LV8 upgrade for cFP-2120 with LVRT 7.1

We need to update the embedded software for cFP-2120 units distributed to customers.  The units are shipped with LVRT 7.1 and the embedded programs are written in LV 7.1.   We have installed LV 8.  Can we update the LV 7.1 programs to LV 8 and then update the embedded programs on the cFP-2120?

You need to do a couple things first.  You need to perform a Mass Compile on all of your VIs to update them to LabVIEW 8.0.  Also, you need to update your cFP-2120 to RT 8.  Once you have done this, you can update the VIs on the cFP with the 8.0 ones.  Here are a couple of links to help you out.

  • Unity Connection 8.5.1ES16.11900-16 upgrade for Single Inbox with Exchange 2007 ?

    Hello friends,
    I'm currentely running Unity Connection 8.5.1ES16.11900-16.
    I would like to use the single inbox feature with Exchange 2007.
    It is in the documentation that we need at least Unity Connection 8.5(1) Service Update 1 (UCSInstall_UCOS_8.5.1.11900-21.sgn.iso).
    I downloaded, checked MD5 but when searching on the FTP directory it won't accept it (No valid upgrade options were found). Is this a supported upgrade?
    Same happens with the localization file in Portuguese that i need to install: uc-locale-pt_PT-8.5.1.1-16.cop.sng ...
    Please can you give me some hints about what I may be doing wrong?
    Thank you very much and warm regards,
    met

    Hi Met,
    Hope all is well
    I think you are hitting this caveat. Although the numbers don't match exactly I'm
    pretty sure you will need to wait for an 8.5.1.12xxx.x ES
    If the Connection server is running an engineering special with a full Cisco Unified Communications
    Operating System version number between 8.5.1.11001-x and 8.5.1.11899-x, do not upgrade the server
    to Connection 8.5(1) SU 1 because the upgrade will fail. Instead, upgrade the server with an ES released
    after 8.5(1) SU 1 that has a full Unified Communications OS version number of 8.5.1.12xxx.x or later
    to get the SU 1 functionality.

  • Do I purchase an 'upgrade' for a MacBook with nothing installed...?

    I'm about to buy a second-hand MacBook. The seller says it will come with Snow Leopard pre-installed, but will not include the disk! So if I want upgrades I need to buy a fresh disk.
    Maybe I'm searching wrong, but all I find in the store is the 'Snow Leopard upgrade'. Is that what I should buy?
    Cheers!

    The seller should be providing the original installation disks that came with the Macbook. They can get them from Apple for a small fee. Also, those disks come with the iLife suite (iPhoto, iWeb, iMovie, Guitarband, etc) and other Apple software that comes bundled with a new computer. If you don't have those disks, you cannot reinstall that software if they even put it on the computer they are selling you. It doesn't come with the OS.
    It is a violation of the Software License Agreement to run a copy of Mac OS X on more than one computer, which is most likely what they are doing. Without the disk, you can't prove you are the license holder.
    However, if you buy the Snow Leopard retail disk, you are fine installing it on you new Mac. There is nothing on the box or disk that declares that it is an 'Upgrade.' If you want the iLife suite which you should be getting from the seller, then buy the Box Set as it contains Snow Leopard and iLife and iWork (iWork does not come bundled with a new computer).

  • Measure data using RS-485 Port on cFP-2120

    I have cFP-2120 with one RS-485 Port, One RS-422 and one RS-232 Port available, i want to measure data using the exisiting RS-485 Port on cFP-2120.
    I have Rx and Tx Signals from my equipment. Two wire
    Also i have RS-485 Enabled device with 4 port availble. I want to use RS-485 connected with RJ-50.
    Also give me pinouts for Rx and Tx.
    Thanks.

