Jordan Kuehn Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Your question is heavily dependent upon your sampling needs. If you are sampling over long periods of time (say temperature variations) then you are fine to use windows based timing combined with tab-delimited ASCII.

Prak Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Any reference material related to above topic would have been really helpful. Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Any reference material related to above topic would have been really helpful. Why don't you tell us more about your specific application. At the moment it just looks you're writing a paper and you want us to do your research for you. Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 These are questions from the online CLAD example, and people have probably asked about it before. Do a search for "CLAD questions" or for the text of the question itself. Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 These are questions from the online CLAD example, and people have probably asked about it before. Do a search for "CLAD questions" or for the text of the question itself. My answer to #2 would be "none of the above". Good thing I've never taken the CLAD. Still curious why one would need reference material... Quote Link to comment
asbo Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 My answer to #2 would be "none of the above". Good thing I've never taken the CLAD. Still curious why one would need reference material... OP probably just wants some background reading, instead of just an answer. Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 OP probably just wants some background reading, instead of just an answer. Very well could be! But mentioning that up front would have been nice. Especially since he/she is a first time poster. Going back to work now... Quote Link to comment
Prak Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yair..Searching is Not helping ... ------------------------- 500 club : Ans to #2 is Tab-delimited ASCII.... lol ...Thanks for u'r honest reply ... Why??? dont know yet.When to use TDM,Binary format???Still dont know in depth. ------------------------ #1 for extended period of time ans is Get date\time in seconds.But for Small period of time my ans revolves between "wait until next ms multiple" and "Get date\time in seconds"??? ...Any Suggestions would be really helpful. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 500 club : Ans to #2 is Tab-delimited ASCII.... lol ...Thanks for u'r honest reply ... I know NI's answer to #2. My answer would have been a CSV file. It's readable by anything, Excel included. And has the benefit that the character that is separating your data is obvious in any text reader. But that's just me... While we love to help here, we get a fair share of posts from people who don't want to learn, but just want us to do their school project for them. Sorry if I misunderstood your intent. 1 Quote Link to comment
jaegen Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I know NI's answer to #2. My answer would have been a CSV file... We use CSV files a ton (too much) here too, but be warned: CSVs don't like Europe (or Europe doesn't like CSVs) - any country that uses commas as a decimal separator can't use commas as a column separator. After being bitten by this years ago all my text logging code allows for a re-configurable separator and file extension. Jaegen 2 Quote Link to comment
Prak Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 500 club : I was preparing for CLAD but the above written question was leading to, too many qun's and ans from my perspective... thanks for ur reply and the efforts ...

I have wrote the CLAD n waiting for results...If i fail ill come up with more qun's ...Adios Quote Link to comment
