• conversion binary string in a file

  I need help to decode a binary string. I get a binary string to a webserivce representing a .pdf file. I want to be able to view this file on my en somehow. I played with binardecode and what not but am having no luck. When I do a check to isbinary() on the channel it says that the file is not binary, but it is. (I coded the webservice file is sending me the same way and they are the same.) Anyone got any ideas?

  Normally, you do something like this:
  
  

  
  

  Then link to or display the PDF in the usual way.

• little binary string in array (of TCP read) to the table of Boolean LV (and back)

  I would like to ask what is the easiest way for the next conversion? We use aTCP Read function to read an incoming binary string to a S7 API using LabVIEW. We know that LabVIEW stores a Boolean value to 8 bits. The incoming binary string contains 14 bits (representing 14 indicators of status). What is the best way to convert these values of 14-bit LabVIEW Boolean table?

  In addition, we send a LAbVIEW Boolean table in the PLC data (to write a TCP) string containing status bits.

  Thank you very much!

  Martins wrote:

  This 30 bytes contains some data more, including 14 bit flags (size is 14 bits). Since the PLC cannot put 'together' (16-bit) words at his side before sending data TCP, 14 bits is padded with 2 bits holding no valueable info.

  Then the solution is simple.  Take your 2 bytes and unflatten in a U16.  Then use Boolean table number.

• Incorporate the binary string in the string spreadsheet file

  Hello LabVIEW wizards...

  So I use scripture to VI file spreadsheet to create a beautiful layout, tabs-delimited report of one of my programs for the acquisition of data file. In one of the cells in the resulting worksheet file that I want to put a binary string of all my control values so when you open the data file all the control parameters used for its manufacture are restored, but the string is hidden when the report is displayed in Excel.

  The problem is that the binary string flattened uses tabs and returns as part of its syntax the Spreadsheet File this VI to Write it's going in all directions. Worse yet, I can't unflatten chain when I open the file text because of "corrupt data or unexpected".

  If I concatenate the string flattened with quotes around it she is superb and is placed in a single cell in Excel, but when I open the file in LabVIEW that she is still several elements in the array. I've isolated the binary string using the file VI text reading and got a subset of the quoted string, but it still unflatten correctly.

  Essentially, I need to know how to get LabVIEW to pull a string literal full of special characters into a spreadsheet file and it unflatten. Any gurus what help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  I suggest that you change the formatting of your chain shipped by replacing the tabs and returns with other characters that are not considered as commands by the spreadsheet functions. Without knowing how you represent your control binary values, I can't offer specific characters.

  If two non-printable characters exist which do not appear in the control data, it's easy: just find and replace tabs and returns with those characters.  If there is no character, then something more complex needs to be done for example to escape special characters.  Or create two subVIs - one to remove the tabs and returns before writing the string in the file and the other to restore after reading.

• By the way the table of Clusters with binary strings via adapter LabVIEW

  I need to go through LabVIEW adapter table clusters containing binary strings.
  These data will be subsequently stored in the MySQL database.

  I need to force the option "Binary string" for the ValBinary element, even if my output array is empty.

  Is this possible?

  Used versions: TestStand 4.2.1 + LabVIEW 8.6.1

  Attached file: valbinary2.vi containing the clusters of test output array.

  Howdy Jean-Louis,

  My apologies, I'm not quite your question. You're right that LabVIEW does not know that a string is a binary star strong; LabVIEW, chain stores in a format of Pascal, looks like all the strands in the same way. Because TestStand stores strings in the C type format, on the other hand, the null (0x00) characters can be confusing when interpreting strings in TestStand as you learned to understand. That is of course why TestStand offers the feature to interpret strings as binary strings.

  As Sylvie refers to his post, to illustrate his point I created within TestSTand an array of the same type of data customized to store past out of your valbinary.vi of test data. Test patterns, I also edited the outputsome constant values to the cluster VI. (See the following screenshot). Note that the last string (named ValBinary) in the cluster contains a hexadecimal string with a null character that is inserted as the 3rd on-screen character (before the actual end of the string).

  

  Here is a screenshot of the created sequence file that calls the VI and then displays the number of items in the table from the VI to the user.  Note that the Locals.MyTestData table is empty before the execution of the sequence.

  

  Finally, as the execution of the sequence, I opened the Variables pane to view the contents of the Locals.MyTestData table. Here, I have confirmed that the "binary" string of LV was successfully passed in and stored by TestStand.

  

  Finally, the popup message in the second step of the sequence shows indeed a message indicating there were two elements in Locals.MyTestData.

  This sequence has been able to run successfully even without manually specifying a size of Locals.MyTestData beforehand. TestStand dynamically allocated the necessary elements to store the results of test valbinary.vi.

• How to parse a binary string

  Hi people,

  I read a binary string to a Sonic anemometer of campbell. It is transmitted via RS 232 9600 baud. The problem is the following:

  I read the entry stamp from time to time (all 300 ms). The outpit of the sonic is much faster (every 30ms). There is only a certain amount of stored bytes I've read. To get a correct value, I find 2-byte endpoint AA HEX and HEX 55. A complete sentence consists of 12 bytes 10 bytes each endpoint U8 values and 2 bytes. How to search for them?

