As LabView is a development system we cannot tell if your specific file format can be imported into FlexPro by using for instance the binary import. To our knowledge there is no general LabView data file format. If you are designing the data format that is written by the LabView application yourself, please take a look at the binary import dialog to get a feeling how a supported file format should look. By using the standard binary import it is not possible to transfer data to the parameter fields of the resulting data objects.
The preferrable method to transfer data from LabView based applications to FlexPro is to use the FPAccess interface of FlexPro. Together with FlexPro comes a LabView interface VI and a extensive sample VI which gives an overview on how to use this interface. The sample files will be installed automatically on systems where LabView 6.x/7.x is installed. It is possible to install them manually by executing a custom setup.
Doing the data transfer using FPAccess you:
- do not need files anymore. The data is transferred into a FlexPro database immediately. FPAccess uses a low overhead protocol, so transfer is very fast.
- can transfer additional information easily (name, unit, description ….) and
- it is possible to set parameter values of the created data objects.
The parameters of FlexPro objects are meant for single values only. Please take a look at the corresponding property page for a list of allowed types.
