Write three signals to spreadsheet file (Each signal on one column)

Hello,
I have a simple task that I need some assistance with. To be brief, I am reading the angular values of 3 encoders and I am writing these values to a spreadsheet file at the press of a trigger. Everytime I press the trigger, the corresponding 3 angular values are written to the spreadsheet file. I press the trigger again, the next 3 angular values are appended to the same spreadsheet file, and so on.
My problem is, the values are being written all under one column in the following manner:
encoder1 (value1)
encoder2 (value1)
encoder3 (value1)
encoder1 (value2)
encoder2 (value2)
encoder3 (value2)
encoder1 (value3)
encoder2 (value3)
encoder3 (value3)
.....and so on.....
I would like to have these values written in a way that the values of each encoder are written to the corresponding column for that encoder (ie. 1 column per encoder) in the following manner:
encoder1 (value1) encoder2 (value1) encoder3 (value1)
encoder1 (value2) encoder2 (value2) encoder3 (value2)
encoder1 (value3) encoder2 (value3) encoder3 (value3)
......and so on.....
That is, I would like to have all the values of encoder1 written under the first column, values of encoder2 written under the second column and the values of encoder3 written under the third column.
I attached the part of my VI related to my task. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

I may have been misunderstood since I only posted a snippet of my code. So please find attached my complete working VI.
I will be running a while loop and writing the data to a spreadsheet in that while loop everytime I press the trigger. In the end of my program, I will have multiple values for the encoders and not just one value for each encoder. Hence, in my spreadsheet I aim to have 3 columns (1 for each encoder) and a variable number of rows (between 10 to 20). So I want my spreadsheet to be a 2D array with 3 columns and n rows. (where 10<n<20).
I hope this makes it clearer as to what I am trying to accomplish and I apologize for not being clear earlier.
The problem I have is that all the values are being written to one column.
Thank you,

I'm trying to write a VI that updates a file each time it is run, but on a new day a new file is created which is updated until a new day begins.

I have written a VI to create and update a file as many times as needed on any given day. On any subsequent day a new file is created which for that day will be updated each time the VI is run and so on. The problem is that when I run the VI the first time of a new day, ie when the file is created only data is written to the file and not the header data. When the file is appended, header data, and regular data is properly written to the file. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? A copy of the VI that I wrote is attached.
Thanks,
Chuck M.

File - create new on date change.vi ‏15 KB

You had the header information written when there wasn't an existing file, then you overwrote that file with another file consisting only of the data because you wired the "append to file? (new file:F)" the same for both functions (F causes it to create a new file). I put the header writing function in a Case structure because you only want it to execute when this is a new file (otherwise it'll overwrite what's there). Wire the path straight through the False case. I wired a TRUE to the data writing function to always append (because there will always be a file by the time the program gets there).

PS - a few other observations
Avoid sequence structures
You don't need the property node
Use Path functions (not string)

How to write more than 65536 data in excel Via Labview in one column

I have more than 65536 data and i want to write these data in excel sheet. It is giving Error:-
"Description:-
Error -2146827284 occurred at an unidentified location
This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input."
Less than 65536 data can be written....
Please give some solution...

This is not a limitation of LabVIEW writing to a spreadsheet file but a limitation of Microsoft Excel (and also of Notepad) itself.
One option could be, you can switch to Excel 2007 or higher verison...!!
Other solution could be, forget about writing to Excel, instead write in some other format and use LabVIEW your other compatible (with large data) application to read it back.
I am not allergic to Kudos, in fact I love Kudos.
Make your LabVIEW experience more CONVENIENT.

I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have experience?

I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that automatically emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have similar experience and know that this would work?

