DSC TAG ENGINE doesn't run after using eval copy of LabView

I used an eval copy of LabView.
I uninstalled this eval copy and I bought and installed the full NI Developer Suite.
Now Labview 6i (6.0) works properly but I'm unable to use DSC because the Tag Engine stops immediately with this message: "This evaluation copy of Labview has expired. Engine will close".
I'm using a Pentium III PC 128Mb RAM Win98 italian version.

Hi Silvano,
I found a similar case from another customer. Nationl Instruments is aware of this issue. But the only workaround for now would be (propre version):
1) uninstall LabVIEW DSC and LabVIEW
2) delete the registry key from the old LabVIEW eval version with regedit.exe.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments\LabVIEW\lvedid]
3) reinstall LabVIEW and LabVIEW DSC
(short version)
1) Rename lvedid in the:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments\LabVIEW\lvedid] to e.g. ..\LabVIEW\1lvedid
Hope this helps
Roland

  • WIll using a multiprocessor system improve DSC Tag Engine performance?

    We are developing a multiple workstation vacuum chamber automation control application using the DSC.
    The chambers under control each have a set of process controllers (Opto22 "Ultimate Brains") running the fundamental interlock and process mechanisms via their own software. The brains are set up for communication via OPC, thus LabVIEW can monitor the IO states of the system as well as variable values in the brain software via DSC tags. In addition, LV can manipulate variables to make requests that the brain software branch to different subroutines. The other ("control") workstations in the system pass requests to the brains via the software on the monitoring workstation, so as to ensure that requests are enqueued properly.
    The problem is at this point there are 1300 tags configured for the DSC, and the workstation responsible for monitoring them shows near 100% CPU load all the time; most of that taken by the DSC Engine. This is with only half of the final project's chambers installed and active. As a result, it sometimes takes several attempts for a control workstation to successfully pass a request to the brains via the monitoring workstation.
    We are concerned that performance will only worsen as we bring the additional chambers online.
    Would adding a second processor to the workstation improve performance? If dual processors would help, would additional processors help more?
    Note: we are examining which tags we monitor all the time and are going to try to reduce that list to those tags critical for normal operation, with an option to temporarily expand monitoring to the larger list for debugging purposes. I am concerned that even if that helps now, the problem will get worse again as we bring additional components on line. Is it the sheer number of tags defined for the DSC engine that gates the load on the engine, or the number that we are actively reading with our program?
    Thanks for any illumination you can offer.

    I have a partial answer. We've swapped in the dual processor machine and see some improvement. The processor load was still hovering around 100%, though.
    More importantly, we think we've learned something about how the DSC engine is actually working. The monitoring workstation not only runs the DSC engine to trade data with the other workstations, but an OPC server to handle transactions with the "brains". So any requests for data from the brains really are routed via the monitoring workstation.
    We had built one common tag database because we thought that would simplify programming. We did some tests today, however, and discovered that if we stop the tag engines on the control workstations, processor load drops dramatically on the monitoring workstation.
    What we've realized is that apparently if a read tag exists in a machine's database, the DSC fetches its value, regardless of whether our LabVIEW software ever actually uses the value. We deleted most of the brain tags from the control workstation databases, leaving only the LV memory tags and the few brain tags actually used by our vis. So now the monitoring workstation is not being asked to query those 1000 tags by 3 different tag engines, only by the one using it.
    CPU load is down to about 73% now (because the monitoring workstation is still itself watching those 1000 tags). That's still high, but we have a better idea what is going on.
    So -- is there any way to have the DSC engine only fetch a tag value when you really need it, rather than always fetching every tag in the database?

  • LV7.1 DSC tag engine VS LV8.6 DSC shared variables

    I'm currently running LV7.1 with DSC and RT. To handle communications and logging RT variables I'm using the init / read / write publish.vi's on the RT side and datasockets on the HMI side (Windows XP). This has worked out great - new tags can be programmatically created in real time with the publsih vi's and then I go to the the .scf file and use the tag configuration wizard to add them to my scf file and handle data logging. This worked very well - the wizard would organize all of the memory tags into folders by block name used by the init publish vi. I could also select entire groups of tags and add hundreds at a time to the .scf file. Hardware Tag also worked in a similar fashion, organizing tags by controller and module folders. Now - looking at LV8.6.I found I can still use the init / read / publish vi's on the RT side - great. However there is not tag configuration editor as in LV7.1 to let me add large numbers of tags through a wizard. The closest thing I've found is to create a library to represent each block name from the RT init publish.vi then use "create bound variables" option under the library to bind the new shared variables to the RT memory tags. I can browse to the tags on the controller by network items, but when I add them it doesn't bring the block name of the tag as it did in 7.1, only the item name. I use a lot of PID loops that share the same tag names (i.e.: P,I,D, mode, output), so not including the block name represents an organizational problem. The problem with this is, it's very labor intensive compared to the wizard in LV7.1 DSC, especially talking about creating systems with thousands of RT memory tags. Also, there is a similar problem with hardware channels (I'm using compact FieldPoint). To log channels via DSC do I have to create a shared variable for each channel to access the DSC logging capabilities? Again how do I add all of the hardware channels in some organized fashion? I hope I'm missing some tool that is an analog to the tag configuration wizard to bring in these channels and organize them. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,Brad

