Device is simulated

Hiya,
I am learning to build vi without connecting hardware. I created simulated device pc16220 in measurement and explorer. I tested signal it was white noise. I went back to labview and used examples code to locate acq&graph voltage-int.vi and inserted parameters in physical channel control and ran the vi. I obtained sine wave.
I want to check if device is simulated and can't locate deviceissimulated pallete and don't know how to perform this action. A tutorial in zone.ni.com give following info but I didn't find the route function>>ni measurement.......
( from zone.ni.com To discover during the execution of a program whether a device is simulated, use the DeviceIsSimulated property on the NI-DAQmx Device property node. Open the All Functions>>NI Measurements>>DAQmx>>DAQmx Advanced>>DAQmx System Setup subpalette to find this property node. The property returns true if the device is simulated.
Also in measurement explorer I only added analog voltage signal on a0 channel but in labview I get sine wave irrespective of which channel I choose in physical channel control.
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks and Regards

You've marked the question as solved but now you say you still can't find the palette? The instructions to open up the palette are correct and the property node that you are looking for is there. Can you not see the palette or the property node?

Is it possible to add a device in simulated NI DAQmx device or modular Instrument?

Hi,
I want to simulate PXIe 8115 module without hardware.Is it possible?If Yes Can I add the device in simulated NI DAQmx device or modular Instrument?
Please Mark the solution as accepted if your problem is solved and donate kudoes

Hm, these are several very basic questions.....
The controller (8115) is a "complete" computer excluding a housing, power supply and external cooling. The later three components are the chassis, in your case the PXIe-1062Q.
The controller can be run by a Windows based OS (e.g. Windows 7) or Real Time ("RT"). So what do you have installed on the 8115?
In either case, communication with that controller by an external, additional PC or laptop is best done by Ethernet. You can use different protocols on Ethernet like a customized TCP/IP based protocol or by using NI Shared Variables.
NI DAQmx is a hardware device driver. The purpose of this is to use a National Instrument based measurement device in a computer. If you want to use an NI device in your PXIe system, it is very likely that you require to have DAQmx installed on the 8115 controller. DAQmx is available for Windows as well as for RT.
DAQmx in this use-case does normally not provide you a direct access to the devices in the PXIe chassis over Ethernet by *any* external computer. You have to write an application which will be run on the 8115 controller to interface (or "relay) the data to your external computer.
hope this clears things up,
Norbert
PS: You should ask your local NI branch to send someone to you.... i think a direct discussion with an NI employee should be beneficial for you. Normally, a sales representative is sufficient as NI sales reps are quite technical.
CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
Expert: Geometry
Marketing Manager: Just ignore it.

[Iphone Development] Device or Simulator : how can the App know?

Hi,
Since I encountered a few differences from run on Device and the same App on the simulator, I'd like to perform a few tests to be sure of any points. To do that, I need to know whether the App is running on the device or the simulator.
Is there a way to figure it out?
I tried
#if TARGETOSIPHONE
#endif
but it is always true, whether I am on device or simulator.
Thanks in advance.

The code you're showing is dedicated to the compiler, and the code bewteen #if and #end will or will not be part of your binary depending on the condition.
If you wish to get the info at runtime you'd better use the UIDevice class.
[[UIDevice currentDevice] model]
will return an NSString with the name of the device (i.e. @"iPod Touch") and you'll be able to check for the simulator model string.
Hope this helps

Import MAX configuration without device or simulated device

I'm hoping there's a way to do this.
In previous versions of MAX, it was possible to import Channel and Task information without having to import the Device. This was handy if you didn't have the DAQ boards installed on that PC, but you needed to check Task and Channel information.
I'm currently trying to import an .nce file from a project where I'd used a USB6008 as the DAQ device. I don't have access to one of those at the moment and it's one of the devices that cannot be simulated.
I have tried simulating a similar device with hopes of somehow "tricking" it to import. So far, no luck.
Does anyone know of a way I can have a look at the Channel and Task information in that .nce file or possibly fanagle it into importing without or with another simulated device?
Patrick Allen

Hi pallen,
I actually don’t know of a way to change the configuration in the .nce file. It's a binary file which main use is to import and export complete configurations when you do not need to edit that configuration outside of MAX. The .ini and .txt are intended for editing outside of MAX. However you can always import the .nce in MAX, make the changes needed and export a .ini to your final destination. Sorry that this is not too helpful on your current situation.

