Thousands of individual .txt files being created while using "next available file name" option in Save to ASCII step

I'm using Signal Express to record Load vs Displacement data and export it to a format our engineers can work with (in this case ASCII is okay). It would seem that by selecting the Next Available File Name from the drop down arrow it would do just that. For instance a typical save path for me would look like C:\....Desktop\Project Number and Description\Run_1.txt within that Run1.txt file would be all the data points for that run. When I hit record again Signal Express would (SHOULD) create a Run_2 since it's the Next Available File Name.
But instead what it does is creates a single txt file for every single sample point being read. Needless to say, If I'm recording 6 second of data at 1khz I end up with thousands of txt files!
The first thing that comes to mind is, why would anyone want this?
Second is how can I record multiple individal runs for the same project and have the file name increment?

...and more attachments of the ASCII save path, before and after acquiring 4 seconds of data along with one of the files from that folder.
Again, this is 4 seconds of two-channel spring  plot data at 100 Samples to Read @ 1k Rate (Start Run.... wait 4 seconds or two full test sample cycles... Stop Run).
~EDIT~
The .txt file would not attach (I think it's too small). Here's what it looks like if you were to open it:
Load vs Displ - Displ (inches)    Load vs Displ - Load (lbs)
3.736323                              273.751906
Also, for some reason it won't let me attach my project file. It's a .seproj extension but the forum thinks it's 1k in size and "empty"

  • Configuration "use next available filename" in "write measurement file" function

    My project recording signal and saving using "Write to Measurement File" function. I want to perform record multiple segments signals should have configured option "use next available filename". For example, if the original file is data.tdms then it will save the file into: data_1.tdms, data_2.tdms, data_3.tdms, ...
    To do that I use a button control enable and disable write functionality.
    In the past I have done normally. Now, I can not make it anymore, now every write new data were add into one file created without the next new file as desired, it has almost become a option "Append to file".
    I use LabVIEW 2013
    Solved!

    write measurement file.vi ‏54 KB

    Hello ducta9,
    It looks like you currently have the Write to Measurement File Express VI configured to "save to one file" - this means that all data from a given session will be saved to the same file.  The file number will only be incremented once the application is restarted or the Reset Boolean input is set to True.  If you want to save to a series of files, select the "save to a series of files" option and configure the Express VI as needed to generate new files at intervals. 
    If you want to write variable-size chunks of data to a new file every time the user clicks the Enable button, you might be able to get away with just wiring a True constant to the Reset.  I would still recommend taking a look at the options available in the save to a series of files settings.
    Best Regards,
    Tom L.

  • Programaticly changing the (suggested only) file name in the save prompt when signing a document?

    When you sign a document in Adobe X (or XI), the system says it needs to save the file first.   Is there some way to change the (suggested only) file name to a different value for that save?
    Right now, people open a blank form - lets call it formX.pdf.   They fill it in and sign it.  The suggested file name for the save is FormX.pdf.   I can generate a unique file name which i'd like to put in place of the suggested default...

    AFAIK, you can't do it with code. Your best option might be to use a form field to show a message to the user when they sign the document with that information.

  • Script to create directory based on current file name and then save the file in that directory

    Hi all,
    I have a need save all my projects in a directory using the name of the main image I am working on.
    Manually these are the steps I used:
    Save As.
    Copy ( press command-c <== the filename is highlighted by default so all I have to do is )
    New Folder ( press the new folder button. Brings up a dialog box)
    Paste ( press command-v. <== Pastes the file name into the "New Folder" dialog box.)
    Save ( press thre save button. Saves the files into the new folder )
    Save As.
    Change format to JPG
    Save
    Change image quality to 12
    I want to assign these actions to a key
    Recording these steps and playing them back does not give me the results I need, snce the original name is hard-coded in the actionlist that was recorded
    What should I be doing instead ?
    Thanks in advance !

    You don’t mention which format the original file is (and figuring that and its current settings out seems too much of a hassle to me) so this would only save the jpgs into the folder (and create one if it does not exist).
    If you want to give it a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 or /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities-CS5/ExtendScript Toolkit CS5) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
    After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action, (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
    // saves jpg into folder of file’s name next to file;
    // be advised: this  overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting;
    // thanks to xbytor;
    // 2012, use it at your own risk;
    #target photoshop;
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var thedoc = app.activeDocument;

    var docName = thedoc.name;

    // getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
    try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
    catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};

    var folderString = docPath+"/"+basename;
    if (Folder(folderString).exists == false) {new Folder(folderString).create()};

    jpegOptions.quality = 12;

  • Where is Search File Names option in Mavericks finder?

    Prior versions of the finder had an option to allow searching of file names only.  This seems to be gone in Mavericks.  Is there any way to get it back? 

    While the default is to search for both name matches and content matches when you start typing into the search box you will be presented with the option to limit the search to the name

  • My CSS file name won't save & won't stay linked to my pages.

