Zooming x and y axis in signal express Data view

Dear All,
How can I zoom in both and y axis in signal express data view?
sincerely,
Munir.

You can zoom either axis by changing the min and max labels to the value you want.  Click on the label and you can edit the label.  To zoom the X Axis you can also select the zoom button next to the axis.

  • How do I open/view Signal Express Data .tdms files? (Absolutely Brand New User!)

    Hi everyone,
    I've inherited this data recording software from a previous engineer and tried it out for the first time the other week. Mind you I have no manuals or help really here, so bear with me that this is probably a very basic question.
    I had a set-up using the Labview Signal Express ver.2.5 and NI-USB-6008 monitoring two voltages. I currently want to see the playback of the .tdms files which are located in my C:\Documents and Settings\TechSupport\My Documents\SignalExpress Data\08042009_015232_PM folder (3 files, voltage.tdms, voltage.tdms_index, and voltage_meta). I opened LabVIEW Signal Express and clicked "File", "Import", "Logged Signals From SignalExpress TDMS Files", and go to select the "voltage.tdms" file, but receive the error of "You cannot choose this folder name; a file of that name already exists".
    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks for any and all help (and let the sarcastic comments begin )

    Sometimes, selecting current folder instead of open is a valid workaround. 
    Also, can you identify the program responsible for creating the log data? Are you able to view this data using another progarm like LabVIEW or DIAdem?

  • Can I send the zoomed portion of a signal from data view to the next step

    I get a zoom window on Data View when I select it.  Can I send the zoomed portion to the next step or use it in any way?  If I Create VI with this,  will the zoomed portion show up in the VI?   Will a graph of any kind show up in the VI?

    Hi,
    Thankyou for posting to the National Instruments Forums.
    The feature you are looking for is the Subset and Resample step which may not be the exact thing you are looking for. If indeed this does not fulfil your needs we would love to hear about what features you would like implemented at the Product Suggestion Center.
    Hope this helps!

  • Plotting x and y axis from two different data

    Hi everyone,
    I've just started using LabView on my new job. My new task is to create a VI to display a plot an XY graph from two data. How do I actually assign the two different data (X and Y axis resepctively)and plot them out on a same graph??
    Please help me out... my job is on the line!

    Other may post an example for you.
    I will tell how to find this and many other answers.
    Do a "Find Examples" from either the LV open screen or from the Help drop down.
    LV ships with examples that demonstrate almost every basic operation.
    One of the big benifits of these examples is that they work! If they do not, NI is interested in finding which ones do not.

  • How to view both real data and timestamp informatio​n in TDM data viewer?

    Attached, I have a VI that uses NI-Scope (NI-5122) to digitize and store data.  I have added some TDMS functions in order to save waveform data in binary format ( our acquisition time is around 3 hours and the files become very large)  As you can see, I am using TDM file viewer to view the data, the problem I am having is that I can only see the voltages and not time stamps.  I am interested in viewing and analyzing timestamped data.  I do see that the graph contains both voltages and timestamps and idealy I would like to see both in the value tab.
    Please let me know what is the best way to see both sets of data. 
    Thanks!

    The TDMS file does preserve the timing information for a waveform, you can see it if you go to the 'Properties' tab.  The attributes are there to calculate the waveform timestamp data, however, it does not look like the code behind the TDMS file viewer supports displaying the timestamp values in a column on the 'Values' tab.  This seems like a good case for filing a product suggestion.  As for a work-around, if you are set on using a TDMS file and viewing the timing information you would require a custom version of a TDMS file viewer.

  • LEGO Mindstorms 2.0 crashes at startup when LabView Signal Express is installed first

