Menu Position on TPC-2012 (LabVIEW Touch Panel Module)

Hi
Windows CE on the TPC 2012 places the menu on the top but the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module 8.2.1 places it at the bottom. I would expect that LabVIEW handles that the same way than the operating system?

Hi Mohammed,
Windows CE 6.0 is not officially supported by the Touch Panel Module (see this link for more info and what is supported). Other members on our forums (link) have tried working with CE 6.0 but since it isn't officially supported and you're still in the planning stage of your application, it might be better to choose a HMI that is directly supported.

LabVIEW Touch Panel Module for Linux

Hi,
Does NI released Touch Panel Module for Linux?
Thanks,
Ali

Hi Dennis,
Here is the article I read about LabVIEW Embedded Development Module. Page 1-1, "Taking Your Graphical Design to Any 32-Bit Microprocessor".
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371233b.pdf
About the topic you are right. I have the VI on Windows XP. I converted it to WinCE 5.0 with LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and it works perfectly. I have LabVIEW for Linux and I converted the VI to Linux and it works on PC. Now, I want to convert it to Embedded Linux that works on ARM microcontroller.
I am looking for LabVIEW Touch Panel Module for Linux because the only supported platform for that is Windows.

LabVIEW Touch Panel Reliability

Hello,
We are looking to develop an Induatrial Controller similar to PLC with a WinCE operating system. How reliable and practical is this approach? We want to use Touch Panel module to develop applications and deploy on it. The I/O will controlled through custom drivers, which will be accessed by touch panel through call library nodes.
any input is appriciated.

Good Morning Jaggs,
You can certainly implement a WinCE-only PLC-like system. The entry level will be one of our Touch Panel Controllers (WinCE - TPC-2106 and TPC-2012, XPe - TPC-2512). These do not have much processing power or many I/O options.
We also offer Panel PCs (PPC-2015 and PPC-2115). These run Windows XP and are more similar to a PC than a touch panel but they have a built in touch screen. Though they have the built-in screen, they are not overly rugged.
But remember that you have to pay a huge license fee each time ship software without the NI hardware mentioned by AE Charlie. That is if the software is developed by the Labview Touch Panel module. I do not remember the sum but it was almost as much as for a PC Real-Time desktop runtime license. In the RT case you have to pay for the RTOS. But this is not the case with Touch Panel Module. Talk about showstopper, and really stupid license policy. If you don not buy our NI hardware. We will hit you so hard in the wallet, that you change your mind. Besides the NI Touch Panel Controllers is just some OEM versions from a major manufacturer.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Difference between LV PDA module and touch-panel module

What is the difference between LabView's PDA module and touch-panel module? I want to recompile my application developed on a Win XP environment for a touch-screen single board computer running Win CE. From what I have read, it seems like both PDA module and the touch-panel module would be able to do the task - but what is the difference between the two modules?

sstolteq:
The LabVIEW PDA Module allows you to create applications that run on Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC devices. It is also compatible with several NI data acquisitions devices, including the USB-6008, USB-6009, CF-6004,
DAQCard-6062E, DAQCard-6024E, and the DAQCard-6036E.
The LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, on the other side, allows you to create human-machine interface (HMI) applications to
communicate with NI embedded real-time platforms such as Compact
FieldPoint, CompactRIO, and Compact Vision System. It is optimized for developing
HMIs to Windows CE touch panel devices such as the NI TPC-2006.
I hope this helps and please let me know if I can help further.

Rudi N.

Touch panel module

I have a host application (.exe) running on a desktop that interfaces with my cRIO via Network Variables. I want to move this host application to a touch panel, either one of NI's panels or a third party. Why would I need to purchase the Touch Panel Module to support my host application on a touch panel running XPe? Can't I build a distributable executable to deploy to the touch panel?

Hey,
I don't completely agree with royalcow. Please have a look at the article Running LabVIEW on Windows XP Embedded.
The article says:
NOTE: Using LabVIEW with Windows XP Embedded is unsupported. The exceptions are, Windows XP Embedded is supported for use with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module.
royalcow is right that when using a NI Touchpanel you will need the LabVIEW TouchPanel Modul to have the appropriate target in your lvproj.
Because of that I was asking what kind of Touchpanel you are using.
LabVIEW is not supported for Windows XP Embedded, this is a fact.
Thanks,
Christian

LabVIEW Touch Panel -- I can not get activesync to connect between the TPC-2012 and my XP workstation. There is no USB client connection on TPC-2012

How do I get the TPC-2012 to connect to my workstation? I have read all the hardware manuals, getting started manuals: nothing works. The remote access using http://x.x.x.x/RemoteAdmin does not work. I have tried to get the FTP service working using the instructions in "How do I configure the FTP server on tpc-2006 and TPC-2016" . Active sync seems to want a USB connection only. I have tried to connect a serial line between com1 on the TPC and com4 on my XP workstation with no results.
I have been able to use the touch panel module with my iPAQ. It worked flawlessly the first time.
Help!