  My idea was to see how many bytes, I read, convert each in a binary table and then show them as boolean table all together (see annex VI). It works but I can not find the expression just binary AA Hex and 55. And it is as interesting as the first column (bit 0) and last (bit 7) always remain 'false. ' I'm doing something wrong?

  So it would have been more useful if you would have posted the example that has been read data.  Because I didn't have everything I've done a few.  The attached VI will look for places where the hexadecimal byte AA then 55.  It then divides the sections of data using this information.  I wrote it two ways because I was typing this I thought of a better way that uses string functions to break the data into a data table.

• Number to String Conversion

  So the question is, which is rounded up my numbers?  Or, more generally, what have I done wrong here?

  The main program this sub.vi works for the needs these numbers as strings, and I think I picked the wrong number to string conversion .vi or missed a configuration somewhere, because the program takes perfectly good number like - 0.340316 and rounded to-0 (zero negative? it's zero, negative).

  The zero negativity hand, the number of decimal string .vi is rounded up my whole numbers.

  The function is supposed to be converted in its entirety. Just go to help > show contextual help and read the description. The desired function is called fractional number of string.

• binary string to number

• ASCII to HEX Strings BIG string

  Hello guys,.

  I know that it is already a lot of posts on this issue, but I couldn't find exactly what I need and also could not manage to solve it myself...

  I need to convert a string with ASCII characters in a string that contains these characters in HEXADECIMAL representation.

  What I did:

  

  Apparently, it works very well, but only for a limited number of characters defined by the representation of the data of the constant 0 (U64). It allows me to convert that 8 ASCII characters, as you can see from the image below:

  

  So, it converted from 0 to 7, but not the other characters (8 and 9).

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  What is the data type of the constant plugs into the cast.  My guess is that it is a U64.  So it will be cataloged only the first 8 bytes of your string to a number, then you do hex on these 8 numbers.

  Use the string to byte array.  Or you could also catalogued where an array of integers U8 is connected to the conversion function.

• Number in hexadecimal string conversion problem

  Hello

  for a serial communication, I need to send byte-code in an ascii hexadecimal string. When I use the constants and send them by VISA to the COM port it works fine, but if I use converters numbers it doesn't. Can someone show me what I'm doing wrong?

  Since your string indicator is set to hexadecimal display, it seems you want to a hexadecimal string, a single byte/number.

  (You are currently using a hexadecimally format string, composed exclusively of ASCII of the 2 characters/byte "0.F" characters.) This is not what you want!).

  Here is another solution using type conversion:

  

• How to detect the Null characters in a binary string

  In my application, I send around real binary data in the strings and the flattened data structures and sometimes I'm in the null string. I was wonder if there is a way to NULL dectet characters in a string. Thanks for your help.

  Josh

  Josh,

  A null character is 00 hex.  If you use the match pattern and search of a null string, it must find.  To enter a null control set or the constant to '-' Codes view and type 00.

  Another way is to convert the string to an array of U8 and search in the table to 0.

• Hexadecimal, binary string.

  I have 33 bytes of data in hexadecimal format and do not know how he analysis of eleven pieces of 24 bits of binary data. I tried different configurations of hexadecimal string, number and Type of Casting, but have not yet been successful. I would like a table with 11 elements, each consisting of 24 - bit binary.

  The entry is formatted as such:

  (Hexadecimal display)
  4445 4647 4849 4A4B 4C4D 5051 5253 5455 5657 5859 5A5B 5C5D 5E5F 6061 AAAB AC 4E4F

  Please let me know if more info is needed, thank you for the help!

  There is not a 24-bit data type, so you will need to store them U32. You need to "pad" of your data so that it can fit.

  

• String ASCII to decimal string and its sum

  Hi all

  I am a beginner in Labview and this is my first post on the forum.

  I get a package series "1200F" on a MCU COM port. These are all ASCII characters.

  I want to convert all of these ASCII characters into decimal numbers and add their decimal values to get the sum. So I took the ASCII string in a table using "Array of strings of bytes" and then typecast this constant using type U8. I put this in a loop and collects the decimal value using the Array function build. So I "Add elements of an array" function to add these decimal values to get the sum.

  The problem is that for the input string, I am able to get the sum of "1200" only. At the time wherever I type the last character ASCII F, the sum does not. I see that when the sum exceeds 255 it resets again from 0. I have attached the VI for reference.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  

  Convert 32 to avoid the limitation 255 of U8.

• On the digital unit of string conversion

  Hello world

  I'm trying to convert a digital control with min as a unit to a string.

  The fact is that it converts in seconds before it updates the channel indicator.

  

  I noticed that the format "in channel" will convert always first to the base unit (unit multiple value of units conversion value), as W kW (10 kW will display 10000 W) to watt unit.

  Is there a way to format the entry without this conversion value to the first base unit?

  Thank you...

  If you are looking for the syntax of using LabVIEW Format specifier, you'll see a unit option.

  This is the format that you want to keep the string in a few minutes: g {min} %