    I am a little confused by your statement "I have cFP-2120 with one RS-485 Port, One RS-422 and one RS-232 Port available".  The cFP-2120 has 3 RS-232 ports and only 1 RS-485  (or RS-422).
    Look in the manual for the cFP-2120.  Here is a link. http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371380b.pdf  Pages 3-7 thru 3-10 have information and pinouts for the serial ports.  It also tells how the RS-485 port is a 4-wire port, but it can connect to a 2-wire RS-485 installation with jumpers and special programming to account for the echo back of outgoing commands.  Another alternative to 4-wire to 2-wire conversion is to get an RS-485 isolator that would have switches to set one side to 4-wire and the other side to 2-wire.  I have used this one from B&B electronics successfully.  Though you say you are using 4-wire on your device, so you would not need it unless you have the need for electrical isolation between the device and your cFP.  Perhaps the discussion of 2-wire was a misunderstanding.
    Remember that the transmit lines from your device will go to the receive lines of your cFP and vice versa.  The polarity of + and - should match between the two devices.  TX+ to RX+, TX- to RX-,  RX+ to TX+,  RX- to TX-, and GND to GND)
    As for VISA, you would just configure it like you would any RS-232 device with the baud rate, parity, and stop bits to match your device.
    Centerbolt, thanks for the kind words and posting the link to the other thread.

  • Cfp-2120 serially trasmit IO module data

    We have a  cFP-2120 with AO, DO, DI, and AI modules connected.
    All work fine.  Using Ethernet communications.
    Can apply a voltage on the AI and do a FP Read ala the example Analog Input.vi
    Receive expected measurement.
    Curious if its possible to alternatively do this with a serial connection.
    Can I send an FP Read through serial connection and read back the resulting IO module channel value through the same serial connection?

    Wes_OH - the FP-100x (As well as the cFP-180x) are not "intellegent" controllers, meaning you cannot run LabVIEW RT on the controller.  You read data from the 100x to your PC over a serial connection.  The RT controllers (like your 2120) do not send data over the serial port, they publish their I/O over Ethernet.  The serial port on the 2120s are available so your embedded application can utilize the port for serial communication, it is not intended to be used the same way as a FP-1000 or cFP-180x serial port.
    You may still be able to use the FP-1000 application with your 2120, it depends on how the FP-1000 application was written.  Is it a LabVIEW application?  Is it using the Optomux VIs to communicate with the 1000?  Or is it using the FieldPoint Write and Read VIs?  If you are using the Optomux VIs, then you cannot reuse the application because the 2120 does not have a Optomux server running on it.  If you are using the FieldPoint Read and Write VIs, then there is a good chance you can reuse that application because those VIs support Optomux (over serial) and Ethernet communication (for the 2120) depending on the I/O Point you are trying to communicate with.

  • CFP-2120 & MAX 3.1.1

    Hi all!
       I've tried to install software on cFP-2120 with my old MAX 3.1.1 from my WindowsXP-based PC.  When it comes to software choose, Real-Time is not shown among other options.  So I'm unable to install Real-time software (RT 7.1) on cFP-2120.  If I connect to a cFP-2020, I can correctly install Real-Time on target.
       To fix this, I've installed MAX 4.1, unistalled newer VISA and Serial RT software (RT 7.1 seems not compatible with SERAIL RT 3...), and installed older Serial RT and VISA on new MAX 4.1.
       Is this behaviour expected? Is there a compatibility list of cFP modules, MAX, RT software and drivers?
       Thanks everybody!

    The problem could be related to Field Point driver version.LabVIEW 7.1 and 7.1.1 RT components for the cFP-21xx were introduced with Field Point driver version 4.1.1.

  • Does the cfp 2120 have a battery backed up clock

    Hi im currently devloping the cfP 2120 with 2 relay cards a AIO card and a thermo couple card, and it will be running for long periods of time logging data and using th clock to time stamp the files, In  a standalone fasion
    In the event of a power out will the cfp2120 keep the time?
    IT will not always be conencted to a ethernet. so i wondered if there is a small litum battery backup for the RTC inside it
    many thanks,
    Chris

    Hi,
      yes there's is a single 3V lithium battery inside the cFP 2120.
    Usually you'd hook up to a time server to handle for any time slipages, or just to make sure that all the units on the network are working from the same timestamp, but if you don't want this, then set the time-server to 0.0.0.0. (You can use this to prove whether the battery is keeping the time by setting it to 0.0.0.0, then run some code to write a file (it will be timestamped, or but the current time into the text of the file) and then switch it off for a couple of minutes. On power up, check the time again.)

  • I've imported a giant cd collection for my work in wav format for the best quality audio using iTunes version 11.1.1.  I need to transfer this library to our Music workstation using iTunes 11.0.1.  That workstation version of iTunes can't be upgraded for

    I've imported a giant cd collection for my boss in wav format for the best quality audio using iTunes version 11.1.1.  I need to transfer this library to our Music workstation using iTunes 11.0.1.  That workstation version of iTunes can't be upgraded for compatability reasons with other software using iTunes.  When I try to transfer the library I lose all of the CD metadata and end up with only track names.  Is there a way to transfer everything along with the metadata?

