This thread saved us a lot of (further) heartache trying to generate a disconnected license! When I go to "NI License Manager" and click "Display Computer Information", the License Manager crashes. That command line utility was able to spit out my 16 digit ID and give us the info we needed to activate my dev suite.
In the future, if you are reading this... never hesitate to update old threads with helpful information!
Thanks,

Comiucation computer usb with labview

Hi
I want to communicate us computer with labviwe but I don't know how can I do it?
Can you tell me please how can I communicate between computer usb and labview?
Thanks you .

The USB interface on the pcb has to be implemented by something. Do you have a microcontroller, or something like that? If you don't know much about USB communication, then this will be very difficult for you. In addition to the KB article I mentioned before, it would be worth your time to read this nugget: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=340676.
If you haven't implemented anything yet in hardware, you may want to consider chips like those sold by FTDI which can provide a virtual COM (serial) port interface for applications via their drivers.

Get-WmiObject to remote computer fails with "rpc server is unavailable" and vice versa "Access denied"

Hi
Still learning PowerShell remoting.
Can access with remoting 2 computers (XPProf/SP3, Workgroup) perfect. Powershell2.0 (running as Administrator).
Using Firewall ZoneAlarm not Windows Firewall (stopped).
But when using Get-WMIObject always run into
"rpc server is unavailable" in one direction and "Access denied" in the other direction.
Searched the forum but didnt find infos.
Switched off Firewalls: Still the same.
So I'm stuck.
Any help is appreciated.

Yo encontré estas recomendaciones que me sirvieron para poder consultar el servidor remoto.
http://www.poweradmin.com/help/enablewmi.aspx
Allow WMI through Windows firewall
All users (including non-administrators) are able to query/read WMI data on the local computer.
For reading WMI data on a remote server, a connection needs to be made from your management computer (where our monitoring software is installed) to the server that you're monitoring (the target server). If the target server is running Windows Firewall (aka
Internet Connection Firewall) like what is shipped with Windows XP and Windows 2003, then you need to tell it to let remote WMI requests through<sup style="margin:0px;padding:0px;list-style:none;">2</sup>. This can only be done at the
command prompt. Run the following on the target computer if it is running a Windows firewall:
netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable
Como segunda opcion tambien se puede modificar el group policy y especificar que ips tendran acceso a consultar el WMI remotamente.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738900(v=ws.10).aspx
Using Group Policy
To enable or disable the Remote administration exception
Open the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in to edit the Group Policy object (GPO) that is used to manage Windows Firewall settings in your organization.
Open Computer Configuration, open Administrative Templates, open Network, open Network Connections, open Windows
Firewall, and then open either Domain Profile or Standard Profile, depending on which profile you want to configure.
In the details pane, double-click Windows Firewall: Allow remote administration exception.
In the Windows Firewall: Allow remote administration exception properties dialog box, on the Settings tab, click Enabled or Disabled.

Can the license manager load the computer-based license first, instead of the user-based license?

We have several machines in the lab with computer-based licenses on them and a number of techs with user-based licenses. When a tech needs to occassionally sign in as themselves, instead of the generic service account, the license manager attaches the machine to their user account. Not a problem until they try logging in to LabVIEW from their own PC again and they get the 14 day trial period notice.
Is there a way to have the license manager look for the computer license first instead of the user license?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Joe,
In the license file hosted on the license server, you may be able to manually change the "sort" tag in the file to modify the order in which VLM checks out licenses. Licenses are checked out in descending order (2, then 3, then 4, etc.). Typically, your license file is set up in a default order, but in special cases such as this, it may be beneficial to alter the order. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the license file with a text editor (such as Notepad)
2. Search for the "sort" tag. For instance, the "VLM_Core" entry will have a sort tag value will appear as "sort=first". Do not alter this value. VLM_Core should always be first.
3. Change the sort tag value for the named-computer license to a value that is lower than the sort tag value for the named-user license. (e.g. "sort=2" for named-computer and "sort=3" for named-user).
4. Save the file and reinstall the license.
Let me know if you have any questions!

What could change the Computer ID used for the licenses in NI License Manager?

at our customer site we originally set up our software which uses the Vision Run-Time and Vision Acquisition Software. We purchased a license for the PC and it was installed. It has been running since July. but today the customer started getting errors asking for the license. using NI license manager we see "Status: Activated for a different computer"
looking further we now see a different "Computer ID" code I have original screen shots of when I originally applied the license so I know the Computer ID was not a typo.
The customer says no one has swapped out the PC's, but is currently looking to see if any other work was done.
Has anyone expirenced this before?

