LabVIEW 8 & Windows XP Embedded?

We have
a system running XP Embedded and I would like to run a compiled LV8 application on it.
It requires one of the DAQCards (1200) to gather data. I guess I'm just not sure
how this will all fit on the system. Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.1 is a
386MB zip file. The LV8 Run-Time install is 85.4MB, although there is a 24MB reduced functionality download. Is there anyway
of reducing the size of these installs? I don't need to support every
single card NI makes - just the card for my system. Any ideas from
those that have done this?
Thanks!

Hi Derek,
You will need to use Traditional DAQ version 6.9.3 (instead of version 7.4.1) because that is the last Traditional DAQ driver that supports the DAQCard-1200. This is actually helpful in your situation because the EXE installer of Traditional DAQ 6.9.3 is significantly smaller at 62.3 MB.
How Do I Use Older Versions of NI-DAQ (6.9.3) with LabVIEW 7.x or 8.0?

We do not have individual DAQ drivers for each individual DAQ card, so there is no way to reduce the size of the DAQ drivers going that route.
I also want to warn you that National Instruments does not officially support Windows XP Embedded, since it has not been tested.
Hope this helps!

Installing LabVIEW DSC 8.6 Run Time on Windows XP Embedded flash memory

I'm trying to install LabVIEW DSC 8.6 Run Time on an embedded PC running Windows XP Embedded. This has a small local disk (c), so I would like to install DSC Run Time on a secondary flash memory drive (d). The installer tells me that I don't have enough free space on drive c, but I cannot browse to select drive d. What do I need to do to get this installed?
Thanks,
Josh

The DSC module can't easily be installed to external flash memory. You'll want to move any extra data onto the flash drive to free up space on the internal memory for installing the DSC module.

LabVIEW application run on Windows XP Embedded

I'm doing a Embedded system based on Windows XP Embedded operating system.I want to make a LabVIEW applications which can run on it.I see a lot of paper that show the LabVIEW does not support Windows XP Embedded.I want to know whether the official has already solved this problem?Or someone has done the same thing successful?

Who is the official? NI? If it isn't supported, NI is unlikely to be trying to solve the issue as we are a bit beyond XP. You'd need to find unsupported methods to hack it a bit. I'm not sure you'll enjoy this process

NI DAQmx 14.2 and Windows 7 embedded

Hello,
I try to install an application using labview 2014 with an acquisition device NI USB-6251 on a Windows 7 platform brand new embedded.
The problem is it seems the installer refuses to install DAQmx 14.2 on this machine, I just get the following messages:
(See the images below)
Whenever I confirm Insatallation to continue to the end.
When the PC is restarted, the NI USB-6251 device is not recognized either by windows or by MAX. (Not valid drivers)
I transferred the driver manually (nixsrkw.sys) of a PC that works with the device in the path I indicates the installer plug and play windows (Windows / system32 / drivers), without success! (No valid driver)
I tried several installer configuration, nothing happens, I have to wonder if NI DAQmx14.2 is compatible with Windows 7 Embedded ...
Thank you for helping me a bit if you have already encountered this kind of problem, I do not understand what blocks the installation of the USB driver.
Sorry for my poor English
Greetings to all.
Lionel

Hello Miello,
Thank you for your answer, I just tried the "run as Admin ..." with the right button, with the same problem in the end.
It is true that this manipulation is not well documented in Windows 7.
I'll try the same installer with a machine running Windows XP embedded, I'll let you know.
If the installation succeeded this clearly show that the problem is on the Windows 7 side, otherwise the problem is in the application builder or modules ...
To be continued ...

Is it possible to use a CompactDAQ and NI-DAQmx in the TPC-2212 with Windows 7 Embedded System?

Hi,
I would like to develop a application with the TPC-2212 (Touch panel computer) and a CompactDaq System (NI9237 - 4-Channel, ±25 mV/V, 24-Bit Simultaneous Bridge Module).
Is it possible or I should use a panel pc?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This thread is a bit old, but I thought it would be worth while responding (as I was wondering the same thing a day ago).
The answer to the OP's concern(s) is YES, you can install DAQmx on your Windows 7 embedded TPC-2212 touch panel device while connecting to your cDAQ hardware. YES, it will function (depending on your memory constraints). DAQmx BASE is NOT a requirement (which, to me, seems very ambiguous if you're referring to NI's documentation for the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module).
My confusion began when it seemed using the Touch Panel Module for the 2212 was a requirement, not an option. If one proceeds with this assumption, then referring to the TPM documentation:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371940d.pdf
NOTE: this link above is to an older version, but the content itself (also installed locally with the TPM in \\manuals\TPC_Getting_Started.pdf) remains relatively unchanged.
Section "Installing Additional Tools" clearly states "You must install additional tools on the target depending on the functionality you need." Immediately following is the installation procedures for DAQmx Base. You'll see the same statement in the LabVIEW help files that get installed with the TPM on your development machine. Nowhere does it state, for Windows Embedded, that it's possible to use DAQmx itself.
Because DAQmx is a bit of a heavy weight, you'll probably want to go with the Runtime (with MAX) as I did:
Search for 'NI DAQmx Run-Time Engine - Configuration with MAX'. I would have posted a link, but NI's site was down for maintenance at the time of this post.
Connect to your 2212 over a network connection (I just used a cross over cable and connected directly). Create a shared directory and copy the downloaded installer on over - install. You could, of course, download direct if your 2212 is already networked with web access.
I have my test station application running beautifully with an attached (USB) cDAQ chassis loaded with a variety of modules.
I hope this post is as useful for somebody else as it would have been for me.

