Read/write in a variable using its refnum

Hello

I and VI and a Subvi. In VI, I have a Boolean variable a reference to this Boolean variable. The Subvi have entrance to this reference (see examples). Now, that's my question, in the Subvi can read and write the Boolean value of the variable in the VI. Can I do? How?

Thank you.

Hi kiftren,

Just as you used the reference on the node 'Register for events', you can wire the reference to a node property/invoke (you can find these on the paddle 'Application Control'). Select the value property. With your current settings, the "value" property will return a Variant. This is because the "mechanical action" setting on your boolean in primary VI. Change the mechanical action to "Switch when released. The 'value' property now accepts returns/true and false.

  • Can we read/write client side files using UTL_FILE?

    Hi friends,

    We have no use in Oracle PL/SQL for file operations (create, read, write, add) on the client side? I have my server DB under GNU / LINUX, but I run my queries through a Windows machine and I want to precess files on my machine (client side) of Windows. Can achieve us through UTL_FILE?

    UTL_FILE isn't for treatment side server only.

    You could write files to a network share of UTL_FILE, but that's all.

  • Object LVOOP read/write using the API TestStand

    Is it possible to read/write a LVOOP object to a variable TestStand from LabVIEW using the API of TestStand?

    SetPropertyObject() takes a green wire reference, which is incompatible with an LVOOP object.  SetValVariant(), SetValIDispatch(), and SetValInterface() seems to just write a value null of type variant.  I don't know if I use the wrong API function or if it's just not possible.

    Hi jsiegel,

    That's right, it is not quite possible to what I believe, it is your intention. As mentioned, TestStand cannot create the object of LabVIEW. To make and use references of LabVIEW with TestStand, you need LabVIEW out this reference, which may then store it TestStand as an object reference. For VI requiring the obeject LabVIEW as an input, the registered object reference can be passed in. To make calls to LabVIEW classes using the class member call with a step of the VI Action instead of the call to VI for the Type.

    Of course, you need both LabVIEW and TestStand 2012 or newer in order to use these functions.

  • Effective use of the FPGA read/write

    I am writing an application for a CompactRIO real-time and I am looking for ways to simplify my code and reduce the CPU usage. I use FPGA to do much CAN e-mail and signal processing, then I have a VI running on the real-time processor that reads values in the FPGA, does some processing and outputs data in the FPGA. My code running on real-time parallel uses several loops running in a master/slave architecture. A single loop reads all necessary information in the FPGA in indicators and writes the values of the controls in the FPGA. The other loops read entries and manipulate the outputs via local variables.

    My question if it would be more effective to get rid of the loop which is dedicated to the communication of FPGA and has of each loop to read and write directly on the FPGA. If I use a reference block FPGA open and use the reference of the output in several loops, each read/write operation block others until it's over? Each output is changed only in one place in the code, but there are several entries that are used by multiple loops. It is even more effective for each loop of read/write for the FPGA on request? How will this affect determinism?

    Thank you

    Jon

    Jon,

    Read/write controls is not deterministic, but I think that your previous method should work just fine, as long as you have that unique writers. If you have multiple writers, you start affected by race conditions.

    I don't think you will see a significant improvement in the performance/CPU in the alternative method. You would see big performance gains if your master loop reads more slowly indeed, but it's always a compromise.

  • Difficulty using the binary read/write

    Hello

    The binary read/write function somehow not working properly in my application.

    I have one store a 2D strign binary array. When the user closes the application, the application stores the values in table in the Bin file.

    N when the application starts, it reads the file and displays its contents on the table.

    The system works well if the total size of the content is 3 bytes. But if the size of the content is greater than 3 bytes, the program simply returns a NULL value at first when I read the Bin file.

    How to save:

    Convert 2D in String table using "Flatten the string" fn and to save in a binary file.

    Procedure to read:

    read a binary file. convert the output string table 2D using 'string Unflatten ".

    I enclose my code here. PLS, have a look at it and let me know the cause of the problem.

    Ritesh

    I don't understand why you're flattening of a string, a 2D channels table. It's redundant. You seem to be also the substitution of the default big-endian to little endian byte order. You try to save it in a format suitable for other programs on other platforms?

    If this is not the case, all you have to do is:

  • How to add more variables to a read/write control?

    See how the read/write control is connected to global variables? I want to add more variables, I created the globals (some are listed in the table above), but as you can see that they are not available in the read/write control. How can I add them? I also tried to create a new read/write control, but as you can see that didn't help.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi count3r5tr1ke,

    It seems that you are referencing a particular bitfile in open FPGA reference. I think that even when you save your FPGA VI, VI real time still referencing an older bitfile. Have you tried re - compile and referring to the new bitfile once finished compiling? A sure way to make sure that you have the most up-to-date bitfile is to check the VI option when you right-click on the FPGA Open reference and select Configure the reference open FPGA. When this option is checked, if you make changes to the FPGA code, it will force you to re - compile the FPGA VI before you reference it on the real-time side.

