NiDaq compilation

I am using LabVIEW version 7.1. with it´s Application Builder v. 7.1.
If I compile a program (Data acquisition) in a PC where I have installed the NiDaqmx 7.4 and I copy the compiled program (I prepear an installer)in another computer in which I have installed the NiDaqmx 7.3, when I run the program I get the error code 21. However, if I install the NiDaqmx 7.4 or I compile whith the NiDaqmx 7.3, then the compiled program works fine. (Nedless to say, that I do not use in my program any function which is avalaible in NiDaq 7.4. and not in NiDaqmx 7.3).
The above means, that the maintenace of programs is in practice no possible, unless, there is a trick that allows you to compile them with diferent versions of NiDaqmx, without having to uninstall and re-install them.
Does nay one know how to overcome this important problem. ?
With kind regards

While NI-DAQ strives to be forward compatible as much as possible it is almost an impossible task to also provide binary backwards compatibility. You really need to install the same or a newer version of NI-DAQ on a runtime machine as was used to create the application. Anything else is almost certainly bound to simply not work or create at least strange errors.

Undefined external error messages compiling in Borland C++

I'm using:
Win95 machine
Ni-daq 6.9.1
NI PCI-6025e DAQ card
Borland C++ Builder 5.0.12.34
When I try to compile my C project I get the following error:
[Linker Error] Unresolved external 'DIG_Out_Prt' referenced from
C:\SCOTT\DLL_CODE\ELLIPSE_TEST1\WRITETOPB.OBJ
Here is the code I'm attempting to build:
#include
#include
#include
#include "c:\Program Files\National Instruments\Ni-daq\Include\nidaq.h"
__declspec(dllexport) long portWrite(void);
long portWrite(void){
long value;
long status;
value=(0x0001);
status=
DIG_Out_Prt(1,2,value);
return status;
It is some very simple code just to test that I can get these ni-daq functions to work in
a dll that I can then access from LabVIEW.
I found a knowledgebase article at the following location which seems to address my problem (but either I can't follow it or it just does not solve the problem):
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/ 3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/ c1c5214a711a57
a2862562bb00067373?OpenDocument
Another thing that I found strange is that in nidaq.h the function is not DIG_Out_Prt
(as stated in the user manual, and the installed example) but rather DIG_Out_Port. I don't understand the discrepancy.
Any insight or help with these matters would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Allen

The document (0HMI568Z) you suggest is the one that I "specifically" stated in my question as the article which did not help my situation. Please read the post in its entirety before offering any suggestions. As this post has now been answered it is unlikely that anyone else who may know what's going on will take the time to look at it. This is unfortunate as I really need to figure out the solution to this problem.

I can tell you that you do need to configure the board programmatically, not in MAX. The current C DAQ library does not support MAX configuration.
This forum is for discussion of Measurement Studio for Visual C++ and not for general C++ discussion. You would get a better response to this question if you posted it in the Multifunction IO or Digital IO section of Developer's Exchange.

The InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and where can I find a description of this function?

the InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and what does she do?and where can I find a description of this function? Can i use this function with visualc++ 6.0?

The InitCVIRTE function is in the CVI run time engine (cvirte.dll)..not part of NI-DAQ.
Applications written or using CVI may call this function..
How are you running into this ?
From the CVI help...
This function performs initialization of the CVI Run-Time Engine. It is needed only in executables or DLLs that are linked using an external compiler. Otherwise, it is harmless.
It should be called in your main, WinMain, or DllMain, function. The parameter values you should pass depend on which of these three functions you are calling InitCVIRTE from. The following examples show how to use InitCVIRTE in each case.
If you are using main, your code should be as follows.
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are using WinMain, your code should be as follows.
int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are creating a DLL, you must call InitCVIRTE and CloseCVIRTE in your DllMain function, as in the following.
int __stdcall DllMain (void *hinstDLL, int fdwReason,
void *lpvReserved)
if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
if (InitCVIRTE (hinstDLL, 0, 0) == 0)
return 0; /* out of memory */
/* your other ATTACH code */
else if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
/* your other DETACH code */
CloseCVIRTE ();
return 1;
NOTE: The prototype for InitCVIRTE is in cvirte.h, not
utility.h.
NOTE: In CVI 4.0.1, this function was expanded from one to
three parameters. Executables and DLLs that were
created using the one-parameter version of the function
will continue to work properly.
/*-------------------- Prototype ---------------------*/
int InitCVIRTE (void *HInstance, char *Argv[], void *Reserved);

