Mobile Module to be Discontinued

I have just received my Quarterly Developer Suite update (which is about to become a bi-annual update) and I read with interest that the Mobile Module Deployment Option is to be discontinued.
Does anybody know what NI's plans are for supporting portable devices?
Are they hammering in the final nail of mobile support or are they going to release a new toolkit with WM7, iPhone, Android support?

Hi ssk,
At this point I have no further information on the development of a new Mobile Module and I'm afraid I can't speculate on what products will be available.
The best thing to do is keep an eye on the NI site and and your email updates for more information on new products and releases.

Mobile module modbus I/O Server

Hi,
Is it possible to establish a communiccation with modbus protocol between the PDA (master) and the slave device via WIFI connection?
I like to do this with configuring the I/O Server, not with the modbus library.
Best regards,
Zdenko.

Hello,
I am sorry to give you a negative answer to your question.
I have LabVIEW Mobile module 2009 and DSC and a PDA target does not support I/O Server.
I have also installed modbus library, but some functions and proprieties under library's vi s are not supported under mobile target.
Probabily you could develop very low level code for mobile to implement modbus server, but it's very complicated.

Unflatten From String Not Functioning in Mobile Module 2011

Mobile Module does not get updated since version 2011. I am not sure my question will be solved.
I have been using Simple Messaging Reference Library (STM) for a couple of years. I use them in my Mobile Module code too. It has been working fine until lately I updated to the latest version of STM.
I noticed that 'Read Message (TCP).vi' was not functioning properly in the Mobile Module code. After a long debugging, I found the source of the problem. 'Unflattern From String.vi' does not work in Mobile Module any more. I did a test as shown above.
My questions are
1). 'Unflattern From String' was changed so it is not supported in Mobile Module 2011?
2) Why the same code worked before, but not now?
I use LabVIEW 2011 and Mobile Module 2011. Thanks.

Is that the real code or just a mockup to demonstrate the issue? I'm asking because the code is set up to run once and then wait until the stop button is pressed. Then the VI will complete and exit. Is the the desired behavior?

HTC PDA deployment problem using Mobile Module

Hi all,
I am trying to connect my HTC PDA Kaiser (TyTN II) to a customized device using the miniUSB port. This PDA runs Windows Mobile 6, I am using Labview 8.6 (and I am using the Mobile Module - former PDA module) on Windows Vista.
However, I am having a couple of issues trying to do this. Initially I am trying to discover, if the application deployed on the PDA using Mobile Module sees the miniUSB port as a virtual COM port (or serial). This would make my job much easier.
Nevertheless, way before that, I simply cannot deploy my application on the PDA because there are two files missing during the building process(attached file): windows.h and commctrl.lib, according to the message error.
I was trying to follow the simple tutorial on http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371296d.pdf but the deployment process stops when I get this message. I installed all the necessary files (Virtual PC 2007, Windows Mobile Device Center and I think LV does the rest) and of course the mobile module. I read about the installation known issues, uninstalling Visual Studio 2008, reinstalling Labview like some of the threads suggested (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&requireLogin=False&thread.id=132656) and still didn't work. I wouldn't go that far to reinstall Windows, would I?
I know that it might be something related to a wrong path according to the attached log error file during the C generation code, however I am still not sure what's the path supposed to be!
Does anyone could give any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Edgar Charry

Hi Anna,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is Windows Vista 32-bit Home.
Certainly the reason is that the builder looks after these two files, that simply doesn't exist. I know it, because I looked for them, and found on the PocketPC2003 - smartphone folder (..\Labview 8.6\PDA\Utilities\VC\Smartdevices\SDK\PocketPC2003\include and lib). And the only one I can at least emulate is indeed the PocketPC2003 SmartPhone!
So, if your emulator for the Windows Mobile 6 platform works (emulates any VI), could you please give me the correct path of the Windows Mobile 6 and also the files? Here I have: ..\Labview 8.6\PDA\Utilities\VC\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC\Deviceemulation\Pocket_PC (and a couple of others, which are pretty much empty - no header files or libraries there, just the PNG files of the figures of the emulators). That's it.
I tried copying the lib and the include folders there, but also didn't work....
Thanks Anna,
Edgar Charry

Call precompiledDll in mobile module

Hi,
I need to call the precompiled dll in my mobile project.
I got struck while building the application its gives a "error missing vi or c file"
I have no idea what to do.since i am new to this.
what method i need to follow to call the precompiled dll and make my mobile app working?
Pls.help me on this
Regards,
Vidura.

