NI Fbus Configurator and Windows 7 Compatibility

Will NI FBUS Configurator 3.2.0 works with Windows 7?  If not, is there an upgrade path? We are using a NI PCI FBUS card.
If an upgrade is required, is it software or hardware or both that is upgraded?  What is the cost to upgrade?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Configurator 3.2.x does not support Windows 7. You can upgrade to Configurator 4.0.1. Only the software needs to upgraded.
The cost of the upgrading is much lower than purchasing a new license. Please contact your local NI sales representative for more information.

  • NI-FBUS Configurator supplied with a broken serial number-- $4K+ for a dead product.

    Hello, we received our Fieldbus Host Starter Kit today (12/6/06).  The order was placed on 8/8/06 under order #1642893.
    We are trying to install NI-FBUS configurator/communications manager on a Windows XP laptop.  After going through the installation process, I entered the
    serial number that is on our certificate of ownership for the "NI-FBUS CONFIGURATOR FOR WINDOWS WITH HSE/HI LINKING DEVICE, HSE SUPPORT."
    That number starts with X103...  The program then gave the screen with the computer ID, the 15 digit "numeric serial number," the 10 digit
    "numeric product code" and a 25 digit "numeric computer ID."
    I phoned these numbers into 800-207-4012, and the "numeric product code" was rejected.  I tried 4 times.
    After speaking with NI tech support, they said that the format for the serial number on my certificate of ownership was for hardware-- not software.
    They also said that there is no tech support for the NI-FBUS product line, and that after spending $4000+ on this system, we have to beg for help
    on the discussion forum if we want assistance.  For now, our $4K+ bought a system that is dead on arrival.

    Hello,
    We are really very sorry for this problem!
    Please contact our local CSR (Customer Service Representative). They could help you activate your software but they will require the Serial Number as well. Please tell them that this is a very special case and ask them whether they could bypass the serial number. If they cannot do so, please ask them whether they could help you activate the "Configurator with HSE support" license with other tools.
    Please be aware that the FF support team is China now. If you have any question regarding the NI-FBUS products, please mail to [email protected], we will be glad to help you.
    Thanks a lot for helping us find this problem. Anyway, we're really very sorry for this inconvenience!
    Hope it helps and please feel free to let me know if I could do more help for you!

  • Dual Boot - Win 7 and Windows 10TP | HDD Prep and layout help

    Hi,
    This is my first time actually submitting a question in the forum. I've spent so much of my time on here reading for solutions but now hope for some help of my own.
    My first attempt at installing Windows 10 Tech Preview (as an additional OS), rather than a 7<10 upgrade went ok until I completed the first platform update.
    After that update, neither OS would load and using a Windows 7 recovery CD/start-up repair. It advised the MBR was corrupt.
    I attempted many "fixed" found on this site, such as; CMD - MBR[repair,rebuild] etc. System restore was not an option due to the fact that when the RE booted, it could not load drivers for the HDD..possibly? Also, could not locate any existing
    Windows installs.
    I am now attempting to start again from square one.
    I have since learnt the boot/volume table partitioning is different for each OS, MBR/MBT as opposed to GPT(GUID). Could this have caused corruption on the System boot volume (small vol, 600Mb approx).
    Should I,
    A. Perhaps create a VHD using disk manangment - if so, will the PC boot giving both OS options as previously?
    Or B:
    Someone please give me a better option :)

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi, whatever you decide to do, It's best to install the oldest OS first, in your case, Windows 7. When you boot from your Windows 7 DVD, select advanced installation, from there you can setup your disk partitions for Windows 7 and another partition for
    Windows 10. While your at it you can setup additional partitions for your data if so desired. Once you have your Windows 7 installed, you will need to boot from your Windows 10 DVD and select advanced setup so you can tell Windows 10 which other partition
    to install into as not to wipe out your Windows 7 installation. Doing this will give you the multi-boot configuration and Windows 10 will install it's own Boot Manager. Hopefully you won't have the problem with the Boot Manager bug Windows 10 has. The
    bright side is there is a work-a-round to that problem. Having a Multi-Boot setup gives each OS direct access to your hardware resources. A VHD setup is good for testing software and to see what an OS will be like to use, but suffers from
    performance issues for some applications as it is an emulation. The up side of a VHD install, is your system is isolated from any problems you may have with a guest OS plus you can easily delete it if you do not like it or have problems with it. If run
    into similar problems in a multi-boot scenario, you actually have to re-format and/or delete partitions and do a re-install to fix problems.

  • Moderator: A FAQ for Windows Compatibility forum?

