SPC Stats Visualization - TestStand database - Python Pandas


Recommended Posts

Hi There 

I want to go from TestStand's output i.e. database to HTML5 SPC charts. Sorta like http://moderndata.plot.ly/using-plotly-from-labview-via-python/ Has anyone done this or used Bokeh or Enthough's data tool before?  What about these tools with TDMS or HDF5?

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Best,

Pavan

I've gone from TDMS to Plotly using Python. There's a guy who maintains a Python module for importing TDMS data to Python on GitHub. I've used it successfully on one project so far.

Plotly is a rest API (V1, V2). You don't need (nor should want) Python. Just use the HTTP VIs in LabVIEW.

Well that all depends. If you've got TDMS files that you want to post process and or analyze, Python might be exactly what you want. That was the case for this particular project. It was considered advantageous to not require LabVIEW. Plotly was just used as the visualization tool after post processing the data.

If the goal is to create some data in LabVIEW and display it in Plotly, then I agree that you shouldn't need to bring another language into the mix.

I still think it's great that Adam Reeve put a tool out there that allows us to read TDMS without requiring LabVIEW!

I wouldn't use Python for this just like I wouldn't use PHP - right tool for the right job and with NI support, which is second to none.
