Write data in a Configuration Settings file

Hello,
I want to open,write and save a Configuration Setting File and I use the VI Write_Characters_To_File (available in the Input/Output functions) for that. But my problem is that the file generated had a size of 1.81Kbytes instead of the original file size 1.83Kbytes and despite the fact that the two files contains exactly the same characters. I can't identify the problem?
Thank you for your help!!
PS: here is the VI and the Configuration Settings Files (I use Labview 7.0)

The two text files aren't the same.
The text is longer in one than in the other.
I've found out that in one a filename is "header_BbyoneSW_2LLP_1.0_PreC.bin" whereas in the other it's "header_BbyoneSW_2LLP_1.0_PreC_Cand11.bin". This is present more than once so this could be the reason.
In addition at the very beginning of your file, a square bracket "[" is missing in one file.
Hope this helps
Shane.

How to write Date/Time property of tdms file

On the root page of the tdms file, there is a built-in property called "Date/Time" in the first row.
I would like to use it to save the time stamp when the tdms file is created. But in the help file,
I only find the following property constant. So, how can I write to the "Date/Time" property field?
Property
Constant
Data Type
Name
TDMS_FILE_NAME
String (char *)
Description
TDMS_FILE_DESCRIPTION
String (char *)
Title
TDMS_FILE_TITLE

Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but have you tried this?
CVIAbsoluteTime CVItime, *t = NULL;
TDMSFileHandle deH = 0;
// Create TDMS file and set some properties
errChk (TDMS_CreateFileEx (file, TDMS_Streaming2_0, TDMS_ByteOrderNative, 0,"example.tdm", "someText", "title", "author", &deH));
GetCurrentCVIAbsoluteTime (&CVItime);
errChk (TDMS_SetFileProperty (deH, "Date/Time", TDMS_Timestamp, CVItime));
// Save and close file
errChk (TDMS_SaveFile (deH));
TDMS_CloseFile (deH);

Write data to local xml file

Does anyone know if there is a way to write data to a local xml file using the Connection refresh Button??

Hi there Glenn,
That's tricky...
Are you using SP1? You need to have at least SP1.
The XLFs were generated with an internal build newer than SP1, but they should still work in earlier builds.
If you changed the HTML file, that might be the cause. The SWF references in the HTML file must be exact.
Also, the range names must match as defined in the XLF/SWF. The bolded lines following should match. It's easiest if they all use the SWF name.
else if (hasRequestedVersion) {
// if we've detected an acceptable version
// embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed

TDMS Advanced Asynchronous Write (Data Ref)

Hello,
Im using the TDMS Advanced Asynchronous Write (Data Ref).vi to write Data directly from some DMA FIFO´s to TDMS file. I save the Files on a NI 8260 1TB HDD Array.
Now the question. I´m interested on how this Advanced Asynchronous Write (Data Ref) works. What is done with the external Data Ref from the DMA FIFO and how does LabVIEW work with the data?
I searched the NI Forums and NI page but found no information on how this works.
Maybe someone can help me,
Daniel@amc

Hi,
Indeed, there is little information besides the help file online:
"Writes data to the specified tdms file asynchronously. This function can initiate multiple asynchronous writes that take place in the background."
Is there something in specific you want to know? Or is the function not behaving as expected (performance issues etc.)
Regards,
René

Data Acquisition - using local variables to write data to a file

Hello,
I am running a Data Acquisition vi (currently in LabVIEW 7.1 but soon to be updated to 8.2) that collects ~100 parameters of data from several sources contained in a while loop. The current configuration (which I did not write) uses very few subVIs and writes to ~100 local variables to store each parameter. It then reads all the local variables and builds an array of all the strings, converts then to a spreadsheet string, then uses the write characters to file function to append to a datafile. I am trying to clean things up and have came up with subVIs to collect the data from the following sources:
8 serial port sources collecting btwn 8 and 20 parameters each
~15 thermocouple readings
~10 analog inputs
~20 parameters read off an ARINC 429 bus.
I have come up with a subVI to read each of the sources and have placed the subVIs in the while loop. Each subVI outputs the data that it collects in array or cluster form. I was wondering how best to write each parameter to a CSV file at between 1 and 10 Hz. Should I write each subVI output to a LV and then read them off as was done before (the difference being that I have reduced the # of LVs to ~10 vs >100?
I should add that precise timing is not that important, so if all the subVIs are not collecting simultaneously (which I understand that they won't be), it does not really matter.
Thanks.

