LabVIEW DSC installation problems

Hello,
I'm trying to install LabVIEW DSC 6.1 but when I launch setup.exe file this message pops up:
"Unable to load ini file. Windows Error 1157"
I have Labview 6.1 installed and my OS is Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.
Any feedback will be wellcome.
Thanks in advance.
Jose.

Hello Jose,
I haven't ran into that issue and I'm not sure about its cause and solution, but here are some ideas on what you could try/check (they are separate ideas, not a sequence of steps):
-Login as administrator to install the software
-Make sure your PC has enough memory and free space on the HD
-Copy the content of the CD to the HD, and run the installer from there
-Modern installers have setup.exe and setup.msi launchers, try to execute the .msi instead of the .exe
-Reinstall LabVIEW 6.1 and then DSC (before that, make a backup of any custom vi's/files that may be overwritten/removed, and then uninstall LabVIEW from Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs ..Agregar y quitar programas))
If none of these helps, let me know.
Regards,
JorgeM.

  • LabVIEW DSC: Migration from 6.1 to 8.6 problems

    Colleagues,
    I need help from someone who experienced with LabVIEW DSC. I would like to recompile pretty old application written in LabVIEW 6.1/DSC 6.1 to LabVIEW 8.6, and got lot of troubles with this.
    At the first I have tried to migrate my old scf file as described here: "Migrating from LabVIEW DSC 7.1 to 8.0".
    Well, it seems to be OK, and LabVIEW.lvlib library with variables was created, but when I tried to double click on the some items, then exception occurred in LabVIEW (see dsc_exception.png in attachment).
    Can you please open test project (attached to this post) and double-click on the Slave005_A0 Item? Is crash happened only by me or by someone else?
    The second problem with understanding.
    In LabVIEW DSC 6.1 I have used "Read Tag.vi" / "Write Tag.vi" vis for accessing the items. When my VI opened in LabVIEW/DSC 8.6, then these calls replaced with "legacy_Write_Tag_(analog)7x.vi" (see screenshot). I'm unable to found according VIs in DSC 8.6. How can I write/read my tags in the latest version? As far as I can understand, I can use Shared Variables directly. Is this correct? But then how can I read multiple tags? Through DataSocket VIs?
    The same with "legacy_Get_Tag_List7x.vi". How can I get items list in DSC 8.6 programmatically?
    Or should I leave all legacy* vis in my application?
    thanks in advance and best regards,
    Andrey.

    Hi Andrey,
    Yes, my LabVIEW crashes as well. As you may have noticed, a lot has changed in LabVIEW 8.0 with regards to DSC, the most important being that tags are replaced with Shared Variables. I would recommend that you go through each variable and create them by yourself to ensure the most reliable performance. 
    If you are interested in reading 'tags', then you just need to drag the Shared Variable and place it on the block diagram (that's the direct way). If you are interested in doing this programatically, then have a look at the DSC Module -> Engine Control -> Variables & I/O Servers -> Get Shared Variable List palette on the block diagram. You can then use DataSocket to access the Shared Variables.
    Don't leave the legacy VIs on your block diagram. Upgrade your whole project; shared variables are here to stay. Have a look at the following article to get a thorough understanding of them:
    Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable

  • Installation problem on SUSE 12.1

    Hi
    I'm a Linux beginner and I am trying to install LV on SUSE 12.1
    I've also posted my problems on Lava:
    http://lavag.org/topic/15240-labview-installation-problem-on-suse-121/
    The installation started and it looks quite all right, but when I try to start LabVIEW, the application just sits in the taskbar for about 20 seconds and then just disappears.
     Any ideas?
    Is there a way to debug to see what's going on?
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Unfortunately, there are no versions of LabVIEW supported on SUSE 12.1 at present. Here's a link to LabVIEW version compatibility with different Linux distributions. I saw from your other forum that you're attempting to install LabVIEW 2009, which is certified for SUSE 11.0 at the latest.

  • 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.

  • Interfacing PLC siemens S7_300 and LabVIEW DSC using siemens OPC server

    Does anyone already interface Siemens PLC S7_315-2-DP with LabVIEW DSC using Siemens OPC server?
    Is that a good solution? Are there any hidden problems?

    The use of an OPC Server is the way to go when dealing with LV. If you already have Siemens OPC Server then use that. Otherwise, NI has a product called IA Severs/Lookout Protocol Drivers (LPD), which has a large selection of drivers for PLC's. After configuring the driver, LPD is the OPC Server for the device.

  • Where can I get the password for unzipping LabVIEW DSC RTS 6.0 ?

    no additional text

    The installation files are password protected.
    ONLY LabVIEW DSC RTS 6.0 CUSTOMERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE DOWNLOAD
    (contact National Instruments Technical Support to obtain the password).
    Note: this is a complete installer. Unlike DSC 6.0.2 development system
    that requires LabVIEW 6.0.2 and DSC 6.0 prior updating to 6.0.2, this
    installation does not have such requirements.

