Writing data to the file when the trigger is activated?

Hi all

I'm quite new in lab mode, and I find it difficult to find a solution to this problem quite simple. I installed a gauge on a tank, and each time, he reached the limit of overflow of the VI should write all data to a file. I implemented my data tables, but I am struggling to find a way to have the VI writing the data when the specific trigger (the tank overflow) occurs. I'm sure the solution is quite simple, but was faced with this during a few days now so I decided to ask for help.

See you soon,.

Seems to work, but the program stops when the trigger activates and asks you a file name to write on and then reset the whole process. Is that anyway so he can write the data automatically, without any interruptions?

Yes, simply son by the name of desired file in VI of file write. If a cable it won't entice.

  • Writing data to the file trigger

    Hello

    I'm new to Labview and I'm having difficulty trying to make this work correctly.

    What I do is followed the release of a transducer and when it reaches a certain critical value I want to write data to a file.

    I have this part works fine, but I'm currently using a higher vi / equal to check the value against the flow of the instrument, so when the value is less than the critical it to stop recording.  I want to continue to save for a number of minutes after reaching the critical value.

    How can I do this?

    Look at using the Express VI of elapsed time.  So when the condition is met, it triggers the VI and it will keep logging data until the Express VI shows the elapsed time.

  • storage, reading and writing data to the file

    Hello world

    I am new to the Labview and his community.  Asked me to acquire data on the measurement of the pressure using Labview.  I could build the code and got it working, but when I look at my data that has been collected, there no stopping point.  I just spent a lot of time looking at the data in the place where it begins and where it ends.  The question I ask is how to create a code to read the pressure, storage, in memory until there finishes, collect data and then to write in a .csv file.

    I use the NI USB-6009 case and hook upwards to ai0 and ai4.  See the attached code so uncertain.

    I want to record 100 data points and the system stops after these collection.

    Thank you

    You have a certain time which means your VI will continue to run until you press your button to stop the loop.

    The DAQ Assistant is already set to 100 samples.

    Just delete the while loop!

  • Writing data in the CSV file?

    I tried, but in vain, to write data in the CSV file, with the column headers of the file labeled appropriately to each channel as we do in LabView (see attached CSV).  I know that developers should do this same in .net.  Can anyone provide a snippet of code to help me get started?  In addition, maybe there is a completely different way to do the same thing instead of writing directly to the CSV file?  (In fact, I really need to fill a table with data and who join the CSV every seconds of couple).  I have the tables already coded for each channel, but I'm still stuck on how to get it in the CSV file.  I'm coding in VB.net using Visual Studio 2012, Measurement Studio 2013 Standard.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Yuna:

    Do you get any error messages?

    How is the second function called?  Are you sure it is called?  You can set a breakpoint on one of its lines of code to make sure.

    You must post more code to get the bigger picture.

    Is the overall or is path - this local to your hand?

    If pathname is local, how it is passed to the second function?

    You close the file in your second function?

    I'm guessing that it's just a typo, but the fprintf in the second function shows a period after that IDF and there should be a comma.  You are better to paste the code in your message instead of having to retype.

  • Writing data in the text file or excel spreadsheet

    Hello

    I have a silly question to ask questions about the writing of data in a text file or a spreadsheet. I have an example that simulates a sine-swept DAQmx. The output it provides is the (amplitude and phase) frequency response function that is plotted on a graph (see VI) attached. I like to use these data for further analysis by transmitting the data to a text file or a spreadsheet. I've tried a few things, but the thread is broken. I guess I use the sink badly - so I was wondering, can you please advise me on what sink should I use?

    Your help would be very appreciated,

    Thank you very much

    The wire is broken, because you cannot connect this type of data to one of these two functions. The data source type is a table 1 d of the clusters, where each cluster contains two tables. The text file write accepts strings, not clusters. Writing on a file action accepts dynamic data, and while you can convert dynamic data tables, there is no built-in mechanism to convert a table 1 d of the clusters of two matrices.

    What you need to do is to convert the data in a format which can be accepted by these functions. Since you want to have a "spreadsheet" file then you should use writing to the spreadsheet file that creates a delimited text file. Since the frequency data would be the same for the plot of the magnitude and phase diagrams, you can have 3 columns: frequency, amplitude, and phase. You can take off the items using Unbundle by name, and then create a table 2D of each element of the cluster. The real question is to know if you want to save the data at each iteration and if you simply add on the file. The attached figure shows write an initial header and then adding just streaming the data.

  • writing data to the file of measure

    Hi all

    I'm trying record rpm with an encoder in quadrature (200 ppm) in a LVM file with a timestamp of each saved value. It seems to work, except that it registers more values in the file LVM I want. I put the DAQ Assistant to save read 1 sample at a frequency of 1 Hz. However, when I open the file LVM generated by writing custom file Express VI, sometimes I get 42 values per second, sometimes I get 13 and so on. If I don't get a constant number of measurements per second. How can I specify just measure of folder 1 per second, or 5 measures and so on?

