What is a lens?

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.

This content is ...

Additional Exercises for Strings and FileI/O

Module by: National Instruments. E-mail the author

Exercise 1

Build a VI that generates a 2D array of 3⁢rows×100⁢columns 3 rows 100 columns of random numbers and writes the data transposed to a spreadsheet file. Add a header to each column. Use the high-level File I/O VIs located on the File I/O palette.

Tip:

Use the Write Characters To File VI to write the header and the Write To Spreadsheet File VI to write the numeric data to the same file.

Save the VI as More Spreadsheets.vi in the C:\Exercises\LabVIEW Basics I directory.

Exercise 2

Build a VI that converts tab-delimited spreadsheet strings to comma-delimited spreadsheet strings, that is, spreadsheet strings with columns separated by commas and rows separated by end of line characters. Display both the tab-delimited and comma-delimited spreadsheet strings on the front panel.

Tip:

Use the Search and Replace String function.

Save the VI as Spreadsheet Converter.vi in the C:\Exercises\LabVIEW Basics I directory.

Exercise 3

Modify the Temperature Logger VI so the VI does not create a new file each time you run the VI. Append the data to the end of the existing temp.dat file that the Temperature Logger VI created. Run the VI several times and use a word processor application to confirm that the VI appended new temperature readings.

Tip:

Delete the Format Into File function and replace it with the Format Into String and Write File functions. Use the pos mode and pos offset parameters of the Write File function to move the current file mark.

Select File>>Save As to save the VI as Temperature Logger 2.vi in the C:\Exercises\LabVIEW Basics I directory.

'My Favorites' is a special kind of lens which you can use to bookmark modules and collections. 'My Favorites' can only be seen by you, and collections saved in 'My Favorites' can remember the last module you were on. You need an account to use 'My Favorites'.
