Lookout communication with FieldPoints

I have taken over this location and I have very little to no documentation as to what does what on the Fieldpoint I/O's. I am up against the Software license limit of 100 I/O points. Currently my process is outdated and I have a need to add I/O's for additional functions. I tried to delete unused/un-needed Lookout control panel objects in order to reduce the I/O count but was not successful. Most objects could not be deleted "due to dependencies". In some cases, I was able to delete objects but the I/O count stayed at 100. The manual offered no help.
New plan: start a new process.
I copied the syntax for each of the Lookout control panel objects that I wanted to keep from the old process that I wanted to use in the new process. I did this for each control panel in my new process to get the functionality just the way I needed it.
When done, having eliminated all of the no-longer needed I/O's, I had expected to see the I/O count around 50 which would allow for new required functionality. This all sounded good on paper.
However, my new process will not communicate with any FieldPoint I/O's, (I/O count =0), unless I have the old process and the new process running simultaneously. Then the I/O count is 100 and my new process communicates just fine, but having the old process running defeats the purpose of creating the new process. That is to eliminate un-used I/O points to make room for new I/O functionality and stay under the 100 I/O limit. Although, I am able to save my new process, (which is less than 100 I/O), when it runs simultaneously with the old process, the 100 I/O limit is exceeded and Lookout defaults to Demo Mode, which is limited to 60 minutes of operation.
Obviously somewhere in the old process is some kind of enable instruction for the Field points, that I don't have in the new process, but I do not have a clue as to where to look or what to look for. Again the manual did not offer any help.
The FieldPoint units that we are using are: FP DI 301, 330, FP DO 401, and FP AI 110, along with the FP 1001 serial network modules

Logos for communication between Fieldpoint modules?

I have a system with two Fieldpoint network modules: one FP2000 and one FP1601. I am presently using datasocket calls using the lookout protocol for the FP2000 to read/write the I/O items on the FP1600. There is normally no PC connected to the two. Our NI salesperson visited today and told me that the recommended means of communication between Fieldpoint network modules is using Logos. He also mentioned using the "FieldPoint Publish Data" vi. I searched all the documentation I have and can't find anything on Logos, or any way to make any sense out of what he said. Can someone please tell me exactly what he meant and how I would implement it? I have LabView RT and FieldPoint Explorer, but no other software.

Richard,
Logos is the name for the NI Ethernet Protocol. It was originally developed for networking of computers using Lookout. Using DataSocket with the Lookout URL specifier, is instructing the DataSocket client to use the logos protocol or lookout protocol (the terms are interchangeable). The FieldPoint Publish Data.vi is a VI that can be run on embedded targets (e.g. (c)FP-20xx series) that can be used to make data available via the NI Ethernet protocol. For example, if you measured two sensors and calculated a value from the two sensors, you could use the Publish Data.vi to make the calculation result available from the FP-2000.

How do I move Lookout 5 w/ Fieldpoint 3 to a new PC

I want to move my install of Lookout 5 from an old, slow computer to a newer, faster one. Both machines run Windows 2000 SP4. I have a clean install of Lookout 5 and Fieldpoint 3 on the new machine, and the old machine still works and is running on the same network subnet. In addition to lookout.sec (in the Windows system folder), what else do I need to move to bring up my system on the new machine? Are there registry keys that need export/import? Which folders (by default, at least) need to be copied?
Thanks!!

Besides .l4p .l4t .lks .lka files, you need to copy the database folder to the new machine. And then create a new database on the new machine with the data.

How can I configure labview for communication with Modbus I/O?

i read a article about configureing Labview for communication with modbus I/O in NI developer zone, but it was written for Labview 6, how can I configure it with labview 7. it seems there are some difference. Thanks!

In both LabVIEW 6 and 7, you connect to modbus using Lookout Protocol Drivers (LPD) and then communicate to LPD using the tag engine of LabVIEW DSC or through DataSocket.

