• for loop nested within a while loop

  I wrote a data logging VI to get data from a data acquisition, then write on a worksheet. It worked well. What I'm trying to do now and I am having problems is to place that vi within a while loop that will automatically write a new file name after the loop For ends its iterations. In a text based program when the loop finished I would just send it to the while loop for her write the new file name, and then run the loop data collection and spreadsheet iterations of writing.  Here is the general outline of the operations of the program.

  Set the file name and path based on iterations of the loop (eventually this will be the date and time)

  run to the loop for the specified iterations:

  read DAQ

  write data to a .csv spreadsheet

  In specified iterations are more:

  new name of file writley

  Rerun the loop for

  Repeat this until you press stop

  What actually happens is the file name and path are established, the loop runs through its iterations, but wrote that the last set of data and then the program stops.

  any ideas?  Program attached

  Don't know about the termination of the program. I replaced the methods with a random number generator and everything seemed good environment according to the writing of worksheet to add instead of create a new file each time that work.

  p.s., cleaned up the wiring to make it readable - counties of cleanliness.

• How to do while loop that runs and re - index reset continually

  Hello

  I'm trying to send and read data through the serial port. I'll send separate strings that are stored in a table and the serial port read a value that is returned from my instrument for each string that is sent to it. The table is indexed by the 'i' in the while loop. My problem is, the while loop runs until it reaches the maximum array index + 1, then stop. I would like to have the index restart to zero once it reaches the maximum of 'i' - value, then it returns the values of my table again. It is essentially a program to monitor for an instrument, and I need to continually update the variables in the monitor. I'm new to Labview but is really cool! If someone would be kind enough to help, I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you

  Please do not do this.

  A Quotient function and the rest is all you need. Entry is equal to the size of the array.

  

• How to reset a while loop based on a value change event?

  Hi all

  I work in a labview program that sends voltage to a laptop via USB 6008, tension is amplified by an op-amp, and then he comes back in the laptop. I created a program and a working circuit, but my current challenge is how to reset the average of the values of voltage coming into the laptop, after that the user changes the digital control (which controls the output voltage). In other words, I need to be able to reset the number of iteration and the sum to 0 each time this happens.

  I looked upward to reset the counters of iteration through shift registers, but I'm not sure it will work in this case, but I'm also not sure how to reset the sum of an array (if possible). I have spent a lot of time to read these forums and tutorials from various sites, so I think it can be done with the correct nesting of the case structures, structures of the event and while loops, but I don't know how. I am new to LV, just started to learn in mid-January, so any help is appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Graeme

  You just need the structure of single event with the bargains.  Use the case of timeout to get your new values and find the average (100ms timeout value and get rid of the wait function (ms)).  Keep the amount and the number of items in the shift registers.  Wire these values through each case of the event.  In the event of changing the value: control, just set the values to 0.  Then add a Stop button value change event to stop your program.

  

  

• While loop with reading of text file - calendar of events in a given period

  Hello world.

  I created a program that if serial interface via a port to a syringe push in my lab. Currently, the program reads in a text file-flow rate values and sends them to the pump, one by one, through various commands. I need to ensure that whenever a new flow rate value is sent to the pump, it does in a specific/hard time for a while. I.e. every 0.1 seconds, changes in flow rate and must are active until the next period. I tried to use a timed loop and I think I've succeeded, but it hogs system resources, so I was wondering if there was a way to do it using the number of cycles or something of this nature. I just started using LabView, so I'm slowly getting the hang of it (easy when you watch my VI!)

  See attached VI. I took orders from serial port and have instead orders display in an indicator. The nested and densely populated while loop contains the commands that need to be completed/last during the period (like 0.1 second).

  Thank you for your time and help!

  Hi, you should read some introductory material on LabVIEW to down the idea of the stream.

  Basically, the data flow in the wires from left to right, and any node will not work until it has reached all of his contributions.

  The thread of the error is the best way to run data streams.

  ***

  In your VI I use data wires, their execution through structures, and forcing the structures to run in the sequence.  Using a structure of sequence you mentioned in your next post will force the two scripts to execute in the order of (the only one we discussed to be in race condition.)

  Similarly, for brevity, I would wrap the EMO and she is business structure in a single sequence and force it to run last using stream.  In this way the user has the most possible time to decide to hit the EMO before she is called by the application.  As it is now, it most likely is interviewed at the beginning of the loop, so if it's the exchange value you won't see results until the next loop.

  When running in execution of highlight you see the order of data flow, but that is not guaranteed to be the same for a normal performance, where the use of the data stream.

