Writing time stamp to file

Take a look at the attached pic.
Okay, now how can I have the time stamp written to the file along with the other data?
It should be an easy thing but I can't make it work.
Any comments will be helpful.
Thanks

A timestamp in not a signal data type so you can't use the merge signals. This is how I would do it. The convert to dynamic data type is probably optional. I hardly ever work with that.

How do I get time stamped Wav files created in L7 to lock to time code?

Hello everyone,
I did a search about time stamping audio files and was VERY happy to discover the "broadcast wave" format timestamps audio files! So I'm running tests, but cant seem to get logic to actually place the audio file according to the time stamp!
Method: I'm currently scoring a film, and have each cue as separate logic files. To sync Logic's timecode and the TC window burn, I set in the "sync" song settings that bar 1 play at the start of the cue (no offset). For example, If I want to start writing a cue at 1:06:27:05, I just tell logic that bar 1 starts at 1:06:27:05 and start writing. Both logics TC & The window burn TC match perfectly. When I bounce, I choose my bars and bounce as a "wave," which creates a file with time code stamped. I verify this by looking at the file in the audio window, which shows a clock icon, as well as the specific smpte time code if you select the file before importing into the audio bin.
From here, how do I get logic to automatically place the audio files according to their time code? I've tried "import audio" directly into the arrange page as well as dragging the file over from the audio bin and neither work. I've also tried then "cutting" these and "paste at original position" hoping it would read the time code, but instead just pastes it where it was originally imported, not according to the time code.
So I'm stumped! What am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance for your help!

Highlight the regions and then from the audio menu select "move regions to original record positions"

Time Stamp in File attachement name

HI all,
I have done a proxy to mail scenario and sending data as attachement to the mail with the required name say "abcd.csv"
everything is working fine...now the doubt is...
is there any possibilty we can add time stamp to the file name like "abcd_timestamp.csv" or "abcd.csv_timestamp" ..with writing or updating modules we can achive this but is there any simple way to do this..?
please give ur inputs.
Thanx

HI,
With MessageTransformBean you need to provide the static name for the file.
But Michal had given nice blog to have adapter module that will provide the dynamic file name.
Refer the code he had given
The specified item was not found.

Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks

Ignore time stamp in file name to load infopackage

Hi
Everyday a .csv file gets written into a particular folder in my application server. the filename is as TESTYYYYMMDDHHMM.csv.
Now i have written a program to pick up the file with TESTYYYYMMDD, but the time stamp doesnt match, hence i have to ignore it when i read the file.
Can someone please tell me some simple logic/Abap code to ignore the time stamp in the name? i have tried using TESTYYYYMMDD*.csv, but that doesnt work.
Please help. this is very urgent.
Thanks
Sushmita

I read the content of the folder into an internal table usign EPS_GET_DIRECTORY listing. i cud read that into a variable, using a simple loop.
and pass it to the Infopackage as file name.

*.eml Time Stamp - Select File in Windows Explorer Changes the Modified Date

The Windows Live Mail *.eml files time stamp is getting changed to the current date when the file is selected in the Windows Explorer! I save backup copies of important E-mails to folders on the Hard Drive and then synchronize them with the same folders on other LAN Hard Drives for backup archives. When these E-mail files are selected or opened from the Windows Explorer in the Windows 7 OPS the Modified Date Time Stamp is changed to the current date automatically! This action creates a real problem when doing later synchronizations of all of the folders! The date will not be the original date of the E-mail and the original file will be over copied with the file with the newest date stamp. I stopped Indexing on the *.eml files and that stopped the time stamp change when overcopy synchronization, but if the file is selected during a viewing in Windows Explorer then the Time Stamp is updated to the current date again! A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated if anybody knows of one. Thanks - - - Shorto

The Date and Timestamp changing issue in Windows 7 has a two part fix!
1. Disable the Indexing of the *.eml file type in the Indexing Options located by Clicking on "Control Panel" - "Indexing Options" - Advanced Button - File Types Tab - scroll down to the .eml file type and uncheck the Box then click OK to finish, so
that the Email type of files won't be Indexed.
2. Delete the Registry Entry listed below, be sure to Export and Save the original Key so it could be Restored if something goes wrong! \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers
and Delete the .eml entry
That should fix the problem with the changing Date/Timestamp of Email Files. For more information read CarlS's WindowsSeven Fourm thread where I also have more input:
http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/35334-eml-files-timestamps-updated-constantly.html
This should give you a better understanding on the problem and the Fix. - - - Shorto

Time stamp a file

Hi I have a text file that I need to time stamp,
however I want to appear in the following format
let us say it is 9:28 p.m Aug 10, 2003
So my file name should appear like
20030810_09_28.txt
is there a way to accomplish this??
please let me know...many thanks in advance

yep,,figured it out...Thanks
in case someone needs the code, here it is
   long mills = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
   Timestamp time = new Timestamp(mills);
   SimpleDateFormat formatter;
   String pattern = "yyMMddHHmmssZ";
   formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
   String output = formatter.format(time);
   int i = output.indexOf("-");
   String fileName = "c:/" + output.substring(0,i) + ".txt";

Accuracy of time stamp in file

I'm rying to get the best way to display the system time at the start of my data collection. Basically have the system time show up as the first sample +/- .010 seconds. I am wondering if this VI will do it for me. It is a basic stream to file VI with a "get cpu time" if the loop iteration is 0. Let me know if you guys think this will do what I am trying to accomplish.

