Xbee data extracting and graphing

Hi,
I have been trying for a few days to get this to work with no results. I have searched through google and some of the forums for help with nothing that really helped.
I am using two xbee devices to transfer data to labview to graph.Eventually I would like to use the ADC on the Xbee to take an analog signal and convert it to a digital signal for labview to read and so I can do my analysis on it. I started with getting a basic Visa program to work and send number from my arduino uno over and over again and placing those values into an array This works great with no problems. The problem comes when I try and send a signal through the Xbee.
I tried to send an analog signal out to the adc and I was getting some values in labview in Hex but I was unsure what they really meant. My second attemp was just to try and create a pulse wave using my arduino and send that to labview and have labview try and graph the incoming signal. This however did not work and I am not getting any data. I connected both Xbees up on a bread board without labview to see if I can get the a signal out of the recieving xbee and it worked. So the problem should not be with my xbee's but with my code.
The code is where I am not sure about. I was able to find examples of how to use the visa and was given a basic example of it. I have then tried to manipulate the program to see if ti would work for me. I am trying to take the signal from the VISA Read funciton and convert it to a 1d array to display on a graph. I have also tried to seperate the dat into an array char by char from the string. However, none of this worked. I am getting a zero value out for my graph and no values into my array. I am also getting no value into my READ String area.
The values I have sometimes gotten look like:
00\00\00\00\00\94\00\00\ and so on with different value. Some time the byte read is very large up to 475 when I am placing the pulse wave in or so and sometimes smaller at 19 when I tried to connect the ADC.
I have attached some of my VI's to see if anyone can come up with a better way or point me in a better direction.
The png is a pic of the results I got from the pulse input. So it looks like I am not getting any data at all.
Thanks for the help
Juan

Hello jrod03,
I would suggest using the NI LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit found here (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209835) and posting your Arduino related questions in our LabVIEW Interface for Arduino community (https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/labview-interface-for-arduino).
This document will also probably be helpful to you (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8C07747189606D148625789C005C2DD6).

Data Extraction and ODS/Cube loading: New date key field added

Good morning.
Your expert advise is required with the following:
1. A data extract was done previously from a source with a full upload to the ODS and cube. An event is triggered from the source when data is available and then the process chain will first clear all the data in the ODS and cube and then reload, activate etc.
2. In the ODS, the 'forecast period' field was now moved from data fields to 'Key field' as the user would like to report per period in future. The source will in future only provide the data for a specific period and not all the data as before.
3) Data must be appended in future.
4) the current InfoPackage in the ODS is a full upload.
5) The 'old' data in the ODS and cube must not be deleted as the source cannot provide it again. They will report on the data per forecast period key in future.
I am not sure what to do in BW as far as the InfoPackages are concerned, loading the data and updating the cube.
My questions are:
Q1) How will I ensure that BW will append the data for each forecast period to the ODS and cube in future? What do I check in the InfoPackages?
Q2) I have now removed the process chain event that used to delete the data in the ODS and cube before reloading it again. Was that the right thing to do?
Your assistance will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Cornelius Faurie

Hi Cornelius,
Q1) How will I ensure that BW will append the data for each forecast period to the ODS and cube in future? What do I check in the InfoPackages?
-->> Try to load data into ODS in Overwrite mode full update asbefore(adds new records and changes previous records with latest). Pust delta from this ODS to CUBE.
If existing ODS loading in addition, introduce one more ODS with same granularity of source and load in Overwrite mode if possible delta or Full and push delta only subsequently.
Q2) I have now removed the process chain event that used to delete the data in the ODS and cube before reloading it again. Was that the right thing to do?
--> Yes, It is correct. Otherwise you will loose historic data.
Hope it Helps

Good morning,
Without the instrument it might be hard for others to help
troubleshoot the problem. Was there a
specific LabVIEW programming question you had, are you having problems with the
instrument communication, are there errors?
I’d like to help, but could you provide some more specific information
on what problems you are encountering, and maybe accompany that with a simple
example which demonstrates the behavior?
In general we don’t we will be unable to open specific code and debug,
but I’d be happy to help with specific questions.
I did notice, though, that in your logging VI you have at
least one section of code which appears to not do anything. It could be that a small section of code, or
a wire was removed and the data is not being updated correctly (see pic below). Is your file being opened properly? Is the data being passed to the file
properly? What are some of the things
you have examined so far?
Sorry I could not provide the ‘fix’, but I’m confident that
we can help. Thanks for posting, and
have a great day-

QUESTION: Essbase data extraction and Installing ODI Agent??

