Data Logging and Traceable Data

Blogs, LabVIEW Blog
One of the important criteria to consider while designing the data logging is the traceability of the data in future, in relative to the device/product under test.  Some logging is required only for temporary purpose but some data are required even till the end of the device life cycle.  A traceable data is required if you think you're logging product level details and and it needs to be persistent till the death of that product. Few scenarios where you would need traceable data are... When the product is out to end customers and end customers logs you with some defects with the product, you would need to trace back what exactly happened to the product during the testing phase using the traceable data.  Or whether there is similar pattern of…

SVN Error – Currently locked by other user

Blogs, Snippets
When this error happens in your Tortoise SVN Commit screen as shown below, then it means (I assume) that some time back that user had svn-locked that file and later deleted from SVN by using keep-lock in svn commit window (or in somewhere the keep-lock played badly). How to fix it then? Go to the logs of that folder in which that the file was locked as explained in error message above (in my case, I went to UserAccountAuthentication logs).  Look for the file in one of the recent revision as below, right click and choose "Browse repository". This should bring up the repo version when that file existed in repo.  In the repo browser, right click that error file and choose the "Break Lock".  This should break the lock…

Log Any LabVIEW data to CSV File or SQLite DB

Blogs, LabVIEW Blog
Have you ever tried to log your LabVIEW data to CSV or SQLite?  While logging your data from LabVIEW to a CSV/SQLite database, have you ever wanted to avoid the daunting job of creating the DB schema or creating the CSV headers for logging?  How daunting is the job of converting the LabVIEW data to CSV strings or SQLite data types?  We use to spend a lot of time for that.  Isn't it? Here is a tool which I have created recently can ease this logging activity in LabVIEW.  This is simple table logger which logs all your data to only one table (Yes! even your array data will be logged in the same table with other data). All you need to do is wire your LabVIEW data to the…

Why Life is Hard?

Blogs, Consciousness Blog
Often times I face simple situations in life as very hardship and think why the life is hard to live?  Why not life can be ease for everyone so that everyone can live enjoyably forever like the major of the fantasy movie endings?  Irrespective of different situations, whether you are rich or poor, whether you have good health or bad health, whether you're blessed with child or not blessed with child, whether you're living with your life-partner or divorced your life-partner, whether you have this or that..., there is hardship in some form for almost all of us.  Isn't it so?  Why is that put up in us? I have some realization that life is hard for some reasons.  As long as we are realizing the Oneness, the Truth, the…

We Are Software Craftsman

Blogs
I immediately signed  the manifesto when I first saw the software craftsmanship.   Since my boyhood days, I always wondered and inspired by traditional craftsmen who brings the artistic outlook to any materials.  Whether it's wooden made art, or glass art or concrete arts as modern homes, it's always been inspiring for me about how the artist dives into the creativity and bring it a life with their hands, mind and concentration.  (more…)

What would I ask the universe?

Blogs, Consciousness Blog
I have recently seen Jim Carry's extreme speech on YouTube just before my afternoon nap.  I went on to sleep due to extreme tiredness.  The speech ran through out the nap and made me sleepless.  To be brief I have been searching for who am I.  I can understand all these that I'm not a thought, I'm beyond a thought, the awareness which even observes the floating thoughts in the mind.
