LABVIEW PDA/DAQmx Base error

I'm building a VI for a PDA (pocketPC 2003)
In a Functions Panel, when I'm going in a menu "Measurement I/O" => "DAQmx Base", it misses many icons. I have installed and uninstalled three time DaqmxBase 2.2 with the same result (icon.jpg). I have installed Daqmx Base 3.0 and the problem is always there. Moreover, when I'm going in menu "Select VI" in a Functions Panels, I can open anothers Daqmx Base VI, but there is many errors (error.jpg).

Hi,
LabVIEW PDA support for DAQ is limited. The number of DAQ VI's available on LabVIEW PDA is also limited.
I could not clearly view your error list but I did run across a possibly useful Knowledge Base article. I am also including the Known Issues with LabVIEW PDA 8.2.1 . I hope this helps!

NI DAQmx Base error

We're trying to use the NI USB 9233 DAQ card with DAQmx Base 3.4 on Windows 7 and we're getting a lot of errors in the process.
The card seems to be recognized properly, as it shows in the Measurement and Automation Explorer (the one that came with DAQmx Base).
But when we open the NI Data Logger, it says "Error 200036 at Requested Sample Clock Rate not supported by device".
We're tried changing the sample rate quite a few times, and to a lot of different values, with the same result.
Also, in the NI Nase Configuration Utility, we're unable to create a task. The Device simply shows up at "Dev1" i.e. without any name. And when we try to create a task, the "OK" button is greyed out.
Any ideas what may be going wrong?
Thank you in advance
Sarthak

Wow, I did not know there were two different things... I thought it just meant it was a base error.
Neil, can you provide all of the code that you have that controls your DAQmx stuff? You're showing a small part of the whole DAQmx process and it's just not enough information to get to the root of the problem.

LabView PDA module gives error "unable to lock memory chunk"

I've written a LabVIEW PDA Application that reads an ASCII decimal string through a PDA serial port. I can display the string ok, but when I try to convert the string to a number using the decimal string to number VI I get the error message "App failed. Error Code 172649003. Unable to lock memory chunk."
Any ideas?

Does this happen whenever you use the string to number VI (can you reproduce this in an empty VI)?
Are you sure it happened because of that VI and not because of something else that is happening in the VI at the same time?
Can you cut down pieces of the code and still get the error? Can you post a small example?
Which PDA\LV are you using?
Can you write some more details about your app (does it do anything else other than serial comm)?

Pda daqmx base task information

Hi!
I use LV PDA Module 8., Windows Mobile 5 OS on PDA and CF-6004 acquisition card.
I configure 3 tasks in DAQmx Base Task Configuration Utility, which have different sampling rate and samples per channel property.
Problem is that I can't get this properties programmical, since PDA Module doesn't support Timing Node, so I have no information what sampling rate is set when I select new Task in my application.
Thanks,
andrej

Hi Andrej,
Since DAQmx Base does not offer property nodes or the waveform data type, there is currently not a way to programmatically check which sampling rate was used by the 6004. If you feel strongly that this feature should be included, I encourage you to create a product suggestion and describe your application in detail. R&D considers these suggestions very seriously when making decisions about future products. I hope this helps.

LabVIEW PDA reports COREDLL.DLL error when using Call Library Function Node

I'm trying to build a LV PDA app that calls an external DLL file built using embedded visual C. When configuring the Call Library Function node I select the stub DLL, configure the I/O parameters and select OK. When the configuration dialog closes I get the following error:
LabVIEW: LabVIEW.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start because COREDLL.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I do not get this error when using the configuration dialog in the example VIs.
Any suggestions as to the cause and/or the solution?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hello -
When you create a PDA VI that calls a DLL, you must include the .c or .lib file that corresponds to the DLL. Take a look at these documents:

NI Daqmx Base tutorial

Hi,
I am now using a data acquisition CompactFlash-6004 and i have installed the NI DAQmx Base 3.1 driver. The problem now is i can't find any tutorials for NI DAQmx base.Any kind person please direct me to the correct source?

The LabVIEW NI-DAQmx Base Help gives a lot of information on the LabVIEW VI's and properties. In LabVIEW, select Help » Search the LabVIEW Help and the VI reference help section for NI-DAQmx Base.
Also, please see the KB below for the location of examples for DAQmx Base and the Developer Zone article for some getting started information with DAQ.
Where Can I Find NI-DAQmx Base Examples?

