Trying to read a recorded file that display the x-axis recorded time stamp?

How do I read a recorded file with (XY) data, meaning I want to plot the x-time recorded data and be able to scroll back and forth.

Hi Gina,
If I understand your question correctly, it sounds like you are trying to plot some data that you have saved in a file. I am assuming that this data is in the form of X and Y values.
If this is correct, the easiest solution would be to use an XY-Graph in LabVIEW. I would start by using LabVIEW's File I/O VIs to load the data into an array or even a string indicator. You can then parse the data that you need and separate it into two arrays, one for X values and one for Y values. You can then bundle these two arrays together and feed the resulting cluster into an XY-Graph.
I have attached an example that may help to point you in the right direction when it comes to the actual programming.
I hope this helps!

Trying to write to a file that uses the current date as a portion of the path

I would like to write to a data file that changes the path when the date changes. I am using the build path VI with the get date/time VI with the "/"'s removed from the string. I've tried using .txt in the pattern input and adding it in with the concatenate string VI. Either way I receive Error 7 File not found. Ifanyone has any thoughts on hoew to accomplish this I'd appreciate it. Thanks

You have to check if the VI that create the file is setted to "create" or to "append" caracters on the file. I receive this error message when i am trying to use the "Write caracters to file.vi" and it was setted to append. You should use an converter to change the name of the file from String to Path. And you have to use a loop structure to check the date and append caracters on the file everytime is needed.

Reading from a .txt and displaying in XY graph with time stamp

Hi,
I am a newbie to LAbView. I need to read from a text file having two columns, one carrying the temp value and other the time stamp. I need to plot this in XY graph on a real time basis. Please help as how can I do this..
I am attaching my files for your reference.
Thanks in advance

So what is the question about... I have to use XY graph in my program. It is used in Loop while cycle. It shows the statistic of a variable. I am using cursors in this graph to check the actual value of a variable in different period of time. But there are 7 variables and it is extremely hard for user to check each value independently. So I tried to make them moving on the X axis (TIME) together using the property node (cursors reading the position (only X axis, Y axis status lock to plot) of the major cursor and follow it... Everything looks great? But it did not work when I am trying to move the major cursor manually on graph... It works only when I am using the cursor movement buttons... But they work very slowly when there is a lot of data in graph.
I want to find out is it possible to make seven coursers mouthing together By the X axe and be Locked each at its plot by Y axe manually (Using mouse moving on a graph). Is it possible? If it is than how to do it?
Hello Shidla,
The attached VI should help give you an idea of how to create a VI that allows all cursors to move together. The main idea is to keep track of the current location of all cursors and move all of them when you see a change in one's position.
Good luck with your development.

Best Lyrics cannot be permanently removed. It must have installed a hidden file that creates the add on each time the computer is booted.

I inadvertently allowed the Best Lyrics add on to be installed for Firefox. It has annoying adds and sometimes links to malicious software. It can be disabled or removed from a session and become non functional after a Firefox restart but each time the computer is booted up it appears again. I assume there must be a file hidden somewhere that re-installs the add on each time the computer is started up. Does any one know how to remove this permanently?

Thanks for the tip. It rurns out that the Bestlyrics was actually added as a program and I was able to get rid of it by uninstalling it from the control panel. (Should of thought of this before). I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes and it did find a couple of other PUP items for adware that I deleted. Thanks for the tip.

How can I recover a file that displays the error: Illegal Operand; Offending operator: ,

My file was closed without a problem and saved correctly. When opening I get the message: Illegal operand, Offending operator: , What can I do to repair this file? I created the file using Illustrator CC2014 with the plugin MAPublisher on an iMac, running under OSX 10.10.2, Yosemite. The file represents a map and consists of many layers. I am very keen to learn what may have caused this problem to occur and how to circumvent it. Andre.

Andre,
For possible reasons, see below.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

To have a network actually work may require some work.
If you transfer by external means it is always safest to zip/compress the file to avoid corruption.

Error 7 occurred when trying to read a spreadsheet file in LabVIEW

Hi,
I got the message (in bold) below when I was trying to read a text file type. I also include a snippet of my block diagram.
Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vipen File
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or
the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system.
For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS X, and /
on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or
file explorer.
I really appreciate if someone can help me. Thanks.

Hi Ravens Fan,
Thanks again for your valuable input. I replaced the string manipulation functions with a path control. I think it works coz I can see the waveform data, rms values etc. And then you said if it works, do a Path to String on that...and I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I attached a snippet of the modified vi. you may refer the original vi snippet in my previous email.
I appreciate it if you could help me again.
Thanks.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

How does I read a HWS file that contains 2 traces, in labview? (error -21508)

