Using excel to generate signal in labview

Hi there
I am having a trouble in generating a signal in labview using excel and then plotting it as waveform.
In excel file, I have 2199 rows and 9 columns with time in second and I want to plot time against other columns except column 1. In rows, I have text in first one.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Solved!

You haven't shown us any code, so we don't know which columns you're using. However, you should be aware that Excel and LabVIEW use different epochs: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8733.
Thanks smercurio the link appears to be broken so anyone who tries just remove the "." at the end.
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

How to generate BPSK and QPSK signals with Labview and ARBS?

Has anyone used Labview to program a Wavetek 75 or equiv Arbitrary Waveform Generator to produce BPSK and/or QPSK signals.

You can use Modulation Toolkit 2.0 for LabVIEW to generate PSK signals (including BPSK and QPSK) using common PSK configuration parameters.
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?lang=US&cid=12855
You can use resampling tools present in Modulation Toolkit if you need to resample the generated data to a different sample rate for your third party AWG.
In addition, Modulation Toolkit integrates seamlessly with NI's high-speed signal sources, including the NI 5421 for PXI:

I want to use the Function Generator VI to send command signals through the NI 7344 motion controller. This will be a closed loop servo valve system. I want to be able to change from say a square wave to a sine wave on the fly. Idea's?

I am going to run tests that require an actuator to move using various types of arbitrary waveforms such as sine or square. The NI 7344 is hooked to the UMI that is going through a driver for a servo valve. The loop is analog and it is closed. I have played with some of the examples but can't get it to work. I have used the function generator VI to generate a signal but I think I am using the wrong input VI to the motion control board. When I use what I have it moves the servo and then stops. It doesn't continually generate the signal.
I would love to use the controls on the function generator vi to control frequency and amplitude ect. Any help or pointer would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I'm not clear on exactly how you want to use the generated data but I'm assuming they will be used as your target points.
There's a built-in example for motion called 'One-Axis Contour Move.vi'. This example demonstrates how to provide your target points as 1-D array. All you need to do is to replace the input array with the output of the function generator. In order to have it run continuously, use a while loop. You can further program your application so that it'll change the waveform on the fly by monitoring the user interface but this might be little little tricky as you will need to reset the move and load the new generated points while keeping track of your current position.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions regarding this
application.

Copying Graphs and Pie Charts generated in Analysis View to Email item using Excel VBA Macro Code

Hi
I am currently working on an exce VBA macro code that would help me take snapshots of the Graphs and Pie charts generated in QC for a particular application and copy the same to an email item using excel VBA macro code.
I was able to write the code to create an email item. But I have no clue of how i can take snapshot of the graphs in Analysis View using excel VBA
Any help would be highly appreciated.

How to generate and use Matlab(R2007) .dll's in Labview

Is there a step-by-step example on how to generate and use Matlab(R2007) .dll's in Labview.
Our experimenal hardware is LabView-controlled and we want to pass
images/2d intensity arrays to a more complex matlab program that will
return an array of extracted data which we want to use in LabView again.
Thank you
Carsten

I recommend having a wrapper created around the matlab dll that converts the datatypes for you. There is a lot of fooling around with pointers involved which is very difficult in LabVIEW. btw, this got much more complicated after Matlab 7. Essentially, you need to convert your inputs into mxArrays, and then add those mxArrays to an mxArray list that you pass by pointer into the matlab dll. You also need to create a mxArray list for the outputs from the dll which you will need to extract your data out of before converting it back into a LabVIEW supported datatype. It's a big hassle. We do this pretty often, but we have created a c library that handles all the conversions, so it is feasible for us. Unfortunately, I can't share the library, but hopefully this information will help you get where you want to be.
Like I said, it would be easier if you can just get a c developer to write a wrapper for you to keep it simple in LabVIEW. Alternatively, you might try getting your m-code to work in Mathscript.

Generate CSV automatically using excel macro

Hi,
We actually make dimension hierarchy in excel and then make a CSV file and then load it into planning application. The CSV file containing parent child relationship of dimension members and other properties are made manually.
Can anyone help me regarding how can we generate CSV file automatically using excel macro and vba editor for dimension loading purpose???
Thanks

Using LPT to generate pulses

hi..
im new to labview,
im trying to generate clock , strobe and data signals
( data to be user defined ) using the wave form generator function in LabView 7.1..the data has a different time period as compared to the other pulses..
my end purpose is to use the parallel port to output these signals on an oscilloscope....
could u please suggest how i should go about it?
thank you,
Sairaj.
ps:i have attached the file tht generates the pulses, i have no idea how to use the parallel port after this, especially considering tht there are so many timing issues involved.Message Edited by Sairaj on 06-09-2005 01:00 AM

hi retour,
find attached a modified vi ( was for AD9835 - numerically controlled Oscillator ).
You should be able to understand the principle and change these vi's for your needs.
My intention was - to be fast and copy things together.................

Elvis: Is It possible to use the Function Generator and the Oscilloscope simultaneously?

Hi,
We are using the NI Elvis to output a function or a sine wave at a certain frequency and using the oscilloscope on the same board/elvis to read a modified signal. Is this possible? Can we use both the Function Generator and the oscilloscope at the same time? Please help. The oscilloscope would be reading signal from an accelerometer. Thank you in advance. We have no VI as we do not know which to use and if they are possible.

