How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?

How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?
This is only 8.3% of the available disk drive space!
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E7E2F5657B6​026358625750B007201A6?OpenDocument
National Instrument's solution is either reformat you drive to less than 126GB or replace the drive with one less than that size.
Please NI, tell me you are going to fix your LabVIEW Real Time soon, and that we won't have to wait for LabVIEW RT 9.2.1 in 2011 for this one to be fixed.

Drives as large as 126GB or more have been around since about mid 2002.  That's about 7 Years now and LabVIEW Real Time STILL can't use drives larger that 126GB!  Please NI.  Do something.
We deserve fixes to the old versions of LabVIEW RT.  How about updates to LabVIEW RT.  Such as 7.0.2, 7.1.2, 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.
We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT such as 9.0 until we have some of bugs fixed in the existing versions.

NI is not making the Real Time OS in house. I do not remember which firm that is making it. Anyway you are allowed to use a hard drive that has been partitioned. And 126GB is some space is it not? I remember Bill Gates declared one time that 640Kb ram should be more than enough for any PC application also in the future 
Coq Rouge (formerly t06afre),
The RealTime OS is an NI Product that is purchased from NI.
NI may or may not outsource design, developement, or manufacturing of the products that it sells under its own Company name.
For this reason I would be concerned if I were a PXI Embedded Controller designer/developer in the United States. 
Yes, 126GB is some space.  I see that there are now 2TB drives available.  126GB would be 6.3% of a new 2TB drive.  Should we all be happy with being able to use 6.3% of the available drive space.  Moore's Law seams to be alive and well.  Drives larger than 126GB have been readily available for 5 or 6 Years.  This should not be a surprise to NI.  Why don't they do something about it.
Thanks for the trivia on Bill Gates.  I must have missed that one since I don't try to keep up with Microsoft.  I believe that he is a wonderful person and he and his family are doing wonders for the world in their "retirement".   The world needs more like him.
What I do remember is Steve Jobs telling us that we would never need more that 128MB and that we would never to need to do anymore software development because everything was already in the "ToolBox".

  • You can not authorize more than 5 computers

    I have music on my MacBook Pro, in iTunes, that I want to use, but it comes from an old account, that I don't use anymore, and some computers/iPods that are really not working. When I want to ear those musics/songs, I receive this message, when trying to enter the account, old, not the actual one: "you can not authorize more than 5 computers"
    What can I do?

    I quote:
    You can deauthorize all computers connected to your Apple ID if you've reached the maximum five authorizations:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
    (end quote): once done you can then re-authorise computers as needed.

  • HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

    How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

    You put it on one carrier, somehow it got lock. Apple will NOT unlock it for you. You have to get the CARRIER to do that. If you bought it UNlocked, but got a locked one, take it back. Just because you got your iPhone contract FREE does NOT mean it is UNlocked, it mean you can cancel you usage from that carrier at any time, but still can't take your phone to a new one and use it.

  • HT1386 How come I can't sync more than 21 songs?

    Why can't I sync more than 21 songs to my I phone?

    The number should only be limited by the available capacity on your phone.  If you are having problems syncing music to your phone and you aren't manually managing your music, check the following:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone and your music should transfer.

  • More than 1 ms MOMO digital IO 7358 in LabView Real-Time 8.5, error downloading EPOS dll file into RT

    Hi all,
    I have several problems here, I tried to google but still I could not solve the problem.
    Here are my questions:
    1. I tried to download an example program of EPOS which require to download a DLL file into the RT, but it failed, here's the error (I attached the picture) 01/02/2008 13:29:50.511 [error] LabVIEW:
    Failed to load shared library EposCmd.dll:_VCS_GetProtocolStackName@16:C on RT target device.
    From the NI.com forum,
    I found a similar problem and it said by installing Network Variable Engine and Variable Client Support into the LV-RT, and I did, but still failed. Any one can help me about this?
    2. I posted a question also in lavag, I think this section is more appropriate. "I
    am trying to use the digital IO of the motion controller of 7358, but then I realized the delay is more that 1 ms (I checked using the oscilloscope), I attached the code (MOMO = Must On Must Off). Is this real, I mean the hardware delay between on-off is as big as this? Anyone knows the solution for this?"
    Note: I am using LV-RT 8.5, PXI-7358 Motion Controller, EPOS 70/10
    Thank you for any help