I have had a first stab at the script, below. It uses a file to store the shortcuts and command [descriptions]. You should be able to see from the script annotations how to add a new one. (I populated 1-4 with real data, but got lazy after that, so you have a few placeholders to work with first.
As I have noted, once you are happy that you have all the data in the file, you can comment out part of the script for ongoing use. (BTW, my reluctance to use Excel is that I don't currently have it installed and I don't want to offer wrong advice. If you have Numbers, I do have that and could probably modify to work with a spreadsheet from there. This might be especially useful if you have the data already sitting in Excel.)
A few things came-up whilist I was writing the script:
1.     Currently, all recipients will not only get the same tip at the same time, but they will see the names and email addresses of the others who receive them. It is possible to modify this.
2.     I have added a property gRandomCheck which keeps track of which shortcut has already been used (since the last time the script was compiled. This will prevent the same tip being sent more than once.    When all tips have been sent once, the script will alert you and not send anything until reset. It does not check on a per-addressee basis (which would be a refinement). (If you add a new addressee at this stage, the whole process will start again, and you may not really want this to be the behaviour.)
3.     The way that I have built the list, commandList, is deliberately cumbersome - it's for the sake of clarity. If you prefer, you can construct the whole list as {{shortcut:"X", command:"X"}, {shortcut:"Y", command:"Y"}}
Have a look - I am sure you will have questions!
SCRIPT STARTS HERE Paste the following lines (thru the end) into a new AppleScript Editor document and press RUN
--The property gRandomCheck persists between runs and is used to stop sending the same hint twice.
property gRandomCheck : {}
--I am defining a file on the desktop. It doesn't have to be in this location
set theFolder to path to desktop
set commandFile to (theFolder as text) & "CommandFile.csv"
--(* Unless you need to change the file contents you do not need to write to it each time. Remove the "--" on this line and before the asterisk about 18 lines below
--Follow this format and enter as many records as you like on a new line - each with a unique name
set record1 to {shortcut:"Z", command:"Undo"}
set record2 to {shortcut:"R", command:"Record"}
set record3 to {shortcut:"⇧R", command:"Record Toggle"}
set record4 to {shortcut:"⌘.", command:"Discard Recording & Return to Last Play Position"}
set record5 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record6 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}

set record10 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record11 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record12 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record13 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
--Make sure you add the record name before randomCheck:
set commandList to {record1, record2, record3, record4, record5, record6, record7, record8, record9, record10, record11, record12, record13}
--This part writes the above records to the file each time.
set fileRef to open for access commandFile with write permission
set eof of fileRef to 0
write commandList to fileRef starting at eof as list
close access fileRef
--remove "--" here to stop writing (see above)*)
--This reads from the file
set fileRef to open for access commandFile with write permission
set commandList to read fileRef as list
close access fileRef
--Here's where the random record is chosen
set selected to 0
if (count of gRandomCheck) is not (count of commandList) then
          repeat
                    set selected to (random number from 1 to (count of commandList))
                    if selected is not in gRandomCheck then
                              set gRandomCheck to gRandomCheck & selected
                              exit repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
else
          display dialog "You have sent all shortcuts to all recipients once. Recompile to reset"
          return
end if
--This is setting-up the format of the mail contents
set messageText to ("Shortcut: " & shortcut of record selected of commandList & return & "Command: " & command of record selected of commandList)
tell application "Mail"
--When you're ready to use, you probably will not want Mail popping to the front, so add "--" before activate
activate
--You can change the subject of the message here. You can also set visible:true to visible:false when you are happy all is working OK
          set theMessage to (make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"Today's Logic Pro Shortcut", content:messageText})
          tell theMessage
--You can add new recipients here. Just add a new line. Modify the names and addresses here to real ones
                    make new to recipient with properties {name:"Fred Smith", address:"[email protected]"}

Reading each value from spreadsheet file with delay (multiple rows and columns)

Hi,
a) I want to read EACH VALUE from a spreadsheet file having multiple rows and columns WITH DELAY. I am attaching my VI and sample datalog file for reference (tempsensor.txt).I need to do so because as soon as I read put ON the Sensor button on front panel, LV reads all the values at one go. I need the values for each temperature to be displayed after a delay.
b) Secondly, I would like to read another file containing the state of four antennas (deployed:1; undeployed:0). I am logging state of each antenna in each column of the file(magnet.txt) I need to have four LEDS on front panel to display state of the antennas. I dont know what I have done for antennas in my VI is right or wrong. I guess thats rhe wrong way to approach the problem. Please help!!!(column1: Antenna1 state ; Column2:Antenna2 state.. and so..on..)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Ratnesh
FYI: The first column in my datalog file represents timestamp(number of seconds elapsed), second column: reading for temperature sensor 1, third column: reading for temperature senosr 2, and so on. I am using approx. 11 temperature sensors.
Also, I have generated the log files for the reference purpose only. They do not represent the actual values. They are far away from actual values.