    Hi lb,
    We're glad to hear you're upgrading, but because there was a fundamental change in architecture since version 7.1, there will likely be some portions that require a rewrite. 
    The RTE needs to match the version of DSC your using.  Also, the tag architecture used in 7.1 is not compatible with the shared variable approach used in 2012.  Please see the KnowledgeBase article Do I Need to Upgrade My DSC Runtime Version After Upgrading the LabVIEW DSC Module?
    You will also need to convert from tags to shared variables.  The change from tags to shared variables took place in the transition to LabVIEW 8.  The KnowledgeBase Migrating from LabVIEW DSC 7.1 to 8.0 gives the process for changing from tags to shared variables. 
    Hope this gets you headed in the right direction.  Let us know if you have more questions.
    Thanks,

  • Page rendering process doesn't run after validation error

    I have a page rendering process (On Load - After Regions) that needs to be run for my page to be rendered properly; however, it doesn't run when the page is rendered after a validation error. In debug mode, I see the following line:
    "0.05: ......do not perform process because inline validation condition found."
    Is this a bug? Validations are meant to prevent execution of On Submit processes, but is there a reason to also not run rendering processes?
    I need to dynamically construct some javascript and insert it somewhere after a certain item on the page. Is there a workaround?
    Thanks.
    Rodney

    Rodney,
    Let me see if I understand your question:
    1. A page is rendered
    2. The page is submitted
    3. A validation fires and fails
    4. The page is re-rendered displaying the validation error message
    5. Your on-load after regions process did not fire
    You want to run a process in all cases; in the standard page load case (1) and in the re-load case (4).
    You can do this by creating a region of type PL/SQL. You can give the region a null template so that it will not display any values. The region can be the last one displayed on the page; so that it will be run last.
    You also asked if it is a bug that the on-load after regions process did not fire; as the debug message indicates this is proper. Here is an example that illustrates why you typically don't want to perform processes when rendering a page after it was posted causing a validation to fire.
    Lets take the following example:
    1. create a form on the emp table; assume a salary column called "SAL"
    2. create a validation that says the salary must be numeric
    3. edit a row of the EMP table
    4. change the employee job from clerk to manager; and enter a "X" in the salary item
    5. submit the page
    6. the validation will fire; page processing will stop; and the page will be re-displayed
    7. the process which fetches the rows will not fire; and the page will be re-displayed; the job item will display the change from "clerk" to "manager" and salary will still contain the invalid "X" value. If the process had fired it would have replaced the values in the form.
    My recommendation is that you use regions for any processing that is UI releated. I hope this helps.

    Hi Anthony
    In the configtool (secure store) where you have changed the password there are two fields for password change (one for db and other for engine).You changed the password but your databse password is the earlier one .So first change the DB password because this is the password your instance uses to connect to DB and the same should be mentioned in the secure store of the configtool .If there is any mismatch you will face the problem which you are telling.
    Any issues feel free to ask.

  • DSC "tag engine" "unable to start the citadel 5 service" "unable to start the service"

    Hi, I don't know why, but I'm not able to start the

    To investigate the problem I wrote a nice program,
    perhaps it is of interest. And perhaps someone else
    had the problem and was able to find the reason for the
    problem. I also included screen shots of the error messages.
    I'm working with LV 7.1.1 (but the problem was there
    before upgrading from 7.1 to 7.1.1). I saved the example

    Hello,
    I am not sure, but this does sound like I had the same problem. I got the following reply:
    Take a look at:
    http://www.geocities.com/vamp201/jwsfaq.html
    --> 'Why can't I start Web Start's app manager under Windows? Why does the app manager's preferences dialog fail to appear? '
    This might be a proxy issue. Try to turn off your proxy by putting
    javaws.cfg.proxy.setting=NONE
    in your 'javaws.cfg' file and see if it Web Start's app manager shows up then.
    I have added the line mentioned above, and it worked fine. In addition I added the following line:
    javaws.cfg.jre.default=0
    Check this out and good luck!

  • Satellite A110-260 doesn't run after RAM upgrade

    A110-260 - 512 MB Ram - 533 MHZ - 100GB - BIOS V1.20 (2 years old)
    Hello,
    my first attempt to upgrade my RAM failed.
    After correct installation of 2 Kingston 1GB Ram (Typ: RMN 2-.800/1GB SO-Dimm DDR 2), my notebook didn't start again, only 5 short sounds (in owners manual: not the right extended memory).
    Curios: 1 Kingston 1 GB-Ram mixed with original Toshiba 512 MB-Ram, the notebook boots, but reaches only 896 MB extended memory. Performance not signifikant better.
    Who can help me ?
    Andi11

    Is that Kingston memory 800MHz? That laptop is designed for 533MHz Memory (PC4200). Usually the 800MHz Memory will bump down to 533MHz (probably using the SPD table), but there may be a compatibility problem.
    So ultimately you should buy 533MHz DDR2 Memory with similar CAS/RAS Timing as the original Toshiba Memory.
    Perhaps the second RAM slot is faulty? If you run CPU-Z, can it detect the second module correctly?
    Note that the Graphics card may use some System Memory as Video Memory, so it sounds like the laptop sees the 1GB Module but reserved 96MB for the graphics.

