LabVIEW PDA button appearance

I have developped an application in LabVIEW 7.0 for Pocket PC.
I need to use version 7.1 to correct some bugs and add functionalities. It seems that the appearance of boolean buttons has changed. I find out how to set background color but I have still a problem with the font. In version 7.0 (Pocket PC 2002) there was a "bold" effect on the button font. This effect is still visible on two button dialog box.
Does anybody knows how to keep this effect (which font to use, what attribute, ...)
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I don't have a Pocket-PC but a PALM OS based PDA with LV-7.1
The button style of two buttons dialog box is not a bold one. It's a plain font.
I'll ask the question about Pocket PC specifically.
Best regards.

Is it possible to run AM Modulation in LabVIEW PDA Module?

Hi All,
        I would like to ask about AM Modulation vis can run on PDA Module or not?Because as i mention that PDA screen is too small to see all the AM modulation waveforms.So i would like to know whether is it pissible to run AM Modulation on the LabVIEW PDA Module? If it is possible, please tell me that how should i modified my VIs on block diagram and how do i arrange all waveforms graph on front panel?
        Then, the AM modulation that i want to run is as shown in attach file.
         Thanks to all for your help.
With Regards

Hi Jpaul,
             Thanks for your quite useful help. I am now able to manage all waveform in one tab control. But i still have some errors for my final year project. I am from Singapore Nanyang Polytechnic who do the final year project. My project is to transfer over the AM Modulation waveforms on the PDA device. But i still face on with some errors.My error is as following.
(1) After i run my waveforms together with Tab control, the program that appear on the PDA is only too small and only can see half of
      my waveform.As i understand that all the text size must be greater than 20. And I chose the landscape screen for my tab control using.
      The waveform that together with tab control is as shown in attach file.
(2) Then my PDA's internal memory is not enough space for running the new application and when i want to delete it, it is not possible to
      delete and there is error to delete. I would like to know how can i delete my NI files from my memory. My PDA model is HP iPAQ hx2700.
(3) Then I would like to know more about what is the usage of NI CF-6004? Is it like memory card for running NI
      waveforms on the PDA? Or if not what is it use for ?
             I am strongly appreciate for ur help and i know that this might be so many question. But i am really no way to find this errors anymore.Thats why i have to ask to you. I will be thanks for all ur help. Thanks a lot

Labview pda 8

Is there a PDA version 8 out? if not how well does Labview 8 work with Labview PDA 7.1?

LabVIEW 8 for PDA should be released in the next few weeks. right now,
the only "8" version products that have been released are LabVIEW and
DAQmx. The rest are on the way.
The 7.1 PDA module will not work with LabVIEW 8.
Unfortuately, we have to patient and wait. I'm waiting for RT, FieldPoint and FPGA myself.

LV PDA 8.2 Initialize PDA Button.vi BUG

The Initialize PDA Button.vi for PDA 8.2 is not consistent with prior versions. Here is what the example VI states at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\examples\PDA\key events\Key Events Advanced - Pocket PC.vi
Using key events does not override the mapping of application keys. By default, LabVIEW PDA applications do not receive an event when a key that is mapped to an application by the OS is pressed while a LabVIEW PDA application is running. The mapped application launches. You can use the Initialize PDA Button VI to suspend the mapping of application keys while the LabVIEW PDA application is active.
If you load the project and download the exe, in prior version ALL keys that were mapped to applications became disabled. Now only the up, down, left and right keys are disabled. This is a bug. Please fix since it looks like it's just calling the input.dll. Can NI submit to us a new DLL??
Thanks

Labview PDA toolkit activation code

Hello,
I'm trying to activate the licence for the labview pda (for palm) toolkit.
In spite of the S/N is correct, i can t get an activation code. I get a
Developper Suite licence. I called NI support, even with my computer ID and
my S/N, they didn't managed to give me a valid activation code (eventhough
they checked the SN is a valid Developper Suite one).
The NI licence manager always tell me my SN is not the one for the product i
try to activate.
Any ideas?
Thx.
Olivier

I don't think any of the Developer Suites come with the PDA module. So the serial number for your Developer Suite will not work with the PDA module to activate it.
You should have received a separate serial number with the PDA module when you purchased it. That is the only one that will work to activate it.

Labview PDA module 7.1 and Windows Mobile 5.0

Hi!
In spite of reading that Labview PDA module is compatible with Windows Mobile 5.0, I've tried to compile an application for Pocket Pc 2003 in my device (which has a Windows Mobile 5.0 OS) and it doesn't work. It seems that the process fails when the executable is being sent to the device. Does anybody know what happens and what can I do to solve it? It's strange because the same application compiles properly with a device with Windows 2003 OS!
If it was not possible to solve, could I create an executable directly in my Pc and then copy it in the device?
Thank you very much for your help!!!!
Greta

I believe it was said that the problem with writing for CE 5 is only with downloading the application, which you need to do manually. You can do this by copying the EXE to the device's shared folder. ActiveSync should automatically recognize that and synchronize the folders, so you will have the file on the PocketPC. Another option is to copy it to the Mobile Device folder, which should appear under My Computer.
Try to take over the world!

Anyone worked on LabVIEW PDA module for Pocket PC?

LabVIEW 7.1 PDA Module is claimed having the new features:
* DMM support for helps you build portable instruments using a PDA
* Tab controls, graph zoom, and additional control customization improve development of professional applications for PDAs
Does anyone has any working example for the ZOOM and for DMM4050? The NI website's example for DMM does not work for LabVIEW 7.1 PDA Module.