Error communicating Labview with Fieldpoint hardware

Hi,
I run Labview in conjunction with the Fieldpoint hardware. Upon reinstalling the labview program after a computer crash, I am no longer able to re-establish the communication with the Fieldpoint hardware. It seems to be a driver problem but I am not able to pin point exactly the problem. This is the error message when the software "SHIME" was run:
Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vi: Open File.
Possible reasons:
LABVIW: file not found. Or
NI-488: non-existent board.
I greatly appreciate any suggestions for trouble shooting.
Sincerely,
Trisna

Hi Aaron,
thanks for the advice. In fact I was just trouble shooting the problem with an advisor/technician from National Instruments and he confirmed the same thing that there is no problem between the communication of the computer and Fieldpoint. It is more of the problem with the software itself. I am running a software called "SHIME" that stands for simulated human intestinal microbial ecosystem but I couldn't locate any open.vi or auto.vi file on the CD; you mentioned looking for something in the software.
I am communicating with the people who sold us the SHIME system and I appreciate your advice.
Sincerely,
Trisna

Communicating with cFP 1808

How can I communicate from a vi running embaded on cFP 2020 to data chanels from cFP 1808 module. I am using LabVIEW and RT module 7.1 ver.

Hello dksharma,
This is Dominic L. from Applications Engineering at National Instruments. How would you like to communicate between the cFP-2020 and cFP-1808 module? Two methods of communication can be used: ethernet or serial. I would recommend using ethernet simply because it is faster. Once deciding to use ethernet, you can choose a protocol: OPC, FieldPoint API/driver, or Modbus. I believe Modbus is the fastest protocol. To help you get started you can search the discussion forum for more information on FieldPoint and Modbus.
The cFP-1808 module requires FieldPoint 4.1.2 or later. If possible, I would work with FieldPoint 5 because that would allow you to use simple FP-read and FP-write VIs rather than making your 1808 a Modbus slave (with older drivers).

I want to pass along a couple of tips that will get you more and better response on this list.
1) There is an un-written rule that says more "stars" is better than just one star. Giving a one star rating will probably eliminate that responder from individuals that are willing to anser your question.
2) If someone gives you an answer that meets your needs, reply to that answer and say that it worked.
3) If someone suggests that you look at an example, DO IT! LV comes with a wonderful set of examples that demonstate almost all of the core functionality of LV. Familiarity with all of the LV examples will get you through about 80% of the Certified LabVIEW Developer exam.
4) If you have a question first search the examples for something tha
t may help you. If you can not find an example that is exactly what you want, find one that is close and post a question along the lines of "I want to do something similar to example X, how can I modify it to do Y".
5) Some of the greatest LabVIEW minds offer there services and advice for free on this exchange. If you treat them good, they can get you through almost every challenge that can be encountered in LV.
6) If English is not your native language, post your question in the language you favor. There is probably someone around that can help. "We're big, we're bad, we're international!"

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed..."