    Hi there,
    I moved my internal style sheet to an external style sheet and it won't save as the file name i give it, it saves as "untitled".
    -i am unable to change file name in the code or directly on the file icon....it just reverts back to "untitled".
    -i deceided oh well my style sheet will be called "untitled" and proceeded to work.
    -i linked a few of my pages to "untitled" and saved them.
    -this morninging when i opened my project up none of the styles were saved on any of the pages so i went to relink again then close and open them.   the same thing accured, none of the styles were saved.
    i am working in CS3
    this is what i did to move my internal style sheet to an external style sheet
    went to my CSS styles pannel and selected all
    -selected all my rules
    -command clicked on the rules and chose ""move to external rules"
    - in the "move to external rules" dialogue box i chose - move rules to "a new style sheet" and click ok
    - in my "save sheet file as" dialogue box i browse to the folder (assets) where i want to save my new style sheet and name it "styles.css"
    this is what i did to link my pages to the external style sheet
    in the CSS styles pannel i clicke dthe attach style sheet button
    in the "attach external style sheet" dialogue box i browse to "untitled" and add as a link
    note: the code to link to my external sheet is still in my code <link href="assets/untitled.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    any knowledge anybody can share with me?  im new to dreamweaver...i am teaching myself so any help would be great.  thanks!

    The simplest way to create an external CSS file is to use File menu > New > CSS.
    Open your HTML document in code view.
    Cut or Ctrl+X the CSS rules - everything between the <style type="text/css"> and </style> tags.
    Switch to the new CSS file and paste style rules into the blank page.
    Hit Ctrl+S to save filename.css
    Link external stylesheet to HTML document.

  • Duplicate File Format options in Save As Dialog

    I am getting duplicate file format options in my save as dialog. I am running photoshop 12.0.1 on mac os x 10.6.4.

    Thanks for the answer, I have the same problem, happened after I uninstalled CS4, (using cs5 now) however I can't seem to find where the duplicates are located. Any tips as to where I should look?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Insert a directory path and file name option

    I built a program that runs three tasks when a voltage triggers the data acquisition. I would like now to insert an option/control for two issues: selection of the directory where the data will be saved, and selection of the file name. How can I do this such that after I press 'start' I should be asked which is the directory where I want the data to be saved and then what is the file name?
    Another option would be the following: After I press 'Start' I will have a control where I can write or browse for the folder where I want to save the data; then I have another controller where I write the new file name. So in this case I should not be prompted except the case when I am trying to use the same file name.
    Where should I con
    nect this new subvi in my loop - before the tasksand before the trigger, or after the tasks and before the trigger?
    Thank you.

    Programming with LabVIEW might be fun but it is quite time consuming�
    OK, here is what I want to do.
    I have to monitor a machining process. I have to record cutting forces, power consumed, vibrations, and temperature. From each of these sensors I get a voltage as output and I used �Measurement and automation� and NI-DAQmx to program my tasks (I have LabVIEW Express running in Windows XP).
    The triggering of DAQ is generated by the input of a 4.5V DC when the CNC program starts; the stop occurs when CNC program ends and the output voltage becomes 0V. I have finished all the connections and now I have to build the vi.
    The �small picture� could be described this way:
    I want to record the parameters and save them in files that I could process later using specific vi.
    The �big picture� would be the following:
    I would like to build a stand alone program that will do the following: when I run the program [ i. e. double-click the shortcut (or the file)] a panel should come up in the center of the screen � in this panel I would like to be able to select what process am I going to investigate: grinding, turning, milling, drilling, tapping etc.
    Once I selected what process I am going to investigate, the front panel of a vi should come up � In this panel I should be able to select what parameters I am going to record: forces, power, vibrations, and temperature. On the front panel I should be able to see the waveform of the acquired data. A start/stop button and a led green/red for each parameter should show me the status of the acquisition (green is on, red is off). The start/stop button should allow me to �manually� start or stop the program at any time. Additionally, on the front panel I should also have icons with a choice for directory (folder) path, file name, and comments regarding the experiment. The date and time should be recorded in the file that is saved. There should be an option (check box or selection icon) for saving the data in binary or ASCII format.
    Similar to any program, the front panel should have a toolbar containing File, Operate and Help options. The File option should contain �Clear graphs�, �Setup DAQ� and �Exit� and the Operate option should contain: Use digital alarm, Use digital trigger, and Write data to disk with the option to be selected or deselected. The main front panel should close when I select File -> Exit.
    The File -> Setup DAQ selection should bring up another front panel in which I should be able to see the acquisition control panel (device, channels to get, buffer size, units � English or metric) and the calibration factors (for the tasks, including triggering voltage) including sampling rate.
    Well, that�s almost all. I understand I cannot do this all at once. Unfortunately, I have a very close due date in getting the system up and ready. I am hoping that I could get some help setting up a simple program and I could develop the rest step by step later...
    Can anybody help me with this program? I have attached a first attempt that would allow automatic triggering and stopping as well as displaying of forces, power and acceleration.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Clicking on a file name in the Save As dialog removes the extension (.html or .jpg)

