Write ALL XY Data to Spreadsheet

Hi
I have 4 XY Plots I would like to export to a spreadsheet, following this procedure or something similar:
Run
Stop BOTH While loops (to stop collecting data)
Save all data from all 4 XY Plots to the SAME spreadsheet. (preferably with a prompt for a filename and location to save)
I know I can Right-Click to export individual XY Plot data. However my goal is to export all my data at once. My labview experience is very limited, so any detailed advice is appreciated.

Hi Pinto9,
My name is Jonathan & I work within the Applications Engineering Department at NI in the UK.
I understand you want to write your xy plots to a spreadsheet file, i have looked at your code and i am slightly confused, are you taking 4 measurements from your daq assistant express vi?
I have attached an image of your code using a technique which may help you, by using the build xy graph express VI it produces problems with unbundling the clusters due to the array and elemnt size so what you have to do is index the array to extract a specific amount of elements and then you can use the 'Write to spreadsheet file' to format the data into a exel readable format.
you may also find the following forum links helpful too:

I hope this resolves your issue and if you have any questions please comment back

How to Write Waveform graph data to Text File with user option to do so

So, I'm new to labview and am having trouble writing one program in particular. I have a waveform graph that runs for 120 seconds generating a sine curve. I am, however, having a difficult time getting the program to write the x and y coordinates into a text file. I have attached what I have so far.
The first task I was assigned was to write a program that creates a snusoidal curve on the front pannel adding one data point each half second for 120 seconds. The plot should only start when the user presses a start button.
The next part involves giving the user an option to write the generated data to a spreadsheet file called "sine.txt". The file name and location should be hardcoded. The file should contain the x and y coordinates of each data point in columns separated by tabs, also known as delimited.
I have spent several hours tweaking the attached program and I just can't seem to get it to work right. Any suggestions would help at this point.
Sincerely,
A frustrated chemistry student whose research mentor is out of town

Sinusoidal Curve (saving to excel).vi ‏45 KB

First, you are not creating Excel files. You are creating text files. And it seems that your Write to file is already creating X (time) vs. Y (data curve) that is tab delimited.
Everything else you are doing is just too complicated or a Rube Goldberg.
All you need is the attached.

Writing data to spreadsheet in FOR loop without shift register

My program has a case window within a For loop. The loop iteration index is wired to the case, so there’s a case for each iteration of the loop (about 30 cases). In each case, data points are gathered, formatted to a spreadsheet and written to a file, along with some occasional header strings to describe the data. This works fine, as I can simply write the data to file as soon as I get it.
At some point in the loop, I’m gathering from two sources (rpm data for two fans) over several iterations that is to be written to two separate but similar formatted tables in the same output file. Since I’m writing two tables to one file simultaneously, I can no longer write on-the-fly in a linear fashion; I’d need to store all the information until I complete the iterations, then format the header & raw data to spreadsheet and write to file in two chunks – at least, this is what I believe is the way to go, but I’m all ears if there’s another way.
In order to buffer the data, I could use a shift register, but this requires me to wire an array across my loop for all loops, whether I’ll be using it or not. I’ve also considered initializing an array at the case I’ll need to start buffering, then writing to a local variable of that array, but in fiddling with this approach, I don’t see how to specify what index to which I’m storing the data point.
So I’m looking for advice on whether (1) there’s another way to accomplish my goal and/or (2) how to execute the initialize array and local variable approach.
Below is a picture of what I want this portion of the spreadsheet to look like. Also included is a much abbreviated mock-up of my program for a case where I’m writing on the fly for a single table or column of information and a case where I’m setting up the write to local variable approach.

An Action Engine can thought of as an encapsulated shift register.
AE's out-perform locals while alos elliminating possible race conditions. You may want to review the Nugget I wrote on Action Engines.

I was given the wrong macbook when I gave mine in for repair. I want to complain. Also, they wiped ALL my data off the hard drive. I want to complain to someone in authority. How?

