Writing thermocouple data to measurement file from while loop

Hello,
I'm trying to write thermocouple data that has already been filtered into a measurement file. My code works, but has many zero-time entries (probably from the filtering aspect), and some of the non-zero-time entries are even out of sequence (my output file is attached as well as my VI.) I'd love any help regarding getting this to work!
Thanks in advance,
Megan

Hi Megan,
do you really need to sample thermocouple data at 1kHz? How fast does the temperature change - and how fast do thermocouples react on that temp change? (Which sample rate is recommended for your hardware?)
Are your filter settings reasonable? "TC2 unfiltered" looks quite ok, while the "filtered" graph looks awful (atleast for a TC measurement)…
And you should definitely fetch a constant number of samples from DAQmxRead. Usually you read 1/10th of the sample rate, so reading 100 samples for 1kHz sample rate!

Writing text file in while loop

Here is my question about writing text data to a file in a while loop...worded best I can.
I have an Init case where I have the user choose a file path and name. I take the ref out and then I have data that is being written to the file. The loop will take 40,000 pieces of data write them to the file and go back to the get data case to collect another 40,000 data points. But when I open the file, I only get a file as big as 430KB. I'm not sure but can somone show me an example of pulling analog data from a DAQ Assist, doing a calculatoin on it, writing it to a file and repeating that by adding it to the same file at the end of the previous data?

Take a look at the attached VI's. Did you have your data set to append? This could be your problem.

Data Federator: Access Text file from secured Network Share or Sharepoint?

Hi,
I am using BusinessObjects Data Federator Designer XI 3.0 Service Pack 2 - 12.2.2.0 (Build 1002172322) and I'm new to DF.
I am trying to use the Text File Datasource type to connect to a file on a secured Network Share and from a Sharepoint 2010 document repository. Is this possible?
I am currently able to use the Text File datasource to read a file from a public network share (
share\public\folderpath\file) or on the local federator machine using the "Local File" connection but cannot put in a username/password for accessing a secure network share. Is there a built in DF username/password that should be granted access to the share?
Neiher the FTP File System or SMB Share seemed like it would work here either.
For the Sharepoint connection, I know that I can make a webservice on a list and connect DF to the webservice, but I want to just connect to the document repository. I was unable to get this to work even with Sharepoint repositories using WebDav since the Local File method did not accept the url string (http://mysite.<org>.com/personal/<user>/Shared Documents). Is there any way to do this without having to change the way the file is exposed on the Sharepoint side?
How is this normally handled? Put the files on a unsecured network share or on the DF server? Import the files into a DB and just use DB connections?
Finally, is there a way to import XLS/XLSX files in DF or only CSV files? I saw DI has an Excel Adaptor but didn't see anything for DF and when I tried it either could not retrieve the XML schema or reading the file's data failed.
Thanks alot for the help.

Bump, any help here with Data Federator usage? Sharepoint, XLS files, or using secured network share?

Problems with opening file with while loop

Greetings everyone,
This is probably a quick question, but I am familiarizing myself how to open data files in Labview. The attached code works if you enter a file from the folder button on the front panel. However, if the path is blank and you hit the run (arrow) button, a dialog box comes up and asks for the file.
I select the file, but the dialog box keeps coming up. I think this has something to do with my while loop. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks!

TheLT,
1. crossrulz was right. The Read FromSpreadsheet File.vi opens and closes the file each time it is called. If no file path is present at the input when it is called, it will pop up a file dialog.
2. LabVIEW uses a dataflow paradigm. In your program the effect of this is that the File path control is read almost immediately when the program is started and never again after that. So, if the program is already running when the file is selected in that control, the new value is never read and the value (empty) in the control when the rpogram started is used.
3. The fix is to use an event structure with a file path Value Changed event to detect when the control has a value entered and then read the file.
4. Sequence structures obscure code, make it difficult to modify and extend code, and can almost always be eliminated by effective use of dataflow. Local variables should not be used just to pass data around. Wire is always the best way when possible. In your program adding a few wires allows elimination of the sequence structure and the local variables.
5. Your graph loop should have some kind of delay or wait. No need for it to run as fast as the processor will allow - and to hog all the CPU time - to repeatedly put the same data onto the graph. This is another place where an event structure is appropriate. Only update the graph when the X-Axis or Y-Axis selections have changed. Note: Accepted best practice is to use only one event structure in a program, although there are a few advanced cases where multiple event structures are appropriate. You only need one.
6. If the slected file does not contain the "endheader" string, the program will never stop. Add a test for EOF to stop the program if the End of File is reached without finding the flag.

How should I set up my VI so that I can use the linear fit coefficient data analysis program, when my values are coming from while loops within a sequence structure?

I'm attempting to create a calibration program, using the printer port, and a Vernier Serial Box by modifying a calibration program designed for the serial box.
There are six calibration points, and to collect them, I have it controlled by while loops so that the numbers are taken when a button is pushed, and this is inside a sequence structure so that I can get the six different points. I feed these numbers into two different arrays (for x and y values) and then try to use the linear coefficient analysis on these points, but the values for the slope and intercepts it returns are not correc
t.
If I cut out the array and coefficient analysis, and feed the same numbers in directly without the while loop and sequence structures, it produces the proper values... I don't know why the numbers it is producing are different, and I'd really like to know.
Thanks,
Karinne.

