Need help getting networked shared variables on compact fieldpoint to work

I'm still a newbie and am trying to get Networked Shared Variables to pass from a VI running on a PC to a VI running on a Compact Fieldpoint. I created a VI that sends a message via a Networked Shared Variable and a VI that receives it. I have them both in the same project. If I run them both on the PC, it works, I can send a message string from the first VI to the Networked Shared Variable and read it in the second VI. I have the second VI turn the LED "A" on and the LED "B" off if I send the string "a", and turn the LED "B" on and the LED "A" off if I send the string "b", and turn them both off if I send anything else. It works as expected if both the VIs are running on the PC. The second VI also continuously blinks the LED "C" so I can verify that it's running.
I "deployed" the second VI to the Compact Fieldpoint as follows:
In Project I dragged the VI from My Computer (under Project: name.lvproj) down and put it under the Compact Fieldpoint name.
I right clicked on Compact Fieldpoint name and verified it was set to "Connect".
I right clicked on the second VI and selected "Deploy".
I started both VIs with the "Run" arrow. At this point I know second VI is running since the LED "C" keeps blinking. But, when I try to send an "a" or "b" nothing happens, so the VI on the Compact Fieldpoint must not be receiving the messages in the Networked Shared Variable.
I also right clicked on Compact Fieldpoint name and selected
"Disconnect". The second VI continued to run since the LED "C" keeps
blinking, but I still can't get messages to pass.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I got this to work. I moved the library (.lvlib) containing the Networked Shared Variable to down under the Compact Fieldpoint name. Now it works.

  • Need help getting Mac driver for HP PSC 1510 that works on XP networked printer

    My goal is to use a Mac OS X 10.5 laptop and use a Windows XP networked printer - an HP PSC 1510. So far I have failed.
    I downloaded a driver update 1.1.1 from Mac which has version 4.03 of the HP PSC 1500 series family of drivers. However, the documentation states that it is not one that will work with an IP or XP connected printer. The earlier driver that came with Mac OS X 10.5 documentation also says that it will not work with an IP or XP connected printer. This explained why the Mac versions of the HP software applications could not see my printer. I had also tried using the default Postscript generic option presented when I was setting up the network printer on the Mac. My one graphic page printed as ten or twelve text pages of nonsense characters so that was also a failure.
    So I have my shared HP PSC 1510 wired (connected) off my Windows XP desktop and shared on my home network. I really want to be able to print to the HP PSC 1510 from my wireless Mac laptop especially now that I am partially disabled and getting up and to the PC printer is painful.
    If anyone knows how to make this work properly, or even an acceptable workaround, I would be ever so grateful.

    Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're looking for a driver that would allow your HP PSC 750 All-in-One Printer to function for printing and scanning on your Mac OS X 10.10 Computer.

  • Need help getting Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic to work

    greetings.
    i am using a Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic along with an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, and i cannot for the life of me get my laptop to recognize audio coming from the mic. the mic switch on the cord is on, and the status light is lit up, and i can even hear my voice from the mic in the headphones, but the audio is not being inputted into the computer. i'm using winxp pro and have played around with all the audio settings in control panel with no luck. any suggestions? i thank you in advance for your time and consideration. take care.
    regards,
    jps

    Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
    They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

  • Distributed application: Networked Shared Variables, Named Services (Raw TCP/IP) or Other?

    Happy New Year NI forums! 
    I am working on a project involving mobile interacting robots. In the future it is likely the application's components may need to run on different PCs (Targets). Note: at this point in time all the components are seperate but all running on the localhost machine. Thinking towards the future I want to pick the 'best' architecture to allow all these components (VIs performing various functions) in multiple locations. For example, several VIs on the Robots, VIs on serveral PCs. 
    I am  currently aware of using Server/Client TCP/IP using named services. My mock up works well, but is it time efficient (my time coding) I wonder.. ?  
    Whereas I am aware of networked shared variables which handle connections and all the parsing for the underlying tcp/ip communication. But will this be difficult the manage? I am unsure if I can associate shared variables with a VI similar to named services. I suppose I could pro grammatically create the variable upon initialization of the server component - and the client could just search the list of avaiaible variables to connect too. Downside this would require DSC module. 
    As you can see, I am rather unsure. Any advice would be great!