Hi,
There is no problem using the Function Generator and Oscilloscope
at the same time with NI ELVIS. Using the NI ELVIS soft front panels (Start
>> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI ELVIS 3.0 >>
NI ELVIS – see picture attached –‘NI ELVIS soft front panels.JPG’), you can choose
to open more than one instrument at a time. We do this by opening one
instrument, allowing it to begin, and then opening another. We can also program
in LabVIEW using more than one instrument at a time by placing down multiple
Express VI’s taken from the NI ELVIS pallet on the block diagram (see picture
attached – ‘ELVIS Express VI's (LabVIEW).JPG’). One note when doing this,
please see KB 41ODPHX1
for an example of how to program in parallel. If you do not wire the ‘stop’
terminal of the express VI’s, you will get the error described.

Generating signal with several frequencies - Timing issues

Hi
I use Labview 7.1.
I am trying to generate a signal composed of 1000 different frequencies.
For this purpose I am using the Multitone Generator VI .
My problem is that the generating process is too long for my real-time
application.
Is there any way to accelerate (optimize) this process?
I think about several options, such as:
Using more powerful computer (multicore)
Making the process parallel (is it relevant
for Labview7.1?)
Changing VI's properties (priority etc..)
Please advice
Amir

Hi,
Attached my problem.
I am trying to generate signal with 100 frequency component (100 different sine waves).
According to the timers it is taking 87mSec to produce the signal which length is 1 second.
In my project, I need to generate 1000 frequency components. And also 20 channel of this kind.
So it is clear that i will not be able to achieve the timing requirements
(It will take more than 1 second to generate a signal of 1 second)
What can you advise me ?
Thanks
Amir

Filtering a RF Signal in Labview

I created a signal in labview using I and Q data from separate text files. I need to add in a transmit filter but everything I try does not work. I am using a PXI 1045 with signal generation upconversion and downconversion capabilities. Does anyone have a vi that shows how to filter a signal created from I and Q data files.
Thanks

Hi jstarustka,
The solution to your problem lies with the Modulation Toolkit. The Modulation Toolkit contains tools for working with complex I and Q signals in software, including pulse-shaping and matched filters for modulation and demodulation applications, respectively.\
I'm attaching a screenshot of the MT Generate Filter Coefficients VI in LabVIEW, showing QAM Root Raised Cosine filter generation.

Using SQVI to generate report of open and released delivery schedule lines

All,
I'm using SQVI to generate an excel spreadsheet for some buyers to show open released schedule lines because they are a 1 line item per scheduling agreement company.
I used the logical database MEPOLDB instead of a table joint and pulled fields from EKKO(vendor, SA #,&purchasing group), EKPO(Material Number), EKEH(schedule line type), and EKET(delivery date, scheduled qty,previous qty).
Does this sound like I'll get the results I want on paper as long as I use the right selection criteria, because the report I'm getting isn't quite what I expect? I am unable to identify which lines are authorized to ship vs. trade-off zone, planning, etc. in the report thus far.

Hi Mark,
I have faced same requirement. I am not sure about transporting to TST and PROD. I done by this way.
After generating SQVI program in DEV , I assigned that program to a transaction and tested in DEV. Later i have regenarated SQVI in Production. then I assigned the generated Program to same transaction in DEV. And transported the Tcode assignment of program to Production..
About authorization , if its not sensitive report, BASIS can restrict at transaction level.

Ravi.

How-to use Excel for the XML file input?

Hello all,
Following our discussion with Gerhard Steinhuber on the very nice tutorial from Horst Schaude , "How to upload mass data via XML File Input" , I am starting this new discussion.
In the comments section of this previous cited tutorial, Rufat Gadirov explains how to use a generated XML from Eclipse instead of your XSD file as your source in Excel.
However, in spite of all the instructions, I am still facing the same issue in Excel when I try to save my file as XML : "The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable".
What I try to do is to create one or more Sales Orders with multiple Items in it from a XML File Input, using excel to enter data.
The part with the File input is working (if I directly upload my file to the webDAV, it creates a sales order instance with multiple items).
The only missing part is the Excel data input that I cannot make work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my XML file that I try to use as a source in Excel before inputing data from Excel:

Hello Jacques-Antoine,
I suppose that as you have tried to construct a map from the schema, you have taken the elements from the List level down. In this case I also can't export the map.
But if you take the elements from the level MySalesOrderUploaded down, you'll get the exportable map (screenshots)

Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

Hi All,
Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format. I'm currently running the following report in SAP and would like the
ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
much data manipulation. Can you please assist me. Below, I've tried to
provide an example of what I'm encountering. Thanks, beforehand for
your assistance.
Here goes:
Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
Inventory
Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter the
desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
selection noted in the tool bar below. The result is a data friendly
excel 2007 report is automatically generated.
Export to Excel via list:
Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
the report immediately. Now let go back and run the exact same report
with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID. Given the report generated in
the background, I would now access the report via the spool and make
the following selections:
SP01 + execute to see my report
I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
with. I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer. The currency
format and other issues arrise with this extract. Please help.
Thanks,
Chowadary.

Update to Latest GUI.
Use List -> Export -> Spreadsheet to get the output to excel.
I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.
