VI that exports DIAdem format data

[stephen s]

I am trying to write a VI that will export data from my DSC database between two given timestamps.

I have looked through some of the tutorials, but have not yet found a good description of the LABView-DIAdem interface. Where can I find a good example/tutorial of subroutines that LABView can call to export DIAdem datafiles?

I want to run this vi after an experiment to automatically dump out the interesting data to be ready to be processed in DIAdem. I have such a vi that exports a simple csv/spreadsheet file that works fine, but not for DIAdem data files.

LABView 7.0 + DSC
DIAdem 8.10

Thank you,
Stephen

You can download the LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs Version 2.2 for Windows 2000/98/ME/NT/XP. On http://www.ni.com/examples you can find several examples that utilize these vis.
I hope this helps

The connectivity kit doesn't seem to have what I am looking for (i.e. a vi that exports data over a specified timerange from ~ 100 tags in my DSC database to a DIAdem format file).

Many of the examples are for externally run commands (VBScript) or calls from DIAdem. I want the vi to be called by LabVIEW, as it is LabVIEW that determines the timestamps, filenames, and when to run the vi.

Values in my database are strings, DBL, integer, and binary values, so simply exporting a 2D array to a file is not so simple.


I must be missing something, as this shouldn't be too difficult. In "Measurement and Automation Explorer" there is a button that says "Export to DIAdem...". I want a vi that does more or less the same as this button, but the parameters
are passed in by LabVIEW.