    When NI Circuit Design Suite Education Edition is installed first in a computer and the LEGO Mindstorms software second, the LEGO Mindstorms software doesn't work, it reports the following:
    Error: A required file is broken
    Possible Solutions: Reinstall the LEGO Mindstorms NXT Driver  (tried but doesn't work)
    Error code: 1003
    Ordinal not found
    The ordinal 18 could not be located in the dynamic link library NIVISV32.dll
    Error loading "fantom.dll"
    The operating system can not run %1
    On other computers the LEGO software starts running, it displays part of the initial screen and then a small window opens saying that the Mindstorms software has has an error and that it will close. The previous report doesn't show.
    If LabView Signal Express is uninstalled and then the LEGO software reinstalled, the LEGO software works.
    I've dowloaded and installed new and old versions of the NIVISV32.dll and this doesn't correct the problem. I went as far as version 4.20 of the dll because it is dated in 2007 and the dll file installed by the LEGO software when it works is also dated 2007, but if I install the dll without uninstalling LabView Signal Express, the LEGO software continues not working.
    Please advice how to correct this problem without having to uninstall LabView Signal Express first. If the LEGO software is installed first, is LabView Signal Express going to use and not to replace the old 2007 version of the dll installed by the LEGO software? Is there any LEGO software update that corrects this problem?
    I repeat: I know a solution is to uninstall LabView Signal Express, install LEGO Mindstorms and then reinstall LabView Signal Express but I have 60 computers already cloned and deployed with this problem, so I don't want to go to this long process to fix the problem. The computers are using Windows 7 and problems happen on both the 32 and 64 bits versions of Windows 7.
    Any ideas???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I couldn't reproduce the error either, but in our x86 computers this problem appeared after several months; we used LEGO Mindstorms last time in Summer 2011 without any problems and just three weeks ago when we were checking the computer for our Summer 2012 classes if when we noticed the problem. I’m still going to try to reproduce the error in an x64 computer where the problem appeared immediately.
    Anyway, I’m attaching a word file with images of captured screens where you can see the error reports generated by LEGO Mindstorms and a series of steps uninstalling and reinstalling these program plus LabVIEW, until LEGO Mindstorms finally works after having uninstalled all traces of LabVIEW.
    Images can be expanded and zoomed in to a better view of the details and if I can reproduce the problem in an x64 computer I’ll let you know.
    Please see if you can find out something based on the images I’m sending.
    Thank you.

  • Signal Express project document questions

    Hi,
    I'm using Signal Express 2009 to log two current signals(4-20mA) from a NI9219 card mounted on cDAQ9172 chassis.
    Signal #1 on NI9219 channel ai1 is a pressure signal, scaled unit for this signal is PSIA
    Signal #2 on NI9219 channel ai2 is a differential pressure signal, scaled unit for this signal is inch.water
    I have no trouble to view the signals on Data View, both are displayed with the correct value with correct engineering unit shown on Y-axis.
    But when I display the two signals in Project Document, wierd thing happened: signal #1 is displayed in correct value but in inch.water; while signal #2 is displayed in correct value but in PSIA.
    Anybody knows what went wrong?

    Flow_TEST_PR4000.seproj ‏343 KB

    Hey bon2b,
             When I opened your file, The inlet pressure is in psia and the differential pressure is in inches of water in the project documentation. From what I understand, that is what you wanted. Is that correct? If so you might just need to close and reopen it. Are you talking about the compound graph in the project documentation? I dont see any graphs of individual data, so for the compound graphs, both scales are present on the y-axis.

  • Problems activating signal express 2.0 in labview

    Hello,
    I have purchased a copy of LabVIEW Base Edition 8.2.1 and Signal Express 2.0.  I receive the following error when I create a LabVIEW VI containing a Signal Express VI (in this case a Signal Express Create Signal VI):
    NI_MAPro.lvib:
    This library is invalidly licensed for this computer.  Please contact your National Instruments sales representative to request an upgrade to access the functionality of this library.
    NI_Gmath.lvib:
    This library is invalidly licensed for this computer.  Please contact your National Instruments sales representative to request an upgrade to access the functionality of this library.
    NI_AALPro.lvib:
    This library is invalidly licensed for this computer.  Please contact your National Instruments sales representative to request an upgrade to access the functionality of this library.
    I have activated both the LabVIEW application and the Signal Express application and they both work fine indepedently.

    Some SignalExpress 2.0 Express VIs require functionality that is only available in LabVIEW Full or Pro.  Therefore, if you have LabVIEW Base and drop the Create Signal Express VI, your VI will be broken.  (If you convert the Create Signal Express VI to a subVI, you could find the VIs in question).

  • Signal Express logging issues

    I am having trouble with the Signal Express advanced logging features. For example, logging will not start at a specified Date/time. I also don't understand the interval logging. If I specify the log to start every 25 seconds and then specify a stop condition of a duration of 5 seconds, I expect the software to log every 25 seconds for 5 seconds. Instead, the logs start immediately for 5 seconds (as I would expect), but then log 2 starts 30 seconds after log 1. Log 3 starts 55 seconds after log 2, log 4 starts 80 seconds after log 3, etc.
    Any input would be appreciated. 