    Hi Jason,
    Thanks for your reply. I hope your enjoying NI UK as much as I did.. fun times!
    I have seen the link you posted a few times before. But today, I took a better look at it.
    My issue is I need several multi-client severs, i.e. many servers which allow multiple clients to connect to them.
    Now the STM does have an example of this - STM mutli-client Example - Server.vi (used with the STM mutli-client.vi)
    However, when a make copies of these code (to have my second server) - it refuses to run. As in , it just stops itself.
    I DID change the port number, on the lister aspect of the server code. But I Am unsure what else I would need to change to get this setup to work?
    One thought I had was, the FIFOs all having the same name - this probably isn't a good idea between servers.
    Any suggestions would be grateful!
    *please could you provide me email support

  • Network shared variables lose binding

    Hello,
    I am developing an application in LabVIEW that uses network shared variables to transmit data between two PC's on the same subnet. The shared variables work fine when running the VI's in development mode, however, when i build the vi's into an executable I find that they no longer work. Here is what I have found so far:
    I deploy the shared variable library on the publisher machine (also happens to be the development machine) through an invoke node in the executable. NI distributed system manager confirms that this does deploy and indeed updates as it should.
    For the executable on the subscriber PC I created a second shared variable library (same project) with the same shared variables and bound them to the respective shared variables from the first library by selecting enable aliasing, then bind to PSP URL and browsing to the shared variable I wish to bind it to (e.g. \\hallnet-ellm2\shared variable library\serial Number). The machines listed under browse were listed by name so when I tried this initially and it did not work I manually changed the name of my machine in the URL box to the IP address of the publisher hoping that would fix it in case the subscriber could not resolve the publishers machine alias. So now my bind URL read \\192.168.0.1\shared variable library\serial Number.
    As part of the executable on the subscriber I deploy this second shared variable library. NI distributed system manager confirms that this deploys but under quality for an individual variable it has a list of issues (see attached) and the bound variable is not updating. At this point the publisher shared variables are still functioning fine. By clicking on 'edit variable' I can see that the variable on the subscriber is still bound but the PSP URL is now \\localhost\shared variable library\serial number. Changing the PSP URL on the subscriber to \\192.168.0.1\shared variable library\serial number enables the variable to update as expected.However by this time my executable has already picked up the error and does not function.
    I think that the issue lies with the bind URL used on the subscriber as for some reason it does not keep the binding configured in the project and instead changes to 'localhost'. Why is this? Should it not stay bound to the address specified in the project?
    I have tried changing the IP addresses in the aliases file so that
    [My Computer]
    My Computer=localhost 
    becomes
    [My Computer]
    My Computer=ip of local machine
    This did not help.
    The shared variable libraries are included in the build spec to go into the support files directory and they are successfully deployed from there on both publisher and subscriber.
    I am using LabVIEW 8.6 on Windows XP
    Thanks for any help you may be able to offer,

    Hi Lee,
    I hope you are well.  Thank you for your post.  Your application sounds very interesting.
    Looking at your issue I was wondering, have you tried lowering your firewalls, as this may be causing the problem.
    Also, another option would be to setup a private network.  Do you have access to any routers that you could use to link the two machines independent of your IT's infrastructure?
    The other thing to try is two other computers entirely.  Again, it would be ideal to take them off the network you are on, but it's something to try if my prior suggestion doesn't work.  It should work on the original two machines though, and it's likely that different computers won't solve your problems because I suspect the network.
    Remember that the client variables must know the location of the variables on the server, so you can't move the server exe around without changing this value.
    Make sure to set the network location in the "Bind to Source" option for the client variables.
    It is also possible to write a separate piece of code to install on every machine that is responsible for deploying the library and by doing so eliminate the need for programmatically deploying the variables in the original application.  However, this won't really help you, because the variables you use in the application have to be the same as the ones deployed in the library, so if you change the library, they'll no longer be linked and they won't receive data.  You'd have to create a separate exe for every binding source you wanted to link to, and then have a second, known library for the sake of communication locally on the computer between the ‘deployer’ and the actual application.  The main application could then be assigned the responsibility of launching the correct ‘deployer’' if it sees it needs to switch to a different variable binding source.  This method is not the most streamlined or effective, but it might work.
    Just to let you know, you will need to use the DSC toolkit.
    Please find below some knowledge base links that I think you will find helpful in your application.
    Using Shared Variables in Executables
    How do I Programmatically Change the Data Binding Source for Shared Variables?
    I hope this information helps and if you can give these suggestions a go and let me know how you get on, that would be great.

  • Network shared variables reconnecting network dropout

    I've got a cRIO unit communicating with a Laptop using Network Shared Variables, with one of them being a 21 index array that is buffered.
    The system connects and communicates fine, but occassionally the wireless card in the laptop is losing the signal from the WAP attached to the cRIO.
    When this happens the Network Shared Variables never "reconnect" and start receiving values again once the Wireless link is restored.  Is this an expected behavior?
    When I tried using another industrial WAP instead of the laptop wireless card I do not get the drop-outs.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Ryan,
    Thank you for contacting National
    Instruments!  I have looked into the issue you are experiencing and
    wanted to ask you a few more questions.  First of all, do you have a
    time frame in which you allow for the reconnect?  I believe that the
    Shared Variables should regain connection after a short period but it
    will not necessarily be a very quick process.  It may take a few
    minutes for the Shared Variables to reconnect.
    The other
    thing that may be happening is if you have error wires being passed
    through the Shared Variables, it is possible that the error is not
    being cleared and so it will always see the error and therefore never
    reconnect.  In this case you will have to filter this error out and
    then clear the error in order to utilize the shared variables again.
     If
    you have any more specific information about your program that may help
    us determine the reason for this behavior.  Also a screenshot of your
    code would also be helpful.  Please let me know if you have any further
    questions and I will be happy to assist you.  I hope this helps!
    Thanks!

