit Test. The SequenceFilePostStepFailure callback is called each time the loop fails and called again when the step fails.
    I want to do something (not relevant for this question) when it is looping and something else when the step fails. How do I know the difference? Is there any flag to look for?
    I have tried looking at several variables under RunState but haven’t found the right one. Is there one?
    Thanks in Advance
    Kim

    Kim,
    Try Runstate.Caller.Step.Looptype you can compare this to NoLooping.  If NoLooping then the step doesn't loop.  You can also use Runstate.Caller.Step to get a Step object and then just use the API calls to manipulate it.  You can read about it in the TS help.  To get the loopindex try: Runstate.Caller.Loopindex.
    Both should be ran in the SequenceFilePostStepFailure Callback.

  • Execution order of Multiple Numeric Limit Test?

    What is the execution order of "Multiple Numeric Limit Test" in TestStand 2010?
    I am using a custom steptype of Multiple Numeric Limit Test. I want to manipulate the input parameter. How can I do that. I am not interested in making a new steptype. I am writing in Post-Expressions and the data is manipulated as they should but it is not evaluated. I is evaluated before the Post-Expressions executes.
    For example I am writing: Step.NumericArray[0]= Step.NumericArray[0]*1000/(2.5-Step.NumericArray[0])
    The execution order when looking at the TS manual at page 3-13 is Evaluate Post-Expression before Evaluate Status expression. But it is not what I see. I have also tryed using the more simple Numeric Limit Test and it works as I expect it to according the manual.
    Anyone knows about any workaround for that?

    Hi Ray
    Thanks for your reply
    I have tried writing what you are suggesting: Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data= Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data*1000/(2.5-Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data)
    Still it evaluates the step before the post-Expression. When I am looking at the variables at runtime the Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data is having the correct value but it seems to evaluate the step before the Post-Expressions.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Can I exclude measurement (of multiple numeric limit test) from results ?

    I'm working on test where instrument returns multiple results at one call.
    I use NI MultipleNumericLimitTest -step type (TS 2.0.1).
    In some cases I'd like to exclude certain measurement from the results.
    I could do this for example by setting Comparison type of selected measurement to "No Comparison", so that this measurement is assumed to PASS always.
    Is there any property flag or any other way to exclude measurement from the results completely ?
    (So I don't want this measurement to affect on multiple limit test status or to appear in the report)
    cheers,
    Masi

    Hi!
    Yes, there is a property that you can set/reset that specifies whether the property appears in the report or not.
    1. Right click on your multiple numeric step and select View Contents
    2. From the tree view, browse to YourStep->Results->Measurement.
    3. Right click Measurement and select properties.
    4. Click the Advanced button and look for the PropFlags_IncludeInReport flag and uncheck it.
    That's it, now your measurements will not appear in the report. If you want some of the measurements (but not all) to be included in the report, then browse to the specific measurement YourStep->Results->Measurement[i], and check the PropFlags_IncludeInReport flag for that property.
    I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.

  • Different decimal point character for numeric limit test vs multiple numeric test with database logging

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with decimal point character and database logging.
    I've deselected "Use Localized Decimal Point" in Station Options->Localization. Teststand should now use "." as decimal point character (ignore the "'s).
    When logging to database this is only true for Multiple numeric limit test results, not for Numeric limit test results.
    Numeric limit test results use "," as decimal point character where it should be "."
    I can't trust the localization settings on the PC as different endusers might have different settings.
    Example:
    (STEP_NAME and PROP_RESULT.DATA)
    Numeric limit test 1,50127667932332
    Multiple numeric limit test result_1 1
    Multiple numeric limit test result_2 1
    Multiple numeric limit test result_3 10.0304317
    I've changed the Limits->Numeric format for each test but this change is only applied to the report, not the database result.
    Read the manuals but didn't find anything...
    Have I missed something obvious, or is this some kind of bug?
    Teststand version is 2010.
    Windows versions are XP SP3 and Win7. Same behavior on both OS.

    When something is logged to the database as a number, the database is probably storing it in a way that is independent of any sort of decimal point localization. When you view the items in the database however it is probably going to show you the number based on the current locale settings. This is likely purely cosmetic, for display purposes.

  • I have an array of clusters of 4 numeric indicators and i want to plot 2 of them in a xy graph for the entire array? How can you seperate out 2 of the indicators of each cluster for the entire array

    I have keithley 238 SMU, which when used in sweep mode returns the value in a array of cluster of 4 numeric indicators of which 2 are voltage and current and other two are step size and delay....I want to plot

    Hello aby
    this could be a possible solution to separate 2 values from an array of 4 elements clusters an create 2 arrays suitable for graphing.

  • New Message Saved Multiple Times In Drafts Folder

    I know that while I'm composing an email the program automatically saves a copy of that message to the drafts folder. This copy is updated while I'm composing the message. But recently, as I'm composing a message, the same composition is saved multiple times in the Drafts folder. So, if it took me 10 or 15 minutes to compose an email I'll have at least 4 or 5 separate copies of the email in different stages saved to my Drafts folder. When I send the email it will save a copy in my Sent folder, but won't remove the same email from my Drafts folder.
    Has anyone else had a problem like that? Have suggestons on what's going on and how to fix it?
    Thanks...

  • Exporting/Loading properties for Multiple Numeric steps

    So, my test uses quite a few 'Multiple Numeric' test steps.
    I am just looking at using the property loader to import all of these limit values.
    Now as i understand each test step in the property file (excel im y case) must have multiple columns (for each index in the data array)
    I also understand that the easiest way to generate the excel properties file is to export it before adding the values.
    Now, I am using the 'tools - import/export properties' window, and i try to add Step.Result.Measurement[x].Limits.Low but it is not available.
    There is an entry for Step.Result.Measurement[?].HighExpr, so i can add that, then change it to [0], [1] etc
    Is there not a way to add all of the array items at once?
    I need '.comp' '.Limits.Low' '.Limits.High' for each array element.
    Have i missed something obvious?
    Labview 2010, TestStand 2010

    Hi, I;m using 2010.
    I'll give a more specific case:
    In one of my multiple numeric tests i have the limit expression : Step.Result.Measurement["ck1+"].Limits.High
    (I even tryed removing the alias and using : Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High)
    This can be found in the expression browser tree.
    But this does not appear in the tree of expressions when using the properties import/export window.
    The only items that do are: Result.Measurement[?].Limits.LowExpr & Result.Measurement[?].Limits.HighExpr
    i have tried manual editing entries there, but they are ignored when exporting.

  • Combine "Pass/Fail" and "Multiple numeric limet" tests

    Hi,
    how is it possible to combine a pass/fail and a multiple numeric limit test?
    I know that you can create your own step types and so I already combined these two steps. But now i can only observe the numeric limits. Regardless of the pass/fail source ("Edit Pass/Fail Source") TestStand only looks at the numeric limits. If they are ok the test is passed. If not, it is failed. It does not matter if "Step.Result.PassFail" is True or False.
    What is the problem, or do i make any mistakes?
    Thanks for your help
    Daniel

    Hi,
    You will need to include the Step.Result.PassFail in the Status Expression. Probably at the moment you only have the NumericLimitTest Status expression in your combined step type. You will need to changed the Status Expression to match your requirement which will give you an overall Pass Fail for your step type.