I realize my explanation of my problem is long-winded, so if you want a shortened version, here it is:
I've followed all the instructions trying nearly everything, and no matter what I do, iTunes gives me the error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." My G5 iPod (60GB) works on two other computers (both without any music on them), so I assume there something wrong with my computer and not the iPod itself.
Now for the long-winded story of the last eight hours of my life...
I just got the Generation-5 iPod Video (60GB) a today and I'm having problems already. I followed the instructions and installed the iPod software and then plugged in my iPod (iTunes has been on my computer for a while now). I was expecting iTunes to open after plugging in the iPod, but my device manager only detected and installed "a new device". I manually opened iTunes and got an error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
After re-installing the iPod software and iTunes, and restarting my computer countless times, I came looking for help here. I found this page, which seemed to outline my problem exactly. My computer recognizes the iPod as a drive, but iTunes won't have anything to do with it. I have all the symptoms outlined in the heading, so I hoped to solve my problem there. I followed the instructions step-by-step, and after the final restart, I open iTunes to get the same exact error message.
I decided to determine whether there was a problem with my iPod or if it was my computer. I plugged my iPod into my uncles's powerbook, and got to the point where I can name and configure my iPod. I expected it to work flawlessly on a Mac (which it did) but there is no way for me to continue using a Mac (after tomorrow) for my iPod. This formatted the iPod for a Mac, so I went to another (different from the original) Windows computer, clean of any iTunes and iPod software, and followed the instructions exactly as they're supposed to be followed. After the installations, I plugged in my iPod, and although iTunes didn't open, I was able to format back to Windows and name my iPod (a step in the right direction). I should note that my (anti-iPod) computer is a Windows XP Pro, and the working one is Windows XP Home Edition. This was all well and good, until I remembered there was no music on this computer. So my iPod is completely working there, but there isn't anything I can do with it.
Next, I came back here and browsed around the discussion boards, hoping to find somebody with a similar problem to mine. There seems to be alot of errors concerning iTunes not recognizing the iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked for me, including changing the drive letter. I get the "iPod Service Error" while trying to restore to factory settings through iPod updater.
Of course, I could transfer all 32GB of music from one computer to another, but the second (working) computer isn't mine and I won't have access to it in a couple months. It would be most convenient if I could get my iPod working on my own computer. Any help would be appreciated, especially from somebody who has solved this problem or know how to solve this problem.
P.S.
Here are some other minor details that my be important, but I didn't feel they were worth including.
- My brother has his iPod mini set up on my computer, under a different user login. He gets the same error once in a while, but re-installing iTunes always solves the problem for him. I had him try solving my problem his way, but nothing worked for him either.
- My computer is an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 512MB RAM with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. My internal hard drive is partitioned, using the letters C, D and H (C being my system files, D used for recovery files and H for my applications and games). My E drive is used as a DVD/CD-ROM Drive, and drives F and G are reserved for virtual drives (none have been running during this entire ordeal). My external hard drive uses the letter I, and I manually set my iPod to use the letter J (I've never used 'J' for anything else before).
- Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software.
- I'm assuming there is a problem with my computer and not my iPod, since it worked on both other computers I tried. I'm hoping it's as simple as changing a registry file or cleaning out (yet another) temp directory.

Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
Here is what worked.
1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
2. Log in as an Administrator
3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
3.2 Type in "regedit".
3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
3.4.5 Hit "OK".
3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
3.4.8 Hit "OK".
3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
I think that's all that's required, but I also searched through the registry and deleted the following keys.
4. Other keys I deleted:
4.1 HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1
4.2 HKEYLOCALMACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Apple Computer Inc. --> iPod
I think that's all I deleted, but I'm not positive. I seached for instances of "ipod" using the Find... and Find Next functions under the Edit menu.
5. Exit out of the registry editor.
6. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
Hopefully this helps!
Apple support people: assuming this works, please add it to your solutions page, and feel free to reimburse me for spending half of Christmas figuring this out.

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
"How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

There is a problem communicating with the printer.

I have a Lexmark Interpret S405. I am using a MBP laptop with WiFi, running 10.5.8. I have a cabled (non-wifi) Linsys router. I am using an Airport Express.
I was finally able to get the WiFi light on the Lexmark to be static green after reinstalling the Lexmark WiFi setup and reconfiguring my Airport settings so that both the computer and printer see each other.
In fact, I even updated the driver from Lexmark's Web site last night and I watched the WiFi light on the printer blink green indicating that the installation of the driver update was being communicated to the printer.
However, when I print, it opens the print window and says first "Looking for S300-S400", then it says "Printer is now online". Then after about 10 seconds, I get this error: "There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
I've exhausted Lexmark's technical databases and couldn't find the answer here.
I've read that one possible solution was to delete all the printers from the "Print & Fax" system preferences window and re-add. That didn't work.
Lexmark says for: The printer communicating on a network; however, the printer is not responsive. Possible causes could be:
1. Your printer is associated with a network, router, or access point, but it is not your network.
2. A software process is blocked by a system security firewall preventing network communication.
3. You are logged into Virtual Private Network (VPN).
4. You are connected to a network but have decided to switch to a USB connection.
I don't have a VPN and have removed the USB cable, then restarted both printer and computer, and deleted printers in Sys Prefs, restarted, and still no solution.
I can print directly via USB cable, but want to print wirelessly.
Lexmark also says to enter my PIN (which I have pulled out from the print menu screen on the printer) in the System. That tells me a lot...
Network settings on the print window on the printer also tell me Signal strength is 5 (excellent) and that I am on the network my airport is on.
Message was edited by: Macman17