I am extremely disappointed and angry with Apple service. I am a writer and booked three weeks in Spain so that I could finish my book. On the second day my laptop cut out on me asI was working on it, so I took it to Goldenmack in Cadiz. Not only was I given someone else's macbook when I went back to collect it, but then when I returned to the UK, the Apple shop in Brighton managed to delete ALL my data from the hard drive because I was unlucky enough to get a trainee on her first day. I have since learned she should not have deleted my data without even running a diagnostic. She told me she was going to 'restore' the drive. I took this to mean she was going to restore my work. But no! She erased the lot.
I complained and eventually was put in touch with a supervisor, who I was told had authority to resolve the issue. She said she would get the shop to phone me. That was ten days ago and I'm still waiting.
Ok so there's nothing I can do now to get back the three chapters of my book that I have lost and didn't back up, but the hard drive on this laptop is still faulty. I try to back up my work every time I use the machine but as soon as I attach an external drive, the whole thing shuts down. I can't use it any more as I can't risk losing any more work. This laptop is only just over a year old and this is just not acceptable, especially since I have really looked after it.
This is an appalling service I have encountered from Apple, and I am not going to ignore it. I have contacted the young chap whose laptop I was erroneously given, and the repair of which I paid for! (although I did eventually get a refund), to ask him if he had been given mine as well. He said he had been completely unaware that his laptop had been given to me and he is furious as he had loads of "sensitive material" on it." I have no idea in whose hands my laptop has been either, or indeed what damage it sustained while it was supposed to be in for repair.

Contact Apple Support:

Apple - How to Contact Us:

Be sure to refer to the repair ticket number.
Sounds like a terrible mixup.
Good luck & happy computing!

'Get All New Data Request by Request' option not working Between DSO n Cube

Hi BI's..
Could anyone please tell me why the option ' Get one Request only' and 'Get All New Data Request by Request' is not working in DTP between Standard DSO and InfoCube.
Scenario:
I have done the data load by Yearwise say FY 2000 to FY 2009 in Infopackage and load it to Write-optimised DSO (10 requests) and again load Request by request to Standard DSO and activate each request. I have selected the option in DTP's to 'Get All New Data Request by Request' and its working fine between WDSO and SDSO. But not working between Cube and SDSO. While Execute DTP its taking as a single request from SDSO to Cube.( 10 request to single request).
Regards,
Sari.

Hi,
How does your DTP setting looks like from below options ? It should be change log, assuming you are not deleting change log data.
Delta Init. Extraction from...
- Active Table (with archive)
- Active Table (without archive)
- Archive ( full extraction only)
- Change Log
Also if you want to enable deltas, please do not delete change log. That could create issue while further update from DSO.
Hope that helps.
Regards

Record all the data acquired by DAQ

Hi all,
I have a problem when I tried to record all the data acquired by the DAQ card. My DAQ is NI 6259, and the Labview version is 2009.
Basically, what I need do is using multiple channels to get the voltages of different point, then I subtract values of two channel (V+ and V-) to get voltage value between two points. In my vi, the sampling mode is continuous and the rate is 100 KHz, DAQmx reading is inside a while loop, and the numbers of samples per channel is set to be 100. After each loop execution I would get 100 data. I just used the format into file to write the data into a .txt file. It seems after 1 loop only the last one data is recorded instead of 100. Previously I averaged the 100 data inside the acquisition loop to get one data, so the writing function is OK but it really slows down the program. So I want to write all the raw data to txt file so later I can process them in Matlab. Is there any way to achieve this? Thank you very much.
The attached is the my vi for 2 channels voltage measurement and the current source control sub vi. I am new to Labview so the question really bothers me even after I read some similar topics in the forum.
Regards,
Hongxiang

Thank you for you reply. I tried that, it actually record more data per pulse than before, but less pulses were recorded (there should be 8 pulses in 20 seconds time but only 2 were recorded), I think it was because the for loop inside slows down the program execution, and sometimes the error 200279 occurred. I think it would be better to separate the reading and recording process. Someone suggests me rather than writing to the file inside the loop, accumulate the data from all of the loop iterations to generate one large array containing all of the samples then pass that to Format Into File outside the loop. Do you know how to achieve that? I tried the as below, it seems totally wrong , only two data was written.
(The subvi nameed 1 (see attachment) converts the 2D array to 1D ) Thanks.

XML data into spreadsheet form?