Windows xp embedded TPC

Hello,
i have ARM9 - Windows XP embedded Third party Touch panel screen.... i have labview touch panel 8.6..
could you tell me, is there any procedure to install the application on the TPC ....?
Regards,
Balaji DP

Hi Balaji,
I am assuming that you created a separate thread since you have a Windowx XPe TPC now.
You will need two things: LabVIEW Runtime Engine and the NI TPC Service. You must install the LabVIEW
Run-Time Engine on the Touch Panel target before you can install the NI
TPC Service (The device must include an .msi engine in order
to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine since the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine is
required to run Touch Panel applications on XPe). After you install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on the Touch Panel target, install the NI TPC Service from NI_TP_Service\NITPCService.msi, which is located in the same directory as the setup.exe you used to install the Touch Panel Module. Post back if you have any other questions.

Windows XP Embedded

I am planning on using Windows XP Embedded for my first time. The system
will have to boot off a CD-ROM and cannot have a hard drive. It will run a
LabVIEW executable that mostly communicates via TCP/IP to several computers.
There may also be a GPIB card installed in the computer to collect data from
an oscilloscope. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for my
project? Can anyone point to any good information that might be of use? I
was able to find some information about Windows NT Embedded at
http://zone.ni.com but I couldn't find anything about Windows XP Embedded.

Windows XP Embedded and license agreement

Hi all,
We are planning on installing the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on one of our product. It is a ruggedized PC designed for the field operator. To train our operators, we have a dedicated set of Flash tutorials that they can load up in the field to help them out whenever they want. While it is a PC where people can install additional products, we are using Windows XP Embedded as the operating system.
As we are installing the Flash Player in a product, we read the distributor license agreement to see if we we're permitted to do so. You can read this license agreement at the bottom of this page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=distribution_form&pv=fp#EXHIBIT_A
We've only hit one issue that is restricting us from installing the Flash Player. Under point 2 - Definitions, it says:
For the avoidance of doubt, “Authorized Operating Systems” does not include embedded or device versions of such operating systems.
As you can see, the license agreement says that we cannot install the Flash Player on an embedded version of an operating system. As WIndows XP Embedded is the embedded version of XP, we feel that we do not respect the license agreement.
On the other hand, our device is a PC, not an embedded device like a smartphone or a personal video recorder for example. All the embedded devices listed in the license agreement (again, see point 2) do not include our device.
We were looking for some clarifications from Adobe on this matter. Calling tech support took me across the world from India to the U.S without even a piece of the answer. I was wondering if this forum would help us out at figuring out if we can distribute the Flash Player on Windows XP Embedded.
Thank you,

Dear Randy
forget the things the other ppl said.
I have done XP Embedded systems since some years now and they have to work 24h a day and 365 day a year.
If you have a good running system you can depend on it and LV will run propperly too.
Make sure your EWF manager works fine.
Most of the problems come from bad hardware.
I suggest to try prime95 on your XP Embedded system at least for 24 hours.
If it doesn't crash that your system ist stable.
The problem you have described may come from a bad RAM device. I have seen failures like this several times.
Another problem might be a memory leakage in your software.
Try to user the LabVIEW Desktop Execution Trace toolkit to find memory leakage.
If you use queues you have to check the usage of optain queue.
This may case a slow down of your programm because os a reference leak of this function.
You will see this using the LabVIEW Desktop Execution Trace toolkit too.
Mostly the problem is caused by bad hardware, high temperatur or a failure between the ears of the programmer.
Hope this may help you a little bit.
Yours with kind regards

Runtime for Windows XP embedded

Is there any chance to install the LV runtime of an Windows XP embedded?