    Hi,
    I had a chance to create a program that logs 5 seconds of data every 25 seconds.  After looking at your program I saw that I had the same settings.  I attached a screen shot of my data view and also attached my signal express project.  I noticed that the time the data was being sampled was correct and the log files were perfect.  The only discrepancy was that the log file time did not correspond to the actual time the data was acquired.

  • Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
    I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
    I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
    My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
    If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
    But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
    I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
    I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
    Thanks,
    Callahan

    Hi Callahan,
    SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
    1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
    2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
    3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
    4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
    5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
    Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
    Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.

  • How to append data in same log after start and stop signal express

    how can i append my data to the same log file after starting and stopping the signal express ? Is there some option to do this. After start/stop it always makes a new log file. How can append datat to the same log file. 
    Thanks in advance.

  • Labview Signal Express and Matlab

    Hello,
    I am using Labview Signal Express to acquire and log data from an injection moulding machine (with NI USB-6218).
    The logs contain more than 65000 samples so my boss told me to treat the data with Matlab.
    Can anyone tell me how to do that? (I think that I have to export these data in a text file before but how???)
    Thank you very much for your help
    Regards.
    Helene

    Hi there, I’m currently studying mechatronics in Sligo institute of Technology in Ireland and we have to do a SCADA project using LabVIEW to control an injection moulding process. I work in the Water and waste water treatment area so I’ve no experience of Injection Moulding. I found your address on the web and was wondering would you have any screen shots of what an injection moulding SCADA interface would look like or a schematic/P&ID  of an injection moulding process. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Richard Crowe

  • I PXI 1010 with Digital Osci, RIO cards. Any simple projects to illustrate PXI with Signal Express and/or using Digital Osc.?

    I have PXI 1010 with card for Digital Osc. Also have ELVIS. Any suggestions on oa simple project to illustrate applications of PXI - using Dig OSc and/or ELVIS. Any suggestions to illustrate PXI with Signal Express exercises. This is for undergraduates in EE Engg.

    Hi, yes, that does help, thank you for your reply.  Signal express does make it easy to work with multiple devices, as I am, though something seems to be amiss with the timing between cards.  For example, setting Signal Express to do nothing more than log data at 100 pts/sec on all channels on all three cards (PCI-6289), and using the software trigger in Signal Express to start the digitization process, and the stop button, to stop data logging, certainly seems to be a very convenient solution.  However, the longer I record (an hour seems to be enough time), the more likely that a signal recorded on all three cards, will not synch, point to point, (comparing signals recorded on channel 0 on all three cards, which I believe should be captured simultaneously through out the recording process, for example) and data recording does not stop simultaneously on all three cards.  I can handle the data logging not stopping simultaneously, but my source signal apparently not being recorded synchronously is a whole other problem, and the impetus for my question.  Thanks for the tip about NI-SCOPE, I was going to start working with that on a different project.
    I am using the most recent versions of SignalExpress, NIDAQmx drivers, etc., on a PC running 64-bit windows 7.

  • PWS4000 and Signal Express

    Hi,
    I recently get a PWS4305 power supply, I installed SignalExpress as recommended.
    I just want to generate a signal and control the PWS with labview.
    So I selected 'add step' ->'tektronix'->'generate a signal' -> 'tektronik power supply'.
    Here, a display shows two line, one for the voltage, another one for the current.
    I can find my PWS in the VISA Ressource. But how can I generate a signal ?
    Thank you

    egfrgr,
    I believe you may need to download and install the following SignalExpress step before using your PWS4305:
    LabVIEW SignalExpress Step for PWS4000 V2.0.0
    Please read through the release notes for installation and usage instructions, copied here for reference.
    Steps for using the Steps:
    1. Run the setup.exe provided as part of Step Installer.
    2. Open the LabVIEW SignalExpress Tektronix Edition software.
    3. Click "Add Step" in the LabVIEW SignalExpress Tektronix Edition main menu and select Tektronix-> Generate Signals -> select your instrument series.
    4. The Step appears in the Project View of Signal Express and is ready to be used.
    5. Connect the instrument to your PC.
    Note: You can check the connection to your Instrument using the Measurement & Automation Explorer or the TekVISA OpenChoice Instrument Manager.
    6. Next, select the device in the LabVIEW SignalExpress step by selecting the "VISA Resource" tab and selecting the device in the "VISA Resource Name" drop down list. At this point, the interface is ready for use.
