Fieldpoint embedded data logger and remote panels license (5)

Multiple use remote panels license (5) does not allow multiple access to cfp 2120 realtime embedded datalogger (all pc's on the same subnet).  Error message:"remote panel connection exceeds maximum number of licenses."  Licenses installed in ni-rt>system>share>licenses on the remote system?????????????????????????????

Hi, thanks for your help=) I've manage to drag the file into my targeted controller. I am now doing the setting of the data logger program, but there's one thing I'm unsure of. May I know what does it mean by the cFP controller clock? http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3219 . Thanks. =)
Log On Startup
 Start logging when the controller powers up.
Start Log Time
 The time to start logging.
Stop Log Time
The time to stop logging.
Note: Make sure the clock is set correctly on the controller. The settings described above refer to the cFP controller clock.
Log Rate
The number of milliseconds to wait between each acquisition.
FP Drive For Data Files
The drive to store the log files in. The C: drive is the default for all cFP controllers. If you want to save to the removable CompactFlash drive on the cFP controller, select the D: drive.
Digital "Pause" Line
The Digital Input item to use as a "pause" button for data logging. Logging pauses when the signal is high. When the signal goes low again, a new file is created and logging continues if appropriate.
Note: Use only Digital Input items for the Digital "Pause" Line.
Tip: You can use DIP Switch 3 to block the current data from being logged. This switch works the same way as the Digital "Pause" line.
Logging Session Tag
Is stamped on the spreadsheet that the data logger creates.

  • How to install "Compact FieldPoint Embedded Data Logger Example Program" on cfp2200

    i finally managed to get max to see the devices of my cfp2200.
    (i had to disable every unused networkadapter due to overlapping subnets)
    now i want to deploy the example programm "Compact FieldPoint Embedded Data Logger Example Program"
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3221
    i therefor have tried to install the runtime 8.5 on the target. however this is not possble, because i have labview 2010 installed and it gives the message:
    "the host has a newer version available"
    ok. runtime 2010 should work to - not?
    i open a new project - import my *.iak-file and drag-n-drop the content of "cfp_data_logger_source.zip" onto the target.
    now if i open the file cFPEmbeddedDataLogger.vi the run-button is cracked and by pressing it an errorlist opens.
    the errors say stuff like:
    target does not support this function/subvi
    and
    vi has been modified with a different applicationinstance
    please help me to make this work.
    i know that it is possible to get the programm to run on the cfp2200 even dough it is primaly designed for the   cFP-2000, cFP-2010, cFP-2020, cFP-2100, cFP-2110,
    cFP-2120.
    big THANX already for you help !!!!!

  • LV2010 and cFP-2120 and remote panel

    I have a project in LV2010 for cFP-2220.  When I convert the project for a cFP-2120, the remote panel doesn't work.  When the browser goes to the IP address it defaults to 192.168.1.2/#Home.

    The remote panels and browser control work fine for the 2220. I inserted the 2120 into the project in place of the 2220 and modified the fieldpoint paths in the vis. I upgraded the software on the 2120 using LV 2010. The original program was written for the 2120 in earlier versions of LV. It was updated to LV 2010 and adapted for the 2220 along with program feature updates related to pumps and other necessary system component changes. Maintenance and support of our customers units involves replacing pumps and other components and/or replacing their 2120's. We are trying not having to replace their 2120's.
    When we deploy the program as a startup it runs controls and collects data, but the remote panel access with Internet Explorer isn't working. We have tried creating a new index.htm.

  • Embedded data logger gaps

    Hi all,
       it seems that the embedded data logger does not record gaps when the log trigger is triggered multiple times when recording on the same file.
    Is mine a correct assumption? I tried viewing the excel export and the TDMS viewer output and there is no trace of the "missing" data.
    If I try recording 10 minutes and strop the log for 2 minutes I get a solid file which shows 8 minutes of recording with no gaps. Does the TDMS format support gaps such that a custom TDMS exctraction tool can show the gaps (implying a limit on  the TDMS viewer that ship with VeriStand 2011)?