I would use a data manager sub-vi that would be called by each from of the sequence structure that produced a data point. The data manager sub-vi could auto append new items or could place items in a specific entry of an array. Later on when you want to calculate the linear fit, call the sub-vi to return the array of values.

How to export the data to a excel file from RSA3?

Hi experts,
1.I am trying to save the RSA (SRM extractor) to excel spread sheet to compare SRM data with BI data. When i run the the transaction RSA3 it just showed me 10 different data packets. How to export the data to excel spread sheet for reconciliation?
2. Does any body know if the stepup tables exist for SRM extractors?
Thank in advance
Sharat.

Hello Sharat,
You have two options of saving data to excel sheet:
Step 1:
Goto RSA3, change the "Data Records / Calls" to 1000 and then execute. This way instead of 10 different packets you will get one packet.
Step2:
Click on the list button, open the packet by double clicking it. You will see all the data on your screen.
Step3:
Goto System -> List -> Save - > Local File -> Spreadsheet and give some name for your xls file.
Assign points if helpful.

How to check image GPS data and get image file from image field

Hello,
I have some trouble and want to fix this problem.
1. I want to validate image file before its attached in image field about the image file have a GPS data or not. Have any way that can be check about image has contained a GPS data?
2. After validate image and PDF form is upload to the server. I want to get image file that embed in image field, because I have to extract image from PDF form and store this image in project image folder. If this topic can be fix by code script please give me some example code.
Thakyou for every comment and suggestion
Best Regards,
Mai

Hi Naill,
First I have to say thankyou for your answer.
About my (1) question, My image fields have set to be a embedded data and I try to test many example script of image fields.I can get image content type, image size. But that not work when I used ImageField1.desc.embeddedHref.value. It's response as "Unknown Embedded URI". Therefore, image field is and embedded data. How can I access filename?
(2) In that forum. As I see, his problem is about how to automate change image field with href image file. But I want to extract an exist embedded image in PDF form to normal image file with original metada (such as extract image filed to .JPEG with GPS data. Same as before attached in PDF form.). There has any concept or solution in this problem?

Download data into a local file from PCUI

Hi,
i need to export items from 'quotation' into a local file (on presentation server) with CRM4.0 and using the fileupload field type. I used the MF 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' but i had an exception error 'CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR'. Effectively it was expected since PCUI is based on BSP technology and this one requires to use methods from the 'HTTP_REQUEST' object. This last one is not accessible
from pcui methods assigned to fieldgroups... So i try to use methods from the class 'cl_abap_conv_out_ce' as i did for import items with the class 'cl_abap_conv_in_ce' but
there is no input enabling to define the file getting data.
Somebody would have an idea ?
Thank you.

Hello KB Ram,
You have a program RSECHK05 using which you can check the data of the idoc segements.
Please make a point of clicking the "Output in Internal Formal" pushbutton.
The output will come in a classical report format with which you can play around.

Open/close file in while loop

VI reads 3 temperature sensors connected to RS232 port ( external rs232/RS485 converter , sensors have different addresses). When VI starts , user is asked to chose location and filename of data log file for each sensor ( write to the same file or to new file).
3 START/STOP buttons controls data logging from sensors. Right now it just starts or stops data reading from sensor and writing to file. What I would like to have is that user is asked to enter file name and location not when wole VI starts, but when he START/STOP button is pressed. ( When user press button 1, he is asked to enter file name and location. When data logging from that sensor is stopped, file is closed. When data logging is started again, user again must select data log file). The same for START/STOP buttons 2 and 3.

GIA10N_example.vi ‏116 KB

Hello.
The short answer is that you have to put the "Open/Create/Replace File.vi" inside the case stucture, so that that executes each time a button is pressed. You should also be closing the files after you write to them, which I did not see you doing in your VI.
I am attaching a modified version of your VI which should perform what I understand you want. I am using the "Write Characters To File.vi" which is an easy top level VI for writing data to files, which opens, writes and closes the file each time it is executed.
I also removed the local variables and used the boolean buttons directly inside the sequence structure. In general, you should avoid the use of local variables unless it is absolutely necessary.
Hope this helps.

Figured it out, found similar post that stated changing the HEAP size
Increase the page size in odiparams.bat in the bin folder and restart Designer.
For eg:
set ODI_INIT_HEAP=128m
set ODI_MAX_HEAP=1024m

How should i insert into the database ?
Thanks in advance.

Like I said before you should be using your application server to serve files >from the server off the filesystem. The database should not store files this big >and should instead just have a reference to this file. I think u have not understood the problem corectly.
I will make it clear.
The requirement is as follows.
This is a j2ee based application.
Application server is oracle application server.
Database is oracle9i
it is thick client (swing based application)

like wise we may have more than 3 lacs rows in it.
We need to read this file and transfer this to the application server. Which are EJBS.
There we read this file each row in file is one row in the database for a table.
Like wise we need to insert 3 lacs records in the database.
We can use Jdbc to insert the data which is not a problem.
Only problem is how to transfer this data to server.
I can do it in one way. This is only a example
I can read all the data in StringBuffer and pass to server.
There again i get the data from StringBuffer and insert into database using jdbc.
This way if u do it. It is performance issue and takes long time to insert into the database.It even may give MemoryOutofBond exception.
just iam looking for the better way of doing this which may get good performace issue.
Hope u have understood the problem.

One instruction. But you do it from the dataset, not the DataGridView

There is a WriteXML method for a DataTable but it gives errors. Since you dataset has two tables save bot into the same xml file.