For extracting data from Essbase cubes, ODI has "LKM Hyperion Essbase DATA to SQL".
We can use (1). ReportScript, or (2). MDX-query, or (3). CalcScript
For data-extraction using CalcScript, ODI Agent must be running on the same server as the Essbase server.
Does anyone know if there is a need for ODI Agent on the Essbase machine if we use MDX-query method for data-extraction?
We would like to avoid installing ODI Agent for Essbase data-extraction.
.

Thanks John.
One related question. To move data from one Essbase cube to another Essbase cube using ODI Interface, Can we do it efficiently through MDX-query?
We want to avoid Replicated-partitioning OR CalcScripts, if possible.
BTW... Your ODI/Hyperion blog is a bible for us.

Byte data extraction and interpretation from a WAVE sound file

Hello,
I'm trying to extract the signal data from a WAVE-file for further processing. Suppose the WAVE-file is in 16 bit/stereo format - then I get (8 bit) low-byte and (8 bit) high-byte for the left channel first, and then the low- and high-order bytes for the right channel (I hope I've got it right this far).
Now since I'm interested in doing some frequency analysis on the signal, I need to have the amplitudes for every sample, but since each byte is signed I can't just compose the complete amplitude value from the two bytes for each channel. A simple way to solve this would be (I think) to check if a byte is negative, and if it is, store the absolute value of the byte + 127 in an integer. For example, the byte 11111111 would be interpreted as -128, but taking the absolute value and adding 127 produces 255 which would be the maximum "unsigned" value for an 8 bit binary number.
This seems like a quite "ugly" solution to me, and I don't really like ugly things. I haven't worked that much with binary math in Java, and my general knowledge on the subject is not very thorough in the first place. I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Ok, I went to buy some food and came up with another solution:
Suppose I have a sample from one of the channels in my byte array "signal" and I want to compose a (signed) total amplitude of the two bytes in the array. Code:
byte[] signal = ... ; //Get the data
int amp = 0x0000;
amp = ((signal[1] & 0xFF) << 8) | (signal[0] & 0xFF);
Here I assume that the data is aquired in little-endian format. If you have a better solution, please let me know.

Data handling and graphs

I originally wrote the graph program to handle the data in a text file that was organized like this...
vertex a
vertex b
vertex c
vertex d
edge a c
edge a d
edge d b
and now I have to change the main to accept a datafile containing...
a b
b c
c e
d g
g c
Now, here is a copy of the main program as it currently stands...

          myInfo.info();
             File sourceFile = new File(args[0]); // access the file
             if (sourceFile.exists() == false)
               System.err.println("Oops: " + sourceFile + ": No such file");
               System.exit(1);
             String newVertex, startEdge, endEdge;
             int arrayPosition = -1;

My question is is there a way to go through a file a second time and pull the vertexes from that file or, conversely, should I store the data in the file into, oh I dunno, a linked list or something that I can pull the data from? The graph part of the program works so I didn't add that file and the setting the vertexes works fine too...I'm just stuck on how to handle the edges, exactly, so does anyone have any advice? Right now, the adding edges is commented out because that was how I handled it with the original data...

Whoa, you're freakin' me out.
All you gotta do is read in the data in a new format. You can either translate the new format to the old format, or you can write a method that creates objects from the new format explicitly. That's all there is to it.

XML data extraction and new row display

I have a table named, SAPDATABROWSER, which has multiple columns and rows. A column named SAPTEXT (DataType: CLOB) consist of xml data. Each XML data is different in terms of number of nodes, but has the same following structure:
<SAP_BAPI_PROP>
<SelectedProperty>
<Structure>
<Field></Field>
<Length></Length>
<FieldValue></FieldValue>
<Type></Type>
<Priority></Priority>
</Structure>
</SelectedProperty>
</SAP_BAPI_PROP>
So now what I would like to do is, to extract the values: Field, FieldValue and Length from every row (total 72) and display the result as following,
Field FieldValue Length
XXXX YYYY ZZZZ
PPPP QQQQ RRRR
AAAA BBBB CCCC
MMMM NNNN OOOO
Again, each row (total 72) has multiple nodes inside XML data, i.e there are multiple Field,Length and FieldType Nodes and no two XML row/data are similar!
I am using the following code:
SELECT
EXTRACT (xmltype (saptext), '/SAP_BAPI_PROP/SelectedProperty/Structure/Field/text()'),
EXTRACT (xmltype (saptext), '/SAP_BAPI_PROP/SelectedProperty/Structure/Length/text()' ),
EXTRACT (xmltype (saptext), '/SAP_BAPI_PROP/SelectedProperty/Structure/FieldValue/text()' )
FROM sapdatabrowser ;
The above code generate result as following:
/SAP_BAPI_PROP/..../Field/text() /SAP_BAPI_PROP/..../Length/text() /SAP_BAPI_PROP/..../FieldValue/text()
1. XXXXPPPPAAAA YYYYQQQQBBBB ZZZZRRRRCCCC
2. MMMM NNNN OOOO
Any suggestions?! Thank you very much. :)