    I'm using LabVIEW 2011. The encoder values be read as a frequency and then converted in rpm. Thank you! Files and images attached.

    Your Express VI is not configured to play at 1 Hz. The synchronization method is the default value, which is used for the reading of the frequency as you do. This basically means you're sampling on the rising edge of the input signal, then you're really sampling rate at the same rate as your frequency.

    To do what you want, you can change to mode 1 sample (on request) and add a 1000ms waiting your loop.

    In the 2D case of amplitude, frequency and phase table, you should unbudle the cluster by its name and integrate these elements build table functions. For your reference, I did sort of thing in your code. You can see the attachment.

  • To access the data of the trigger list item

    Hello

    I started developing on the Blackberry this fall. I like a lot more on Android and Java development, but am really interested in getting on learning stunts and QNX architecture.

    I wanted to take the child node in the following XML file (from the Documentation):

    
        

    Here is my list:

    ListView {
                    dataModel: XmlDataModel {
                        source: "data.xml"
                    }
                    onTriggered: {
    
                        if (indexPath.length > 1) {
                            var chosenItem = dataModel.data(indexPath);
                            var contentpage = itemPageDefinition.createObject();
    
                            contentpage.itemPageTitle = chosenItem.name
                            contentpage.phoneNumber = chosenItem.phone.number
                            nav.push(contentpage);
                        }
                    }
                    accessibility.name: "Listing"
                }
    

    I put phoneNumber as an Alias in the QML file that the application is intended to be sent.

    the chosenItem variable is a variable of XmlDataModel made from a contact form we have clicked on that, but I have no idea how the child of this body of the access code. I should do data() once again, or is there a much more direct way from words to action?

    Thank you in advance for the help,

    Sorry, the answer I gave was not for a XmlDataModel, between the XML and by default displays only the first two levels.  Other levels is available via the datamodel, but not returned as the selected item.

    To get to a different level to get the phone number you may enter a value of something like this:

    //First phone number
    dataModel.data([0,0,0]).number
    
    //Second phone number
    dataModel.data([1,0,0]).number
    

    The row you get will look like [0,0] or [1.0] because it is not crossed to the third level.  You will need to do a little analysis, take the first value of the row and the replacement of the first value that I've hardcoded above.

    Have a look at the diagram on the page of response to selection .  Which will help you understand what is happening behind the scenes here.

  • faced with the question when writing data to a flat file with UTL_FILE.

    Hi gurus,

    We have a procedure that writes the data from the table to a flat file. RAC is implemented on this database.

  • Try to write data to the file, but error 200279

    I have problems when writing data to a file. 10 seconds in the recording process, I get the error 200279. I did some research on the subject, but I am unable to corect my code. I think I want to increase the size of the buffer, but he prefers, I suppose, to read the data more frequently. The way that I save my file is, before starting the VI, I attribute a location and name of the file (e.g. data.csv). The date and time is added at the end of the actual when file the I start to record the data (e.g. data_07-26 - 13_122615.csv). If the file does not exist, it creates a new file, and then adds the data of this file after each iteration of the loop. The reason why I did this way was so I don't have to worry about running out of memory, but apparently my code is wrong.

    I will include a copy of the faulty section of my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Your problem is that the writing on the disk is slow.  It is pretty slow so it causes your DAQ buffer overflow and cause error and loss of data.  What you need to do is to implement a producer/consumer.  This will put the data acquisition and recording on the disc in separate loops.  This will allow data acquisition work at speed, that he needs to deal with incoming samples and writing on disk can run at all what pace, he can.  You send data from data acquisition to the loop of logging using a queue.

    You can also think about changing how you write to the file.  VI is constantly open and close the file, which is a very slow process if you do it inside a loop.

  • How can I write snapshot of my data to the file measured every 5 seconds

    Hello

    I try to take a snapshot of my stream once every 5 seconds and write it to a. File LVM. I have problems with the VI "write to a measurement file. The pace at which it writes data to the file seems to be dictated by the 'Samples to Read' parameter in the DAQ assistant. I tried placing the VI 'Write in a file measure' within a business structure and the launch of the structure to deal with a "time up" VI. As a result only in a delay of 5 seconds before the insiders 'Write in a file as' VI. Once the VI 'Write in a file as' is launched, it starts writing at 20 x per second. Is there a way to change it or dictate how fast the exicutes VI 'Write in a file measure'?

    My reason for slowing down the write speed are, 1) reduce space occupied by my data file. (2) reduce the cycles of CPU use and disk access.

    The reason why I can't increase the value of 'Samples to Read' in the DAQ Assistant (to match my requirement to write data), it's that my VI will start to Miss events and triggers.

    I don't know I can't be the only person who needs high-frequency data acquisition and low-frequency writing data on the disk? However, I see a straight road to key in before that.

    The equipment I use is a NI USB DAQ 6008, data acquisition analog voltage to 100 Hz.

    Thanks in advance for your help
