Owning Palette: UFF58 File I/O VIs

Installed With: Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite

Opens an existing UFF58 (universal file format) file, creates a new UFF58 file, or replaces an existing UFF file. You can input the file programmatically or interactively using a file dialog box.

Details  

	UFF58 file path specifies the absolute path to the UFF58 file. If UFF58 file path is empty (default) or is Not A Path, the VI displays the UFF File Path dialog box from which you can select a UFF58 file.
	open mode (create:0) specifies the operation to perform while opening a file. 0 create—Creates a new file. Error 8 occurs if the file already exists. 1 create or replace—Creates a new file or replaces a file if it exists. 2 open (read only)—Opens an existing file for read only.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use exception control to treat what is normally an error as no error or to treat a warning as an error. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	file refnum returns the UFF58 file refnum associated with the file you want to open.
	UFF58 file path out returns the absolute path of the UFF58 file you open.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.

SVT UFF58 Open File Details

You cannot edit a UFF58 file with the UFF58 File I/O or UFF58 Advanced VIs after you write and close the file. If you need to edit the contents of an existing UFF58 file after you write and close the file, you can read the information then write modified information to a new UFF58 file.