    The embedded data logger does not log gaps as you noticed. There are two possible approaches that can help you organize your data:
    1. Timestamp your file names. Whenever you want to enable logging again, set th Log File Command channel to 1 to open a new file instance. Then set the Log Status channel to 1 to start logging in the new file. This way every file has only contiguous data.
    2. Log a Timestamp channel such as System Time in every channel group. Then your data becomes xy data, and you should be able to plot it as such in Excel.

  • VeriStand 2013 Embedded Data Logger with cRIO 9024

    I am using VeriStand 2013 with the Embedded Data Logger on a cRIO 9024.  I have noticed that when I first deploy after a complete power cycle, the embedded logger works great - responding immediately to a change in the Log Trigger value.  However,  If I undeploy and then redeploy the project, the embedded data logger appear to casue issues in the communication between the target and the host.  The first symptom of this is that the indicators on the workspace appear to begin to lag significantly.  The also affect the response of the boolean control that I have for the log trigger which now will not actually turn off when pushed but will rather only respond many seconds or minutes later.  When this happens, the log files are also much longer than the intended period.
    This problem only gets worse with further undeploy and reploys.  However, when I power cycle the cRIO, the net time i open the workspace everything is working great again with no delays. 
    Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?

    Hello Aaron_Smith,
    Are you writing to a single file each time? If so then the issue could arise from the file size and the file needing to be loaded into memory each time your redeploy. Try to run the system so that it writes to different files. Also, what is the status of the memory and CPU usage of the device while the application is deployed? Please verify that you are not maxing out the processor or memory as this causes network issues that could result in behavior of this type. Also, would it be possible for you to post a simple example that exhibits the same issue? Please include all files that are necessary to run the system definition.

  • TCP communication and Remote Panel programming

    Hi all:
    I am developing a LabVIEW program which is to used remotely. I am planning on using Remote Panel Access or TCP Communication for my application. I would like to know why is a better choice and what are the factors I should consider in choosing one of these. Jsut for information, I am also using serial communication in this program using RS232 cable.
    Thanks in advance,

    I am not sure what the legal aspects are for the Run Time Engine.  You will have to dig deeper or contact NI if it will not let you load it.  From what I read is:
    Additionally, the Run-Time Engine allows your browser to display VIs that are embedded in Web pages.  There are two downloads that are available. You only need to install one of them. LVRunTimeEng.exe is a smaller download intended when viewing Remote Front Panels in Web pages. It does not contain the full run-time engine, but will allow some executables to run..............
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/1F1EBEA6D03A67E6862570A400531F97?opendocument&node=13205...
    Yes, you can have an executable and that would be the preferred method.  Start small and work up to the final version.  Start by using your developer version and have it generate the WEB page.  Using the same computer you can view the page and take control using Microsoft Internet Express.  From there build it into an application, try it again.  When all looks good then put it on the server.  You are limited by licenses on how many WEB pages you can have running.
    Hope this helps,

  • VI Templates and Remote Panels

    My system creates multiple test windows using a dynamic load of a VI template, and I wish to have Remote Panel access to each of these test windows. The user does not need to instantiate the windows remotely, only access them. So, when each window is created, it creates it's own HTML file so a user can access it. It worked just great for .snap publishing -- so far, so good.
    However, my VI template is a little unusual, because within it there are other VI-template subVIs. I do this because I make use of LV2 global variables (acts as a passive G object with it's own data space), and each window has it's own local copy of that template subVI.
    Now when I try to access the Remote Panel on my instantiated test window, I get an error like this "The VI named 'Test Window 1.vi' contains unsaved untitled subVIs. Cannot save the VI before all its untitled subVIs are committed to the disk'. This error indicates that my template-subVI instantiations need to be saved in order for the Remote Panel to work. I'm not sure why this is a requirement, but let's go along with it for now.
    So I went ahead and used a VI server method to save the untitled subVI instantiations to a temporary directory, with the intention of deleting them when the test window is closed. It worked! Kind of... it worked in development mode, but didn't work when I built the executable. The executable gives me error 1043: "Not supported in this version" when it tries to save the untitled subVIs (even though I specify to save WITHOUT the block diagram, which obviously isn't there).
    Is there a way out of this quandry?
    Thanks for your help,
    David Moerman
    TruView Technology Integration Ltd.

