Imaging a Touch Panel Computer (NI TPC-2206) Compact Flash Drive

Hi
We are using NI TPC-2206 touch-panel computers running a pre-installed build of Windows Embbeded Standard 7.
What is the best configuration of software tool and hardware to image and replicate a NI TPC-2206s' Compact Flash drive?
We have got many TPC-2206 units, but one or two have become corrupt (we did not enable EWF before we started treating them roughly with powering off).
We have tried using an application called "Active Boot Disk" to image a CF-drive and apply it back, but it fails during boot. We found an NI article about this, but it recommends using Ghost which is no longer sold.
Is there a best configuration of imaging software and CF drive which anyone has tried and used, and know works?
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi
Yes, the CF drive boots fine. I made a boot image using Ghost and it went onto the other CF drive without any problems. The only thing I may not have preserved is the size of the partition. That seems to be variable from Ghost which defaults to the full capacity of the CF drive. I overrode this and set it to what I roughly calculated as half that capacity.
once the image was booted and I did some chores like emptying the recycle bin, changing the power options, etc., I opened a command window by right-clicking the cmd icon and selecting run-as-administrator. Its the only way to get ewfmgr to work. Just so you know I have been using ewfmgr this way for some time on the undamaged tpc's, without any problems.
Anyway, when I run ewfmgr it simply gives a one liner saying unable to find Ewf volume. If I do -help I see the options available to ewfmgr, so it is definitely the correct ewfmgr program that runs.
When I look at the cf disk using Control-Panel >Admin Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management, I see the primary partition and unallocated space just as I set when I applied the image. I'll send you a shot of that using diskpart as soon as I can.
Just so you are aware, I do notbhave a way of building a WES7 image from scratch. I can only use the image that comes with the TPC's themselves. Alsoi have 16GB CF drives. Th amount of used space in the primary partition is well within the partition size created via Ghost.
If you have any ideas to try when I get to making screenshots, let me know.
Thanks

Labview TPC with Third part Touch panel Computer

hi,
I have labview TPC module, i created executable file for windows CE 5.0 and build it. aftter i copy the exe file on the thirdparty Touch panel PC.
is it required to copy any other supporting file to run my application?,...
if you have any manuals send me.
Regards,
Balaji DP

I believe you don't require any other files unless you are using DAQmx Base, Shared Variables, NI TPC Service etc. in your application. Otherwise, it should work fine. Have a look at the following manual:

Sequencing images in iphoto slideshow for photo frame playback via flash drive

I have created a slide show in iphoto and saved it to a flash drive. I want the show to play in a particular sequence. On the computer that works. When playing the show via the flash drive on my Pandigital Photo Frame, however, the images randomize. The images have numbered filenames, and the shuffle function on the photo frame is turned off. What do I need to do differently?

When I connected the frame to the computer, no photo files showed, not even when I added the flash drive to the frame.
The sequence of the files on the flash drive is numerical, just what I am after. Something seems to be happening within the frame. In addition, while I have placed no files into the frame's internal memory, and none show up, when I play the slideshow, files that I once had in the slideshow file but later deleted, still appear!?

HT1751 I have my own ITunes on my laptop. How do I take an ITunes Library from another computer, put it on a flash drive and put that library on multiple other computers?

I will be creating a new ITunes on each computer. Do I then just plug in the flash drive and copy it to the new library? Is this the same process as I created new playlists?

Hi,
When you started up the TPC with the CompactFlash card in - did it recognise the file? I have done this today on a TPC - and on boot it says 'Reading XIP.NB0'.
Once it finishes I get a message saying I need to remove the CompactFlash and reboot? Have you seen any of this - or does it just boot in the normal way (as if the CF card wasn't there).
Did you copy the XIP.NB0 file across correctly, If you view it on the PC with a card reader does it appear? Is the CF card blank apart from this file?
Can you give me some more info about the process you've followed - this worked first time for me
Regards

Computer is not Recognizing Compact Flash Cards and Readers

My digital readers are no longer being recognized by my computer. When I plug one of them into a multi-port firewire hub they are not being seen. In the past when I did this iPhoto would open and then I downloaded the photos into iPhoto. Now nothing happens.

Have you considered all relevant suggestions from here?

How can I get my Windows computer to recognize my USB flash drive?

I have a jump drive, & every time I plug it in, the computer won't read it. I've tried different USB ports, & even another computer. It just won't show up, help please! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Suggest you post your question on a Windows forum, as it reallly has nothing to do with anything Apple related.

Using a Meter control in LV Touch Panel, and using shared variables that are custom controls.

I Just started using LV touch Panel module with an NI TPC-2106.
I have two differenct problems:
1) I was planning on using the "Meter" control quite a bit. I can set up the meter exactly how I like on the host PC, but on the touch Panel computer it seems to ignore my adjustments, mainly the start and end of the scale - i.e. I would like control to run from 0 to 360 with 0 straight up, using the entire circle. However, on the Touch panel computer it always puts 0 at about 7 o'clock and 360 at about 5 o'clock. I have also tried adding markers to no avail.
2) I am communicating with a compact fieldpoint controller. I can creat a shared variable that is a simple double with no problems. However, I have some shared variables that use a custom control for the variable type - bascially a cluster with a couble doubles, a time stamp, and an enumeration. It lets me drag the shared variable into my diagram, but it seems to ignore it when I run it.

