Import data to EJS October 28, 2014 5:23PM UTC
Felix Yepez 6 Posts	I am interested working with EJS. I want to make an analysis of the vibrations in a DC motor shaft, i have already acquired data (signal 4 to 20 mA) from proximity sensors located in the longitudinal and radial axis of the motor shaft. My system allows me to export data in csv, xls or txt. My question is, Can I import the data directly into EJS and perform my simulation? (i want to make a Fourier analysis, orbit diagram and other graphics and then access them remotely via internet). I've read that it can be done in cooperation with Matlab. What do you recommend? What would be the most reliable solution? Login to reply

Sure. You can read data either from the disk or from a URL on the Internet.

The attached example shows how to do it. (It also shows how to write data to disk.)

The example uses a plain TeXT file.

Notice that accusing disk is only possible when running the Java simulation as a program (JAR file), not as an applet.

Reading from the Internet (from a URL) is possible also as an applet, though.

Here is the example in Java! I forgot it!
