Can't ad compact fieldpoint to a project. Targets and devices button is missing

Hello,
I am using Labview 8.5 evaluation and a compact fieldfoint. I can see the fieldpoint in measurement and automation explorer and i can see the measured values comming form the different modules, so this works fine i gues.
The problems start when i want to use the fieldpoint. I can't ad it to my project!!. Normally you right click on the project and then you see the buttons new and targets and devices. In my case i can only see the button new, there is no button Targets And Devices. How could i solve this problem??
Greets,
Adrie

Hello Adrie,
Thank you for your forum post. Bad to hear about the problems wit fieldpoint. Can you look which fieldpoint driver you are using? You are able to find this in the Measurement and Automation eXplorer (MAX) under software. Its possible that your version isn't compatible with Labview. Please find the latest driver under this link.
I know that our evaluation software loses functionality after a while, so how long is your trial running at this moment?
Please let me know if the new fieldpoint software doesn't work.
Best regards,

Can't see add targets and devices in project explorer

Hello!
i think I have a strange query. i have Labview 2010 evaluation version. i am trying to add my cRIO 9004 to a project. I am just trying to follow the instructions in the getting started with cRIO manual. it says, add crio to the project by right clicking root project and selecting NEW>>ADD TARGETS AND DEVICES. The problem is I see the link for NEW but once i click that i dont see a sub-link "add new target or device" appear, INSTEAD i see the dialog box for opening a NEW LABVIEW FILE appear. every where in the forum/knowledgebase/support trouble shooting and getting started articles have mentioned right-click root project>>select NEW>> select add target or device>> , as if it IS SUPPOSED TO APPEAR STANDARD in all new projects! But I dont see it! i dont get what I am missing. The software version i have are below:
on cRio:
NI VISA 5.0
NI RIO 3.0
LV RT 8.6
and it matches with what i have installed on my host computer.
I can communicate with the cRIO device both using MAX and also using ping command in windows command prompt.
Any help would be great!!
Thanks!
Rajesh
Solved!
Go to Solution.

well yes! it didnt strike me though that i had to reinstall my LV addon modules as you had mentioned drivers. anyways thank you!

New "Targets and Devices..." dialog does not open in Project window

Hi I am trying to add an FPGA device in my project, however when I right click on Project, and go to New -> Targets and Devices...It appears as though it is busy (the mouse icon becomes the hourglass) and after while it just goes back to normal and nothing seems to happen. I have an FPGA device installed which is the RIO card PXI-7831R, and the devices seems to be working fine. When opening a project that already contains it as a device, it is displayed fine. Its just the dialog to add new devices and targets does not appear. I have tried Repairing NI Labview 8.0 and NI Labview FPGA Module, but the problem still exists. I would appreciate if anyone has any idea as to why this is happening and how to resolve it. Thanks!

Hi Kewsvnet
So you have tried the device on another machine and it works fine, is it only on a specific machine that this issue is occuring on? I think I misunderstood the issue yesterday, am I right in understanding that when you click on 'New Devices and Targets' absoloutely nothing happens apart from the 'hour-glass' appearing for a while? If this is the case it maybe the case that LabVIEW may have become corrupted in some manner. Repairing it will not solve an issue like this. What you should try is to force LabVIEW to create a new .ini file, which holds all the configuration settings. To do this you need to rename the .ini file so that when LabVIEW starts it will detect no .ini file an create a new one.
The .ini file can be located via C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\ LabVIEW Configuration Settings (it is a file size in the range of 2Kb - 10Kb)
You need to rename this file 'LabVIEW Backup', then attempt to restart LabVIEW and a new project and try to add a target.
Let me know how you get on

I can not see my screen, but I can listen to notifications, listen to music with headphones, and my button locked not responds

I can not see my screen, but I can listen to notifications, listen to music with headphones, and my button locked not responds

I believe the keys on an imac are F11 and F12, for dark / bright respectively.
Try that, I think it'll work.
If not, then try out all the "F" keys, one of them will work.

I installed the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25) on a new Windows 7 PC. I can see ahred libraries on Shared but can't import as the line containing the Settings and Import buttons does not display. Any suggestions?

To move the iTunes library to this new computer I switched on Home Sharing and can see the other libraries on my home network. If I select tracks from a Shared library I can't import them as the strip containing "Show: All Items" and the "Settings" and "Import" buttons, does not display at the bottom of the screen. Goes straight from the list of tracks to the strip with Playlist icons and xxxx items, tttttt total time, yyyy GB.
Any suggestions for making the Import button appear?

I hvae the EXACT same issue
I built a new computer which is EXTREMELY fast overclocked i7 ect and.. ITUNES DOESNT WORK

ANYTHING with itunes (everything else is premium speed).

Can't get icloud mail to work today, on and device, is there a problem with server?

Anyone else with same problem or anyone can tell me how to sort it out please?

I too am having the same problem. Whats the point of having a server status stating everything is working when clearly it isnt. I'm just in the process of changing all my important mail stuff over to gmail - I just cant be without mail for hours whilst there is no status update.
I would understand if this were a free service - however its not.
Does anyone have an ETA on a fix ?
Thanks

Minimize, Maximize, and close buttons are missing and nothing fixes the problem. What can I do next to fix this problem?

I use windows 7. These buttons work but invisible. I saw someone on this forum that had the same problem but he uses xp so I think his solution will not work for me. Please, someone help me.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

On my iphone 4 I can only hear ringer, all other sound is off and volume buttons dont work. Can anyone help?

