Stoping VI inbetween when program seeking data from serial port.

I have an application in which I need to read data from two serial port one after other.
One read will read 14 byte and other 08 bytes(Just info).
Now in between if user need to stop the VI then how to stop it?
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

A state machine could do this easily. Just have a state to check for the stop (or any other events).
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Problem while reading data from Serial Port

Hi All,
I am facing some problem while reading data from Serial Port.
As per the requirement I am writing the data on Serial Port and waiting for response of that data.
Notification for data availabilty is checked with method public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) of javax.comm.SerialPortEventListener.
When we are writing data on the port one thread i.e. "main" thread is generated and when data availability event occures another thread "Win32SerialPort Notification thread" is generated. This creates problem for me as we can't control thread processing.
So can anybody pls explain me how to overcome this problem?
Regards,
Neha

My Problem is:-
I am simoultaneouly wrting data on port & reading data from port.
First I write data on port using outputStream.write() method. Now when target side sends me response back for the request on serial port DATA_AVAILABLE of SerialPortEventListner event occured,we are reading data from serial port.Now till the time we didn't get the response from target next command can't be written on the serial port. When we are writing data on port main thread is executed.Now my problem starts when DATA_AVAILABLE event occured.At this point another thread is created.Due to this my program writes data of next command without reading response of previous command.To solve this prob. I have used wait() & notify() methods as follows.But again due to this my pc hangs after execution of 2 commands. (PC hang in while loop in a code provided below.)
From SOPs I could figure it out that after 2 commands we are not able to write data on serial port so DATA_AVAILABLE event doesn't occure n pro. goes in wait state.
Can anybody help me to solve this issue.

Code:
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event)
          switch (event.getEventType())
               case SerialPortEvent.BI:

Unable to capture data from Serial port using LVRT2010 in single core pentium 4 machine

I am using application written in Labview using windows Labview
Runtime environment 2010. Application creates a tunnel to intercept data from
Serial port.
My problem is, Currently, I am using single core Pentium
processor. When I am trying to intercept the data between COM1 and COM7 (COM 7
is a virtual port) it is not able to capture data.
When I am running Labview RT environment using dual core
processor machine it is running normally. I wonder whether it could be the compatibility issues with
single core Pentium processor.

Hi Magnetica
Are both of the machines running the same runtime engine,
drivers ect?
Have you had RT applications running on this
machine before?
Is the development computer a 64bit machine?
The processor is a supported model (See link below).

i will get 3 different data in serial port (like this: 121 213 135)
i want to save in a txt file what datas get my vi
so
-write in a txt file or draw in a diagram (or both)
so my problem is: read in serial port and save in a file and draw a diagram.
if anybody can help pls HELP ME because im a beginner in this problem.
I already do something but Im not sure that good.
Thx for all.

How to get data from serial port to GUI textArea

Problem in reading data from serial port continuously- application hangs after sometimes

I need to read data from two COM port and order of data appearance from COM port is not fixed.
I have used small timeout and reading data in while loop continously . If my application is steady for sometime it gets hangs and afterwards it doesnt receive any data again.
Then I need to restart my application again to make it work.
I am attaching VI. Let me know any issue.
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

What do you mean, "not fixed?" If there is no termination character, no start/stop character(s) or even a consistent data length, then how can you really be sure when the data starts and stops?
I probably misunderstood you though. Assuming the last case is not ture - there is a certain length to the data - then you should use the bytes at port, like in the otherwise disastrous serial port read example. In this case, it's NOT disastrous. You have to make sure that you read all the data that came through. Right now you have no idea how much data you just read. Also, if this is streaming data, you might want to break it out into a producer/consumer design pattern.
Not fixed means order is not fixed, data from any com port can come anytime. lenght is fixed, one com port have 14 byte and other 8 byte fixed..
Reading data is not an issue for me as it works nice but I have a query that why my application hangs after sometime and stops reading data from COM PORT.
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

Read data from serial port or TCP port of frontend PC

Hello Friends,
I have requirement to read data from device connected to frontend PC which will provide meter reading data.
Vendor has given me two option.
1. Device can be connected to seiral port and data transfer will be done through MODBUS RTU protocol.In that case data need to capture from serial port.
2. Device can be connected to TCP port and Socket program can be provided for data transfer. In that case SAP will act as client and communicate with TCP port.
There will be multiple workstation with individual meters connected to them.
I am aware of text file interfacing through front end tools using custom code using VB,JAVA or others.
Is there any solution availble to achieve above things using ABAP other than text file , like direct communication?
I am using ECC 6.0.

