Utility to send text file over GPIB, one line at a time?

We are developing instrumentation that receives data and commmands over GPIB as plain text, and returns them as well. I'd like to create GPIB "batch" files and send them over the bus, one line at a time, so I can debug the instruments' behavior. I'd also like to be able to read back responses, one line at a time.
Is there such a utility? I've got our programmer working on something like this, but I'd hate to have him re-invent an existing wheel.
Thanks!

Apart from NI-SPY, I have not heard of such a utility. This may be simple to implement using proper termination. If the instrument is capable of sending line feeds or carriage return, you should be able to easily create a document. Also, using IBWRTF, you could write the ASCII file (containing the termination characters) to the bus. Depending on how you have your timeouts specified, this may be ideal.
Alternately, if you read a static amount of data, you could IBRD chunks of data. the result may need editing for broken words at the end of a line but would achieve such a result.

Sending text to more than one people at a time

Hello
I have a problem when I go to text someone. I sent out a text today to a bunch of people, I think like 8 people. I went through my contacts and added them to the recipients of my message. It sends the message out as a picture message for some reason (this is what my friends have told me). Is there anyway to stop that?
Also once my friends go to respond to the message their response goes to all of the other people that I texted on top of me. Why does my phone do that?
Please let me know what I can do and if you need more details on my issue.
Thanks

The iPhone4 by default, sends messages addressed to multiple recipients as MMS messages. When a message is addressed to multiple recipients, the message will be sent via MMS and the iPhone header will display, "New Group MMS".
If you do not want the recipients to be able to "reply to all" you need to disable this function on your phone. Below I have provided the steps.
From the home screen, select Settings.
Select Messages.
From Group Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable.
Enabled when set to ON.
ON
Multi-recipient text messages will be converted to MMS messages. Recipients of these group messages with capable devices will be able to see all of the message recipients and "reply all".
OFF
Multi-recipient text messages will be sent as SMS messages. Message recipients will not be able to "reply all" nor will they be able to see a list of the message recipients.
Hope this helps, please feel free to contact us back if you need more assistance.

How to send a text file over a LAN?

Hi:

joe
CITY
los angeles
I want to send the text file over an intranet (LAN) to another pc and store it in the C:\temp directory of the receiving computer.
Is it best to use the Networking package? Any idea on tutorials or code samples to help assist me? (I posted on Servlet Technology forum; nobody answered though...thanks for any thoughts.

one way cud be that u write a program to open a port on the computer u want to store and make that program save on the required directory. then u can send a simple file in byte format over it. but doing this only wud b unsafe as others wud also hav the access. wat u cud do to prevent is to put some kind of password so that first u authenticate to server b4 u pass on the file.

Downloading Text file over http

Hi,
I am trying to display some plain text files over http to the client using a web browser. Everything works fine till the time the file size is small, but for the files of over 1MB the frontend just dies. Probably the display happens only after the complete transfer of the file.
Does any one have the solution by which the text files can also be downloaded similar to the html files i.e. incrementaly. I have the code of transferring the html file over http as it happens in the explorer. But the same does not seem to work on the plain text files.
Please help
Sachin

I do not have any Remote server written for this. What i am doing is, the directory in which the files are stored is exposed as a virtual directory through a web server(Apache) and then from client i am just placing a http request to open this file.
So what i can do under this situations to handle the large files.

Send wav files over a network

Hi folks,
I need to send sound files over a network. The files I'm wanting to send are wav files. I kinda have the mechanism that sends a file, but I am not sure how to convert wav files into something that I can easily send. Do I need to convert them into bytes, serialize them...etc I don't know.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? An example would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,

how to edit xml file particular value. and how to send xml file over ip address 192.168.2.10 device using ftp through Ethernet

Hello
For using FTP function in LabVIEW, I recommend you to check this document: FTP Basics
Also, take a look at FTP Browser.vi, which is available at the Example Finder.
To edit a XML file, try to use VIs in XML palette. Maybe Write to XML.vi helps you.
Post your current VI if possible.