    Hello jg-code,
    XP Embedded is not a supported Operating System for running LabVIEW developement environment or the DSC Module.  This does not mean that it will not work, only that we do not guarantee that it will work.  One reason for this is that XP Embedded can be made into any variety of installations.  The following link may provide some useful information.

  • Crash with labview DSC

    LabVIEW 7.1
    LabVIEW DSC 7.1
    Citadel 5
    Hi,
    I've developed an application with Labview 7.1... I'm using a customer/server structure.
    I'm using a fieldPoint to acquire analog values trough labview DSC.
    When only the server runs, i've no problem. I can read and display all the tags i want in historical graphs.
    On the Computer "customer", I imported network tags through the "Tag Configuration Editor".
    Sometimes, when i want to read historical datas, Windows (XPSP2) kills my application on the customer. (I'm using the VI "read traces" ).
    I saw errors in the "windows events viewer" : wrong execution of nicitmid.dll
    I don't know how to solve this problem. Any help ?
    (sorry for my poor english )
    regards,
    Alexis de La Fontaine

    Bonjour,
    Je constate que vous êtes de NI france donc je me permet de m'exprimer dans ma langue...
    Oui, cette dll est installée avec Labview DSC.
    Ce que j'ai pu constater :
    J'ai un PC serveur qui tourne et qui centralise toutes les données reçues d'un fieldpoint. Ces données sont stockées dans la base de données gérée par citadel. Lorsque je demande des courbes d'historique de mes voies de mesures depuis le PC serveur, je n'ai aucun problème (j'utilise les Vis NI pour obtenir ces historiques).
    Par contre j'ai un deuxième logiciel utilisé en tant que client sur des postes distants. Lorsque je fais des demandes d'historiques de données.... le client va chercher ces données sur le poste serveur... Dans la très grande majorité des cas, celà fonctionne très bien ! par contre, dans certains cas (aléatoires à mon sens), l'application cliente OU maitre plante avec une erreur windows. C'est alors que la dll nicitmid.dll est mise en cause par windows.
    D'après moi, cette erreur est peut-être dûe au fait de demander simultanement des courbes d'historique à la fois depuis un poste client et depuis le poste maitre....
    Avez-vous des idées, des suggestions ?
    Cordialement,

  • Labview dsc client server

    Hi,
    I use LV7 and labview dsc.
    I would like to read historical traces from a client PC. my database is saved on a server PC. I'm using "Read Traces.vi". It works well but i have to wait 10 or 20 seconds to have results (for only 100 points).
    I have no problem for reading tags in real time but it is very too slow for reading historical data.
    I would like to know if there is a solution to minimise time for echanging historical data.
    Thanks.

    Hi Alexis,
    Are you observing the same delay with Read Traces.vi when you read traces locally? 100 points means 100 I/O points (tags) ?

  • LabVIEW DSC 2011 / OPC Client IO Server / Can I write to the OPC Server using OPC Groups?

    Hi
    I am using LabVIEW DSC module as a OPC client. My Shared Variables are binded to automation system OPC Server via "OPC Client IO Server".
    On the OPC Server side it seems that the every write commands comes like one item at time, not like grouped.
    Now I have tested this with the NI OPC Server as server and KepServer and LabVIEW DSC IO Server as OPC Clients.
    When I use the NI OPC Server : OPC Diagnostics there are different events messages when the update request comes from KepServer or LabVIEW DSC.
    There are log files on attachements for both write events.
    Attachments:
    Data from the KepServer.txt ‏6 KB
    Data from the LabVIEW DSC OPC Client.txt ‏18 KB

    Hello Pentsi,
    I have received confirmation (from the PSE in the US) that DSC doesn't support group writes
    There however work-arounds that might provide a solution:
    - The first solution I had in mind was like this. Update the 50 OPC items as fast as possible.
    Then use a 51st item as synchronization OPC item to check/indicate if new data has arrived/has been set/is available.
    So LabVIEW sets 50 OPC values as fast as possible. The 51st value becomes goes from false to true when the first 50 values are written.
    When this (51st) value is true on the OPC server you can read out the first 50 values (from the non-LabVIEW side). When you've read out these values, then you can set the 51st value back to false (from the non-LabVIEW side).
    In the meanwhile at the LabVIEW side you wait until the 51st value goes back from true to false.
    When it becomes false, then you write again those 50 values and afterwards set the 51st synchronization value from false to true.
    And this keeps on going...
    Note: Keep in mind that you only have to monitor one event at the side of the Automation System OPC Server in this case (the 51st) and based on an event occuring over there you can just do a group read of the 50 others. Also keep in mind that the maximum rate (6500 updates per second) from inside LabVIEW with the DSC Module OPC client I/O server was also mentioned in this document (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/63C043359F1​E12538625726E005BCD0C?OpenDocument).
    Could this be a possible solution for your problem?
    If you're using one of the OPC servers in this list (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6417#toc19), then you can also use NI OPC Servers to update tags instead, which supports a faster update rate.

So we tried to unistall to curently version. This was running badly. Now there entry is removed from windows software, but the software is still on the system. Always if we try to install any java, we get a failure message with no error discription. So we looked for some installation logs, but I can't find the problem. Can you have a look? What can I do?