Import Configuration as real device not simulated

Hoping there is a way for this.
We have multiple DAQs and multiple computers that can be used in any configuration at any time. One computer has all the DAQs in NIMAX loaded. We would like to be able to grab any computer use any VI and use it with no worries of configuration (DAQ1 is DAQ1 on each computer).
I backed up the configuration file on the main computer, and attempted to export it on another. It states that all the devices will be simulated on the new computer. If they are simulated in NIMAX, correct me if I'm wrong, when I connect the real daq to that computer it will create a new device assigning it a new number, and therefore not allow the VI to work without re-configuration. Am I correct on this? How do I get around this?

When you add a read card, just delete the simulated device and configure the real one to be whatever name you need it to be. Shouldn't take more than 2 minutes (including the loading of MAX).
Or if you really want to play it safe, delete the simulated device and then reimport your DAQ configuration.

Graphics on device vs simulator

I use graphics in my app. They work fine on the simulator, but cannot be found on the device (boxed question marks appear). Is the path to the graphics different on the simulator than it is on the iPhone? I'm using the 2.0 OS. Please help!

I found that filenames are case sensitive on the iphone but not on the simulator so check that.

Compact fieldpoint simulated device for simulation

I am preparing to use a compact fieldpoint device (cFp-2120) with some I/O modules for DAQ through ethernet communication.
However, the hardware is not ready yet.
Is it possible I can create a simulated compact fild point device with those I/O modules in MAX and then use these simulated devices just as the real devices in LabView to start writing the vi programs
Thanks
jinhua

Hi,
It sounds like you are interested in a feature similar to simulated devices like we offer with our DAQ devices. Unfortunately we don't offer this feature with FieldPoint. Let us know if we can help you in some other way and we'll be glad to answer any other questions you might have.

Generating a custom signal through a simulated device

Hello,
I am acquiring 6 channels of strain gauge data simultaneously through the SCXI-1000 chasis with the SCXI 1520 card. I want to create a synthetic input signal so I can test my programming structure. I created a simulated device and simulated channels, but I cannot figure out how to control the simulated signal that is being generated. I would like to be able to specify a waveform, frequency, and amplitude of the simulated data so that I can test some special cases of my application. i cannot use the 'simulate signal' subvi because my code needs to remain unchanged to truly test this. please let me know if this is possible through a simulated device. your help is much appreciated.
thanks,
jt

jt,
You can write your own simulated signal source. Make a copy of the DAQ Read VI with a different name. This gives you a VI with the same connector pane so it can be substituted into your program. Open the simulation VI and remove all of the DAQ stuff. Put your simulation code in its place. Substitute the simulation VI for the DAQ Read VI in the main program.
Now, how do you "specify a waveform, frequency, and amplitude of the simulated data?"
You can add a cluster with controls for all those variables to the connector pane if there is a terminal available. Or you can use an Action Engine. Call the action engine with the command set to Write in your setup code or in a separate VI for the purpose. Inside the simulated DAQ Read VI call the AE with the command Read to get the parameters for your simulation. Your flexibility with this approach is limited only by your imagination and your coding skills.

[ANE] Repacking for simulator and fake support of device

Hello,
I have a question about anes, here is my problem : Some of the anes I use don't have simulator support or all-device support (only android, only iOS,...)
In my code, I of course test the device before calling anything so its fine from a runtime point of view (never had a runtime issue).
But, it does refuse to compile/launch. I know I could use multiple projects, compiler constants for imports, blablabla, but the best way to increase productivity would be to have them support all-device and simulator even if they do nothing with it.
So what I tried :
- rename ane as zip
- edit extensions.xml, add proper stuff
- rezip and rename back, and of course, don't call anything in the ane if you know your support is just "fake" for that device
It works for simulator BUT if I use the rezipped ane in a iOS build (which was supported), it refuses to build a release. So I have to switch ane back and forth.
It doesn't work if trying to add iOS support (well it compiles but when installing on device, install never ends). I tried adding a fake library.swf for iOS with only empty functions but didn't work.
Haven't encountered the case where I need to add new Android support so I can't say for that one.
Anyone knows of a quick way (which doesn't involve recreating all the concerned anes, since I don't have source code for them) ? Would create a huge productivity boost here.
I hope question is clear enough.