Hello,
Socket programming in not available on ABAP, but you may use RFC for the same.
Use the below links for more details

How to configure visa to adquire dat from serial port and then converted to numeric value from a home embedded device

I already stablish communication with my serial port using VISA, selecting COM1 as the resoure name.
After that, I tried to read the data from the port (as we know the data was in string format )but I need to convert the data to numeric value to hadle it (no arrays).
Another main thing is that I'm develoing a new based Embedded design and tthe info that will trhow out from the device to the PC is binary.
How can I solved the problem, and if I want to make bidirectional communication with my system how can I do it? The VISA intructions as *IDN? and so forthetc can be recognize by the external system if the COM1 port is recognized by NI Max as ADSRL1::I
NSTR1?

Hello,
For an example of bidirectional serial communication in LabVIEW, please see the shipping example LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi. This can be found from LabVIEW by going to Help >> Find Examples. From the example finder, select Hardware Input and Output >> Serial >> LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi.
Once you are able to read the string data in, you can use the VIs in the String/Number Conversion palette to convert the data to numeric format. To access these, right-click on the block diagram >> All Functions >> String >> String/Number Conversion.
Let me know if this does not help.

Parsing data from Serial Port one byte at a time

Hi everyone,
What I want to do is read in from the serial port byte by byte and parse each byte that I am reading in. The size of the data read in varies. How do I do that? I can do using .dll but I want to learn how to do it in labview. I searched through the forum for something similar but no luck. I have seen some that puts the VISA read in a while loop and others that puts the property node, "bytes at Port" in a while loop. What is the difference in doing either way? I am using Labview 7.1 Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi guys..
I'm still a beginner in using labview tcp/ip function. for now, i have a project to read the labview data with java programming language so that i can monitor that data using any devices that using java, such as PC or cell phone. my task for now is to determine the format of data that being sent (its type, length, etc), coz as far as i done until now, the data that read in the java is still a raw material so that i dont know how to gain the information from that data.
my question is :
- how does the type cast work in changing the data format from one to another?
- how does the bytes to read in tcp read work? coz when i'm changing the length of bytes to read constant from 4 bytes to another, the data is becoming mess up. As far as i know, the bytes to read only read the first "constant number" byte in the tcp read to determine the length and type of the data..
thanks

Reading data from serial port needs optimisation

Hi,
We have got a class which reads input from some hardware connected to the serial port.
The data coming from the device can cross over 1mb at a time.
We would like to optimize the speed of the program such that no data is lost during the readings.
Hence, we would like to store the entire reading into memory such that it can be stored into a file or database once the readings have been completed.
The serialport class returns a byte[] of the current data in the buffer. There could be over 8000 such readings.
Would it be better to convert the byte[] into a char[] and append into a StringBuffer
or append the byte[] as is into an ArrayList and perform the conversions and operations on it later?
Reg,
Chetan

The ArrayList will not only be much faster but it will preserve the original data. Unless the incoming data really is a String there is no point in converting it.