    Would it be possible to do a FAQ section in the Windows Compatibility forum <http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=687>? Many of the same topics are being asked repeatedly and I feel a FAQ could address most of the similar topics.
    I suggest the following as topics for the FAQs:
    1. Microsoft Office questions. These are not relevant to Mac and Windows compatibility and are more appropriately posted in Microsoft's discussion forums.
    2. Boot Camp questions should be directed to the Boot Camp forum and Parallels questions should be directed to <http://fourms.parallels.com>.
    3. The need for antivirus software for Windows when it is running on a Mac.
    4. A list of links detailing how to print from a Mac to a Windows-connected printer and vice versa.

    Thanks for your replies Ardian and Hardy! I'm glad to see at least the idea is supported by a few others. Maybe it will catch on.
    What I find interesting is that the Windows Compatibility forum has become the dumping ground for all the "Windows" questions that don't seem to fit in the forums listed before it. You'll notice on the Forum Home page that it's at the end of the Windows Compatible Technology list. I'm sure folks are ruling out the more specific technologies such as iPod, iTunes, QuickTime, etc., and posting there when they don't know where else to post.
    Windows Compatible Technology
    AirPort & AirPort Express for Windows
    Bonjour for Windows
    Boot Camp Public Beta
    iPod
    iTunes for Windows
    QuickTime for Windows
    Windows Compatibility
    Even a general FAQ link below or to the right of the the section title would be a helpful guide for folks.
    I'm frustrated that more than 50% of my questions seem to be telling first time posters why their questions aren't approrpriate for the forum and which forums they should be using.

  • CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

    Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

    If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
    In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it.  Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.

  • Windows compatibility; Delete key, view, Office for Mac and  Hassels

    Dear Friends
    I liked the style of the Mac powerbook, and after years of happy use of a Samsung notebook, I decided to take the plunge and buy a Mac. I amlo liked the idea of contributing to diversiy and not putting all my bucks in Gates's basket! People assured me there would be no compatibility problems bwteeen Office for PC and Office for Mac. So I moved from PC to Mac, but have had lots of problems. I have a powerbook 12". My main issues are that:
    1. Word and Powerpoint for Mac do not always convert properly when I take my files to work where I have to use PC. I find editing in powerpoint for Mac less easy than PPT for windows. Before an important presentation at an international conference recenly, the file I worked on on my Mac came out all funny when I loaded it onto the windows laptop that was already set up. I lost a good five minutes ******* around beore an international audience. Someitmes formatting in Word for Mac jumps and highlights and bold and bullet points go all srtrange or are lost when I take the file to work.
    2. The keyboard of the Mac is frustrating. I usually delete rightward; to do this on a Mac I have to hold down Fn and then delete, i.e. two finger operation. I always screw up since I am so used to the delete key on my PC and my brain gets in a twist. Is there a way I can change this?
    3. The power book is quite heavy (a simple moan as I travle a lot).
    4. Word, PPT and internet pages do not cover the whole screen, just the left half to three quarters, with a strip of unused screen on the right. I have been unable to make word for Mac ect cover the whole screen, so I always have to adjust the view size and then half the text is cut off. I would like to see the whole screen used. This is frustrating as the Mac has a kind of grainy screen.
    Any suggestions?
    Chris

    1. For problems related to Microsoft Office you should post your questions to Microsoft's own Mac discussions:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
    2. If you want to "forward-delete" on a Mac without hitting the function key, then you'll have to purchase a full size Apple USB keyboard.
    3. Sorry. Can't help with that one. Maybe you should have bough a ligther 15" Powerbook.
    4. Again, sorry, but that's not a bug, it's a learning curve. Longtime Windows users seem to be more often than not used to working with applications and windows that cover the whole screen. Mac users generally don't. Just drag the windows over to the right or click the green maximize button at the top left of each window.

  • Auth-Fail Feature and Windows 802.1x Supplicant Compatibility

    As per Cisco IOS design when authentication fails the switch sends a simulated EAP-Success message to the client so that DHCP can be implemented by the client. Taking into consideration the dot1x auth-fail command is configured.
    However we have noticed that when using the built-in Windows XP SP2 802.1x supplicant and authentication fails, the Windows supplicant does not like this Cisco simulated EAP-Success message and drops the packet, therefore never re-initiating the DHCP process.
    I have attached the Microsoft supplicant log indicating the dropped EAP-Success.
    We are using catalyst 3750 with IOS 12.2(25)SEE. We have also tried release 12.2(35)xxx but issue persists.
    Your suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank You,
    ET