  • write a graph in a cluster using a refnum does not?

  • In the target FPGA read/write control function?

    Hi people,

    I learn a lot from the sample project FPGA, including how you can easily retrieve and set controls and indicators in an FPGA using the read/write control function running in an RT target.

    However, I can't find a way to do something similar in a FPGA target.  I've been down this road before - that is, trying to move the data in/out a looping VI FPGA (void) to a (parent) FPGA VI - where my memory points to reach what I needed use.

    So I was happy to see the palette FPGA enabled me to drop the control functions to read/write on a FPGA vi target.  But alas there where tons of errors (not compatible son for target, etc.) and I guess now it's not possible.

    So, just to be sure, I'm not missing something, is there something like control functions to read/write to use in an FPGA for read/write in an another FPGA (looped)?

    In addition, why would I be able to read/write on a FPGA vi control functions if they are not supported?  (Sorry for the n00b question)

    Thank you

    Steve

    I don't know what you're trying to prove here. There is no control of refnum in search in your image. Occurrences are available in FPGA, and for control of refnum for one you just right click on a function of the instance and create a control. If you can create a valid thread of a certain type of data, then you can create a control or the indicator for it, regardless of the question to know if this type of control or indicator appears in the palettes. However, the functions that you can use in the block diagram are limited by what is available in the palettes.

    Regarding orders read/write for the FPGA/lights, I'm surprised that the infrastructure developed to allow read/write between RT and FPGA has not mobilized to allow read/write between FPGA and FPGA.  The elements of memory function, but they are less convenient.

    You may have noticed that you cannot compile the individual parts of an FPGA VI and combine them later; This is because when you compile an FPGA VI, all its subVIs are essentially merged to create a single block diagram (with additional logic if one not reentrant Subvi is used in multiple locations, this is why it is not recommended on FPGA). The subVIs no longer exist in the FPGA compiled; reading and writing a control on them would make no sense. If you want similar behavior, use global variables - but understand that global variables store values in FPGA logic resources. Using the elements of memory (or FIFO, which can also store in memory) leaves more fabric available FPGA logic by storing data in resources specially designed for this purpose.

  • FPGA read/write does not not in cRIO-9073

    Hello.

    I'm stuck with a problem in the use of the FPGA Read/Write control please suggest a solution.

    I use cRIO 9073 and I'm trying to place an order ON / OFF of GUI-> RT-> FPGA host. I use a shared variable of the network to transmit the control GUI form to host RT and I use read/write control to FPGA. I also put a Boolean flag in the FPGA VI to control if the control is transferred to the FPGA.

    When I toggle the button in the GUI, I see the same change in the host of RT (shown as 16 probe in attachment 1). However the FPGA indicator (indicated as probe 19) remains the default false state. The FPGA VI is on attachment 2.

    Thank you

    Guilhem

    Your FPGA only reads the control once before entering the loop.  If you want to read control permanently, you must put it inside the loop.

  • under condition of read/write terminals on the side of the connector (basic training 3)

    Hello

    During my practice towards the review of the CLD, I examine the Core 3 online training material too. I just read a few tips of 'best practices' on the forum, for example this post:

    http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/Community-Nugget-wired-terminals-in-subdiagrams-clearing-up-the/m-p/...

    It should be noted, that we should not use terminals (which are on the connector pane) to the inside of while loop or condition of the structure. Neither control, nor indicators (read/write terminals): "terminals conditionally read or written on the side of the connector are BAD!"

    I can find many examples in the online training materials, when the indicators and controls are placed inside while loop and the case of structures in a Subvi.

    I guess I should not do this during my review of the CLD, as they will run benchmark on my project? Should not be the core training materials updated some time? Or it's just not too important to have terminals on the outside? I would lose points during the CLD Exam my project as in the Core 3 screws?

    example 1: Core 3, exercise 4-6 design of an error-handling strategy:

    EDIT:

    What's even more ugly in this project, is that, in the case of 'Get empty Cue', the Cue output indicator is updated via a local variable, because the indicator is not accessible via 'outside ': wire

    Nice catch on the training material.  that the application would take an if subject to a review of the CLD test graders.

    As noted in the nugget: sentencing of perfomance for conditionally reached terminals is a function of the size of the data.  So, it is sometimes acceptable for simple data.  The larger point being to learn about compromise and make the right choice for your code.

    Preping for the CLD on other means of hand knowing that VI Analyzer will run on your project.  Like any other code review you walk in - know the guidelines for the review and code to ' review ' as well as 'reply spec.'