I hope your problem was solved by now.
If not, is your customer using any VPN software?
VPN software creates virtual MAC address, and somehow NI License Manager will use that for computer ID.
A known case is that VPN software by Juniper Networks will randomly create a virtual MAC address
every time the computer reboots. This will screw up NI License Manager because the computer ID will be different every time
computer reboots.
A workaround is to ask NI for an activation code based on computer ID that is generated from your hard drive.
With this, unless you change your harddriver or format it, it will keep the same computer ID.
That is exactly what my problem was. I ended up getting a computer ID based on the harddrive. The thing is that when performing the "automated" activation, it uses the computer ID from the MAC address. So I have to activate over email, change the file so that it uses my harddrive based computer ID, send it, apply the received codes. It is kind of a pain, but not that bad.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Signal Express not activated with Labview Full Development System Volume License

I'm using a volume license manager to generate license for disconnected machines. I just upgraded to Labview 2009. The license files work for labview but are not working for signal express. I have the Labview full development system which included signal express in the past. Both labview and signal express work fine on my computer that also has the volume licensing manager software installed. This computer is connected to the license server. I need to get signal express activated on my disconnected machines.

LabVIEW Full Development licenses still include Signal Express. Are you saying that whenever you are connected to the server you can run Signal Express just fine, but whenever you create a disconnected license Signal Express is not able to launch? Can you verify that you are, in fact, checking a license out from the server whenever you are connected to the network?
If you still have trouble I would recommend calling NI support so we could get more informatioin (such as your license file, contract ID, etc).

Is it possible to get 2-ch signals from TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time with LabVIEW "7.0"?

Hi, everyone.
I've been trying to get the signals from 2-ch of Tektronix TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time using IVI connection with LabVIEW "7.0"
I've already searched this developer zone for the answer.
I've tried the famous example: "IviScope - Acq Dual Wfm Edge Triggered.vi"
and it gave me the error message like:
Error -1074110451 occurred at IviScope Initialize With Options.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) The Config Server module is not present on the system.
I think I've installed all~ the required softwares for IVI. For example, ICP 2.2, IVI engine 2.0.46, and tktds1k2k ivi (instrument driver for tds2012, in fact this one is for LabVIEW "7.1"... :-P)
TDS2012 and my computer is connected through HPIB(GPIB) and it is shown on the MAX (a GPIB instrument as well as an IVI hardware asset)
I've tried GPIB connection but it gives me asynchronous signals...
Is it possible to get 2 signals at the same time with LabVIEW 7.0(not 7.1 or higher) by any means?
What in the earth is the "Config Server" in this case?
I don't need to sticking to IVI and any method to achieve my goal will be welcome.
Could anyone give me the hint for this problem, plz?

I think your problem is that the instrument specific driver is version 7.1 and you are using the class driver with 7.0. You can create your own 7.0 driver by downloading the LabWindows driver and using the Import CVI Instrument Driver under the Tools>Instrumentation menu.
Since you don't seem to have a good reason to use IVI, why don't you try the native LabVIEW driver at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9139659CE034080020E748.... I believe you have all of the functions to setup each channel and then when you trigger the scope, both channels will be captured. You would then transfer each waveform separately. The data is always read sequentially but that's not important as long as both channels are triggered at the same time.

Error, in Getting started with Labview. Chapter 3, part 4.

Hi.
Still struggling on, trying to find the time to work through the "Getting Started with LabVIEW" document.
Only 19 days left to go, and I'm still only in chapter 3!...
Right. In the "Saving Data When Prompted by a User" exersise, part 4...
4.   Right-click the Signals input of the Write To Measurement File
      Express VI and select Insert Input/Output from the shortcut menu to
      insert the Comment input.
Problem is, that option is greyed out, so not available!...
I did what the instructions said, I right clicked on the "Signals" input, and it doesnt do what it says on the tin!
Any pointers?   Please don't mention search the help, I've crashed the entire LV environment 3 times now, trying to search for something in there. It's OK if it finds someting, but it seems to bomb at times, when there is some ambiguity when searching.
Also, I won't be able to do anyting with any replies for a day or two, as I have to go up country to a customer, and mess about with hot oil, high volts, and lots of RF. It never ends.   (I've still got the day job to do, while trying to fight my way through this "evaluation". 30 days of "Use" would be better, than 30 calendar days for some of us.)

OK... Who let the smoke out?