Hi David,
thank you once again for your help.
So when viewing your Local Area Connection>>Status
you're seeing data packets sent but no packets received on your desktop
machine? - Yes
Is your desktop configured with a static IP address or is it
configured to obtain an IP address automatically?I' ve tried both static IP address and that it obtain IP address automatically, I have also done it with the TPC.
Also, does your TPC
get a valid IP address when the connection to your desktop is present? - when TPC is set to obtain adress automatically it gets IP address and then after some time it loses it - it is set to 0.0.0.0, and then it obtains the IP adress again and so on.
Can you provide the address, subnet, and gateway you're getting for
both machines?- I've done it, but it didn'e help
Also any firewall settings or exceptions you may have
active if the firewall is enabled? - firewall is disabled
I'd also like to know what
modules and toolkits you do have installed on both the TPC - TPC is new and I haven't installed there anything.
On my desktop - I have standard Labview 8.2,the real time module is installed. All I know, there are already drivers for TPC2012 in this LabView version. On the included CD I have only drivers for another TPCs.
Thanks,
Martin

Touch Panel Module or LabVIEW SDK

Hello,
We can use Touch panel module to target Windows CE Boards and LabVIEW SDK to target any 32bit Processor boards (includes Linux Boards). Which one is better for embedded development?
SDK is very expensive and probably hard to program than a Windows CE board. Can anyone please let me know the best approach? Please let me know if Linux is better or Windows CE. I am looking to program any off the shelf I/O board which supports Windows CE or Linux, but want to get some guidance regarding the approach towards the LabVIEW software module and the Embedded OS approach before spending time.
Thanks.

While the Touch Panel Module can technically connect to most Windows CE devices, it is actually made specifically for our NI Touch Panel devices. Because of this, it is not supported for other devices and you may have unexpected behavior. Your better bet (if possible) is to use Windows Mobile 6 on your device and then use the LabVIEW Mobile Module. Also, I'm not sure how flexible your embedded solution is, but you also have the option to use the LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM controllers.

Using Color Box controls in Touch Panel Module

Hello,
I am attempting to change the background color of my touchscreen panel (tpc-2006) when a certain value increases past 5. I have successfullly done this using color box controls, but Labview will not allow me to deploy it to the touch panel. I am guessing color box controls simply do not work with the touch panel module. Am I wrong about this, or is there another way to change the color of the screen?
Attached are the VI and the lvproj files. The color changing works fine if the VI is open only. Errors result if the lvproj file is used, because it specifies that the VI gets deployed to a touch panel.
I am using Labview 8.5, with the Touch Panel Module 8.5, on Win XP.
Thanks!

Thank you, tst.
I tried your solution using the select control and writing directly to the color box. This works great on my desktop, and it even deploys to the TPC.
However, it does not work at all on the touch-panel. The screen remains black and does not change.
Any other ideas?

Set column width of a multicolumn listbox in LV touch panel module

Hello,
I am trying to build an application using LV Touch panel module 8.6 and I am having a problem with multicolumn listboxes. I am setting the the width of the columns by clicking and dragging the separator between the headers, but when I transfer and run my application to a winCE controller the width of the columns is the same for all columns (and very narrow actually).
Does anyone know something about it?
I also noticed the following two problems. When I transfer my application in the winCE controller, the line and column separators are disappeared and the column headers are also disappeared, although I have set them to be visible in my vi.
Thanks in advance.

The issues that you are having are because the LV touch
panel Module does not support "Moveable column separators" and
"Row and column headers". The limitations of using a touch panel are available
in the LabVIEW help file.
A possible workaround may be to use a series of arrays with a string data
type then using a single scrollbar control multiple property nodes.
I have attached an example.
I hope this has helped.

Dot net dll and touch panel module

Hi all,
Is there any possibility to use a dot net dll with the touch panel module on LabView 2011?
Thanks in advance...

This appears to be related to this:http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/call-dll-function-on-Windows-CE6-0-Device/m-p/2092170
Since you already know that the device would be running Windows CE or Windows Embedded Standard, the question is really can Windws CE or Windows Embedded Standard use .NET? Not sure why you are asking this on a National Instruments forum, since it's a Windows question. I do know that .NET compact is available. Have no idea how well it works.

TPC 2215, new touch panel does not run normal labview programs?

We recently bought a PC (PPC-2115, normal win-XP) from NI for an industrial application. Now we heard that that unit is discontinued soon, so repair service will be very limited. We want to change to another iPC. NI suggests TPC-2215 touch panel with windows-7 embedded. But then they say that we need a special Touch Panel license to make exe-files for this PC.
If this is true it makes the TPC 2215 a very bad choice for us. Both that we have to pay a new licence, but most that new introduce a new taget. The exe-file we make for the TPC-2215 cannot be run on any normal PC (during tests, as backup if the TPC needs service etc.). Since we already have a bunch of normal iPC (different brands, including NI) we have to compile every program twice, one for touch panel, and one for normal labview runtime.
So is it really true that a normal labview program "hello-world.exe" will not run on the new TPC-2215?
(sampe question would apply to TPC-2206 and TPC-2212)

I can now confirm that I can use our normal license to make normal windows executable files. So I am happy!
Only the disk is a little too small, but I heard that should be changed soon.

Hi,
When you started up the TPC with the CompactFlash card in - did it recognise the file? I have done this today on a TPC - and on boot it says 'Reading XIP.NB0'.
Once it finishes I get a message saying I need to remove the CompactFlash and reboot? Have you seen any of this - or does it just boot in the normal way (as if the CF card wasn't there).
Did you copy the XIP.NB0 file across correctly, If you view it on the PC with a card reader does it appear? Is the CF card blank apart from this file?
Can you give me some more info about the process you've followed - this worked first time for me