Upgrade path from old version of LabWin 3.1 and NIDAQ to WinXP system

Hello, I am trying to help folks at my old university lab recover from a Win95 PC failure with an old version of LabWindows, 3.1 (ca.~1997).
They have a WinXP PC and have installed the old 3.1 software on this PC. My old projects will compile and mostly run, but they are having problems finding a version of legacy NIDAQ that will work in LabWin 3.1 and WinXP. Function calls simply return errors so far, although I suspect they may not have configured the DIO-48 card in NIDAQ yet and the version of NIDAQ they have may not have legacy support for the "easyio" library.
Does anyone have experience with this? If it is simply not possible, the second path is to have them buy LabWin2010, but I do not know whether the NI libraries (other than easyio which is easy enough to swap for std NIDAQ fcn calls) have changed significantly and will require a large code rewrite for the GUI or other NI libs. Third option is to simply install Win95 if they can find disks, and use teh very old NIDAQ on the old PC.
Alex

Hi Alex,
I have not seen this exact situation before, but I would be happy to help you out to find what you need. Can you tell me a little bit more about your setup? From what I understand, you have an old program written in LabWindows 3.1 and a DIO-48 card. Are there any other pieces of software or hardware in your setup? It looks like the version of traditionalDAQ you need is 4.9 or lower. Do you know what exact version you had been using? I have sent you a private message to get your email address so that I can send you this driver.

Run-time Error 10459 - Can't Load NIDAQ DLL

Hi,
I'm using VB6 and Measurement Studio 6 with NIDAQ 7.4 and a PCI-6013 device.
I've written an application which accesses the daq card, but also will open another seperate VB6 application which needs to access the daq card. Before the first application accesses the daq card, it resets the daq card using the cwdaqtools control with the following command: CWDAQTools1.ResetDAQDevice (1).
I then unload the form which referenced the daq card, and then open the second application. When the second application opens, I get the attached error message: #10459 was generated by cwdaq. The NI-DAQ DLL could not be called due to an interface error.
This doesn't happen when I run the first application from VB6 in debug mode. It also doesn't happen if I run the compiled applications with VB6 just open.
Can anyone shed some light or offer any suggestions as to what is going on here, and how to solve the issue.
Additionally, due to the fact that I'm using Measurement Studio 6 I need to be using the traditional daq drivers. NiDAQ 7.5 doesn't have the traditional daq driver, so I'm forced to use NiDAQ 7.4.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Max

Hi Marni,
I've visited the link as suggested. Here are the results based on the suggested solutions in order:
1.) I'm fixed in the order in which the applications can be opened, as one application is used to open the second.
2.) I'm working with the latest version of NI-DAQ (7.5 doesn't work with Measurement Studio 6)
3.) Target system is using the latest version of NI-DAQ.
4.) Downloaded palBase and this worked. However, since this application is designed as a distributable application, it doesn't seem plausible to ask the end user to work with palBase, especially if the end user is not comfortable working with computers. Is there another way to accomplish the same effect programatically which would be invisible to the end user?
Regards,
Max

Delphi not finding nidaq

Returning to NI and Borland Delphi after long absense. I am using Delphi 5 and 6, NIDAQ 6.9, and a NI-6025E card.
I cannot compile new Delphi code. My problem(s) look like this:
First, Delphi does not want to find NIDAQ ([Fatal Error] Unit2.pas(49): File not found: 'nidaq.dcu'). Seems like a library directory problem but I can't solve it. I might get close though---
Next, after adding some library directories, Delphi finds NIDAQ but returns two error messages: [Error] nidaq.pas(820): Undeclared identifier: 'pf32' and then [Fatal Error] Unit2.pas(49): Could not compile used unit '..\..\..\..\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Include\nidaq.pas'.
Could some kind soul please stamp out my ignorance?
By the way, I can drive the board just fine with the test bench sofware provided in NIDAQ and I also do just fine with previously compiled Delphi code.
Thanks much,

Looks like this might be a problem with nidaq.pas. The pf32 type is not defined near the top of the file where it should be. Look at the top of the nidaq.pas file and you'll see typedefs of types such as i16, u16, f32, f64, pf64, etc. but pf32 is missing. Just add the section
type
pf32 = ^f32;
and this should fix your problem.
Good luck,
Joe

Error in compiling Photoshop CC 2014 sample project

Hi,
I am trying to compile SDK sample project "outbound". but it is showing errors, as "Parse Issue: Unknown type name 'DialogPtr' " in DialogUtilities.h .
DialogUtilities.h file is in "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014:photoshopsdk:pluginsdk:samplecode:common:includes".
even if I add this path in project settings it still shows the errors.
how can I make this work?
I am using Photoshop CC 2014 and Xcode version is 4.6.3 (4H1503)
If you have any idea regarding project settings then please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Priyanka.