Hi jilla,
jilla wrote:
What I think that you are saying is to turn the outputs of the 4 subVIs into inputs of a 5th subVI that writes to the data file. Correct?
Yes. It may sound like a fine-point, but I beileve it's better to create a VI specifically for formatting data - in your example, 4 arrays IN, a single string OUT. Then write the string to file as a seperate operation. GUI-displayed data can go through a similar transformation, the four arrays wired to a subVI which builds output-structures specifically for display. It's a beginner's mistake to put lots of individual controls and indicators on the screen when groups of them are naturally related (in an object-oriented sense.) Use clusters to group related controls - this will keep the diagram much cleaner.
One more question: at what point (either # of data points or frequency of data collection) does it become necessary to use queues? Thanks.
Well, there's not really a clearly definable "point". I'd say if your update-rate climbs above 100Hz, or you witness poor program or system performance, then it's time. The scenario you've described is a fairly simple acquire/display&log loop - and simple is good. Then-again people can't see/react-to updates faster than about 10Hz - so it doesn't make sense to sacrifice performance - if performance becomes an issue.
Re: queues: Queues are sometimes used to buffer data that's "produced" in one place and "consumed" in another.
Here, if/when logging data, you're logging with every DAQ. I wouldn't recommend using a queue to transport data from a "DAQ loop" to a "Logging-loop" - those functions can be in the same loop. Should/could a queue be used to get data from a "DAQ loop" to update the GUI at a lower frequency? Sure, but a Notifier might be a better choice. Further, in the (simple?) program you've described, you might use a case structure (True/False) to only update FP indicators every "X" iterations - a simple solution that doesn't require Queues or Notifiers.
Cheers!

Using Swing applet to write data to file on SERVER

Hello,
I'm in the process of writing an applet using Swing (SDK v1.4.2). Here's the deal. The JApplet calls a JPanel, which will be used by customers on my site to enter data. I'm adding a <Save> button to the "form" which is supposed to write data to a file on the server (in order to preserve the customer's preferences).
Please note that I am NOT attempting to write data to the customer's hard disk. That requires digital certificates, etc. which I am trying to avoid for now.
Instead, I am using the URL class to access the file:
URL page = new URL("http://www.whatever.com/mycustomers/preferences.txt")
I then use the URLConnection class to establish the connection:
URLConnection conn = this.page.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.connect();
etc...
I've created a text file (preferences.txt) on my web site. Using the classes InputStreamReader, BufferedStreamReader, and StringBuffer, I can successfully read the file into a JOptionPane in my applet.
The problem comes when I try to write data TO this file. I know the file exists because the applet can read it. I've set the permissions on the file to 666. I've got all of the appropriate syntax within a try statment that catches an IOException. I also have JOptionPanes all over the place to let me know where the program is. I've tried different combinations of output streams like BufferedWriter, BufferedOutputStream, StringWriter, but the file does not get updated. When the applet runs, it does not throw any exceptions, not even when I change the URL from "HTTP://www.whatever.com/prefs.txt" to "HTTP:/www.whatever.com/prefs.txt" (only one slash on HTTP, shouldn't I get a MalformedURLException?)
I apologize for all the background, but I thought you might need it. The bottom line is:
1) Can an applet write to a file on a remote server (not local hard disk)?
2) If so, what (if any) caveats are there?
3) Is there a way to check for file existence or be able to create a new file?
4) I'm using the HTTP protocol - is there some restriction that prevents an applet from writing to a file using that protocol? If so, is there a workaround?
5) Assuming that creating/writing a file using the method I've described is possible, what would be the appropriate output streams to use? (Currently, I'm using OutputStreamWriter with BufferedWriter).
I've been struggling with this for a while. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. I also posted this message on the Applet development forum, but I've received no response as of yet.

Http servers support PUT as a mechanism to upload data to a specified URL. Get on the other hand which is what most people are familiar with is how you retrieve that data. The basic URLConnection is an abstraction of the Http connection which can be used for GET and POST operations by default based on doInput(true|false).. If you which to use any of the http methods other than GET|POST you will have to cast the URLConnection to HttpURLConnection so you can gain access to the specific Http functionaility that could not be abstracted.
Since you are using a hosting service the chances are that you won't be able to use HTTP PUT on their server. Most servers do not support HTTP PUT without configuring them todo so. Now Apache allows localized config through the .htacess file. It might be possible (keep in mind I am not an apache expert) to configure a particular directory to allow HTTP PUT using this .htacess file it may not be possible. You will have to consult the Apache web server documentation for that answer.
But regardless you can use the HttpURLConnection and the PUT method to send data from your applet to the server. In fact that is the preferred way to do this. If you can not configure your web server to support that method then you will have to develop a Servlet to do it. A servlet has several methods such as doGet(), doPost(), and doPut(). You would override the doPut() method get the URI path create a file and a FileOutputStream to that file, get from the request the inputstream, possibly skip the http headers, and then write byte for byte the incoming data to your OutputStream until you reach the end at which point you would close the OutputStream and send an Http Response of some sort. Typically in HTTP it would be 200 OK plus some web content. You content can be empty so long as your applet recognizes that is what it should expect...
And away you go...