    In previous versions of (any) browser I could save a web page, and if there were more than one page, as in a thread in a forum, I used to be able to click on the saved file, "file 01.html" in the Save as dialog, it would show up as "file 01.html" and I could change the 01 to 02 for the second page, ie "file 02.html"
    But now when I click on the file name it shows as "file 01", the .html disappears. Same for .jpg or any other extension.
    This is very annoying, especially when I find a long, multipage thread on a subject I want to read later offline.
    Bug or Feature? Either way I don't like it.
    How can I change it back?
    Thanks,
    David

    I have seen that as well. If I change the name of a .jpg picture I am downloading, I have to add back the extension into the file name. If I do not change the name, the extension is kept.

  • I need to combine a few thousand multi line txt files into individual lines in a master file.

    I need to combine lots of text files into one file-but each file is 6 or 7 lines long, and I need to remove the line breaks so each file is an individual line in the output. I feel like I should be able to do this with CAT, but can't figure out how.  Perhaps there's aother tool that would allow me to stip the line breaks before I cat them all together? (and perhaps this is a question that should be posted somewhere else?)

    You can remove the line breaks with tr -d '\n', :
      tr -d '\n' < file > newfile
    If all the files are in the same directory, just use a loop:
    for i in ~/Desktop/*.txt ; do tr -d '\n' < $i >> ~/Desktop/Untitled3.tmp; echo >> ~/Desktop/Untitled3.tmp; done
    If in multiple directories, you can use find, but the files need similar names (i.e., Untitledxxx.xxx).
    BTW, best place for this question would be the "Mac OS X Technologies" forum with a tag of UNIX

  • Why multiple  log files are created while using transaction in berkeley db

    we are using berkeleydb java edition db base api, we have already read/write CDRFile of 9 lack rows with transaction and
    without transaction implementing secondary database concept the issues we are getting are as follows:-
    with transaction----------size of database environment 1.63gb which is due to no. of log files created each of 10 mb.
    without transaction-------size of database environment 588mb and here only one log file is created which is of 10mb. so we want to know how REASON CONCRETE CONCLUSION ..
    how log files are created and what is meant of using transaction and not using transaction in db environment and what are this db files db.001,db.002,_db.003,_db.004,__db.005 and log files like log.0000000001.....plz reply soon

    we are using berkeleydb java edition db base api, If you are seeing __db.NNN files in your environment root directory, these are environment's shared region files. And since you see these you are using Berkeley DB Core (with the Java/JNI Base API), not Berkeley DB Java Edition.
    with transaction ...
    without transaction ...First of all, do you need transactions or not? Review the documentation section called "Why transactions?" in the Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide.
    without transaction-------size of database environment 588mb and here only one log file is created which is of 10mb.There should be no logs created when transactions are not used. That single log file has likely remained there from the previous transactional run.
    how log files are created and what is meant of using transaction and not using transaction in db environment and what are this db files db.001,db.002,_db.003,_db.004,__db.005 and log files like log.0000000001Have you reviewed the basic documentations references for Berkeley DB Core?
    - Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide
    in particular sections: The Berkeley DB products, Shared memory regions, Chapter 11. Berkeley DB Transactional Data Store Applications, Chapter 17. The Logging Subsystem.
    - Getting Started with Berkeley DB (Java API Guide) and Getting Started with Berkeley DB Transaction Processing (Java API Guide).
    If so, you would have had the answers to these questions; the __db.NNN files are the environment shared region files needed by the environment's subsystems (transaction, locking, logging, memory pool buffer, mutexes), and the log.MMMMMMMMMM are the log files needed for recoverability and created when running with transactions.

  • Where Dir is creating while using LKM -- File To Oracle(sqlldr) ?

    Hi All,
    I have created an interface (file -table) where I am using LKM -- File To Oracle(sqlldr) .
    But I am getting error -- at the time of creating DIR
    Error :-- Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    Code :-- create or replace directory dat_dir AS 'TEST_FILE'
    I have requested DBA to give permission for this user to create Dir.
    But he is asking which Directory he should give permission to create directory.
    -- Kindly provide a directory on the server. I will create an Oracle Directory object on it and give read and write privilege to "XYZ" schema.
    1> can any body help me that where this LKM is creating the DIR by default.I mean in which path.
    2> My other query is from where I can get the Agent log. If I have to set up for the log path then from where to set up?
    Not:- I am using ODI 11G
            DB server is different from where ODI is installed.
    Thanks,

    I looked into the KM steps and seems like the file is created in the same directory as your source file.
    Agent log can be found under <server>/logs/oracledi for jee agent or under oracledi/log for standalone agent. For more info please check  Troubleshooting Oracle Data Integrator - 11g Release 5 (11.1.5)