Installing the driver for the NI PCMCIA-4050 is a little more complicated than other installations. You will have to follow the exact procedure stated in the "NI 4050 for PDA Readme.htm" file. I pasted the important information here:
Installing PDA files:
Place nirlpdriver.dll and NI4050DLL.dll in the \Windows directory
Place the NIRLP 4050.exe in the \Windows\Start Menu directory
Installing LabVIEW support:
Copy the LabVIEW\NI4050 folder into the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\PDA folder
Copy the ni4050.mnu file into the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\user.lib folder
Installing LabVIEW examples:
Copy the LabVIEW\Examples\NI4050 folder into C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\PDA
Getting Started
Before the NI-4050 will be recognized by the PDA, you must run the NIRLP 4050.exe. This EXE will install the registries needed by the PDA to recognize the hardware as well as a test routine which allows you to verify that the device is properly installed.
Once the device has been tested, you are ready to begin building your own LabVIEW PDA application with the NI-4050.
If you are new to developing PDA applications with LabVIEW, read the LabVIEW PDA Module User Manual.pdf for getting started. You can find the manual by going to Start>>Program Files>>National Instruments>>LabVIEW 7.1>>Module Documents>>LabVIEW PDA Module User Manual.
There are several examples which come with the NI4050 for PDA. You can find these examples in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\PDA\NI4050 directory.
When building code for your PDA which includes the NI4050, make sure to manually add the NI4050DLL.lib file in the LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\PDA\NI4050\Include directory. To do this, in LabVIEW go to Tools>>Build for PDA and then select the “Source Files” tab, press the Add File button and browse to the NI4050DLL.lib file.
Without these actions, your application will not work. Make sure that you install the NI PCMCIA-4050 driver AFTER an optional NI-DAQmx Base install.
Please let me know if you are still having issues after following all the directions from the readme-file.

Why is it that whenever I download a song from Itunes that a small grey round button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress button), but when I press on it to resume, the song disappears. This wasn't happening before.

Why is it that whenever I download a song from itunes that a small grey button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress) but whenever I hit it to resume, the song disappears. I am getting annoyed with having to copy the songs manually onto my phone. Thanks for anyones help. Cheers

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module?

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module? So that it checks with a list of usernames and passwords and allow to go to another VI?
Anu

Anu,
I've attached a really short example that does something like what you're talking about. It just compares the user's username and password a pre-determined username and password and then "logs the user in" based on that comparison. Like Greycat said, you probably want to store this username and password info in some sort of file on the PDA that's in an encrypted format for both security and flexibility of your application.
I hope this helps,

Labview pda module: how can I resize image dynamically in an application?

Hello every one,
I am currently working on the development of an application on a PDA (brand Nomad) and whose OS is Windows Mobile. So I am using the PDA module of Labview 8.6.My problem is the following one: in my application I would like to be able to load images (thanks to their path) in pictures indicators. I load images with the labview “function PDA Image File Load.vi” and then my problem is that images don’t fit with the size of the indicator, and so I am only able to see the left top corner of the image…Of course, I would like to see the entire picture, but I don’t know how I can modify or resize a picture with the PDA Module, where most of the property nodes (zoom factor, scrollbars…for picures) are not available.Has someone ever faced and fixed that problem?? Any help would be really appreciated!! PS: Attached is one part of my application!

ITunes won't play song, even though pause button appears

Recently my iTunes has stopped playing songs. If I click the play button, the pause button appears but the progress bar does not move and no sound is made. The volume on my computer is fine as I can still watch videos on youtube and such. I've recently updated to the lastest iTunes and am not sure whether the songs played find after that or not. I read that it could be a probably with quicktime but I've deleted that and downloaded it again but that did not help.
Please help me!

I noticed today I am having the same problem. Song would not play in Ver. 9.1.0 and 9.1.1. Same song plays fine in another media player. Also seeing the same that al0022 is seeing, my play button changes to a pause button, and my progress bar does not move. I am able to navigate around iTunes until I try to play a song then I have to kill the task.
I had a Windows update performed yesterday, and believe the windows update is the cause of the problem.
Anyone else unable to play after Windows updates were performed?

How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

Hi,
I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
For reference,
- here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
- here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
Many thanks!

HI,
Debug the program after you press the CANCEL button , you will get where the conrol is flowing , And instead of using
Leave to screen '910' use Leave to screen 0.

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem?

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem? I've copied the logs that I found for each kernel panic that still have the message logged. Please help if you can, I have read some of the other comments and perhaps it has something to do with my anti-virus software being on at start up. I have copied the log here. Any advice will be welcome.

Two experiments you can try.
1. Boot in safe mode and see if you can shut down normally. All thise additions won't be running in safe mode so this test would indicate it is one of them causing the problem.
2. Uninstall all the intego VirusBarrier stuff. That's my first guess and the troublemaker.

Phantom Play Button Appearing in middle of first slide

I have a Play button appearing in the middle of my first slide and cannot figure out where it is coming from. I
do not have any selections made for a control panel . Here is a capture of what I am getting. Anyone else have this problem? I really need help on this one. Never saw it before.

Hi there
You may believe it to be a "Phantom", but the odds are you actually told it to be there.
Try clicking Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End.
My money is betting that you have cleared the "Auto Play" check box at the top of that screen.
Cheers... Rick