    I've not seen an instance where an example of shipping (2013 and later versions) would fail this test VIA (there are a few screws deep inside the vi.lib which can date back to before the adoption of this recommendation from style)

  • Synchronization with Serial read/write problems. can not get the functionality of the terminal emulator

    Hello

    I am writing a VI to control PWM with a microcontroller via a serial port. I wrote a simple code for the microcontroller that allows me to set the ratio of duty cycle on a scale of 0-65535. It works very well with Termite of Compuphase (RS-232 plug); The microcontroller invited me to an entry, expected that I would one, updates and expected another entry when I decided to send him. Now, I'm trying to get the same functionality on a LabVIEW vi but hit a snag.

    When I tried to send my orders with a series read base and an example of writing, everything worked fine. I could see the prompt entry, write an entry and if I was quick enough, check out the update message. Even when I was not fast enough, I was able to check the update by monitoring the PWM pin with a Logic Analyzer. The problem with the basic example, however, is that I need to update the report to aura cyclical ratio, so I went for an example of reading continues writing. The problem I've met; is that I have to switch between reading and writing to make it work. When I do that, either I don't hold write it down long enough and nothing happens, or I get several updates when I switch to reading. Some of these updates don't even match and produce updates to defective upgrades for example; 16000 16000, 16000, 16000, 6000, 600, 60, 16000, 1600, 60, 0, 0, 0, 16000, 60, 0, 0 etc.

    I tried which allows characters of endpoint in the hope that the writing would end at the end and go to reading where he would receive a termination character and wait for me allow writing once again, but nothing helped. I still have to alternate between the two and either get no response on reading several updates of variable accuracy. I tried to remove her allows read/write and their structures of matter in the hope that the loop flow, associated with the characters of endpoint would the case, but then the updates don't register at all. The funny thing is I did a VI like this before with an Arduino and that there not even no need to switch between writing and reading (I'm now using a Board of Freescale FRDM).

    I was also the frequency of timeout errors; Error-1073807339 at VISA Read, reason Possible: VISA Hex 0xBFFF0015. I removed the option to stop the while loop if there is an error so I can run but always pops up an error on the judgment occasionally. Could the problem of synchronization always cause me problems?

    Would appreciate all advice really, I am providing my slightly modified example screws and can provide the code for microcontroller on request, even if it's very simple.

    Thanks in advance, it is
    Yusif Nurizade

    In other words, frankly, a good bad example you according to your code. Also, you have the order of writing and read upside down in your amendment if the instrument requires a command to return something. It should really be using a structure of the event. The structure of the event around a write and read and use a value change event. I have attached a quick change. This mod is still a reading after writing. If necessary, you may have two separate events to write and read.

  • Read/write function reads a bad value?

    HY,

    I'm using on my FPGA OR Quadrature encoder.

    (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/6608/en/)

    I add a few entries, so that its possible to set an offset value.

    In all the VI on the FPGA, works very well with my encoder.

    If I start the VI on my FPGA, the position value is 0, because of the "first round"? Element.

    Now, I used the command of read/write in a while loop on my host VI to get the current value of the encoder.

    After I start my host vi the defiler position always shows the value "2".

    If I use the highlight function, the value remains at '0 '.

    This is a really strange behavior, I don't know what can be the cause of this problem.

    All positionsoffset values are 0 and encoders on my 9401 module entries are tied to the land.

    The position value is only written on the fpga, nowhere else.

    Anyone have any idea why?

    Thank you very much.


  • Possible timeout in VISA read/write in While loop

    As the title says, I have a while loop that is constantly written followed by reading using VISA read/write.  I'm waiting for buffer correspond to a certain one, which the true value would end the loop.  In this loop, I have an indicator showing how many times he runs. All of this is repeated in another while loop.

    My problem comes the counter arrives at 10, then stops at the "write" command.  Do not know why.  I tried to increase the time-out of the instruments, but nothing has changed.  I added a delay of 10ms in loop, which also has not changed anything.

    For reference, I use a tektronix scope series 3000 of the MDGS and checking its state of relaxation.

    You said chill to read earlier!

    But it is not supposed to have to write it either.  Experimentally, access all VISA nodes, right-click and choose the Mode of synchronous i/o.  Make it synchronous instead of asynchronous.  The watch symbol will disappear from the top right corner.  See if that changes anything.

    What kind of serial port are you using?  What is an integrated in the PC?  A USB to serial port adapter?  Makes the chips on that, Prolific and FTDI?  You can try with a different serial port or a brand of adapter?  A lot of people have had problems with prolific chips.  And I have also heard of people having problems using adapters who had fake chips in them.