I bet this is too late but...
Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

ITunes Seem to Have Suddenly Stopped Communicating With the CD/DVD Burner

Hello, I wonder if anybody can help - my itunes application seems to have suddenly stopped communicating with my laptop's cd/dvd burner
(Generic Name (E: H - T-S D D A S - 20N ATA Device)).
About 2 years ago, I have experienced a similar problem, but was able to resolve it by downloading 64-bit compatible GEAR drivers to my system. However, the problem has re-appeared when I have updated to iTunes Version 10.1. Funny enough, the cd/dvd burner started getting recognized again when I updated to iTunes Version 10.2, but halfway through me burning a large playlist to multiple cds has suddenly stopped recognizing the cd/dvd burner again, and has never "resolved itself" ever since.
I have tried multiple approaches to solving this issue, including completely re-installing itunes software and completely re-installing GEAR drivers, but nothing works. I have even tried uninstalling GEAR drivers completely, as I read that it worked for someone on one of the similar forums, but that didn't work either.
My itunes diagnostics runs all the points of the cd/dvd drive check successfully, except for the last point (Can Not Read Audio CD). Here's what the diagnostics summary looks like:

I have noticed that the diagnostics summary containes a suggestion to update firmware of my laptop's cd/dvd drive, but currently there are no such firmware updates available.
Another frustrating issue that I ran into was trying to convey this issue to Apple Technical Support via e-mail using the Express Lane for the troubleshooting issues. I really fail to understand why I am being asked for the "hardware serial number" when I'm clearly choosing the categories for "iTunes/CD-DVD Import Issues" which are software, not hardware, categories! This prevents me from being able to simply send the description of my problem to the correct Apple Support department, and does not let me do that even when I enter my itunes' Serial Number, which can be found in the diagnostics summary provided above.
Much Thanks to anyone who can provide any kind of helpful advice, even if it's just on how to be able to convey this problem to Apple Support via e-mail!

Okay ... checking something else:
Current user is not an administrator
Is that true? Or do you in fact have a Windows user account with full administrative rights?
(It's possible that a permission may have gone astray in your usual user account, which might be causing the burning issues.)

SOLUTION to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not insta

Folks, I can not take credit for this.....you should send your checks to MarkinMadison. I've included his post in it's entirety. For me, this was the Holy Grail !!
My only comment is make sure when you are in the registry that you hit the "apply" button to change and add things.
This probably won't solve everyone's problem but it clearly solved mine (and I tried all other "solutions"), as well as Mark's.
Apple: please find out who MarkinMadison is and either cut him a big check or offer him free Ipods for life.

I have also posted the same question, earlier today. I purchased two for my children and cannot get the iPod to communicate with the computer. I have the iTunes software on my system, but during the installation process I cannot click the NEXT button, once I plug the iPod cable in. The computer does not detect it. I have tried all 6 USB 2.0 ports. I even removed the Dell Jukebox and MusicMatch programs. I am not a computer savvy person - just a mom who wants to give these to my children for Christmas. This is the first "chat" site I have even registered on. I am so very frustrated. Hopefully, this can be resolved.

"An error occurred in the communication with the BW server"

Hi, when I open BEx Analyzer and try to connect to my BW server to run a query, I get this message, "An error occurred in the communication with the BW server".
Can someone help me.
thanks
Pat.

If it's happening consistently, it could be a problem with your local m/cs MS office and/or SAP GUI.
If it was working before:
1) Uninstall SAP GUI and MS office.
2) Install MS Office and SAP GUI...then try to connect to BW.
Good luck, BB

3) On the window Home of Common Services I have message "JRM server is down or inaccessible for this user"
I try reinstall last modules Campus Manager 4.0.13,
Device Fault Manager 2.0.13,
CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.6.
But it cannot help me.
I think that this problems related. Yesterday all works correctly.
Thank you for your help.

You are right the problem was related with antivirus.
After removal antivirus DCA Server started successfully.
Remains the question as to be without an antivirus program?
Also remains a problem in the window Alerts and Activites.
When I click on the Device Name field (for some devices) does not open Detailed Device View.
The window closes immediately after opening.