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

Write Text Data Array to text file

Greetings all. I hope someone can help me as I am really under the gun. The attached vi shows the basics of what I am trying to do. I have already written a vi that takes the Cal Data Array and prints it out in a nicely formatted report. My problem is that the powers that be also want the data saved to a generic text file that can be copied and printed out anywhere they like. As such, I need to save the data to a generic text file in column format such that it will all fit on one page in landscape mode. There are a total of 12 columns of data. I have been trying to create something that would format each column to a specific length instead of them all being the same. No luck so far. Basically, I need columns 1,2,3,8 and 12 to be length of 5. The rest a length of 9. I have tried to place the formatting part in a for loop with the formatting in a case, but it does not appear to work. I really need this quick so if anyone has any ideas, please help. As always, I really appreciate the assistance.
Thanks,
Frank

Store and refresh saved file each time.

Hello,
I am writing program to save the inputs (String cmd) .I store it in seperate text file using FileOutputStream(filename).
My problem os i am not able to refresh the contents of file each time i press the button save.
I m use,
FileOutputStream o=new FileOutputStream(filename,true).
when i try to clear the saved text file,
I give, o.reset (filename);
but, it gives error.
I think o.reset() not define for FileOutputStream function.
what can I do.
how can I reset the text file(file.txt) each time.
I need each time the input is given, the file already strore must erased and store the new inputs.
thanks in advance.

Just write a new file, it will delete the existing data and overwrite it, unless you specified "append" in the constructor.

Export each chapter as one H.264 file

Hi friends
I´ve made a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits). The length of the project is about 2 hours.
I´ve already divided the timeline into 20 chapters (in order to use in Encore when creating the DVD or Blu-Ray).
Now I´d like to publish a copy of this project to Youtube. But 2 hours is too length for one video. I thought I could separate the project into it´s 20 chapters. So I upload to youtube 20 files...the chapters.
My question is: Is there any way to order Adobe Premiere to export each chapter as one H.264 file suitable for Youtube (using the Youtube Widescreen HD preset)?
What´s the best way to do it?
Thank you for the help
Best Regards
Gustavo.

Gustavo,
There are three ways that a Reply gets the Correct, and Helpful answers, and two are almost the same.
The OP can make those assignments, so long as they had originally marked their post as a question. This can be done at any time, and is greatly encouraged, as it help the Adobe Forum Team. See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1058744?tstart=30 Also, there is the often overlooked "Was this helpful? Yes No," that helps in gathering data. I do not think that those contribute to a poster's "points," but do help the Adobe Forum Team determine how well the forums are working. Anyone can mark those, and I encourage anyone, coming to a thread, to take a moment, and do that, especially if a Reply helped them too. Those can be marked, regardless of the Correct, or Helpful marks, and go into a slightly different database.
A MOD, with MOD privileges in that particular Forum, can mark Replies. Also, one might have MOD privileges in one Forum, but not others.
An Adobe Administrator, with full privileges can mark Replies.
Usually a MOD will not do that marking, while a thread is active, but perhaps with the push to get data for the Adobe Forum Team, a MOD, knowing that the answers were correct, did the marking? That is but a guess.
Good luck,

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

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.

Is there any way to save dynamic data intact to a spreadsheet file?

Does anyone have an idea on how to save dynamic data to a spreadsheet type file i.e. each input has a column and the last column is the time stamp portion of the data? I am using a DAQmx configured device and the DAQ Assistant Express vi. What I am trying to create is a basic datalogger. With all the Express VIs, you would think that there is a function for this. I am trying to avoid doing the data string assembly manually. Any thoughts?

Take a look at the Write LAbVIEW Measurements File Express VI. The output may not be exactly what you want but you can open them up in Excel, for example.
In addition if you have an suggestions for LabVIEW you can go to Contact NI and click on the feedback link. From that link you can submit suggestions on new features etc.

Can I write an Applescript to tag audio files?

Can I write an AppleScript to tag audio files? I do not want to involve iTunes in the process; I just want to add tags to an audio file on the desktop (eventually in batch).
Perfect scenario:
I drag an MP3 file (or multiple MP3 files) over the AppleScript, and a dialog box appears which lets me enter fields like Name, Artist, Year, Album, Track Number (x of y), Genre, etc., and once I've filled them in and clicked OK, it goes and writes them into each of the files.
Without me having to drag them into iTunes to do it.

I would search http://darwinports.com/ for a termnial app that is able to edit id3-tags
Then perhaps a AppleScript-Studio Interface for it and there you go.