Dear experts,
I have been using a PXI-5105 acquisition card to save data from 2 channels at the same time (coming from different sensors).
Up to now I have been reading the files in Matlab, taking into consideration the group name, the trace name and the coefficients of each channel. I was able to do the post-processing of the data in Matlab. I attach an example of the kind of files I'm handling if it helps, inside a zip.
Now I would like to implement this post-processing (FFT, etc.) in Labview. I have tried to use a couple of examples such as "hws_low_level_read.vi" or even the HI-HWS Express load utility to check the file, but it seems difficult to read it because of the 2 channels saved inside the same file.
The error -21508 appears at the "niHWS Get Wfm reference.vi". That refers to:
Error -21508 occurred at niHWS Get Wfm Reference.vi
Possible reason(s): NIHWS: There is no group in the file that matches the provided group name
And it seems odd to me, as I'm using the same name for group (wfm_group0) and trace(vector0) than I was using in Matlab.
Anything I'm missing? Any hint on how to read it in any way?
Thanks you very much in advance for your help
Best regards

Dear all,
I have been struggling with that problem today and I just wanted to post here how I have finally found a way to read the data.
It is so easy that I'm a bit ashamed, but I think it is worthy to answer in case anyone would need it.
The "niHWS Get wfm Reference" is asking for a Group Name and for a waveform name. I have used the "niHWS Get Group Name" and the "niHWS Get wfm Name". Both have direct outputs (strings) with the information that "niHWS Get wfm Reference" understands. You can directly link them.
But actually, in the reading of the data I found that the group name doesn't need to be fulfilled and the waveform name is "0" or "1" in cae you have 2 channels.
So, you see, it was very easy for my HWS file: put a control and select "0" or "1" for waveform name. The simpler the better, jejeje.
I hope it helps. And sorry for opening the question I'm now answering myself. I was completely lost yesterday.
Best regards
IñigoA

using (var rd = new StreamReader("filename.csv"))
while (!rd.EndOfStream)
var splits = rd.ReadLine().Split(';');
column1.Add(splits[0]);
column2.Add(splits[1]);
// print column1
Console.WriteLine("Column 1:");
foreach (var element in column1)
Console.WriteLine(element);

Can a servlet read a jsp file and display its contents?

Hi,
I would like to know if Servlets can read a Jsp file and display its contents.. Right now for our website, I am using a html file to be displayed after a successful post operation through the Servlets...
-Thanks!

I posted this in another thread.
Here's some code that reads using a URL. This doesn't work with JSPs as the server executes JSP when it connects but it's useful for other file types. Note that the filename is a URI</h1>This is <code>show.jsp</code></h1>
<hr>
<%! String file = null; %>
<%! java.io.InputStream is = null; %>
<%
file = request.getParameterValues("filename")[0];
try {
is = (new java.net.URL(file)).openStream();
} catch (java.io.IOException ioe) { out.write(file + " not found!<br>"); }
java.io.BufferedReader in = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(is));
String line = "";
%>
<pre>
<%
while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {

Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
Could it be something i have done in my settings?
or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time?

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time? Or even add a "video slide" into the screensaver?
My business has 3 TVs displayed in our lobby, each with its own apple TV and they are all linked to the same photo stream. Currently the Atv screensaver displays the photostream pictures of our products for the default 3 seconds. We just added pics/slides that now display messages and useful info for our customers but I want that info to be displayed for a longer period of time than the pictures to give people a chance to read it.
I tried using flickr and powerpoint as a work around but no luck. I created a slide in powerpoint with play length of 15 secs and saved it as a wmv file. I added that file to a "screensaver" set in flickr and pointed the Atv screensaver to that flickr set. It still displays everything, pics and the wmv file at the default 3 sec.
I know I can increase the duration of all pics in the screensaver to display for longer but the goal is to have the pics display at 3 secs and the info slides to display at 15 secs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not possible.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here

I'm trying to display the current date and time on my iPad.

First, I'm not sure this is a valid post to this forum. If not, I'd appreciate knowg in where I can get help.
I have tried several ways to display the current date and time on my iPad. None work. Most things I try give me complier errors but the latest code compiles but won't display the correct time.
Here's the dispatch code in my ViewController.m file:
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{
        [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:NSTimeInterval)1.0f target:self selector:@selector(updateLabel:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
Here's the updateLabel code: (which never gets executed).
- (void)updateLabel:(id) sender {
    dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    NSLog(@"Datefield Update Called");
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy 'at' HH:mm ZZZZ"];
    NSDate *dayTime = [NSDate date];
    NSString *formattedDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dayTime];
        _dateField.text = formattedDateString;
    [self.view addSubview:_dateField];
    NSLog(@"Datefield %@",_dateField.text);

Your code is needlessly complicated and has a few problems:
// These objects should be created only once.
NSTimer *dateAndTimeTimer; (You might need to make this a property with a strong reference).
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMMM dd, yyyy 'at' HH:mm ZZZZ"];
// The subview should only be added once.
[self.view addSubview:_dateField];
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(startDateAndTimeTimer)
                        withObject:nil
                     waitUntilDone:YES];
-(void)startDateAndTimeTimer
    NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1
                                                      target:self
                                                    selector:@selector(updateLabel)
                                                    userInfo:nil
                                                     repeats:YES];
    dateAndTimeTimer = timer;
    [[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] addTimer:dateAndTimeTimer forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes];
-(void)updateLabel
     NSDate *dateTime = [NSDate date];
     NSString *formattedDataString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dateTime];
     _dateField.text = formattedDateString;
     NSLog(@"_dateField.text=%@", _dateField.text);