Understand that I'm not going to tell you that what you want is wrong. There's nothing wrong with wanting Flash on a tablet. The only problem is that the future of Flash no longer exists for tablets.

So, does anyone know if real Java and Flash support is indeed coming in the future or am I going to have to either return or sell these IPADS and go switch a competitor...
You can go to a competitor, but it won't help you in the long run since Adobe Flash on mobile is dead, and by the hand of Adobe themselves, not Apple. Here's the official announcement from 2 months ago:
Adobe Abandons Mobile Flash, Backs HTML5
You do have one alternative left: Buy a Windows-based tablet now. Why now? Because in mobile versions of Windows 8, Microsoft will no longer allow plug-ins like Flash:
Microsoft Follows Apple, Bans Flash From Windows 8 Tablet Software
In fact, even Microsoft's own Flash competitor, Silverlight, will not be allowed to run in tablet versions of Windows 8, only in desktop Windows.
In the end, your last alternative will be to buy a Windows-based tablet that, ironically, does not run the tablet version of Windows, and then never upgrade it to Windows 8 mobile. You will probably be able to be run Flash then. But since the tablet will run desktop Windows, have fun with 30 minutes of battery life, maybe less after you boot Flash...
fredfromewa wrote:
....they could easily have a much larger majority of the market with tablets by supporting Java and Flash.
Uh...all the way up to now, the iPad practically has the entire tablet market to itself. How is it possible that Flash would have made that significantly larger?
Seen from a different perspective...how is it that all the tablets that support Flash have completely failed to make a dent in the tablet market?
Neither angle seems to support what you're saying.

IPhone simulator Vs device Help please

I coded up an application and it works fine under the simulator. Now I go to run it on the iPhone and I get this:
error:cannot find interface declaration for 'NSHost'
Why would the app work in the simulator but not for the device? I have several apps that I wrote on the device so I know that is working properly.
Any help would be great. I am going out of my mind with this.

I've never done iPhone development, but I've had to deal with a few simulators. Simulators are never the same as the actual device - never. There could be random bugs either on the device or simulator side that cause one of them to fail. A very important point to remember is that just because it works on the simulator does not mean you have done it correctly. Perhaps you need to manually do an "import <NSHost.h>" on the iPhone. Or maybe there is no NSHost.h on the iPhone and you need to change your working simulator code.

Can't Debug On iOS Simulator Anymore... Why Did You Break It Adobe?

I see lots of posts on this subject, and I am experiencing the same issue. I fail to see why this change in the SDK was put forth, as it has made development a real pain for iOS. In the AIR SDK 4.0 this worked fine. According to the new method, we are supposed to use an environment variable to control which simulator we want to debug in, but this does not work either when multiple iOS SDKs are installed. If this can be controlled by an environment variable, then why can't it be controlled by a command line option to adt? That would be a much more robust solution versus having to change your OS's environment every time you need to switch simulators.
Any response from development on why it is this way now?

Thanks for reporting the issue.
At our end there is no problem when there are multiple iOS SDKs. We used the following commands:
Package App :
adt -package -target ipa-test-interpreter-simulator -storetype <type> -keystore < Certificates > -storepass < password > <.ipa> <.xml> <swf> -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/S DKs/iPhoneSimulator8.0.sdk/
Install App :
adt -installApp -platform ios -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/S DKs/iPhoneSimulator8.0.sdk -device ios-simulator -package < ipa >
Launch App :
adt -launchApp -platform ios -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/S DKs/iPhoneSimulator8.0.sdk -device ios-simulator -appid <APP ID>
Could you please share the adt packaging, install and launch commands?
P.S: In case you are using SDK path as: -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/S DKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk,
kindly use the SDK path containing the SDK version eg, If you want to use iOS 8.0 simulator use -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/S DKs/iPhoneSimulator8.0.sdk and in case you want to use iOS 7.1 simulator use -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/S DKs/iPhoneSimulator7.1.sdk

On 64bit iOS 8.1 simulator, Why BOOL type function return a unexpected value?