Hello,
I have successfully been able to include Labview Runtime as an XPE component, with some help and judicious advice from Grek. All this was for LV 6.1.
I had initially tried to install the runtime engine after First Boot of XPE. Unfortunately, Labview Runtime Engine(6.1) checks the OS and XPE returns itself as EMBEDDED which the Runtime Engine does not recognize and aborts installation.
This was one of the reason I hesitated to upgrade to newer version because after converting the RTE to XPE component, the Upgrade to 7.1 would leave me with a tedious task of creating a newer component.
Anyway I have the component for LV 6.1. It is also available at
http://www.xpefiles.com/a_folder.cfm?custid=Components&groupName=Other
NiVisa is also available.
NI should be easily able to create the component for the latest runtime engine for XPE with dependency structure that requires minimal support. Score One against NI for just wringing their hands.
There are ways to go about in creating component.
If any one is interested I will be glad to help.

Good Luck!

Motion with windows xp embedded

I am trying to get some motion code to run under the Windows XP embedded Op system.
Has anyone any new knowledge from that existing in the forum?
If so can anyone possibly give me a blow by blow account of how to get some sample CVi motion code running on an embedded system?
Also how do I configure Write Filter to allow the minimal system to run from Flash or Solid State Disk?
Many Thanks
All comments and experiences from my development will be shared back to the forum.
Mike..

Mike,
I understand your concern and I'm passing this request to R&D to evaluate their future development.
LabVIEW RT now supports also Motion and Vision, this have been added in the near past to the RT product line.
Since you are mandated to use LabWindows/CVI, my suggestion will be to either have a PC, but running onboard programs in the motion controller, in this way you are running your program on an RT-OS, and as long as your computer is turned on it will be working.
The other suggestion is to have a firewire controller, the FW-7344, together with the onboard program feature, with LW/CVI you can program your application, download it to the controller, and just disconnect it from your computer, you can leave the "box" working as a stand-al
one instrument.
I hope this helps, if not hopefully you will find an answer from someone else here on the forum. Good luck!

PCI6515 Drivers for WINDOWS XP EMBEDDED

Hello,
I need to install PCI-6515 Drivers on Windows XP Embedded.
I can't install NI-DAQ disk because there is no such thing like "windows installer" in WXPE.
How I can find only the *.dll or *.exe installation files ?
Thanks,
Guy.

Guy,
I'm afraid that since we don't support WXPE that I can't offer you any advice that has been tested or that is known to work. Your troubleshooting steps do seem logical. The one thing I might suggest is that you install the Windows installer before trying anything. That is, before attempting to install anything or before placing the oledlg.dll file. I can't imagine why Microsoft would disable their own installer. It would make it very difficult to install a lot of products - including many of their own. Because this seems improbable, might it be that the installation of WXPE on that machine is corrupt? You could try a repair install or even a fresh install.
I've looked on Microsoft's website and the web in general for information on these errors, and as I'm sure you've discovered there isn't much. Most similar errors I found stemmed from a Win98 OS, which again leads me to believe that this isn't expected behavior for WXPE.
I wish I could offer you proven advice. At this point you might consider contacting Microsoft's technical support. I would venture that you'll find this error is not just associated with National Instruments software. Hopefully they can tell you what's going on.
Good luck Guy, and if you do figure it out it would be great if you could post your resolution on this forum so we can learn from it. Thanks, and have a great weekend!

TPC 2206 - Windows XP Embedded (XPe) OR Windows Embedded Standard 7??

Hello. I have to buy a TPC 2206.
Should I buy with Windows XP Embedded (XPe) OR Windows Embedded Standard 7??
I have LabVIEW 2012 (DSC y/o touch pannel module) but I'll probably update to LabVIEW 2014 in the future. (II have to be able to program the computer with both options).
Thanks!

Ok, But I need to know if I will be able to program the TPC 2206 (witn WES7 installed) with the LabVIEW DSC module 2012 version.
Based on the LabVIEW OS Roadmap, I think you will be just fine.

Has anyone run labview under XP Embedded

has anyone had any experience using labview with XPe for wireless data acquisition?

Hi track,
Here are some other posts on the same topic:
Windows XP Embedded
Windows XP Embedded
NI currently does not support LabVIEW on embedded XP operating system.
XP Embedded systems allow users to choose desired OS components to be installed and hence do not guarantee the presence of all the components required for running LabVIEW. So if you have the required components, you may be able to work with LabVIEW but as of now, we do not support it
Instead it is recommended that people who wish to use embedded XP and LabVIEW consider using LabVIEW RT or LabVIEW for Linux instead.

Installing Adobe AIR on Windows XP Embedded

Hello,
I'm working at a museum using kiosk type clients running Adobe AIR. One type of thin clients we're using is running Windows XP Embedded. I've tried installing standard Adobe AIR on it via web, but it keeps failing. Is there some way to get Adobe AIR up and running on the Embedded version of XP?

Any official word on this? It seems Flash Player is supported