Are you saying that the problem is that you are calling a library from a VI ona PC (which works fine) but when you call the same library from a mobile moduleVI, you get the build error?
Just as you are saying, I call the library (the stubbed library i madefor Win32) from a VI on the PC and it works fine
when i do it from a mobile module VI, it doesn’t even build (always using thestubbed library) because when using the ARM library i get an error thatthe library wasn’t made for Windows, which I already know because i made thelibrary for an ARM processor and already tested it with a C++ program made inVisual Studio.
That’s why I ended making a stub dll but with no luck so far.
magicofavalon1
It may also be that you need to reference the location of the libraryand manually copy it to the LabVIEW mobile device before you build it.
i already have the library in the mobile device, but I’m using in thecall library node the location to the stub dll in my PC. Is it really necessaryto build the application to have the mobile device connected to the PC becausei haven’t had it like the last 100 times i tried to build it? Anyways Thanksfor your help, I’ll try this tomorrow at first hour (at my job), and maybe youcan understand me better with the explanation i gave you right now.

Limitations in Mobile Module

I have ported several large applications from Windows to LabVIEW RT and it was fairly simple. All the changes that had to be done were backwards compatible (i.e. the RT code can run on Windows as well, so you end up with 1 multitarget code) and without any loss of functionality.
I expected to run into a similar situation with the Mobile Module...but for some reason the limitations on the code are much more serious. Is this really necessary? Is VxWorks e.g. so much more flexible than CE 6.0, or is this an artificial limitation to make the RT platform more attractive when competing with SBCs running CE?
Something as basic as file constants (current VI's path e.g.) are not available (but it seems that it could have been; there is another function that returns system paths...so why not make it transparent that you run on a PDA target?), and another very big disappointment was the fact that the Run Method is not supported (I use it all the time for dynamic instantiation).
Limitations that can be fixed with cross-target compatible changes (like the use of pow instead of ** in function nodes e.g.) would not be that bad to handle, but the way the PDA module is now I'm left with two options; either rebuild the application from scratch (hopefully the required minimum functionality can be made) - or go for a Windows Embedded target instead.

Hi Terry,
What exact error are you getting? Posting the application (if possible) and a screenshot of the error would be helpful.

LabVIEW Mobile Module

Does LabVIEW Mobile Module support Window CE 6.0 R3 version? What are the hardware requirements?
Also, is it compatible with CPU Marvel PXA310 or PXA 320?

LabVIEW Mobile Module ... obsolete?

So I have been looking at the LabVIEW Mobile Module. It seems like an interesting tool. The main product page says you can "use the LabVIEW Mobile Module to develop applications for the latest handheld devices and smartphones."
The "latest" devices?
It seems to me that it only support up to Windows Mobile 6.0? Which is about 4+ years old?
Anyone know of NI's roadmap for supporting mobile devices? Seems like they are a bit slow to catch on to the "app revolution".

There has been discussion about this recently and basically upgrades are on hold apparently while NI tries to get a handle on the exploding handheld market and figures out what target(s) to concentrate on, at least as far as I can make out.

Mobile module intermediate files?

Where does the Mobile Module store its intermediate .c and .obj files? I get a build error:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol state
and I'd like to get some sort of hint who uses this symbol. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. My problem is not the LNK2001 error per se; that's just a generic "module not found" linker error that one gets fairly regularly when you happen upon a library function available in Windows but not Windows Mobile. In the present project, I've already fixed a bunch of these.
My problem in this case is that I have nothing called "state"; that's why I want to see the intermediate C files to get a hint where it's coming from. But I can't seem to find out where these intermediate files are stored...

Mobile Module for Labview 2009

Hello,
What do I need to install to use Mobile Module with Labview 2009?
I have installed Labview 2009 but I don't see the PDA icon on the main page.

I have seen this link, but it doesn't say what I need to check when installing Labview 2009 SP1 in order to get the Mobile Module.
I work at The University of Twente and we have a full license, so I'm sure it has to be at the install checkbox somewhere...

