How to run field point vi without the fieldpoint?

I'm running LV 7.1.  I'm writing a vi that uses compact fieldpoint modules for DAQ and control.  The system is located in another lab.  I'd really like to be able to work on the vi at my desktop, but of course not having the cFP connected makes that a problem, at least when I try to run the program.
Is there some sort of "dummy" mode for cFP that will let my system actually run the vi?  The cFP is on a private subnet, so I can't get to it over ethernet (although I guess I could try putting it on the public net).  I could replace all the cFP express vis, I guess, but that would be a real pain to swwitch back and forth.
Thanks, Rob

That is correct. There is no way to simulate a FieldPoint device. The suggested workaround should work well for you, however. Create some simulated VIs that perform the same task as the FieldPoint writes and reads (at least in terms of what inputs they accept or outputs they have), and place them in the other case in a Case Structure as the FieldPoint VIs.
LabVIEW 8 takes these possibilities one step further with Conditional Disable Structures and Diagram Disable Structures. The difference between these two structures and a Case Structure is that code in the disabled cases doesn't even compile. This means you could even have broken wires or broken subVIs inside the disabled case, and you'd still be able to run your program. In the case of this FieldPoint application, you could use a Conditional Disable Structure that automatically polls the target OS type (Windows, Linux, Pharlap ETS, etc) and selectively compiles one case based on the target OS. This would allow you to seamlessly run VIs on your computer and FieldPoint without modifying any code. The other advantage is that the simulated FieldPoint code wouldn't get compiled when you target your real FieldPoint device, so you wouldn't increase your code size or memory usage unnecessarily for the final product.

  • Fieldpoint - How to reconfigured Field point hardware configuration

    Respected Sir,
    We are using labview version 5.1, operating system windows 95, FiledPoint explorer 1.6,
    I would kindly request all to please help to solve how to reconfigured Field point hardware, I am new learner of labVIEW.
    When i run Fieldpoint explorer 1.6, in labview 5.1 operating WINDOWS 95 version, i received one command as
    A value return from the server is out of the expected range.
    The FieldPoint hardware ranges need to be re configured, so they match the ranges saved in the configuration file.
    Go to each device configuration dialog and select channel configuration to synchronize the saved configuration with the hardware configuration.
    Thanking You
    Yours faithfully

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Did you mean a Office or One Note?
    As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
    Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
    There you will find a options called Check for Updates

  • How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

    How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
    I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

    I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
    Read this from a site I found:
    Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
    On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
    Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
    If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

  • Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

    Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
    So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
    So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
    I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
    What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

    How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses?  I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's).  I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person.  Is that possible?

    Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account

  • How to configure field point cFP2120

    Hi,
         I am doing a project using LabVIEW... I am using field point cFP2120  as the interface... The problem is that my PC is not detecting the field point... Can you suggest a solution???

    Hi jaks,
       From the user manual:
    Number of Flashes        Error Condition
    0 (stays lit)                     The cFP-21xx did not power on correctly. Contact
                                           National Instruments for assistance.
    1                                     The cFP-21xx is in reset mode or is unconfigured. Make
                                           sure the RESET IP switch is in the OFF position and
                                           restart the controller. Refer to the Measurement &
                                           Automation Explorer Help for FieldPoint for more
                                           information about configuration.
    2                                     The cFP-21xx has detected an error in software. This
                                           usually occurs when an attempt to upgrade the software
                                           is interrupted. Repeat the software upgrade process.
    3                                     The cFP-21xx is in safe mode. Either the controller is
                                           ready for software installation or the SAFE MODE
                                           switch is in the ON position.
    4 (or more)                    The cFP-21xx has detected an unrecoverable error.
                                          Contact National Instruments for assistance.
    In which of these condition are you?  If you never configured that module, and led flashes once, you have the  correct start-up condition, but it is strange that you cannot access module; check if Windows Fierewall is turned ON or if Antivirus' firewall is ON, they can be blocking MAX in connecting to device!

    There is no other way. Without the correct credentials you won't be able to use it.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, Apple will not help unless you have the original receipt (but not from some 3rd party)

    Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.