Error message when building an application for Labview PDA

When using LabView PDA module to build an application for a PDA target, I receive the following message: "Error building executable. Unable to create file". Why is this happening?
When looking at the error log, it reads "The system cannot find the file specified."
This happens even when looking at one of the Labview PDA example VI's, so it is not a result of the VI containing functions of features not supported by Labview PDA.
When installing Labview PDA, I installed files as follows, and in this order:
(i) Labview 7.1 (installed previously)
(ii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
(iii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP 3.0
(iv) Microsoft SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
(v) Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8
(vi) NI Labview 7.1 PDA module for PocketPC
(vii) DAQmx Base 1.0 for PDA or later
Any ideas?

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

How can I programmatically install support for DAQmx Base to a PDA?

Greetings, I am developing a LabVIEW application for a PDA (HP iPAQ in this case), and a companion VI that will run on a PC. One of the things I need to do from this companion VI is provide a means of programmatically rebuilding the PDA application, including reinstalling support for DAQmx Base. I think I know how to rebuild the LabVIEW application using the Project, but I don't see how to install DAQmx Base. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

How would you programatically rebuild the PDA application? If you are interested in reinstalling the DAQmx Base driver on the device, then you will need to navigate to Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQmx Base»Utilities and launch the driver installation utility that corresponds to your device. If you are interested in doing this programatically, you could run the executable from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQmx Base\Pocket PC using the System Exec.vi. I don't think there is any other way of doing this.

Getting error -200452 using DAQmx Base Trigger (Digital Edge).

I'm trying to set up AI and counter output, and I'm using digital output as trigger for to start AI and counter at the same time. I get error 200452 "Specified property is not supported by the devise..." not consistently, but around 5 runs out of 100. Below the error description, the error box shows "This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code..." If I "Retain Wire Values" in Block Diagram, the error first appears after 'Start Digital Edge' block in top counter output line.
Using LabView 8.5 on MAC OS X and DAQmxBase 3.2
The MAC I have is not Intel base, so I can't upgrade LabView and DAQmxBase to latest version
Note: The file contains just a small portion of the program, but the rest of the program does not have any other DAQmxBase blocks accessing the channels used here in code attached.

Hi Azotov,
It looks like the DAQmx Base driver readme includes Mac OS X support for LabVIEW 8.5. Could you specify what hardware you are using?
I found one KnowledgeBase specifying that error code occurs when you try to use certain properties with certain devices. Of course, this would most likely occur every time you run the task, not 5% of the time.
Since I'm running Windows, it's a little difficult to see if you have DAQmx Base "Reset Device" functionality with that version of the driver. You might check if you can run that functionality before using your device, though.

Stand-Alone application with LabView 7.0 getting error can't find DAQmx clear task.vi

I have attempted to create a stand alone vi with the Build Application or Shared Library(dll) in LabVeiw 7.0
When I put it on another PC to test it I get the error "can't find DAQmx clear task.vi"
the other PC has Labview 7.0 and DAQmx 8.1 also.
I believe my problem is in the source tab where you are supposed to add support and dynamic vi's I have search the forums and Ni's data base and have not found a solution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi LabTech09,
When you run the executable on the other computer is when you get this error? Do you have the exact same versions of LabVIEW and DAQmx on both computers? Does the dialog allow you to navigate to the DAQmx clear task.vi? If so, you can find these VIs in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\vi.lib\DAQmx\configure\task.llb. Does the executable work on the development machine (the machine it was compiled on)?

Installing NI-DAQmx Base using a LabVIEW built installer

I am using a PDA, LabVIEW Mobile Module and the CF-6004 to perform instrument control and data acquistion for a handheld instrument I am developing. Because this instrument is going to be used by another party outside my organization, I am also supplying support software for a companion PC. The support software includes ActiveSync to connect the PC and the PDA, a LabVIEW built application for viewing the data collected by the handheld instrument, a LabVIEW built application for installing/updating the LabVIEW (Mobile Module) built PDA applications and NI-DAQmx Base to install the drivers on the PDA. Ni-DAQmx Base needs to be included because if the PDA battery runs down completely, programs/drivers I installed are lost and the other party needs to have the ability to reinstall the necessary files on the PDA.
The problem is that I cannot find a way to include NI-DAQmx Base in the installer I build to install my LabVIEW built applications onto the PC. It is not listed under the Additional Installers catagory of the installer properties. I cannot run the NI-DAQmx Base Setup.exe with the "Run executable at end of installation" option because I cannot have two LabVIEW installers running simultaneously.
Right now my work around is to use a batch file to install each component sequentially.
Is there anyway to include my my LabVIEW built executables, the Run-Time Engine and NI-DAQmx Base in the same installer package?
Thanks,
DAJone