  • Reader X doesn't run fully, uses 25% CPU and hangs

    Whenever I click on a pdf, the Reader starts but it's running fully. It draws the toolbars but not the body. The background is still whatever app is behind it. CPU is about 25% and the Reader is not responding. It hangs. Another pdf reader from another vendor works fine. I installed the latest version.
    Using Windows 7 64 bit with SP1.

    I have had issues with Adobe Reader X hanging (not responding) due to a conflict between an antivirus program and the Adobe Reader X Protected Mode/Protected Viewer sandbox features.
    Adobe has a recent(2012-01-09)KB article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html entitled "Protected Mode troubleshooting". There is a similar article (2011-09-12) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/901/cpsid_90161.html entitled Protected View troubleshooting.
    khwajakhurram replied to my query suggesting unchecking the default Adobe Reader X Preferences >3D & Multimedia> "Enable hardware rendering for legacy video cards" setting and this solves the issues!
    What is surprising is that Adobe Reader X's 3D & Multimedia settings report that the alternative preferred renderer modes are either software or DirectX9 .....on a Vista machine with DirectX11.
    The video card on this machine is definitely not legacy but a recent quality Nvidia produced card. That is also the case on the other machines with the issue I have reported.
    I went a step further and I have found that performance is vastly improved by changing from the default preferred renderer mode of DirectX9 to the alternative Software setting. 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html mentions that "certain configurations of anti-virus software that have not yet white-listed AcroRd32.exe" are "Unsupported configurations for Reader running in Protected Mode". Therefore I have also excluded AcroRd32.exe from virus scanning.
    I am now able to use both Adobe Reader X's Protected Mode and Advanced Security without issue and performance is vastly improved. I am certain that your issues will also be improved.

  • Safari Bug: Look-up (dictionary) doesn't work after using Youtube on new 6.1 on mountain lion and the newest version for Mavericks

    One of sever glitches that led me to "downgrade" back to mountain lion.  However, wasn't thinking and updated safari to 6.1 and I now have the same problem.  It took me a while to figure out, but now it is completely reproducible.  When I visit youtube and watch a video.  Safari's look-up, the three finger tap dictionary shortcut, no longer works.  It just highlights the word momentarily but never completes the function.
    I'm going to restore my laptop again to factory setting and just not upgrade the software to the new Safari update. 
    The main issues/bugs I had with Mavericks, even after a clean install were:
    - pdf's very freezing while scrolling for a few seconds
    - frequent spinning pin wheels
    - other small random bugs I can't recall at the moment.

  • Qosmio F10 doesn't run after recovery procedure

    Hi, I have just purchased the toshiba recovery dvd for my qosmio f10 laptop, i put the dvd in and it goes through the recovery process and completes 100% it then tells me to remove the dvd and then press CTRL ALT DELETE to restart the computer.
    Upon doing so it gets to the screen were it tells me windows is starting then the screen goes blank and flickers a couple of times, then the laptop re-boots and keeps on doing this, I press the F8 key when it restarts to go into save mode, but when it goes into save mode it tells me that windows is not fully set and won't go any further and tells me that I need to run set up again.
    I do not have a windows cd only the dvd from toshiba which should put my laptop back to factory settings.
    Can aynone help me before I ring toshiba?
    thank you.

    Hi
    Its not easy to say why it happens. Usually the Toshiba recovery CD should works properly and after whole recovering procedure the notebook should run without any problems.
    You have suggested that you have ordered this recovery CD from the ASP.
    Did you get the right recovery CD? Check the CD description.
    The other possibility is that the unit has a hardware fault. In this case you should contact the Toshiba service. Sorry but this is all what I can suggest.

  • Ethernet doesn't work after using wifi

    I was given a second hand computer (macbook pro 17'', 2 years old) by my boyfriend. I formatted the HD and installed mountain lion. I used the network settings facility to create a new location to use the ethernet at my university and it all works fine, except that when I unplug the cable and use wifi for a bit, when I try to reconnect to the ethernet by plugging the cable back in it won't work (even when I turn wifi off). I used to do this with my old computer (macbook pro 15'', 3 years old) without any issues.
    I tried using the "Assist me" option in the network settings and I see that the first three checks (Ethernet, Network Settings and ISP) are green, but the last two (Internet and Server) are red. So my internet doesn't work. If I go through the "diagnostics" it asks me to restart the internet devices, which I don't have access to. I then restart my computer and it works perfectly.
    I don't want to have to restart my computer every time I plug the ethernet cable back in. I need to do this a few times in a day because the proxy of the university blocks some things, so I use my wifi for those (eg, updating the packages in R).
    Does anyone know what the problem is?