    Hello again everybody,
    Sorry I have to re-submit my post. I found a bug in my demo (where the VI name referenced in the HTML did not match the running window). Also, I made it to dynamically set up the web server path, to make it easier on you.
    BTW, this is in LV 7.0. And a warning: this problem is not for the faint-of-heart. I somewhat doubt there is a solution without NI changing how Remote Panels works.
    Again, my apologies for the previous bug.

  • Dynamic VIs and Remote Panels

    I am completing an application with LabVIEW 6.0.2. The application will be distributed as a stand-alone executable.
    Now I wonder if it is worth upgrading the software to LabVIEW 6.1 in order to allow the users remotely interact with the software by means of the "remote panels" feature. In the past I tested the built-in Web Server functionality of LabVIEW but I found it too "static" with a lack of support for dialog boxes coming from dynamically loaded VIs.
    Does anyone know if the new "remote panels" feature allows a real control of the remote program even when there are dynamic VIs?
    Are there licensing restrictions for the single connection provided with LabVIEW 6.1? Hundreds of users may install and run my application.
    Thank you
    in advance!

    Hi again,
    I attach an example that shows how to use remote panels feature.
    The Grafico.vi loads dinamically Sub-vi.vi for an easy task. This can be controlled by a remote client. I also attach the html file working for my server, you should edit it and change the server name (mine is K1000) to get it work. You will also find a document about the sintax for creating html files for LV Web Server.
    Feel free to ask any further information,
    Alberto

  • Data logger and online processing application

    Dear All
    My application should include both data logging and online processing threads which are synchronized. I already implemented that by means of something we call "Ring buffer" which is an array containing the data and when the data stream reach its end it start over again from first index. It works almost well but sometimes it seems that my "timed loop" which is my processing thread is a little bit ahead of my data logger thread and it makes some distortion on data stream in processing thread but of course not in data logger.
    Since this type of application is very classic, we should have a kind of general prototype (example) for its implementation which provides fully synchronization between processing and logger threads so I was wondering if somebody knows where I should look into?
    Best regards
    Afshin

    Hello Afshin,
    Have a look at Software Circular Buffer in LabVIEW and Software Circular Buffer Reference Library for Multi-Channel Data Acquisition.
    The latter comes with an example.

  • Labview 2010 SP1 - How to install just the labVIEW and remote panel

    Hi all
    I am currently using a licensed version of LabVIEW 2010 SP1. It came up with 6 to 7 DVD’s each of them containing around 5 GB of data. Installing all these stuffs eats up around 30 GB of ma C drive.
    My project just deals with 2 EPOS controllers controlling 2 of maxon EC motors and these 2 EPOS controllers are communicating via USB port with the client PC. This client PC have to be monitored and controlled remotely by host PC containing the same LabVIEW version.
    To do this, do I have to install all of these 7 DVD’s or just enough to download the “LabVIEW for education 2010 SP1” from the NI website, available in the below link “http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/n8:28,ssnavdl/”
    Awaiting for your reply  friends.

    hi,
    i am working on creating a GUI.vi to read data from the datalogger and the same should be used to set the date ,time,etc.i am thinking of using VISA to read data through serial port(COM1),that interface is available.but when i tried to read data from the logger i am getting timeout error.what should i do ?i am using the example given with labview 7.0 .can any one suggest me what all things i need to do if i want to read datalogger to a file.Is there any one who workrd on this.please reply me as early as possible,
    bye
    vbkraju

    You're welcome--I'm happy to help.
    The LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi is a good example that allows for writing commands to an instrument and reading back from it using a VISA Session. One of the inputs on this VI is the Resource Name. You need to ensure that the name of your serial port is in this drop down menu, so that the program is sending and receiving data from the correct place.
    The VI is setup so that you can send a command to the external device, and then receive data back. I am not sure about the Spectrum 4000, but most devices have commands that they receive to tell the device which data to send back over the serial port. The VI has a default string to write of *IDN?, which is a common command that tells the instrument to return an ident
    ity string. The fact that the program is timing out for you indicates that the program never received any data from the device. Either the device is not configured to automatically send data, or the correct command is not being sent to the device. Your datalogger manual may be able to help you determine what serial commands it needs to receive to send the data out you expect.
    I hope this will get you further along in your application.