Are you using the CC 2014 release of the SDK?
The DialogUtilities.h for mac do not work. They are the old Carbon API's. See the Dissolve example for an Objective-C UI.
I would comment out the DialogUtilities.h include and other associated headers for Carbon UI. Some Carbon calls still work that are unrelated to UI.

Compilations: Can you show just one album cover with mixes/compiations?

Using the current iTunes (11.01) is a misery. I have numerous mix discs and compilations, and for each title eg Royksopp's BACK TO MINE mix, there are about 15 tiles of the album, one for each song. In extreme cases, there may be over 100. Since I have God knows how many songs, easily in the tens of thousands, this is an extremely inefficient way to display my collection.
Is there any way to display albums with just the one album cover and title showing each time? THis is ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.

Wow!
Is that really so?
I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
Thanks for the input.
I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?

Error in executing a process for compilation for jsp

We have an iView which has jsp pages in it. We deployed the par & try toaccess the iview & we get an exception. The issue is that the iview has a jsp page. At the run time, this jsp is converted into a .java file
without problem. But EP engine is having issues compiling this java fileinto .class file.
On the other hand this same iview works just fine on our windows installation. Only Solaris EP install is having problems. The version onwindows as well as on Solaris is EP6 SP9.
Here is the exact version on the solaris EP:

sap.com/SAP-JEE 6.40 SP9 (1000.6.40.9.0.20041119045409) 20041122132741
When I copy the .class file from windows to unix machine, the iView works fine. Here is the exception I am getting:

I am having the same issue with another iview which has jsp page in it.
The web dynpro iview works fine.

Hi, seems like there's some typo in your jsp. Check the .java file listed with a java editor (like eclipse or devstudio.). Maybe you'll find the typo this way faster.
Most often, a multiline page import hampers jsp compilation,
e.g.
<%@page import="java.util.List,
java.util.Map"%>
needs to be
<%@page import="java.util.List,java.util.Map"%>

Hi:
the problem was not resolved deleting/uploading the components, the problem was resolved increasing the memory in the host and tuning the JVM memory parameters.
In our host the memory was reduced and this was the origin of the problem

Error in executing a process for Flex compilation ....exceeds 32K...

Hi,
deployin my model i get the following error-message.
"Error in executing a process for Flex compilation, Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span. If possible, please refactor this component.
Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span."
Do i delete a sort-element from my model it is deployed very well. So what does this message exactly mean and how can I locate where the error occurs and how can i fix that problem because i need this sort-element to be in my model.
Thanks for your help!
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
You are receiving this error due to a current limitation in the Flex server. How you can fix this is to split the iView you are currently working on into two iViews, and embed one within the other. This will decrease the size of the current iView you are receiving the error for and eliminate this problem.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Scott

Compilation error while calling static method from another class

Hi,
I am new to Java Programming. I have written two class files Dummy1 and Dummy2.java in the same package Test.
In Dummy1.java I have declared a static final variable and a static method as you can see it below.
package Test;
import java.io.*;
public class Dummy1
public static final int var1= 10;
public static int varDisp(int var2)
return(var1+var2);
This is program is compiling fine.
I have called the static method varDisp from the class Dummy2 and it is as follows
package Test;
import java.io.*;
public class Dummy2
public int var3=15;
public int test=0;
test+=Dummy1.varDisp(var3);
and when i compile Dummy2.java, there is a compilation error <identifier > expected.
Please help me in this program.

public class Dummy2
public int var3=15;
public int test=0;
test+=Dummy1.varDisp(var3);
}test+=Dummy1.varDisplay(var3);
must be in a method, it cannot just be out somewhere in the class!

Grouping compilations no longer works after adding artwork..!

Until yesterday I had never bothered with adding artwork to my itunes library as I had a gen 3 iPod that would not show it anyway. I have a new ipod so last night I decided to add artwork, this I did by getting what I could from Gracenote, the rest I have been dragging from images on Amazon and other sites. Ever since doing this the Group Compilations option no longer works, despite having this checkbox ticked in preferences and making sure that the yes box for part of a compilation is ticked for these albums. In addition, every song in a compilation album is displayed individually in the Cover Flow view option.
Is this a peculiarity of 7.2 or is there a way I can get this to work again? I am sure it is something to do with having added artwork as it was working fine before.
The help menu in itunes seems to have stopped working too now, which doesn't help...obviously!

Ever since doing this the Group Compilations option no longer works, despite having this checkbox ticked in preferences and making sure that the yes box for part of a compilation is ticked for these albums. In addition, every song in a compilation album is displayed individually in the Cover Flow view option.
Is this a peculiarity of 7.2 or is there a way I can get this to work again? I am sure it is something to do with having added artwork as it was working fine before.
The help menu in itunes seems to have stopped working too now, which doesn't help...obviously!