I have no sound or vlume control. only can hear phone ring. Please help !!!!!

If the volume buttons don't work then you can go into settings, general, scroll all the way down to accessibility, click it, turn on assistive touch, go back and a little gray square with a white circle should appear. Click that and then click devices and there should be a volume control there.
Hope this helps!

I have version 4.0.1 on Linux (Ubuntu 11.4), and the "Import and Backup" button is missing in the "Library" pane, so I am unable to restore my bookmarks. How can I fix this?

I am using an older computer as a dual-boot machine, with XP Pro and Ubuntu 11.4 both running independently on it. On the Windows side, I have Firefox all set up with my bookmarks, which I restored from a backup made on my primary computer. On the Linux side, there is no button available to do this. I have looked up the Help for this, and followed the directions, but the "Library" pane simply does not have any buttons showing, where it should say "Organize, Views, Import and Backup". The buttons are completely missing.

Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

Can someone please help me get the close minamize and maximize buttons back above each video?

I enterened something in terminal that made the top bar on each video with the close minamize and maximize buttons disapear...does anyone know how to get it back? thank you in advanced.

Check the very first post on this forum: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=775514. You didn't mention whether your controller has disappeared also, but it seems like the second or fourth command on that page should help.

Can compact fieldpoint work together with regular fieldpoint?

Hi,
I'm using regular FieldPoint modules with Labview 8.5 right now. I want to add new modules, can I choose compact FieldPoint moudles?
Thanks!
Gman

You'll have to get a new backplane and a new controller or network module. Compact Fieldpoint modules aren't physically compatible with the regular field point modules. So the new devices will show up as a new target in MAX. Beyond that, LabVIEW will be able to work with both just have in any application that would have multiple targets.

PoE switch and Compact Fieldpoint

Hello all... Is it possible to connect my Compact Field Point Controller to a PoE switch (Power over Ethernet Switch)??? This is because some other devices on the same subnet require PoE (IP cameras) and I wanted to know if this can cause some sort of problem with my Cfp... Should I connect the Compact Fieldpoint to a regular switch and connect that switch to the PoE switch??
Let me know any suggestions...
Thanks a million in advance,

Hi Jaime!
Currently there are only certain products that support the PoE standard, unfortunately the cFP family is not one of them. The best you can do is connect your cFP to a switch and then to the PoE switch like you said and check if that works. Here is the document where the PoE and NI products are described:

Project Summary and Base Calendar Reports Error Message when Saving to Desktop from Server

We have a user that gets the following popup when she attempts to save file from the Server to her desktop:
"The Project Summary and Base Calendar reports cannot be opened, renamed, or deleted". The popup includes a red circle with a white "X" and an "OK" button. The OK button must be clicked 27 times
before the file will eventually save to the desktop.
I have been able to replicate this error when I try to save her file to my desktop, as well.
I can see from the Organizer that the Project Summary and Base Calendar reports are part of the Global, but not part of the file-specific reports while on the Server. This is true for other schedules in our enterprise, so I am not sure why this is
occurring. After performing the save and clicking "OK" 27 times, there is exactly 27 reports listed for this file in the Organizer, but the Project Summary and Base Calendar reports are the only two that did not transfer with the file.
What is going on here and why is it happening for just this file? It feels like we are getting into a contention issue between the local Global.MPT and the Enterprise Global.
We are on Project Server v2010 SP2.

Thanks for your feedback Chris!
When you open the organizer, check that you don't have for the project in question any enterprise object on the project side.
Have you installed the
latest PS2010 CU? A more radical way for reparing a file is to export it as an XML file and save/publish it back on Project Server as an MPP file. But the project UID will change thus it will cause trouble
in case you have timesheets. You could also try to delete the project and restore it (assuming you have the daily backup in place).
Hope this helps,

Responsive Project & On-Screen Play Button

Hello,
I'm starting to play around with the responsive projects with Captivate 8. I've produced a couple of sample projects (with different themes) but have an odd issue with the play button on the first slide:
The project plays well enough but that play button in the middle doesn't way to go away. I've searched the net and this forum with no luck. Anyone have any ideas. My phone is a HTC One.
Thanks much!

Hi There,
While creating responsive project in Captivate 8, can you please check under Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End > Auto Play is checked or unchecked.
If it is unchecked then play button will appear in the beginning of your project.

Add project target programmatically

Hi all,
I am trying to add RT (cRIO FPGA) target programmatically to the project in similar manner as in "Add Files to Project.vi" LV in examples.
I've found some posts here dealing with adding folders/files but none of them mentions adding and configuring different targets and devices in project .
Any help would be greatly appreciated
jma

Hi jmaczak,
If we are talking about project API, I'm not sure whether you can do it with it (I have been playing for a while and without sucess). I found information saying:
"You can use Project API for:
Create a project
Save and load project from disk
Add or delete file or VI to or from the project
Use or modify Build Specification of the project"
This is it. Tough, It could be possible to add target to project in the way that you modify project as any other XML file.
the part you want to add looks similar to this one:
<Item Name="Master" Type="RT CompactRIO">
      <Item Name="Chassis" Type="cRIO Chassis">
            <Item Name="FPGA Target" Type="FPGA Target">
            </Item>
     </Item>
</Item>
Take it as extremely simplified tist of items and its properties - you can get better idea if you create some project manually and open it in some text editor.
I'm not sure whether it will help you to do what you need, but I hope that you don't have to spend hours investigating what you can achieve with project API

Martin Stefik