    Not easily.  WAV format does not store tag information in the file.  Realize both AIFF (equivalent to WAV) and Apple Lossless (full quality but smaller files) do, so WAV was unfortunately the worst format to chose.
    If you have to go with what you have you will have to explore exporting the library as .xml, moving it and the files to the other computer, then rebuilding a lower version library with the two sets.  I am not sure if you can do it with the library.xml file that already exists or if it too differs according to version.  You may end up having to export the files as a playlist.  You will, of course, lose artwork too, though you can try fetching it from the iTunes Store later.
    Some of what you need to do is outlined in these articles though you have the added limitation that you are not building a library of the same version.  (It really is a piity you choose WAV, otherwise you could have simply added the ripped files and most of the data would have traveled with them.)

  • Problem with slow execution on a cFP-2120

    I have an application that runs on a cFP-2120, using web interface for the user to interact with the program.
    I have noticed that in order to get the web interface to get updated I have to use property nodes and write to the value property, see this article:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/FC5024A5DD6344C886256C8C0054689B?OpenDocument
    However, this seems to give me a serious performance hit, as described here:
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=153531&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
    I have tested with this code, and with my LV 8.2 a loop that uses 277ms to complete when writing directly to a indicator will use 203159ms when using a property node.
    So, I need to update several front panel objects using the value property, but can't afford the cpu time. Does anyone have a suggestion how to do this as efficiently as possible? The problem is apparantly that using the value property requires the front panel to be loaded - can I for instance avoid doing this once for each variable?

    I've changed the vi now so it only writes to value property when a value has changed. This has cut execution time in half, from 500ms to 250ms. I still think this is quite a lot...
    To give you an indication of "size", the executeable is 1210kb with 2 dll's of 872 and 168kb.
    I've not tried deploying a smaller (cut down?) version - what exactly do you mean?
    With regards to writing to value instead of locals or directly - I've had problems with the values not updating - but not always - and the first link does suggest a bugfix. I'd like to know why wiring to value property is sometimes needed and sometimes not.

  • Communicating with serial peripherals via cFP 2120

    Hi, I'm using a cFP 2120 for taking measurements from RTD's and I connected the cFP to my PC using an ethernet cable. Since I have to read data also from a temperature controller which communicates using a serial port RS232, I want to know if I can plug it to the cFP, and how can I configure it with MAX or read from LW.
    Thanks
    sandrino82

    I have several applications that do this very thing.
    You can use the RS232 port on the cFP to talk to your instrument.   There are a couple of issues to consider.   The cFP does not have a VISA Server in it.  That means that the cFP can't make the COM port available to the network.  The cFP COM port must be accessed by a vi running on the cFP and the data passed on to the remote PC.  The COM port should always be fully configured by your vi.  There is no need to use MAX.
    Can you describe your existing software?  Does it include a host and target?

  • How do I upgrade my MacBook Air with the same IOS as my iMac without paying twice for it?

    Hello! I have a question concerning IOS 7 upgrade for my MacBook Air which I have already on my iMac. Know it must be possible  without paying twice for it, but I have forgotten how? Can anyone help?

    iOS is the operating system for iPhones, iPads, etc.
    Mac OS is the operating system for Mac computers.
    Which version of Mac OS are you running on your iMac? (You're not running iOS6 on it.)
    If you purchased that OS from the app store, then you can download it to as many computers as you own or control (including your Macbook Air). However, if your iMac came preinstalled with the current OS, then the license is only good for that computer and you must buy it for any other computer.

  • Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

  • I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my simplePass identity protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE.

    I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my HP SimplePass Identity Protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE. It worked with the previous Firefox version but now when I use the internet, it doesn't even acknowledge I have the scanner. When I run my finger over it, it opens the settings panel but does not allow use of the already saved information or allow new information to be entered. I need this corrected. Any suggestions?

    I asked this same question, and just received a response:
    "Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases
    for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for
    Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do
    not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep
    DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona
    is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications.
    In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after
    Mid-April of this year.

    In other words, there will be NO update.
