Sending binary file via RS232 connection

Hi,
I want to send a binary file via RS232 connection but I have troubles reading the .bin file and then converting the data to string in order to send it via RS232. Any ideas how i can deal with this?
Thanks in advance,
IG.

It is hard to help then you do not post any code. I suggest you go to the toolbar then help. Then you select Find Examples. Search for files. Also since you are new to Labview always have context help enabled. Both tools are important if you want to learn Labview. Feel free to post again if you are stuck.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How does one send a file via UDP?

I need to send a binary file via UDP. The file has 99 32-bit binary words of data. How do I input the data to the UDP write command? I don't want to send the data sequentially..I would like to send all 99 words in a single UDP transmission. TIA.
-jlivermore

Something to be careful of is that while UDP is fast, it is not secure. You can lose packets and there is no way for the sender or receiver to know it was lost. Because UDP doesn't have a "connection" like TCP does, the sender doesn't know if the data is going anywhere and the receivers have no way of knowing if anything is being sent.
Picture a radio station. A guy working the night shift hopes there is someone somewhere listening to his broadcast, but he doesn't know. Likewise, if you turn on a radio and hear nothing but static, you may be listening to a frequency where there are no stations broadcasting, or the station transmitter might be off the air, or there might be interference keeping you from hearing the signal, but again you don't know which.

Send binary file using xml

Hi all,
I've got an application wich currently sends xml messages through sockets between server and client. Now, I'd like to be able of sending binary files (jpegs and other images...) as some content of these files. Is it possible with CDATA? Do you know any URL with an example or something?
thanks a lot!

This is a little example that shows the solution I adopted.
Two classes, a server and a client, execute the server in a given port and the client with "localhost" as ip and the same port as the server.
Ex: java Server 5555
java Client localhost 5555
the code:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Server {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
        if(args.length!=1){
            System.out.println("ERROR: java Server <port>");
        } else {
               // Create listening socket
               try {
                    serverSocket = new ServerSocket((new Integer(args[0])).intValue());
               } catch (IOException e) {
                    System.out.println("ERROR: not possible to listen on the specified port");
                    System.exit(1);
               // Create wait for connection
               Socket clientSocket = null;
               try {
                    clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
               } catch (IOException e) {
                    System.err.println("ERROR: Accept failed.");
                    System.exit(1);

                    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
                    // Send a xml message
                    out.print("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><FOO><VAR message=\"ugly harcoded XMLmessage\"/></FOO>\0");
                    out.flush();
                    out.close();
                    clientSocket.close();

Unable to send a file via my email client

when i try to send a file via email i get the following error message : ' adobe reader could not connect to e-mail client' - pl help.
os; win 7 home premium[64-bit]; browser: ie9; e-mail client : hotmail & gmail

That pretty much means you don't have an email client. This is something like Outlook Express you may have seen.
Instead, open your email and attach the PDF.

Send binary files from SAP System to SAP XI/PI

Dear experts,
in our SAP ERP-System we have a link to JPG files which are stored in an archive. We want to send these files with some other information to our SAP XI and then store them on a file server. Is there a way to send a MIME attachment via RFC? Or is there another way to send binary files from SAP ERP to SAP XI? We want to avoid polling the files on OS level.
Thanks and regards,
David

Most recommended way is to go for ABAP proxies. They support attachments.

How to send a file via e-mail with director

Is it even possible to have a button in a free-standing
projector that would send a file via e-mail, or open up an e-mail
program and have the file attached and addressed? Or is it possible
to put a file on a server? Of course, both of these methods would
alert the user and ask for their permission.

To just open the user's email program, you can use the
standard lingo:
goToNetPage(mailto:[email protected])
That approach is kind of annoying because it actually opens
an empty
browser window then the user's email program. I don't think
you can use
that approach to send attachments though.
A much better way is the fabulous DirectEmail xtra from
DirectXtras.
Check out their site:
http://www.directxtras.com/demail_home.asp?UUID=1217348
DirectEmail can do everything you are asking for (and more).
It is
cross-platform, shockwave safe, can handle text or HTML
email, can do
attachments, can use a mail server or not, and is really easy
to use.
The same company makes DirectFTP which you can get from:
http://www.directxtras.com/DFTP_home.asp?UUID=1217348
DirectFTP can put files onto an FTP site with a minimum of
fuss. I have
used both on quite a few occasions and they rock. You can
actually
write a full-fledged email or ftp program with those xtras
and Director.

Some devices are very picky with the End Of Line. You might want to right-click on your FIle Read and deselect the "Convert EOL".
Or if you need to write 1 line at a time, right click on the Read Text File and select "Read Lines". Set the number of line to read to -1 (read all) and then wire the resulting array into a FOR loop where you do the VISA Write.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

How to send a file without getting Connection Refused??

Hello everyone!
I'm developing a FTP (Client and Server) program as a project and I have 2 main problems:
1. The program can't connect to computers with router (Connection Refused error)
2. If a computer with router connects to me, the program will not transfer the file (Connection Refused error again). but if it does, my friend's internet is suddenly disconnect after one transfer
what should i do?!? : //
everything is working well on one computer, but when i'm trying to work on 2 computers its screwed
***FOR EVERY TRANSFER I OPEN A DIFFERENT SOCKET AND CLOSE IT (AND ALL THE OTHER STREAMS) IN CASE OF EXCEPTION OR COMPLETION
Thanks!!

How does FTP work normally? Well in most cases you are talking to a server that is on the internet. This server has been configured to be behind or on a network where the routers are not blocking requests to connect to FTP ports (among other services). So nothing different other than it is configured correctly.
I do suspect your program may have some bugs as well. For example when you talk about it dropping the connection after one transfer. That doesn't sound too great.when i checked the program...no
in the test...yes
so the server has no blocking ports, but what about a client with a router?..how do the programs pass the client blocking?
when i checked the program with a friend (i have a modem and i was the server) all the data was perfectly transfered (moving among folders, deleting files, creation of folders-->all these actions on the server..sending codes, strings and stuff), but when i tried to transfer a file it did connection refused :S
i can bring a link to the file that do the transfer and if you have patience to read

Date formatting issue when sending excel file via mail

hello People ,
I am facing date issue .
I have inetrnal format of date as yyyymmdd.
I am converting it into YYYY-MM-DD.
CONCATENATE gs_output-end_date(4)
                    gs_output-end_date+4(2)
                    gs_output-end_date+6(2)
                    INTO lv_date_to SEPARATED BY gc_seperator. " gc_separator = '-'.
        gs_output-end_date = lv_date_to.
I am writing this date and sending an excel file via MAIL . I get date result as MM/DD/YYYY always.
Now if i pass in YYYY.MM.DD and used the same code where gc_separtor = '.'.
I get output as YYYY.MM.DD.
Can any one give me an idea why in format YYYY-MM-DD it is getting overwritten but for yyyy.mm.dd it gives me as yyyy.mm.dd?
Regards,
Abhi..

Thanks , Rohit ,
I have change my date format in SU01 settings .
It is now made to [ YYYY-MM-DD] but still '-' is replaced by MM/DD/YYYY.
Also note that when i format in the following way
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date.
instead of
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)

Send KM files via XI to other Systems KM

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to send content files from one Systems KM to other Systems KM....doing this with XI
Thnx a lot for your help...

I am assuming that all you require is to transfer files from one system to another. In that case try this approach as defined in the weblogs;