  ***

  The counter tick account ms up to a very large number and then "says" reset and start counting again.  I know you want to START the loop as close to every 10 ms.  Yes, using data flow, take the number of cycles first, perform actions, then return the number of cycles.   The second time of the tick read that you are in a nested loop that does not stop until you get 10 or more difference on the number of cycles.

  And, on the off chance that you must achieve "return" on the tick counter comes stops the nested loop then move.  (if the second measurement is less than the first, then the tick counter handed.  If you miss this situation while you'd have to wait a long time for the condition of the difference > 10 in the reunion, basically locked in the loop.

  ***

  You could put the EMO sequence, we have seen, in line with data streams.  Before or after the second control of ticks will not make much difference in terms of 10ms.  I would put it after checking the tick, again give the user more time to hit the EMO if necessary.

  ***

  I put in a queue for the stream error and removed the other stuff.

• Creating tables in a nested for loop

  Hi all.

  I was stuck in this problem for quite a while now and I still don't know how to continue. Some outside the entrance would be greatly appreciated!

  I'm doing the following:

  -Take an array of numbers, to check if they are within a certain range (e.g. between 2 and 4)

  -Build two new arrays: one with all the numbers that are inside the beach and the other with the rest.

  An additional condition is that the amount and value of the range conditions will change (for example, it could be between 2 and 4 only / 2, 4 AND 6 and 7 according to the entry)

  To treat this, I created two nested for loops - one that goes on a table that contains conditions of the beach and inside that actually go and check if the values are in the range. I think I did that part successfully, but the next part is confusing to me - how to actually create the tables separated within two loops for?

  My apologies if I did not explain it well. Another method to support this problem is I want to translate following LabVIEW:

  Ranges of table / / [1 5 7 10] exodus-> This means we want to divide numbers based on those who are in (1,2) and (4.5) against those who are not

  Table of values / / [2 3 6 11 3]

  EndOperationDelegate table / / array of values within the range
  Table outValues / / Array of values out of range

  for m = 1:size (ranges)

  for n = 1:size (values)
  If (THE NUMBER IS on the INSIDE of EACH RANGE)
  EndOperationDelegate = [EndOperationDelegate NEWNUMBER]
  on the other
  outValues = [outValues NEWNUMBER]
  end

  end
  end

  Sounds easy enough, but it gets so chaotic with Labview that I don't know what to do. I have attached a reference image - insertion in the array function is not in fact add to the table, it creates a new table. How can I save that for when the nested for the ends of the loop?

  I have seen a few examples with shift registers which lie in a loop and I couldn't successfully that transfers in my block diagram.

  Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello!

  See the following example to understand how you can create a table in the loop For

  

  In your case, you also can uce conditional terminal to create a table only when then located nearby. It makes the code much cleaner that the structures of the case

  Hope this helps, if not, let me know if I can help you!

• How to increase code efficiency in a while loop (using PXI5105 for sampling outside signal digitalizer)

  Theoretically, we want the PXI-5105 (digitizer) have 302 record with each record has a 1260 sample (the save operation is inside a while loop) in approximately 30ms, however we have found that for each period (30ms), the PXI5105 only perform about 10 records. It is so wired. I wonder if the operations inside the while loop consume more time (for example 3MS), so that he cannot have 302 records even the PXI-5105 have 60 M/s speed of sampling. Is it true, you can find my labview code and if possible can you give me some suggestion in the most short time of operation of the loop.

  

  Please find attached labview code.

  Hi g_l_g_s,

  The digitizer PXI-5105 acquires data at the speed that you specify and stores the data in its memory embedded (up to 512 MB). The data is then sent to your computer when the Multi Fetch Cluster.vi is called. In VI that you posted, you are only fetch record during each while the loop iteration. If you want to retrieve 302 records you will need to specify 302 files in the horizontal Timing.vi to configure. For more information about scanners, you might find the DevZone, hereuseful.

  To determine the amount of time it takes for each while the loop iteration, you can consider using the structure of code in the example comparison community calendar, which is located here.

• structure of the event + while loop

  Hello, I am trying to understand how to unite two while loops in attached VI for half a day

  The first loop creates a state machine solid which reacts on each key and runs one of the structure cases. (that part works very well)

  The second loop, always generates the random number, but it stops the generation during the time where one of the structure cases events are executed. (this is the part ticky)

  Any suggestions?

  If you want your random number to stop so that the user triggered events are running, you should be able to simplify your design a lot.

  It can be done with a loop using the case of timeout.

• Retaining the last value without a while loop

  Hello

  I'm using LabVIEW 2013. My VI is attached. I'll send in a 'Curr. Random random numbers TestPlan Row"time. I'm eager to keep his last number, whenever this VI is not called and then reset the value to its new value whenever the VI is called again and a new number has been sent. Also attached is a screenshot at the VI.