Reading datas from serial port (palm)

Hi,
Because read methods (DataInputStream, stream on palm serial port) are blocking, how do I know if there is at least one available byte that can be read ?
Thanks

Hi,
I thought the method available() resolve the problem but this method gives the number of byte available without blocking.
I use :
public DataInputStream dis = null;
public int readDataBuf(byte[] buf) {
int status = -1;
try {
if (dis.read(buf, 0, 1) > 0) {
status = (buf[0] & 0xFF);
catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
return status;
but with the read method if there is not byte the program stop wainting a byte.
Thanks

To read & save data from serial port (write to .csv file), and plot data as waveform

Hi,
I've been stuck with this problem for weeks and really need some help. I've been searching a lot but I can't find a proper solution.
I am trying to use Labview to plot and display some parameters of a data acquisition system for a project.
The data acquisition system is connected to a computer via serial connection through COM 1 port.
The data acquisition system sends a serial stream of data (ASCII string with baud rate 19200), as shown below (from HyperTerminal),
01:00:26,933.24,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,
01:00:27,931.54,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,
The serial data stream consists of a time stamp (as 1st data), followed by 16 individual channel data, separated by comma "," and each stream ending in return "\n". Each value of the data ranges from 1 to 6 digits (value of -5000 to 15000).
I have no problem reading this values correctly using HyperTerminal, but I have problem to plot and display individual parameters of this serial string in Labview. I want to save the entire data in a “.csv” file corresponding to all the 16 channels with time stamp and plot each individual channel parameter in a graph with time on X-axis.
I am relatively new to Labview hope I can learn a lot from your help.
　Thank you

Thank you Dennis.........
Now I had modified the program incorporating1D array for gauge display.....but currently I have a new problem. The program is running updating the file, waveform graph and Gauge very slowly. Approximately once in every 15 seconds 16 data streams are getting updated in a bunch with gauge sticking to the last value rather than indicating real time value.

gets updated in a bunch after 15 seconds, rather than in every second. I thought the problem is with while loop but, i realised there is no delay associated with it..... Can u kindly help me in modifing the program so as it can update the waveform, file data and gauge in real time? (I have attached the modified VI file "suitcase new.vi" and the data gathered after executing the same as in "Trail.txt".)
Thank You,

Receive data from serial cable

hello;
i am building a program which recive data from serial port... and to tes it i constructed a circuit where i connect the pin 2 to a power source.
c=inputStream.read();
readBuffer.append( c);
System.out.println("ok "+ readBuffer.toString() );
the prevouse sentence is to print out the result, but the result is numbers ,0,10,255,16,8 collection of numbers at any time i connect the circuit.
so can any one discuss to me what is these results?

I agree with Dennis that the timing characteristics of the USB-6008
would be insufficient to implement a serial interface with, but there
are other issues as well which would prevent you from doing this.
RS-232 has a maximum voltage of +/- 25V, which is higher than the
limits of your device no matter how you connect it. You may be
able to read the incoming data line on the analog lines if you use
differential mode (+/- 20V Range), but you would be unable to output
any data. The analog output range is 0-5V, so you wouldn't have
any way to output the voltage levels needed for a RS-232 interface.
Both the digital lines and the analog output are software timed, so you
would not be able to produce the accurately timed I/O needed for a
RS-232 interface.
You could overcome the voltage issues by using a line converter such as
a MAX232 chip to convert between RS-232 and TTL votlage levels, but you
would still have timing issues which would make it difficult to produce
a working serial interface.
I would recommend that you look into purchasing a USB Serial interface. National Instruments offers a full line of USB Serial Interfaces which allow you to easily interface with RS-232 devices on a computer without a serial port.

When we synch data from AD to FIM Portal 2010 r2 the data is not updates in FIM Portal.

Hi,
When we synch data from AD to FIM Portal 2010 r2 the data is not updates in FIM Portal.
Active directory attribute co have value vietnam but in FIM Portal country attribute have value VIET NAM
we simply mapped AD Attribite to FIM Attribute for inbound
co===>country
why this happen
Regards
Anil Kumar

Anil, please check what do you have in metaverse. It seems that you have attribute flow precedence configured in a way that doesn't export to FIM Portal.
Let's say you have flows like:
(AD MA)
Import flow: (AD) description -> (metaverse) description
(FIM MA)
Import flow (FIM) description -> (metaverse) description
Export flow (FIM) description <- (metaverse) description
And you have higher precedence from FIM. Then, you would never have FIM value updated - even if value in AD changes. It would be exported to FIM only when you don't have this attribute filled in FIM.
If you found my post helpful, please give it a Helpful vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an Answer.
