Unknown array size to graph in LV9

The attached program is used to measure a device at work, which currently has 3 strips, for an indeterminate length of time. It works fine (though im sure it isnt written to best NI practice!).
My problem is in trying to change the software to test devices that dont have 3 strips. For example, we have one device that has 128 strips. The majority of the program doesnt need any changes, only changes are essentially to get the graph to plot.
Ive written on the code where I need some help. The graph is needed to plot the currents over time and also to plot the temperature over time (on the same graph). This is for a quick visual that all is well.
Or can anyone can point me in the direction of a relevant example?
Merry Christmas.

Unknown array size

I have a function that searches through an ArrayList and sees if one of the objects' variable has a certain value. What I want to do is return the index of all of the objects with a certain values. But because I don't know how many objects there are with that certain value before hand I can't just place the indexes in an array. Should I just use an Arraylist, or is there some other way around this?
Thanks

Depending on what you want to do with the indexes, you could also make an ArrayList with references to the actual objects, instead of storing the indexes. As you probably know, if you need to put the indexes in a collection (List, Set), you will need Integer objects, not 'int' primitives (Java 1.5 autoboxing may hide the difference somewhat, but you still end up with Integer objects).

MSGraph maximum array size is 3999 elements

I just spent a couple of hours debugging and it seems that 2D array size in MSGraph cannot exceed 3999 elements. I am using MS Office 11 beta2 and office reporting toolkit. Some of my data sets were larger than 3999 and I was getting cryptic error messages. NI search did not yield any additional info so I am posting this for future searches. NI could have added some error checking if this really a case.
Any ideas on how to easily plot arrays larger than that.
Thanks
RK

I have never used MSGraph, but I recently used Excel 2000 to graph a chart that was 10000 by 3. This should solve your problem (unless, of course, I have misunderstood it--let me know).

Data type of preprend array size in Flatten To String block

Hi
The data type of the preprend array size in Flatten To String block is given as I32. Is it somehow possible to reduce the data type to I8, since the width and height of my array won't exceed 255 ?. I also need to do the same in Unflatten To String as well.
Best regards

The short answer is no. This is because the index is an I32. NI likes to keep integers as an I32 whenever possible for reasons like this.
Since you are dealing with a 2D array (width and height), it will actually use 2 I32s before the actual data.
As Ravens stated, you could put in your own array sizes before the array in the string. But it is worth saving 6 bytes? Not likely.

Change array size and delete duplicate row

Hello,
I am running a program that does a for loop 3 times. In each loop, data is collected for x and y points (10 in the example provided). How can I output the array with the 30 points in a simple 2D array (size 2x30)?
Also, from the array, how do I delete duplicate rows that contain the same x-value?
Thanks,
hiNi.

Hello,
THANK YOU for solving my first issue! Attached is the data set that contains the duplicate entries for the x-axis values. The y-axis value may be different, but not the x. I would like to delete the 2nd row that contains the same x-value.
Here is simple example of my input and desired output:
IN:
28.512000 -115.310532
28.812000 -86.937660
29.112000 -116.877052
29.412000 -87.223625
29.412000 -111.349045
30.012000 -86.510780
30.312000 -112.048187
OUT:
28.512000 -115.310532
28.812000 -86.937660
29.112000 -116.877052
29.412000 -87.223625
30.012000 -86.510780
30.312000 -112.048187
I am thinking of comparig the last x-axis value to the current one, and if it is the same, then not parse that row. The attached VI is as far as I got.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Set Fixed Array Size

Hello. I am trying to develop a VI for an FPGA target and I'm trying to make it so whoever is using the VI can specify the size of an input array when they instantiate it (such as by having an input to the VI that says "max array size" or something). So far it seems like the only way to do something like this is to go into the VI itself and manually set the array size for each input array for the VI (i.e. open the VI, right click on each input array, select "Set Dimension SIze", choose "fixed", set number of elements). I'd like to have one point where I can set the size of all the arrays at once (since in my case they are all the same size), and let the person using the VI set it to the proper size for whatever application they are using it for (to be clear, let's say I have two uses for this VI, and in one case I have an input array of size 100 and in anohter use of size 1000, I'd like to be able to set these somehow instead of doing it through the dialog). Thanks.

Unfortunately, per-call configuration of array size is not something that is supported today. This is a great idea, I would suggest that you post it on the FPGA Idea Exchange so we can get a feel for how many other people need this same feature.

How do I determine array size in a formula node

I am feeding an array into a formula node to perform an operation on. However the size of the array can be an arbitrary size. How can I determine its size to use for iterating through a for loop?
I suppose that I could add another input that is fed with the array size from the array palate but I would like to know if it can be done inside the formula node itself.

Your own advice is the only and best one.