Hi Dennis, and everyone else..
That is not how it looks when first dropped on the BD. On my machine, it is partialy expanded by default, after you clear the Configure dialog that pops up ocupying most of the screen.
Again, if it makes a difference to the way the Right Click shortcut menu works, it should be documented in the Getting Started document, especialy as it seems to be a critical point.
OK, explain this...
I've just rubbed out the save to file VI, cleaned up the broken wires etc, and then planted a new one on the BD. Once I cleared the Configure dialog that covers up most of the screen before you see it the first time, the VI was partialy expanded. I forget the exact list, but "Signals" was not at the top.
I did *EXACTLY* the same again, deleted it, cleaned up, and then planted a fresh new one. That DID appear that time with nothing but the "Signals" item showing, and two down caretts below that, indicating more items.
So......
Why the different behaviour each time, on the same BD, in the same session. Some underlying working data not being correctly initialised when invoked? Of course, that never happens, right? ('C' programmes eh?)
Trying some more, it seems the behaviour loosley depends on just how close to the edge of the While loop grey border you place it.   Odd.   I have a 1280x800 screen to play with, and a 1280x1024 second screen I use for the Getting Started document. That is the absolute maximum I can have, due to hardware limits.
I also find, that if you fully expand the "Write to Measurement File" VI block, then fully collapse it, then expand it again, all the items in that list have changed places! Why?
I had noticed earlier that there is no uniformity in the layout of even the items common to many if not all VI blocks (error in, and error out to name but two) Sometimes one is above the other, sometimes the other way round, sometimes they are not even ajacent to each other. Has that been done as a source of minor ammusement or something?
Talking to another colegue here, who just wandered in to see how I was getting on with this. Seems he also has tried the introductory entry into LV (V8.something) in the past. But he too, found too many things that behaved differently from one time to another, so abandoned it as a lost cause, then decided to learn how to use Visual Basic with NI-GPIB IO instead.   Not without issues either he said, but at least it all behaves exactly the same, each and every time.
End of the day now...
Regards.

Problems getting started with LabVIEW FPGA

Two (probably) related questions:
1. I am trying to get started with LabVIEW FPGA, and I am having trouble using a host VI to test my FPGA VI. I started with a basic QAM modulator VI, to be run on the FPGA, and I have reached the point where I need to verify the logic and timing with this VI running on the development computer with simulated IO. I have tried various combinations of putting the code inside single-cycle timed loops vs not; putting the modulator block directly into the host VI, and using the "FPGA reference" block. When neither the host VI nor the modulator VI use a single-cycle timed loop, I see correct behavior. In every other case, the output of the VI is either absent or incorrect. I need to use a single-cycle timed loop in the FPGA VI to properly verify timing behavior (as far as I know), so the one functioning case is not enough for me.
I'm sure there is a key step I'm missing or misunderstanding, but I have not been able to figure it out myself yet. I've attached my modulator diagram as well as two different attempts at host VIs. I can share other information, but I'm not sure what is most relevant.
2. I am also trying to test a simple wrapper VI for the Xilinx FFT block, and I am having trouble accessing FIFOs inside the host VI. I thought this would be relatively straightforward, but when I tried to change the "method" on an "invoke method" block, there were no options for accessing FIFOs, as I understood there should be. This is a total roadblock for me. These two diagrams are also attached, the test diagram shows the options available to me for the "invoke method" block.
Labview 2013, PXIe-7965R, PXIe-8133 controller.
I had to combine the diagram images; in case they are hard to follow this way, see the individual images here: http://imgur.com/a/oB6OD .
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello Monguin61
If you are having problems reading from DMA FIFO's you should test them using a very simple code to understand their behavior. First, you could start taking a look to the linked documents:
Reading DMA FIFOs from Host VIs (FPGA Interface)
Using DMA FIFO to Develop High-Speed Data Acquisition Applications for Reconfigurable I/O Devices
FIFO.Read (Invoke Method)
Then you could test and analyze a simple example to understand how it works, for example this one: Simple DMA FIFO Example for FPGA.
Check the references when you are using DMA FIFO's, I noticed you did not connect them in the second picture attached.

familiar with its operation?

That's what I was afraid of. I was looking for something to manage labview
full development licenses running on a number of machines. Thanks.

BSOD with labview 2009 sp1 on windows xp on dual core intel computer stop code F4

I have 14 test stations with the Labview runtime engine installed. These stations run 24 hours a day, or are supposed to, Every week, on average, one of the computers gets a blue screen of death, with a stop code of F4. It seems fairly random which computer it is.
Some other details:
Labview version 2009 sp1, and visa 5.02 installed
The computers are brand new Intel D510MO computers, with wester digital solid state hard drives. (Fanless)
XP service pack 3.
The computers aren't overheating, The ram is good, to power is stable and filtered.
The computers seem to run fine without ni software installed.
The only other thing installed is a serial port driver for a usb serial port converted.
We've caught one blue screen with no Labview executable running.
I've run a batch to turn off all non-essential Labview services, but it still seems to happen.
I've been working this problem for months. Any ideas?

If I am reading this correctly you have ruled out your LabVIEW program as the cause and you think it is one of the non-essential services. Which ones are still running?
Have you looked in the Windows error logs?