    Hello bono,
    1.  From what I have seen, this error is usually caused by one of two things.  The first is the Shared Variable software components not being installed, which is covered in this Knowledgebase.  The other is due to a corruption of the ni-rt.ini file on the Real-Time controller.  You can follow the steps layed out in this Knowledgebase, which gives three possible remedies.  You could also try reinstalling the software (firmware) or create a PXI Uninstall disk from Measurement & Automation Explorer by selecting Tools»Remote Systems»RT PXI Disk Utilities»Create PXI Uninstall Disk.  Boot the PXI Controller from the PXI Uninstall Disk, which will erase the ni-rt.ini and ph_exec.exe on the target.  However, you will need to reconfigure the controller after doing this.
    2.  Due to the nature of the digital I/O on motion controllers, it is not surprising that you are seeing around a 1ms delay.  It deals with the fact that it must update the motion controller with the new value on each control loop.  This Knowledgebase gives a little more clarification regarding the 7350 specs.

  • How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time? Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the item

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

  • How come you can't put a Tab in a Cluster?

    Hello,
    How come you can't put a Tab Control in a Cluster?
    It looks like users have been asking this question
    for years, and all the way back to LV versions 6.1.
    Someday, please, pretty please, NI.
    Please. Maybe by version 9.5 of LV?

    Kevin:  Sorry Ben, but think how I must feel.
    Ben wrote:  I understand the cosmetic and GUI interaction part of it OK.  Its the "how would it code?" part that send my head spinning.
    Kevin:  We don't need to worry about that.  We'll let the NI LABview guiruis worry about that.  They know how to program for TABs and they know how to program for Clustors.  Now they just need to put them together.
    Ben wrote:  Would the tab control be available via bundle by name and unbundle?
    Kevin:  Yes.  It would simply return the value indicating which page is selected.
    Ben wrote:  If the cluster was an indicator and the tab value was "page1" would the user be able to select page2?
    Kevin:  Of course, the block diagram would simply pass the enum indicating which page to display.
    Ben wrote:  On the block diagram, would there be a relationship between the tab and the elements on each tab?
    Kevin:  None.  Or no more so than the relationship of any element on a panel or front panel.
    Ben wrote:  On the FP the tab control has a "pages" property and from those we can get an array of refs to the controls on the pages. Would we still be able to that within a cluster.
    Kevin:  Yes.  No Differrence.
    Ben wrote:  Aside from the above Q's I would guess that the tab in a cluster would only allow greater abuse of clusters i.e. "Super Clusters".
    Kevin:  It is not my intent to abuse any Super Cluster in any way shape or from.  In contrast, would help to spread out some clutter from ones front pannels and move the clutter into tabs within a cluster.  The beauty of it would be that it would come automatic, and handled by labview.
    Ben wrote:  There was also until recently, limitations on the size of the type descriptors. Very complex FP's and large clusters would be hit by the problem that the type descriptor need more than the 16 bit allocated.
    Kevin:  I would never suggest even coming close to putting more that 65535 items in a cluser in any fashion.
    Ben wrote:  I do not pretend to know why NI did or did not allow this. In the end I can only share my guess and hope somone who does know will post.

  • Can I use more than one version of Adobe Reader on an iPad, 8.1 touch and 11.1

    Can I use more than one version of Adobe Reader on an iPad  adobe Reader Touch and Reader 11.1 .  .  I use Acrobat XI Pro although I had some old files that were stored on adobe.com from a prior version of acrobat 9 student edition.
    I guess the same question for my Surface Pro2 Computer might apply, although I gather from what I read that you shouldn't have two versions of reader on a computer.

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.