"Mobile Me has been discontinued" notice freezes Aperture

When I open Aperture on my iMac, the "Mobile Me has been discontinued" flag appears, but it and all of Aperture are frozen. I have signed out of Mobile Me and into iCloud, and all software is up to date. Any ideas? Thanks.

Click on the Learn More link, then ignore the resulting web page, and open Aperture Preferences/Web and remove the account info for MobileMe account or accounts.
Some have had to remove internet access temporarily, but I didn't have to do that.

Mobile Module

Hi all,
I have created a vi to generate random numbers and plotted on graph (totally max of 8 plots on waveform chart - based on user's selection) via normal labview project explorer window. It worked.. GREAT!!!
Same vi I tried to port to a mobile project (followed by selecting target device running WINCE on it).
ERROR what i got is "Too many plots; plots size >8".
Then i replaced the graph control with normal array indicator and build the application with the same mobile project.
It ran properly (showing correct values on array indicator).
So, i guessed chart's history was being saved and i tried to clear the history using property node. But vi shows broken arrow which implies usage of property nodes is not possible for vis under mobile project.
Also i tried using waveform graph instead of chart. Still I am getting same error message.
I need assistance for this issue. Please do help me.
Thanks,

I ran into this post when searching for any documentation over the web (using Google) for this issue.
And I found out that there is no documentation for this issue except for this post......
and even it was from 2010 and probably not relevant anymore for Sriram_lyer I could not leave it without an answer.
This message "Too many plots; plots size (>8)" or 560301086 - see image attached,
is not documented anywhere (at least where I could find) and I am not sure if WinCE is the SW that is posting this Error.
It is probably not NI SW since there is no NI logo in the upper left corner of the message.
Specifically in my case, the data sent to the Graph indicator was 2-D array.
The issue was solved by performing Transpose 2D array before.
Apparently the code was trying to plot 1200 graphs of 4 samples instead of 4 graphs of 1200 samples each.

Adobe Bridge CS6 for mac: export modules, facebook export module gives an error every time i try to sign in

in the export module for facebook every time i click "sign in to facebook" it gives the following error: "An error occurred while request facebook connection"

"An error occurred while request facebook connection"
The export module has been discontinued in Bridge CC and as long as it has been there the option for social media has worked only for FB in a few countries. Due to rights management (as we where told) there where restrictions for most other countries. But if it did work for you in the past you should try click on FB in export module or use the tiny menu icon in the export panel for preferences and try to set up a new connection.

HT5527 Why is it that when I bought my first generation iPad in October of 2010 the Apple sales rep at the Orange County California store suggested that I pay $99 for Mobile Me "coverage" and told me it was a "one time charge".

Why is it when I bought my first generation iPad in October 2010 the sales rep at the Orange County California South Coast Plaza store suggested that I buy Mobile Me service for $99 which he assured me was a one time charge and now, of course, Mobile Me has been discontinued and I've been "forced" to move to the Cloud and I'm being provided with another year of what Apple calls complimentary service with the clear indication that in a year I'm going to be asked to pay again for something I paid a one time charge for two years ago?

Mobile Me was the successor to .Mac (dot mac) which was "free" to all users but for a limited time. It included a free email address @mac.com and an amount of what we would now call "cloud" storage that went by the name of iDisk. iDisk worked great but with only dialup service for me it was barely useful.
So I didn't think much of dot-mac but lots of people thought it was worth paying for, so they did. Apple wanted to make it even more useful and integrate it with their portable devices which we all know as iPads and iPhones, and assembled a team to make it all work. This was to be called Mobile Me.
They failed miserably. Lots of people including me looked at the final product and said "huh?" Unfortunately for the Mobile Me engineers, one of those people was Steve Jobs. He first humiliated them quite publicly, then disbanded the team, including firing at least one senior manager who shall remain nameless.
This was the rocky beginning of what is now called iCloud, which is the "free" service I should have explained. iCloud includes an email address @me.com, and the 5 GB of "storage" which aggregates things like iWork documents, your email, calendars, Photostream, and iPhone backups.
You can buy more storage if you need more than 5 GB, but if you have more than that it's still free through September 2013.
What happens if you have more than 5 GB stored on iCloud and on September 2013 you don't pay? I'm not sure, but you have a year to think about it.