Hi,
Unfortunately I already tried all kinds of re-installs (the full list is in my original message). The only one remaining is the reinstall of Windows 8 itself, which I would really like to avoid.
What I find really strange is the time it takes for the above error message to appear. It's like one hour or even more (never measured exactly, I left the computer running).
What kind of a timeout is that? I would expect that, if ports are really used by some other application, I get the message in less than a minute (seconds, actually). To me this looks like the emulator itself for some reason believes there's a problem with
some port while in reality there isn't.
I'll eventually contact Microsoft Support, thanks for the suggestion.

DIAdem File Write (DAT) with channel of different lenght

Hi,
I'm trying to write in a DIAdem DAT File some channels with different lenght but I've got the error:
"File Write Error:Number of channel does not match existing file"
About you is impossible to do it ?
I post my example code
Thanks a lot
Attachments:
Write DAT.vi ‏83 KB

Hi Michele
Yest, it is possible and you did quite in the right way. The reason why you receive that error code is because you set DIAdem File Write»file mode? terminal to TRUE instead of FAULSE.
According to the specific VI Help File you shell use it configured as TRUE only if your data array is a waveform type:
file mode? (block mode:F) Data is stored in block mode if FALSE, or channel mode if TRUE. Channel mode can only be used if the data is passed in the waveform array input.
Hope this suggestion can help you.
Have a nice day!

How do I remove All OS X Server data and configuration settings

My server app crashed and I deleted the app using app cleaner and removed the server file from the Library folder, owever when I try to reinstall the setup defults to the setting from the initial install. Is there a way to remove all the stored data, profiles and OD included) as well as any configuration settings, such as those for AEBS and host name and ip address. Essentially, I would like to perform an install that is the same as the initial, a truly cela install. I am using a Mac Mini 2013 model as the server and MBP 15" as the main client.

Completely clean install? Wipe and install OS X, and then reload Server.app and configure that.
Might want to report the error to the App Cleaner folks, too.

Trying to write data to file (time from timestamp + velocity + temperature)

Hello all. I've received a considerable amount of help from many of you recently, and once again I'm seeking assistance. Having spent the majority of my LabVIEW time dealing with GPIB and data aq boards, I'm still struggling with various aspects of serial communication. I have been working on a .vi to both control and accept data from a Furness Micromanometer. The last task is to write the data to a file. Attached is a copy of the vi, as well as what the front panel looks like after a test, and the resulting data saved to disk. Anyone have any suggestions on how I should change the formatting of the data, or do whatever else might be necessary, so that my laptop and the micromanometer will get along and play well together?
Below is the data saved to the text file, as well as the front panel showing what SHOULD have been saved. See next posting for vi.

Write data to multiple text files after specific size

Hello,
I wrote a code that contineously writes data to a text file. The problem is I am running this VI for long time and therefore this text file is being bigger in size e.g. more than 10MB. I want to split writing data in this text file after max 1MB size. Can anyone help ????
thanks in advance.

CMW.. wrote:
You could use the "File/Directory Info Function" in the Advanced File VIs and Function palette to check the size. If the file is too big. close it and create a new one.
I would use the Get File Position since this won't cause Windows to have to do so much. Assuming you are just writing and not setting the file position manually, this will return the size of the file in bytes (file position will always be at the end of the file).

How to write data into a file

Hi
I want to write data from a string into a file. I am created a directory and a .doc file . But when i write this data from a string into .doc file , its give an error : File not found exception
But, when i check in my directory, a file is created with blank.
My code is:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
class createFile {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
     String mss = "This is for dedo";
     FileInputStream fis;
     FileOutputStream fos;
File file = new File("C:\\JD\\m4.rtf");
// Create file if it does not exist
boolean success = file.createNewFile();
     success = true;
if (success) {
               System.out.println("suc");
               fis = new FileInputStream(mss);
               System.out.println(fis);
          fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
          int c;
               while ((c = fis.read()) != -1) {
     fos.write(c);
               System.out.println("mss");
          fis.close();
          fos.close();
     System.out.println("created");
// File did not exist and was created
} else {
// File already exists
} catch (IOException e) {
     System.out.println(e);

InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(mss.getBytes());Use this to push into the file>
Ummm.... no. InputStreams are for reading, not for writing.
Anyway, OP, you're making a mistake. You're trying to open a stream to a file called "This is for dedo". Use FileOutputStream(File file) constructor or FileOutputStream(String pathToFile). You can then wrap that stream with a PrintWriter or whatever you need.

But every time we are getting the below error from the line
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
<Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsazure" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<Message>The specified configuration settings for Settings are invalid. Verify that the service configuration file is a valid XML file, and that role instance counts are specified as positive integers.</Message>

Any help is appreciated.