    An EAP-Failure is by design. This occurs on all failures. The session fails rather normally. After the third (default but configurable) successive failure, the port is conditionally enabled (and placed in the auth-fail-vlan) even though 1X is configured and operating.
    At this point, it's up to the supplicant to access the network if it wants to, since the port has been enabled. Without the notion of a controlled port on a supplicant, there's no reason it shouldn't try and access the network ;-).
    Once a workstation is authorized on the network, and then subsequently fails for whatever reason, and put on the auth-fail vlan then it's also up to the machine to renew it's IP if it needs to. Optionally, you can configure the auth-fail-vlan to be the same as your default vlan. I guess it's worth pointing out, that you'd have this problem without 802.1X (changing VLANs on the fly for example). Some supplicants can deal with this though.
    If an EAPOL-Logoff does not come from a supplicant (and it doesn't by default with Windows-XP) then there's nothing to get the port out of the Auth-Fail-VLAN either (short of link down). You can configure this through registry though. So the answer to your earlier question was no .. it shouldn't.
    I'm not sure I understand the "IB" and "OOB" references here though.
    Hope this helps,

  • ODI 10.1.3.4 and Windows 7 compatability

    Is there an issue with ODI 10.1.3.4 and Windows 7?
    Edited by: dalew7777 on Sep 13, 2010 10:39 AM

    OK, figured out the compatability issue. Just had to add Windows 6.1 to the oraparam.ini file and I was able to install the application on a Windows 7 box.
    Now I am getting an error when trying to create the connection. It says that the login already exists. Well of course it exists...I am just trying to create this connection string on this other pc. The connection string I am trying to create on the machine was already created on another machine and I am just trying to use this same one on the Windows 7 box. This connection tested OK I just need to save it on the new machine. Anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

  • OC4J Configuration issue Oracle 11g R2 Windows XP and Windows 7

    Hallo!I have installed Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0 on both Windows XP and Windows 7 on 2 different machines.
    Before installing on both OSs,I had installed Microsoft Loopback Adapter and had set hostname as JOEY-PC and IP address 192.168.0.X.Once the installations were complete and I restarted the machines,I could not start OEM and the error below appears
    C:\Documents and Settings\JOEY>emctl start dbconsole
    OC4J Configuration issue. C:\app\JOEY\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_JOEY-PC_orcl not found.
    When I went to the C:\app\JOEY\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oc4j\j2ee directory,I found the folder OC4J_DBConsole_localhost_orcl instead of OC4J_DBConsole_JOEY-PC_orcl.
    I assumed that by using Microsoft Loopback Adapter,I would avoid the error above and that the OC4J_DBConsole folder would permanently remain as OC4J_DBConsole_JOEY-PC_orcl instead of OC4J_DBConsole_localhost_orcl.
    Why is this folder changing its name and how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks.

    Pl post the contents of the file C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on both servers
    What steps did you take to set the hostname to JOEY-PC ?

  • Pre-configured dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows

    Of possible interest to the Linux folks: A newly opened Laptops with purpose store is now offering several popular ThinkPad models fully pre-configured with dual-boot Ubuntu Linux and Windows.
    These systems come with a lot of pre-installed applications, see Dual boot Linux and Windows page for details.
    At the moment, we are working on specific solutions for students, educators, scientists, designers...
    Would love to have some feedback from the community on the existing offerings as well as suggestions/wishes for the future ones.

    That would be fine if some hp machines didn't have broken UEFI that don't respect setting the default OS.

  • Relationship b/w sga configuration and boot.ini in windows platforms

    hi all,
    i have doubt on sga configuration and boot.ini settings.
    assume the following configuration's
    1.Db is 10g r2.
    2.OS is Windows server 2003 ,RAM is 8gb
    3.SGA_max_size=4gb,SGA_atrget=4gb
    1.For the above settings i must initialize the /3g /PAE in bott.ini file?
    2. the boot.ini configuration is optional one?
    3. what is criteria to set the /3g /PAE parameter in boot.ini and why?
    4. what is advantage and disadvantage of boot.ini
    please explain.
    Thanks is advance..

    3.SGA_max_size=4gb,SGA_atrget=4gbfor this configuration no need to set /3g /PAE..
    coz in Windows server 2003
    When the physical RAM in the system exceeds 16 GB and the /3GB switch is used, the operating system will ignore the additional RAM until the /3GB switch is removed. This is because of the increased size of the kernel required to support more Page Table Entries. The assumption is made that the administrator would rather not lose the /3GB functionality silently and automatically; therefore, this requires the administrator to explicitly change this setting.
    The /3GB switch allocates 3 GB of virtual address space to an application that uses IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE in the process header. This switch allows applications to address 1 GB of additional virtual address space above 2 GB.
    The virtual address space of processes and applications is still limited to 2 GB, unless the /3GB switch is used in the Boot.ini file. The following example shows how to add the /3GB parameter in the Boot.ini file to enable application memory tuning:
    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="????" /3GB
    so no need to se the bbot.ini files in your case..
