How to import a Waveform Graph into a diadem report

[Philipp Spiegel]

Hi,

i want to import a waveform graph into a user defined diadem report template. Unfortunately it doesnt work with the conversion to dynamic data, because my interval is not equal to one.

If I unbundle the cluster of my waveform chart and just take the array with the values of my graph, i receive the wrong scale of the x-Axis, because diadem scales the x-Axis with an intervall one 1.

Is there a possiblity to import waveform graphs directly into diadem without a dynamic data conversion?

Thankx for an answer!

Hi,
I am not sure if I understand youre question correctly. Seems like you are working with LabVIEW and trying to save data to a TDM / TDMS file. Or you are using the DIAdem report express VI or you are working with the LabVIEW DIAdem toolkit.

Anyhow, I just created an example which might be useful fou you as well. If it does not help you answering your question, please give some more details about what your setup.

Thanks for your answer so far.

I'm working with Labview and there I have a waveform graph which has an intervall of 0.79 between the single elements. I want to import this graph with the Diadem Report Express VI to Diadem, but when I convert the graph to DDT, the interval is 1.

Ok, I guess I know what is causing the issue.
Doubleclick on the "convert to dynamic data" vi and make sure you chose single waveform in the conversion type. you might have configured the vi to convert an array of scalars to the dynamic signal type. This would drop the timestamp information and the curve will be plottet against an index (delta 1)

The DIAdem Report Express VI can handle this use case. In the configuration dialog, double-click the "Value (double-click to edit)" column for your XY Graph. You will then see a dialog that allows for the following options:

• Treat every signal as a waveform
• Use the values from the first signal as x, all other signals as y
• Use signals as x-y pairs

The two latter options will ignore the dT values on all signals. Feel free to have a look at .\examples\reports\DIAdem\DIAdem Report Express VI.llb\X Axis Scaling.vi. It demonstrates all 3 options.

Hope that helps,
Herbert