I created the form and a customer filled it out and returned it to me using the submit button via email. Is there a way to take the xml data and populate an excel spreadsheet appropriately?
Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0/ Microsoft XP Pro/ 160 gig harddrive/ 512 RAM
Thank you for your help!

Hi Darren,
Are you looking to automate this?
You can bring up the form in Acrobat and go file->Form Data -> Create Spreadsheet from data files. You would then select all the files (xml) to put in the spreadsheet.
Does that help you?

When I import a text file(comma separated )into a numbers spread sheet all the data goes into one column. Why does the text not go into separate columns based on the commas.

When I import a text file(comma separated) into a numbers spreadsheet all the data goes into one column instead of individual columns based on the comma separators. Excel allows you to do this during the import.. Is there a way to accomplish this in numbers without opening it in Excel and the importing into Numbers.

Your user info says iPad. This is the OS X Numbers forum. Assuming you are using OS X… Be sure the file is named with a .csv suffix.
(I don't have an iPad, so I don't know the iOS answer.)

Write / store xml data in Xe and retrieve stored data using pl/sql

Hi to all,
i'm searching a tutorial on:
A - how to write / store xml data in Xe and retrieve stored data using pl/sql
I don't want to use other technologies, because i use htmldb and my best practice is with pl/sql.
I was reading an ebook (quite old maybe) however it's about oracle 9 and it's talking about xmltype:
1 - I don't understand if this is a user type (clob/varchar) or it's integrated in Oracle 9 however i will read it (it's chapter 3 titled Using Oracle xmldb).
Please dont'reply here: i would be glad if someone can suggest me a good tutorial / pdf to achieve task A in Oracle XE.
Thanx

Thank you very much Carl,
However my fault is that i've not tried to create the table via sql plus.
Infact i was wrong thinking that oracle sql developer allows me to create an xmltype column via the create table tool.
however with a ddl script like the following the table was created successfully.
create table example1
keyvalue varchar2(10) primary key,
xmlcolumn xmltype
Thank you very much for your link.

Is there any way to set up a system in Numbers where numbers from individual spreadsheet can get funneled into a Master Spreadsheet to calculate the total of all of the individual spreadsheets automatically?

I use Numbers for my business and I currently use it to create individual invoices and then (manually) enter the totals from the invoices into a Master Spreadsheet where I can see the sum of the individual totals. Is there anyway to set up a formula or a system that automatically funnels the numbers from the Individual Spreadsheets into the Master Spreadsheet to calculate a total?

Marni,
If you can tolerate all the data and the summary being in a single document, this can be done. Any cell in a document can reference any other cell in the same document for the purpose of making a summary or other calculations.

HI,
Wow you must have been watching me type and hit send since it took about 1 minute for the reply. Thanks.
Yes i understand the purpose however i still feel as though i should be able to decide for myself if i want to use them as an "option" or turn them off entirely. It's sort of akin to the "trash bin" that's not really trash, though in that instance at least microsoft and Apple listened to consumers (eventally) and allowed users to make the choice. Hey there's a thought how about Apple points the delete to the trash bin and looses the annoying popup, that way we can restore cookies? Sorry, i'm being sarcastic but in my view, if i delete a cookie or a cached web icon it's not exactly the same thing as "saving us" from deleting a spreadsheet or system files. Oh but wait in that instance i CAN delete them without having to endure the annoying "are you sure" pop up. it looks like someone missed the bus on this one. Thanks again I'll check the web for the terminal command and try and edit the tag myself.

What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e. Windows) ?

Hi guys,
I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
Thanks.

Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

Choose File Form Data Create Spreadsheet - where is this dialogue?

This is the dialogue I need to use my pdf to generate the spreadsheet so i can add returned forms. However, nowhere can I find;
Choose File>Form Data>Create Spreadsheet from Data Files
This is found in the quick start tutorials in the section entitled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" - section number 2
How the heck do I either a) Find it
b) Set up my Adobe software to show it
or c) Create the right file that "encourages" this option to be seen when I open Acrobat (Pro 9).
I am mightily confused and, having looked around the internet, am not alone in this.
Many thanks for any help you can offer folks.
Kevin Palmer

Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).
Best wishes,