Code example:
------func.h------
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface func ： NSObject
+ (id)instance;
@end
------func.m------
#import "func.h"
@implementation func
+ (id)instance
     static func *obj = nil;
     if (obj == nil) {
          obj = [func new];
     return obj;
- (BOOL)test
     return YES;
@end
I created a new class "func" in project as above shown, set the project compile scheme to "release" mode.
I found that if I call [func test] method from another class, its return value is not "1" on iPhone6 simulator, it is a random value. Why?
PS: I can not find this problem on iPhone6 device, it seems only happen on 64 bit simulator. Why?

Your main problem as etresoft points out, is that your trying to use -test as a class method, you'll need to declare it as:
+test { ... }
for this to work. -test and +test are two different kinds of methods, -test needs a instance of 'func' to work:
func *f = [[func alloc] init]; // create instance f of func
[f test]; // calls -test, -test can use f as self
while +test needs a class (name):
[func test]; // calls +test
Class methods are mainly used for creating/initiating instances of a class, the +init method is a typical example of this, other uses are are for utility methods that may not really be tied to a specific object (class instance). Also note that a class method doesn't have access to self as it wasn't called on an object, so data will need to be passed in via parameters or by using global variables.
===============
dispatch_once() is the recommended way to do singletons, although the above will typically work assuming that its not accessed by multiple threads, e.g. is only used on the main thread.
===============
This page http://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/bools-sharp-corners/ appears to relate to etrsofts dislike for BOOL (the standard boolean type of Objective-C) and his preference for bool (the C++ variant), but as the page mentions: "Update October 2013 - On 64-bit iOS (device and simulator) BOOL is now actually bool, so the sharp corners have thankfully gone away for that platform. For everything else, though…"

Obtain width and height in device central?

I'm using device Central with Flash CS5.
How do I obtain the width and height of the device being simulated?
I need to write some special code to handle screen size in device central - as my application is already able to obtain the screen dimensions when run on a real device.

I need to know if this is possible, too!
Hopefully this is working somehow.
Thanks

Switch Executive with SCXI "an error occurred while attempting to access device"

I get "an error occurred while attempting to access device" when trying to validate or use the test panel for my current configuration:
PXI-1010 (PXI/SCXI combo chassis)
PXI-4060 in the PXI rightmost slot
SCXI-1129 in slot 1 of the SCXI portion
Clean install of all NI software (2012 DS1 developer suite) and a reset of MAX configuration data after not getting this resolved previously.
Because the SCXI-1129 is being controlled by the 4060 (legacy), I can't use DAQmx in NISE 3.5. So I'm stuck with IVI. I've configured everything in IVI so that I can at least add my device (SCXI_1129) into a new NISE virtual device. But when I go to validate or make a connection in the test panel within NISE, I get the above error.
Am I configuring something incorrectly?

Frank,
Thanks for continuing to look at this issue. Here are my responses to your questions.
1) You get an error when your driver setup string in in the General tab of your Driver Sessions is "1129/2-Wire Quad 4x16 Matrix"? Are you using a
PXI-4060 in the right-most slot of a combo chassis. If you're using a DAQmx device, it's a whole different ball game. If you're not using a PXI-1010
combo chassis, it's a different story too.
2) I can't seem to find a way to cleanly export my IVI configuration files. Even the VI you wrote (Programmatically Export All Virtual Devices & IVI
Configurations for NI Switch Executive) didn't copy the IviConfigurationStore files. So I manually copied them over and attached them. When I create
my driver session, I type 3 things: the topology ("1129/2-Wire Quad 4x16 Matrix") in the driver setup string, "SCXI-1129" and "SCXI1::1" in the
hardware tab (It would be "SCXI0::1" if the dip switches on the PXI-1010 were set to address 0, which is the default), and niSwitch in the software
tab for the software module.
3) The error I'm getting is the name of the post. "An error occurred while attempting to access device". It get this when validating my NISE virtual
device when simulation is not checked. It's also peachy-keen for me when I simulate.
4) See the screenshot.
5) Production line down is par for the course for this lab due to how many people have messed with this station in an effort to bandage it over the
years to keep product flowing. Long story, but there has one problem after another on this machine for a while with no owner. I'm now responsible for the automated tests on it. I'm adding new devices because I'm essentially starting from scratch so I know what's going on and can trust it. But apparently I'm either getting the same error they had before or it's a new one. I suspect it's the same one but it "used to work". I had another coworking here yesterday and he opened a phone SR, gave the information, and was told they'd get back to him. I haven't heard anything yet.