Hello, It is necessary to install Daqmx Base on the machine connected to the PDA and then use the Utility to install it on the PDA. See page 4 of the Mobile Module Manual:

Labview 8.5 Linux, I can't use DAQmx Base constants

I'm trying to move an application from Windows to Linux, I'm running RH5 Workstation with LV 8.5 and the newest NI-DAQmx Base installed. I've created tasks using the NI DAQmx Base Task Configuration utility.
However, when I create a Task constant in my block diagram, I cannot select any tasks with it, the arrow down-button is just greyed out. The same goes for the other I/O-constants (Physical Channel constant and Device constant). I've tried typing the task name, but the program just exits with an error.
It seems as though LabView doesn't know where to get information about devices and defined tasks, do I need to do anything to tell LV where to look?
A mysterious thing though, is that I've tried running a sample program, which makes use of one of the predefined tasks and that seemed to work (at least it did not exit with an error). Even more mysterious: When I tried to run the same sample now, it tells me that it can't be opened since I'm running LV 8.2.1, even though I'm running LV 8.5.
Any ideas of what to do? Would it be meaningful to uninstall DAQmx Base and install DAQmx instead (i chose DAQmx Base since the last DAQmx-version was from 2005 or so).
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I recommend you to download the latest DAQmx driver 8.7.1 found here.

Do I need to use DAQmx Base for PDA module or DAQmx will work just fine?

Hi All,
Does PDA module work only with DAQmx Base or DAQmx as well?
hellolv

Hi hellolv,
The PDA module currently only works with DAQmx Base. If you've never used DAQmx Base before, it is actually very similar to DAQmx, and there are lots of examples out there to get you started. I recommend searching through our Example Code Library.
Thanks,

Winsockread Error in LabVIEW PDA

Hi all. I am currently trying out the VI server example given in the LabVIEW PDA toolkit but i keep getting this error "WinsockRead error Error Code: 10054.
The LabVIEW example project I am using is "VI Server- Pocket PC.lvproj" and I have loaded the "CallByRef Wave - Pocket PC.vi" into the PDA. I have a WIFI connection to a PC and have manually assigned IP address to both the PDA (192.168.100.101) and PC (192.168.100.100). I have verified my WIFI connection is working by using the "ping 192.168.100.101" command on my PC.
Also, I am configured my VI server correctly by selecting the enabling the TCP/IP protocol and ActiveX under the VI Server Configuration. The port number I used is 3363. I have also added the PDA IP address (192.168.100.101) to the Machine Access List.
When I try to run the example program on the PDA with the IP address "192.168.100.100" and a port number of 3363, I will get the error. Can anyone give advice on what I have missed out or done wrongly?
I forgot to mention that the remote program "TargetWave.vi" on the PC is loaded in memory and opened in LabVIEW also.
Thanks in advance.

D.Com,
I just thought of something else to try. You said you are using port 3363. The program was initially set up to use Port 3865. Did you change the VI server properties (From the project, right click on the my computer icon>>properties>>VI server: Configuration) to port 3363 or just the control on the front panel of the CallByRef Wave.vi? Both must be set to the same port.
Secondly, you may have to open a port in your firewall if you are using WindowsXP SP2. Initially I would completely disable the firewall and see if that solves the problem. If it does, then enable the firewall and create an exception of the port you've specified (3363).
As for using the trial version, this should have no impact on the performance of the toolkit.

LabVIEW PDA gives error 12 when opening file

I can create a file with LabVIEW PDA with Pocket PC 2003, but when I try to open the file I always receive error 12 "Some system capacity necessary for operation is not enabled."
Can someone help me to solve this error ?
thanks in advance for your help.
Nico

On the PDA, File Open returns error 12 when you are trying to open a datalog file and the datalog type you specify on the funtion does not match the datalog type on the file header.