  Please note that I can't use a WHILE loop, so it must keep its value in a different way...

  Thanks in advance for any help!

• convert loop timed to normal while loop

  How convert a while loop time normal while loop with exact same properties and performance?

  I have donot need to worry about the exact date. But it takes the timed loop time will be run similar to loop.

  And also, is there any issue encountered when we use Timed loop? problems such as that crashing exe?

  Hello

  1 kHz is the used base clock. Then, you decide to use 10 as period (dt) which is 10 ms.

  The clock is selectable in real-time systems, you can use the 1 MHz clock, giving resolution µs

  But for your needs, using 1 kHz clock with dt = 10 and using a ms of waiting with 10 connected to it is exactly the same.

• Functions don't run when a loop running in a while loop

  Hi all

  I have a loop within a while loop. All main functions are running in this while loop. However, once the for loop executes other functions in the while loop don't work anymore until the loop for stop execution. Could someone help me with this problem? Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Nicky

  Hi Nicky,

  Ah, well I don't have much suggestions but maybe you can try with a conditional for the loop. I've attached an example. You can go through it. I don't know if it's a good idea to use this way, but again, if this can help, so I'm glad that.

  To create a condtional for loop, place a normal for loop on the block diagram, right-click and select terminal condtional.

• CPU utilization while loop

  Manual LabVIEW declare a while loop must always contain a "wait for ms" vi to unlock the task for this period.

  However, I thought that it the same fate if I use the same timeout ms for the timeout of a structure event inside the while loop

  and omit the "wait for ms" vi.

  Unfortunately the time-out of the structure of the event does not seem to unlock the task so that the façade reacts very inert in this case, even if it reacts
  prompt in either case.

  Does anyone have an explanation more in depth of this behavior?

  
  

• What is READ the array returned by the DAQmx meter? How can I know the two functions DAQmx READ data stream in the same WHILE loop?

  I have a question about the order of execution.  In the WHILE loop, I have two things to measure, period and tension using the DAQmx READ functions for voltage and the meter.  In the end, I want to collect these data as points almost simultaneously as possible, as a pair and then send them together to another piece of code (not shown here) which them will result in some sort of command for an engine.  It would be run, and then I want to perceive the tension and the period at a time later and do the same thing.

  (1.) I'm a little confused on what the meter of the READ function is back because it's a table.  What is a picture of?  I thought that it was up to the value of the individual periods between rising edges.  The output of the counter 1 DBL d's a table. How many elements in this table, and what determines the size of this table?  Are the elements of the array the individual delays between the edges?  How many values are stored in the array by executing?   We take the AVERAGE of the last 15 items, but do not know if we are throwing some of the data or what.  How to understand the composition of this painting?  How can I change the composition of this painting?  Is it possible to measure only one period at a time, for example the time between TWO edges?

  2.) Will this WHILE loop execute as it gathers tension and a "period table ' (remains to be understood by me) by TIME running in a loop?  In particular, we want that the value of the tension associated with the value of the AVERAGE of the period "array", so we can use two data items to create orders of next control every time that the two values are reported.  The structure for the delivery of vi will be attached data in pairs like this?  I understand that one of the READING functions run not before the other function of READING in the WHILE loop.  I want that the period "means" and "strain (Volt) collected at the same pace. This vi will he?

  Thank you

  Hi David,

  I suggest including the DAQmx Start Task function. If it does not start before the loop, it starts the loop and work very well, but it is not as fast and efficient. In the model of task status, task wiill go to run the checked each iteration of the loop and then back the time checked running when it restarts.

  The status of the task model: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370466V-01/mxcncpts/taskstatemodel/

• A result of sending the data to a while loop through another loop of TCP communication

  Hi all

  I have 2 screws

  1 matching model (using the method of Grab) which is put inside a while loop. This VI works correctly and returns a string in a specific format (position and the angle of the object).

  2 TCP server who always listens to a specific port, if it receives a correct command string, it sends the string above VI - 1 (position and angle).

  The two 2 screws works if they are in separate VI. But I want to combine them into 1 single VI and I get the problem: Pattern matching doesn't work anymore (the video has only first frame then stops).

  I tried to put the two while loop in parallel or put the TCP while loop inside while loop Pattern Matching. Nothing has worked.

  Pls see my attached VI and the TCP module.

  What is the solution for requirement?

  Thank you all!

  What I would do, is be your two screws at the same time.  Given that you do not send the last result, store the result in a global variable.  Your comparison models written VI the global variable of the results of each iteration of the loop and the TCP bed module global variable results when it receives the right to order and then send it.