Problem Array size in Windows 7

Hello All,
I have a VI that by opening in a new Laptop, it show some Arrays controls misfits (with a diferent array size), however i can´t put it right.
But when i make a EXE of this VI and if i run the EXE in another Computer, the front panel appears aligned and Ok.
I´m using the labview 2009 Sp1 with Windows 7, this vi have been created in another laptop in a older version and always with the Windows Xp, and whenever i was updated the version of labview it always appeared correct on those Laptop, until now when i changed the laptop and the Operating System to Win7.
Any help/advice is much apreciated
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Make sure you use the same font settings for all the controls that you want to be aligned. You might have some controls set to a specific font name and others left to the default Application font. LabVIEW substitutes the Application font for whatever the system default font is on a particular computer.
Different fonts are default and available on different Windows versions so you can certainly get into trouble here if you mix font families and names in the same UI.
If you request a specific font name and it is not available on a certain machine Windows will substitute it with a different font that it thinks looks similar but the heuristics of that substitution can sometimes go really way south of the equator and simply give crazy results.

Plotting functions in 2D array on a Graph

Hey all,
As an exercise I am trying to plot 2 functions placed in a 2D array on a graph, but for some reason the graph is only showing one of them.
The functions are : y = 5x+10 and y = 6x - 10.
I really don't see what I am doing wrong here, could anyone give me some more insight?
Thanks in advance,

Based on your code, I think what you really want to use is a Chart, not a Graph. A chart keeps a history, so it just keeps adding on to the data. A graph will get overwritten each time you write to the terminal. So you were only graphing a single point for each plot.

Setting array size, effect on memory

Does setiing the array size to a huge no has any affect on the memory, performance and is it considered good programming. If not what are the other options?
String [] arrayString = new String [2354];

Your question is rather ambiguously worded.
In Java arrays cannot be resized, so you should set the array to the exact size you need. If you need a huge array, create one. If you need a small array, create one. If you don't know how large it should be, or need it to be dynamically sized, use any of these great classes - ArrayList, HashMap, HashSet, etc... Try reading the Java API documentation on these classes...
And yes, when you create a huge array, it actually allocates the space for each element in the array right then, and in fact initializes each with the default values of null, zero, or false depending on the type of the array.

How to adjust a "control array" size

I have a program that creates a digital PWM signal with variable duty cycle. The duty cycle changes every 50 ms, but the overall wave frequency stays at a frequency determined by the user. I have the VI attatched.
My problem is this...I need to be able to control the overall cycle time. This means the size of my array of duty cycles needs to adjust based on the cycle time (i.e. a cycle time of 1 second would require 20 of the 50 ms slots, while a 1.3 second cycle would need 26).
I currently have only 4 slots in my array, meaning the total cycle time is .2 s. I understand how to manually add and remove elements to the array, but I can't figure out how to add a control to it so that the array size changes automatically, allowing much quicker entry of data. As of now I can make it work, it just takes super long to add or delete array elements. The ideal situaton would have a constant control for cycle time divided by 50 that would change the array size.
I can't find any info on this, and I think I even saw a post asking that this kind of feature be added. I'm relatively new to this program.
Thanks

var_duty_cycle.vi ‏25 KB

Currently, your VI is a one-shot deal. What you need is a state machine that updates the pct duty cycle array control as a function of the frequency while the current I/O code is idle.
I would use an array of clusters, where each cluster contains e.g. a sequence number, a duty cycle, and a string as element label. Show the scrollbar and set the size whenever the relevant inputs change. Do you want to reset the current setting when the number changes or do you want to retain the current settings as much as possible? You could just use the existing values, reshape to the larger or smaller size, and write it back to the control via a local variable. Set all elements except the percent to disabled so they act as indicators and cannot be changed by the user.
(You also need to program around it if the operator tries to manually add more elements. A better solution would be this idea, so vote for it .)
Some more general comments bout your code:
Why do you use extended precision floating point. All your waits are internally just integers. EXT makes no sense
There is a primitive for 1/x. However, you could just do a 1000/x and eliminate the multiplication afterwards. SInce you are dealing with integers, you can even do the division using quotient&remainder. Depending on the allowed frequency range there are possibly no orange data needed at all.
Make the diagram constant representation match the rest of the code.
The pulses/50ms indicator belongs before the loop. No need to recalculate and refresh it over and over from the same input values.

How to increase Array size while copying from remote table

Hi everyone,
I am using remote copy to copy 900,000(9 millions) records to local data base ,but it is taking long time obviuosly. The message i see while copying is
Array fetch/bind size is 15 (array size is 15)
can Array size be changed to make copy faster or
any otherway to copy 9 million reocrds fastly?
regards,
Karna

I guess that you are using the 'copy' command in sql*plus.
1. You could export the remote table and import the data into your local table. That perhaps would be efficient.
2. You could increase the array size for example,
SQL> show arraysize
arraysize 15
SQL> set arraysize 5000
SQL> show arraysize
arraysize 5000
SQL> What is the value for sql*plus option 'copycommit'?
SQL> show copycommit
copycommit 0
SQL>

Size of Graph Titile in WAD report

Hi
I have a grpah in the WAD . And i have the title for that graph . My user wants to increase the size of the graph .
So how can i increase the size of graph titile . pls let me know
Mohammed

Hi,
Depending on how you have configured to show your Chart title you can increase the size.
1) If you have used the chart title from the chart item itself, then go ahead with the process mentioned by Kamlesh.
2) But if you have used Text web item, you can choose which type of text (which gives you options for different text sizes) can be selected from the properties of the web item.
