Having trouble with deploying real time 8.0 vi's

Question

Having trouble deploying a simple vi to my field point platform.  I am using  FP OS v10.4 and labview rt v8.0.  MAX tells me software installations to the target are good and communication in MAX is good.  I can make a windows VI to read a channel on  my field point and it works well. if I duplicate this VI in real time and try to deploy it to the field point unit, it goes well until it starts to download the "FP read" vi and then the download fails.  I have plenty of memory on the fieldpoint unit for this vi - it consists of a FP channel constant, FP read, numeric constant (for data type to FP read), a numeric indicator, a while loop, millisecond multiple vi (loop timing), and stop control.
I am stumped - any help would be great.

Answer 1

Kirk - what controller are you using?  Double check that the
controller has the following listed under Remote Systems >> (your
controller name) >> Software:
LabVIEW Real-Time 8.0
NI-VISA
FieldPoint VI Manager
FieldPoint Drivers 5.0
sebk1 - The Fieldpoint Read VI includes error handling, if an error
occurs it takes time to generate and propagate the error.  Check
to see if your data is out of range for the channel.  If that is
not the case, I suggest trying an example VI that includes a FP Read VI
such as Analog Input found at: C:\Program Files\National
Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\examples\FieldPoint\Getting Started\Analog
Input.vi if you installed to the default directory.  I'd be
interested to hear the results of your tests.