Ipshita_C,
- I am using LV 8.6.1f1and LV Touch Panel 8.6.1.
- I have attached a simplified VI that shows how I want to use the meter. Notice that the placement of the endpoitns does not work correctly on the touch panel, and that it ignores the arbitrary markers that I placed.
- I also have included an XY graph control that displays on the TPC with margins around the graph area that I removed from the graph control.
- For the shared variable, it appears to be an issue related to the touch panel, not fieldpoint. I found another thread in this forum that mentioned that clusters containing Enumerations do not work in shared variables on the touch panel. I changed the enumeration to an integer and it now works fine.
In general, there seem to be a disappointing number of limitations in the touch panel implementation. My biggest concern is that I have not found any documentation from NI that lists these limitations. I seem to have to try things out and see what works and what does not work. Can you point me to a comprehensive list of touch panel modules limitations?

Touch Panel et compact RIO

Bonjour,
Je suis en stage chez DCNS, et je dois réaliser une valise de tests de relais avec un compact RIO 9024 et un Touch Panel TPC 2106
J'ai réussi à faire fonctionner le Touch Panel avec mon PC, le compact RIO avec le PC mais maintenant je voudrai qu'il fonctionnent de manière autonome entre eux (le Touch panel devant réaliser l'interface graphique et lire/envoyer les données de/sur le compact RIO?
Quels type de brancement réaliser? Configs?
Merci d'avance

Touch Panel Pages

Bonsoir.
Je travail actuelement avec un Touch Panel TPC 2106, un modul Field Point 2120 avec la version 8.5 de LabView.
Je suis arrivé pour le moment à charger un VI dans le Touch Panel, un autre dans le Field Point et les faire communiquer de maniere autonome.
J'aimerais maintenant dans le Touch Panel pouvoir afficher plusieurs "pages". Est-il possible d'ouvrir de naviguer entre plusieurs VI comme sous LabView? Je n'ai pour le moment pas trouver la methode adequate.
En vous remerciant par avance.

LabVIEW Touch Panel Reliability

Hello,
We are looking to develop an Induatrial Controller similar to PLC with a WinCE operating system. How reliable and practical is this approach? We want to use Touch Panel module to develop applications and deploy on it. The I/O will controlled through custom drivers, which will be accessed by touch panel through call library nodes.
any input is appriciated.

Good Morning Jaggs,
You can certainly implement a WinCE-only PLC-like system. The entry level will be one of our Touch Panel Controllers (WinCE - TPC-2106 and TPC-2012, XPe - TPC-2512). These do not have much processing power or many I/O options.
We also offer Panel PCs (PPC-2015 and PPC-2115). These run Windows XP and are more similar to a PC than a touch panel but they have a built in touch screen. Though they have the built-in screen, they are not overly rugged.
But remember that you have to pay a huge license fee each time ship software without the NI hardware mentioned by AE Charlie. That is if the software is developed by the Labview Touch Panel module. I do not remember the sum but it was almost as much as for a PC Real-Time desktop runtime license. In the RT case you have to pay for the RTOS. But this is not the case with Touch Panel Module. Talk about showstopper, and really stupid license policy. If you don not buy our NI hardware. We will hit you so hard in the wallet, that you change your mind. Besides the NI Touch Panel Controllers is just some OEM versions from a major manufacturer.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Copied images from flash drive and they are invisible. how do I make them visible

I have copied some image files (jpeg format) from a flash drive onto my imac. When I go to view the images they do not appear. When I try to copy them again, there is a message that I cannot modify invisible images. These images were originally downloaded to a windows-based computer and copied to the flash drive. Is there a way to make these image files visible? I am trying to use them for a website. Thanks!

Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Enter at the prompt:
chflags nohidden
After the word "hidden" put a space and type in the path to and name of the file. For example, if they are on the Desktop: chflags nohidden ~/Desktop/name_of_file. Include the file's extension. Press RETURN. If all the files have the same extensions, then use chflags nohidden ~/Desktop/*.jpg or *.jpeg.

Is it possible to download Foxfire onto a flash drive - then plug in the flash drive on a computer whose browser does not function ?

The computer I wish to use Foxfire on has no internet access as the browser is not functioning. I wondered if I could download Foxfire with a working computer and then plug the flash drive into the computer that is not functioning ?

You can download the ''full'' installer from the following page:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
(Make sure the word "Stub" is not in the suggested file name, because the stub installer needs an internet connection to download additional files.)

Transfer photos from computer to flash drive

I would like to transfer photos from computer to flash drive so I can view them on Smart TV. Only option on computer is to burn to CD or DVD.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I do not see any info on the Windows version or PC model, so here are generic instructions.
1) assuming the flash drive is seen when opening "my computer" or "computer" double click on the flash drive - it should open another window showing what, if anything is on the flash drive. Leaving that window open, now find the pictures you wish to copy or move and highlight them by clicking each one or a group (select more than one by holding the control key down while clicking in the photos) Now right click on one of the selected photos and then pick "copy" or and then right click on the open flash drive windows, right click "paste"
OR
left click and hold on one of the photos and drag the group highlighted into the open flash drive window, release the left click.

I want to copy images from a external flash drive to my 'images'

I want to copy pictures saved to an external flash drive and download them to my 'All Images' on my desktop. Thanks!

Mount the flash drive on your desktop, drag the images to your desktop and then drag and drop them onto your Images file.