  • Real-time 8.6 Remote panel connection exceeds max number of licenses- with no connection​s

    I've been using the remote panel right along with no problems to connect to my Compact Fieldpoint.  This morning I accidently opened the connection twice on the same computer and tripped the "Remote panel connection exceeds max number of licenses" error.  Now it will not let me connect anymore from my computer.  I've tried clearing cookies, cache and history in Internet Explorer and rebooting my computer.  I've fired up the Remote Panel Connection Manager which shows no connections, and the NI License Information window does not show any connections which have been denied due to max # of clients being exceeded.  Is there a way to reset this without having to reboot my RT controller?  I'm running RT8.6 and LV 8.6 Full Dev System and understanding that it should come with 1 remote panel license. 
    Thanks

    The boss wanted to see an updated feature, so I was forced to deploy a new version and reboot.  Problem went away as I suspected it would. 
    I did manage to make the same mistake again this morning (launch the remote panel in 2 different MSIE windows) and after closing them both I could reconnect.  Must be a glitch or a bug?  It'd be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem.  For now...solved, but it would be nice to see a way to fix this without rebooting.

  • Remote Panels and LabVIEW 2009

    Hello,
    I have updated my real-time PXI application to LabVIEW 2009 (Pro)  and I'm now trying to connect to it with remote planels.  I can only have one remote panel opened.  The second one gives me the "Remote Panels connection exceeds maximum numbers of licences"  The problem wasn't occuring in LabVIEW 8.5 and I have the remote panel license (unlimited) is actived in the license manager.
    How this can be resolved?
    Regards,
    Patrick
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Have you transfered the license files to the controller since the switch to 2009?  There should be a .lic file under ni-rt>>system>>shared>>licenses on the controller.  Is that present on your system?

  • LabVIEW Real-Time and Remote Front Panel MemoryManager.cpp line 437 error

    Hi all,
    I'm using a smartcamera (NI 1742) with LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6.
    When I look at the Front Panel with the web browser and I close the browser or I Stop the executable, I always get this error: MemoryManager.cpp line 437. I've checked if someone else had this error, but I guess I'm the only person who got this error. I saw someone who had the MemoryManager.cpp line 406, but mine isn't on this line.
    The application works well, but when I got the error, I need to reboot the smartcam to get it works. In my application, I use the Modbus library and I read/write binary file in the hard disk of the smartcam....
    Anyone knows the solution?
    Thank you very much
    Stephanie

    Hi again,
    Still didn't find the problem on my side. Here's a picture of my code. If I put the code surrended in red at place (1), I don't get the error, but if I put the code at place (2), I get the error. Why oh why....?
    I get the error when I close the browser or click Back button of the browser or Stop the application with the red dot or stop the application with the Quit button on my front panel.
    This morning I found a post on this forum about getting an error using Property node and Remote panel (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=252705). I did what they suggest: wire the property output to an indicator and it works (disable "Enable automatic error handling dialod" didn't work... I don't know why)... until I put extra code in my VI. 
    I really need help please!
    Thank you

  • Can multiple PCs access one remote panel at the same time?

    I've written a program in labview 7.1 to monitor/control a labview application running in the test cell through Remote Panel. I and my coworker can remotely monitor and/or control this labview application individually. But if my coworker has the remote panel displayed on his PC and I try to get the remote panel on my PC, I get a labview error (63) as below:
    "LabVIEW:  Serial port receive buffer overflow.
    LabVIEW:  The network connection was refused by the server."
    My question is: Can multiple PCs access one remote panel at the same time?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry I wasn't clear. The remote panel license is separate from the number of LabVIEW development licenses. Pricing information on remote panel licenses can be found here.