Cont Acq&Graph Voltage - Set File Properties (CSV).zip ‏65 KB

I'm having some trouble understanding why you are removing the start time information and then putting it back in. Your waveform data type has a t0. Have you looked at using the Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File?
Also, the wiring of the iteration terminal to an indicator, then using a local variable, then doing a comparison is silly. If you want to do something only on the first iteration, wire the iteration terminal directly to the case statement selector.

Writing time to a file along with data

Hello,
I have a vi which I'm using to collect voltages. From the data collector vi, all 8 channels are output as an array of waveforms which I then split off. I'm splitting the channels so that I can convert the readings from volts to engineering units (inches, lbs, etc), then merging the signals back as shown in the attached jpg. My problem is I need to have a time column on the left but I cannot figure out how to do this. I've tried many different methods, yet as I'm still a novice, I'm sure there is something I have not tried. I need to be able to get times in milliseconds (relative to the beginning of recording) and possibly 0.000 1 second intervals.
Thank you in advance,
Robbie

The time column in the LVM file is more of a convenience to spreadsheet users than anything else. You can recreate it from the t0,dt of the waveforms the LVM read returns. You can either use a FOR loop with the t0, dt as inputs or the ramp generation VI. Add the result to the beginning of the array of waveforms the LVM read returns, and then save.
If you want to be more efficient and not kill your RAM as bad, try the following method using the LVM data directly;
Open your new file and write your header
Open the LVM file as a normal file
Read the LVM file and toss the data until you get to the end of the header "***End_of_Header***".
Copy the data from the LVM file to your file directly
The specification for the LVM file can be found here, if you want to dive into it a bit deeper.

Trimming Time Stamp in File Name using IC

Hello,
scenario is File to File without mapping. We are using Integrated configuaration to achieve this.
Issue is on target side file name is being written as xyz.ddmmyyyy-ssssss
but we need to eliminate milliseconds and need target file name as xyz.ddmmyyyy only.
any inputs on how to achieve this please? I am struck here as we cant use UDF since we do not have mappings.
Thanks.

Hello,
Aside from scripts, you can use an adapter module to fulfill your requirement:

File name with Dateand time stamp.

Hi All,
I want to generate a file with a date and time stamp.
For that in File Receiver adaptor i am using option "Add Time Stamp" in File Construction mode. however it is generationg file name as: FileName_20082104_121211_645.txt . In this I don't know what these last three characters "_645" are? And In the File name i only want a file name with datetime stamp . I don't require underscore in between. for eg: FileName_20082104121211.txt (FileName_dateTime.txt)
Can anybody suggest me the way to achive this?
Thanks,
Atul

@FileName_20082104_121211_645
The date time stamp in XI's file adapter will be in that format. This is to avoid over writing of files created simultaneously at the same time. So the last 3 digits is a form of an unique id to distinguish between the same.
In case you want the format as FileName_20082104_121211, use the dynamic configuration and create the file name inside the mapping itself and pass it across.
To get an idea about the same, ref:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14 - an usage of the same.

Time stamp data write to file problem

Hello!
I'm just learning LabView, and have arrived at the stage of writing time-stamped data to text files.
This seems clear enough, however when I examine the file written to disk, I find 4 unexpected characters: 3 spaces and one seemingly random number or punctuation mark, preceding every line!
An example is:
   .2005-07-15 10:55:40.0 the value is 0.0000 cm
   .2005-07-15 10:55:40.5 the value is 1.0000 cm
The four characters "   ." are those whose origin I can't understand. I can't seem to get rid of them.
They seem to change with the input string, but not in a manner I can predict or understand.
Any hints or explanations would be greatly appreciated, as I'm at wit's end after 1/2 day of puzzling over this little problem!

time stamp data write VIs.zip ‏24 KB

Alex,
You found one of the subtle little things that can be frustrating to old-timers and newcomers alike. I did not recognize it until I read the help file (and I have been using LV since version 1.2).
First, the three characters before the commas are nulls (\00).
The reason they are there is in the help file for the Write File.vi. By wiring an array to the data input, you caused the VI to write a header telling what data format was used.
I modified your VI to simply concatenate the strings and then write a simple string to the file. I think this may be what you were after.