Thank you everyone for your input. But I am still stuck. Let me start with my SQL version:

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/2724/55760509.jpgSo there are total 72 rows, and my interest is in Column 6, SAPTEXT (type:CLOB). Each of the row has following structure:
<SelectedProperty>
<Structure>
<Field></Field>
<Length></Length>
<FieldValue></FieldValue>
<Type></Type>
<Priority></Priority>

</SelectedProperty>Each row has multiple nodes Field, Length, FieldValue.... etc. Now I would like to extract ALL: Field, Length and FieldValue nodes from ALL rows and display them in following format
Field Length FieldValue

Master data Extraction and Repeat delta

hi Expert's I am extracting master data from R/3.These are Delta loads.Now when I started extracting it is pops up message stating earlier request is not correct so repeat must be done.could any one of analyse the problem and give the solution.I also dont know how to do repeat delta.Plz explain with steps.
Thanks in Advance.
vasu.

Hi Vasu,
Goto Manage, Select the Request and make it red(See below how to make it red), then click on the Monitor icon(just side to it). It will take you to Monitor screen.
here select the particular load, on the right side, on the status tab, click on the load and make it red.
Now goback to the infopackage, schedule, it will do repeat delta.If the Problem still persist, then delete the Requet in the Manage screen and schedule again. This should work

Generic data extraction and loading to cube

Hello guys, I am trying to load R3 data thru Gernic extraction to infocube in bw3.5.
I just created generic DS and activated it and also Replicated in BW side.
I am trying to extract transaction data - from FI , DS has Ship Info Table fields in the extraction structure.
Everything got activated and now i am in BW side, just assigned DS to infosource.
But i am stuck in Transfer rules, all infoobjects on the left are empty and it wont let me activate.
I am really confused, Should i be creating infoobjects first , because i havent created infocube yet.
My DS has about 12 fields , I really need someone to tell me why its not activating Transfer rules, Comm structure is still empty.
Should i be creating INfocube first with KF and Chars?or how am i supposed to map these DS fields in the Infocube (my data target)?
I guess i am not clear at this point, even with LO extraction I could get create DS and replicate in BW , but once i am in BW i become clueless i should say.I did search other posts here but couldnt find anything that help me understand this.if someone could explain me in a simple terms i would appreciate it.
I have created DS with extraction structure, i am in BW , so whatever field i selected in extract structure in R3 side f rom the table , is that going to be Chars and Key figures in my Infocube once i complete Loading ? or how would that work? Why would we need to chose specific Table when creating view , assuming that we already know the data that we need for reporting purposes, we would know those data should be on what table correct?
please drop some lines to help me thanks

hello again, i am writing this since i didnt get any response. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me little hint , i have been practicing on my own using bw system and need help from you Pros.
My previous question was regarding Transfer rule . I am still not able to get through that steps.
This is what i have done so far:
-created DS generic for transaction data, using View VBAK table (not sure if this was the right table, i just wanted to see if i would be successful loading data in the cube).
- ACtivated DS, replicated in BW, Assigned INfosource.
- I selected 15 Fields from DS (extraction structure ) from that VBAK table.
- But when i am in Transfer rule ./structure screen, there are many fields appearing.
- It will let me active the Transfer Rules, however i also created InfoCube , it asked me to chose at least one Time Chars, and KF. But i used Template using my infosource, there were no KFs . so i figured i need to change Transfer rule. I tried to create Key figure infoobject on the right side of the screen in Transfer rules, but it will not move to the right when i tried to transfer it.
My question is, why there are more fields in this screen and some fields are not appearing the one i selected.
Since i chose transaction Generic DS,is that why i have to have Key figures? did i chose worng table VBAK for practice purpose? i dont really see much Keyfigures when i looked the content of this table using SE16.
Guys please suggest me , what route should i take to get through this confusion.
My main objective here is to simply load R3 data using Genric DS(transacitonal) into a customized infocube.
I get error when creating Update rule, infosource and infocube wouldn not link, i think its becoz i didnt have any keyfigures available when creating Infocube ? how would i chose one?
anyone please throw me some suggestions ..i would really appreciate it.thanks again for reading

Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

Data Staging:
Data extraction and transformation is done here.
Meaning that, if we have source data in flat file, we extract it and load into staging tables, we take care of nulls, we change datetime format etc.. and after such cleansing/transformation at then end, load it to Dim/Fact tables
Pros: Makes process simpler and easy and also we can keep track of data as we have data in staging
Cons: Staging tables need space hence need memory space
Dimension Table:
tables which describes/stores the attribute about specific objects
Below is star schema which has dimension storing information related to Product, Customer etc..