Some devices are very picky with the End Of Line. You might want to right-click on your FIle Read and deselect the "Convert EOL".
Or if you need to write 1 line at a time, right click on the Read Text File and select "Read Lines". Set the number of line to read to -1 (read all) and then wire the resulting array into a FOR loop where you do the VISA Write.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

TS2755 I have a new iPhone 5 from T-Mobile. I can send simple texts just fine. However, I have to turn off wi-if and enabler cellular to send texts to more than one person or to attach a picture. Is there a way around this?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Nokia X3-02 can't send text message to only one of...

i can't send text message to only one of my contacts... what happen? what should i do? help me pls... tnx...

Hi,
You can send the other contacts SMS but not only one contact, Right?
Then the issue is with your contact, maybe the number is not right or not the right format.
So check your contact number with number which you can send SMS.
Maybe it is best to delete that contact and create new contact which the format is the same with the others.
I hoe this helps.

Read data from a text file, one line at a time.

I need to read data from a text file, and display each line in a String Indicator on Front Panel. It displays each line, but I get Error 4, End Of Line, unless I enter an extra line of data in the file that I don't need. I tried Read From Text File.vi, made by Nat Instr, and it gave the same error.

The Read from Text File.vi reads data from a text file line by line until the user stops the VI manually with the Stop button on the front panel, or until an error (such as "Error 4, End of file") occurs. If an error occurs, the Simple Error Handler.vi pops up a dialog that tells you which error occurred.
The Read from Text File.vi uses a while loop, but if you knew how many lines you wanted to read, you could replace the while loop with a for loop set to read that many lines from the file.
If you need something more dynamic because the number of lines in your files vary, then you could change the code of the Read from Text File.vi to the expect "Error 4, End of file" and handle it appropriately. This would require unbundling the error cluster that comes fro
m the Read File function with the Unbundle By Name function, so that you can expose the individual error "status" and error "code" values stored in the cluster. If the value of the error "code" is 4, then you can change the error "status" from true to false, and you can rebundle the cluster with the Bundle by Name function. Setting the error "status" to false instructs the Simple Error Handler to ignore the error. Otherwise, pass the original error cluster to the Simple Error Handler.vi, so that you can see what the error is.
Of course, if you're not interested in what the errors are, you could just remove the Simple Error Handler.vi, but then you wouldn't see any error messages.
Best of Luck,

while texting with more than one person at a time the incoming texts scrolls to top of conversation. anyone having this issue?

I've heard claims it can be done, claims some have done it, and claims that it didn't work for them. This thread is interesting, some indications it should be possible, complaints that it didn't, and also an interesting work-around:

You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:

Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

How do I scroll one line at a time in Lion?

I want to upgrade to Lion but need the functionality of the scroll bar arrows. I have learned that the functionality of the arrows is part of the core operating system and is not being replaced. Any suggestions as to any add-on devices that would allow this function?
Thanks,
Rich

If the program/window is not a text-based one (such as a word processor), you can usually use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up or down one line at a time.
There are often mods to this behavior, but exactly what depends on the program. Test with the up and down arrow keys in conjunction with the usual modifier keys - Shift, Command, Option, etc.

Listbox one line at a time

I want to add one line at a time in listbox/textbox just like InsertTextboxLine funtion in CVI. I can not find similar VI in labview. I think I can do it long way...by saving listbox to an array then append my line at the end of the array and send updated array to listbox..these are lot of steps to add one line to listbox/textbox...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
CVI 2010
LabVIEW 2011 SP1
Vision Builder AI 2011 SP1

Actually, the way to append an item to a list box is to create an Item Names property node for the list box. Then you can use Insert Into Array, and write to another property node for Item Names.

How can I display one line at a time on a PPT slide

I am using OFFICE for the Mac (2008).
In the past, I have known how to do this using PPT on a Windows PC..
But something has changed and I can no longer figure out how to get each line on a PPT slide to appear one line at a time every time I click it.
It's not that difficult, but I can't figured out where they moved the "Appear" option.
I am NOT using KEYNOTE, but PowerPoint from OFFICE for the Mac (2008)
Can someone help me.
Thanks,
Tom

Since this is a Keynote discussion forum, there may be no one here that knows. I personally hate PP and could care less about how to make one line display at a time. It is easy on Keynote and that is all I need to know. You might want to look for a PP forum and ask there.
