Exporting the data from an array
Hello, I'm new to robot studio and the programming language rapid.
I have created a distance measurement for my robot's tcp and have put the data in an array. The only way I know to access it is from the flexpendant.
But is there any way to export the data in my array? I would like to analyse it in a different program.

Hi ...You can export to a file.Look in the help for the Open function.With it you can create, write, add content...This is a good start.Here is a small example:
! FUNCTION TO RETURN THE PATH OF THE NEWLY CREATED FILE ##################################################### 1.0 #### ! The FileNew function creates a new file with a specific name in the specified directory or in the default directory, depending on the conditions. If the file already exists, ! the function does nothing and returns the complete file path. If file access errors occur, they are handled in the error handling block. ! This function is designed to create a new file in a specified directory or in the default directory (HOME:), if the file does not exist. ! The variables 'fileIodevL' (file handle), 'pathL' (directory path), and 'isDirectoryOrFileL' (checks whether it is a directory or file) are used for ! data manipulation. ! The function checks if the parameter 'directoryPathP' (directory path) is provided. If provided, it checks if it is an existing directory using the ! 'IsFile' function with the 'Directory' option. If it does not exist, it creates the directory and constructs the directory path (if provided) with a slash ("/") in the variable 'pathL'. ! It also checks if the file with the name 'fileNameP.conf' exists in the specified directory (pathL). If it does not exist, it creates it using the file handle 'Open' ! with the 'Append' option. After creating the file, it is immediately closed with 'Close' so that it can be manipulated by another function. ! The 'typeP' corresponds to the type of file to be saved. By default, saved files are of type '.data'. ! If the file was successfully created, the function returns the complete file path (pathL+fileNameP+typeL). Otherwise, it returns an empty string. ! There is an error handling block that specifically deals with the error 'ERR_FILEACC'. This error may occur if there is a file access issue. If this ! error occurs, the function will attempt to proceed to the next instruction using the 'TRYNEXT' command. This error usually occurs when attempting to open a non-existent file. ! ! PARAMETERS: ! \string directoryPathP: If provided and it does not exist, creates the directory; otherwise, it just sets the path to it. If not provided, defaults to 'HOME:\'. ! string fileNameP: Name of the file to be saved. ! \string typeP: If provided, this type is used to save the file. By default, it saves as '.data'. ! ! RETURN: ! Returns the file path. ! ! USAGE EXAMPLE: ! MODULE ModPRG() ! VAR string directoryPathP; ! VAR string fileNameP; ! VAR string typeP; ! ! PROC main() ! directoryPathP:="TEMP" ! fileNameP:="Parameter"; ! typeP:=".sys"; ! ! TPErase; ! TPWrite FileNew(directoryPathP:=directoryPathP,fileNameP\typeP:=typeP); ! >> ~ "TEMP/Parameters.sys" ! TPWrite FileNew(fileNameP\typeP:=typeP); ! >> ~ "HOME/Parameters.sys" ! TPWrite FileNew(fileNameP); ! >> ~ "HOME/Parameters.data" ! ENDPROC ! ENDMODULE ! ! LIMITATION: ! The input parameters "\string directoryPathP", "string fileNameP" and "\string typeP" are limited to 80 characters. ! FUNC string FileNew(\string directoryPathP,string fileNameP\string typeP) ! ## ATTRIBUTES ############################################################################## VAR iodev fileIodevL; VAR string pathL:=""; VAR string typeL:=".data"; ! ## ATTRIBUTES ############################################################################## ! Checks for the existence of the DIRECTORY; if it does not exist, creates one in HOME:\ ... IF Present(directoryPathP) THEN MakeDir directoryPathP; pathL:=directoryPathP+"/"; ENDIF IF Present(typeP) typeL:=typeP; ! Create file ... Open pathL\File:=fileNameP+typeL,fileIodevL\Append; ! ###### Writes your file ... ! If the file is open then insert a line at the end of the file ... Write fileIodevL,CDate()+"; "+CTime()+"; FILE;"; Write fileIodevL,"----------; --------; ------------------;"; Write fileIodevL,"... TEXT ..."; Write fileIodevL," "; ! Close file Close fileIodevL; ! If the file was created, returns the path; otherwise, returns empty IF IsFile(pathL+fileNameP+typeL\RegFile) THEN RETURN pathL+fileNameP+typeL; ELSE RETURN ""; ENDIF ERROR ! ############################################################################################# ! POSSIBLE ERROR HANDLING ! ############################################################################################# ! If an error is encountered, proceed to the next instruction ... IF ERRNO=ERR_FILEACC THEN TRYNEXT; ENDIF ENDFUNC

You want to analyze it in a different rapid program?Lee Justice0