    Mudda, 
    Is LabVIEW 2010 installed on the PXI chassis or was this program developed on a different computer?
    If LabVIEW 2010 was installed on a different computer you may need the 2010 runtime engine on the controller. If the development environment is installed on the PXI controller then you should be fine. 
    How are you connecting to the PXI chassis is it on the network or do you have it directly connected to your development computer?
    If you look at this forum the same error occured when another device on the network was sharing the same IP address. 
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/Real-Time-Measurement-and/Deployment-Completed-With-Errors-Network-Shared-Va...
    Could you try plugging the PXI chassis in directly and see if that resolves the issue or changing the IP address?

  • Inconsiste​nt Network Shared Variables

    I will eventually be implementing a controls program on a machine using cfp. Before the cfp gets here, I am getting practice in network shared variables by trying to pass shared variables between two VIs on my computer. I have attached the two VIs and a screen shot of my project. I run a queued state machine and after the initialization routine is done, I run the control portion of the program. The control program is titled 'The4Mprocedure2.vi' and the QSM is titled '4M_QueueDrivenStateMachine'. In the initialization routine of the QSM, 'FALSE' is written to the boolean network shared variable, 'Run_4M_Procedure'. After the initialization routine is done, and a set of certain parameters are met, the QSM writes the value 'TRUE' to 'Run_4M_Procedure'. Ideally, The4Mprocedure2.vi would read the shared variable, and when the value is 'TRUE' The4Mprocedure2.vi would run. The4Mprocedure2.vi has a case statement that causes to run the program when 'Run_4M_Procedure' = TRUE. The4Mprocedure2.vi does not run when the variable is FALSE.
    The problem that I am having is that The4Mprocedure2.vi does not always recognize that the value of my shared variable has changed. When the QSM passes the value of 'TRUE' to the controls program, The4Mprocedure2.vi will sometimes still read the network shared variable as FALSE. Sometimes, I have to restart the controls program several times while the QSM is running to ensure that 'TRUE' is passed to the controls portion. Why does my controls program not recognize when the network shared variable changes values?

    Hi tquintana55,
    I believe your Issue is related to the methods that LabVIEW subscribes to the shared variables. Here is a link to a related article:
    How to Avoid the "0" Value at First Read of a Shared Variable in LabVIEW 8.5.x?
    To resolve this you can move your Run_4M_Procedure inside the while loop.

  • Network Shared Variable Description

    Hi,
    I've created alot of Network Shared Variables through Project Explorer...and i have also added a description for each one in the shared variable properties screen
    Could someone please tell me how i can get access to the description through LabVIEW?
    Many thanks
    Mike

    Hi attached is a sample of code in which i am viewing a value and also its description.
    Ideally id just like to have the channel name once and the description and value be taken off that, rather than if i ever change it , then have to change the input to the description and also the variable displaying the value. Hope that makes sense

  • Network-Shared Variable - read string with CVI

    I need to read an NSV string with CVI.  I have been digging into accessing and writing NSV with CVI, but they are all scalar value.  What should I do with strings, clusters and arrays?

    'm an employee at National Instruments and I wanted to make sure you didn't miss the Network Variable API that is provided with LabWindows/CVI, the National Instruments C development environment. The the Network Variable API will allow you to easily communicate with the LabVIEW program over Shared Variables (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4679). While reading these links, note that a Network Variable and a Shared Variable are the same thing - the different names are unfortunate...
    The nice thing about the Network Variable API is that it allows easy interoperability with LabVIEW, it provides a strongly typed communication mechanism, and it provides a callback model for notification when the Network/Shared variable's properties (such as value) change.
    You can obtain this API by installing LabWindows/CVI, but it is not necessary to use the LabWindows/CVI environment. The header file is available at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI2010\include\cvinetv.h, and the .lib file located at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI2010\extlib\msvc\cvinetv.lib can be linked in with whatever C development tools you are using.

    I need help getting connected to our home wifi. I've reset network settings, iPhone, and router  but the error "unable to join network" keeps coming up. I also double checked the password. Please help

    Other possibilities:
    Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
    You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
    Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
    Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

    If you are not sure of what you are doing,If you are worried about losing anything when doing a major systems upgrade/update,
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that's very helpful. You could teach something to some people who have been using this forum for years (except that nobody can teach them).
