Prime Graphing Calculator Identification of Older Prime Hardware Version A

Hello,
I have been trying to update the firmware version to the latest version (2014 07 02 (6031)) on my Prime Graphing Calculator without luck, the release_info.txt file indicates that (for firmware version 2014 03 31 (6030)):
There is limited backward compatibility between this and earlier releases.
Older Prime hardware (Revision A) does support this release, however the wireless, unit-to-unit, and data streamer functionality is not supported on earlier models. In the Help->About HP Prime screen the hardware revision will be displayed along with software version information.
How can I tell if my calculator hardware number is the Revision A hardware?
Is the CAS version the hardware number?
Thank you very much,
H.
This question was solved.

Hi,
All HP Primes are upgradeable to version 6030 (note that 6031 is for the PC emulator only). It is just that Hardware A has a problem with some communications.
Firmware versions prior to 6030 (i.e. 5447 and older) do not show the hardware version in the 'about' screen.
When you upgrade to 6030 the hardware version will be displayed in the 'about' screen.
You can also determine the hardware version from the model number (found on the back of the box it came in, near the bar code):
NW280AA is Revision A hardware
G8X92AA is Revision C hardware
By the way, the following process is recommended for upgrading the Prime:
Install the Connectivity Kit from the CD.
Once the connectivity kit is installed, update the calculator.
The following method is recommended:
Connect your HP Prime calculator via the supplied USB cable (directly connected, do not use a USB hub)
Start the HP Connectivity Kit
Click the Calculator tab
Right-click the name of the HP Prime you wish to update (it would be the one you connected before starting this procedure)
Make a note of the version number and then click the OK button
Click on the Help Menu and select Check for update
Check for update pop-up box, check version number that it is newer than the one you wish to update.
Then click download button
That's it, you'll see on the screen of your calculator the update being loaded and installed. Don't click too fast to get out of the HP Connectivity Kit, wait a minute or so after completion.
Also, there is a step in the Connectivity Kit where it is advised to back-up the version you had before you run the procedure, just in case. That way you have a way to re-cover.
Regards.
Note: I do not work for HP, I just like playing with calculators :-)

HP Prime Virtual Calculator missing mfc120u.dll error since upgrade to version 1.21.8151.102

The HP Prime virtual calculator will not start since the most recent update (version 1.21.8151.102). A windows system error popup window comes up when attempting to start the virt calc saying "The program can't start because mfc120u.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Needless to say "re-installing" did not fix the problem. From searches it appears the specified DLL is associated with debug builds so wondering if the latest version was built incorrectly?? Anyone else having this problem? Any solution from HP? I have had to revert to my "shipped" version which is sub-optimal. There has been no problem so far with my actual HP Prime device since the latest firmware update so phew... but the virtual calc is handy when working on the PC with code. I am running 64bit windows 7 -- all latest updates applied from MS etc. had no problems until this version of the vCalc

One possible scenario: On installation, the 64 bit OS is recognised and the 64 bit version of the redistributable is installed.The emulator is probably a 32 bit version (compatibility, 32 bit programs usually work on 64 bit systems but not vice versa).It looks for the 32 bit version of the redistributable which isn't installed. Note, this is one of many possibilities in todays software world. However, the fact that 32 bit programs require the 32 bit redistributable and 64 bit programs require the 64 bit redistributable is why I suggested to install both versions. This is not only useful for HP's emulators, but many other programs (hence I have so many installed already). Best regards.

Simple Graphing Calculator with 2D array

Hello,
I am building a simple graphing calculator which reads in coefficients from a txt file. All is going well except when I plot the points, the graph is at the corner of the screen and sideways. As we all know, the origin of the array is at the top right corner, so how do I transform/slide it so that it is at the xy origin? Code is posted below, thanks!

Hello
I have a VeriStand-Project (VSP) created with my Laptop-Host (LTH) which works with my PXI, while
deploying it from my LTH. Then I have installed the whole NI enviroment for PXI and VeriStand use on a
industrial PC (iPC). I have tried to deploy my VSP from the iPC to the PXI but the following error
message arose on my iPC:
The VeriStand Gateway encountered an error while deploying the System Definition file.

The software versions of the NI products (MAX/My System/Software) between my LTH and the iPC are
almost the same. The only differences are:
1. LabView Run-Time 2009 SP1 (64-bit); is installed on LTH but missing on iPC. The iPC has a 32-bit system.
2. LabView Run-Time 2012 f3; is installed on LTH but missing on iPC.
3. NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.3.5; something strage on the LTH, because normally I am using NI-DAQmx 9.5.5 and all other DAQmx products on my LTH are 9.5.5. That means NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5.. On the iPC side all three products are 9.5.5.. That means NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.5.5, NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5..
4. Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4; The iPC has this SW installed. On the LTH this SW is missing.
In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
1. LabVIEW Real-Time 11.0.1
2. NI-488.2 RT 3.0.0
3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
Unfortunately the above stated problem still arose.
What can I do to fix this problem?
I found a hint on http://www.labviewforum.de/Thread-XNET-CAN-die-ersten-Gehversuche.
There it is written to deploy the dbc file againt.
If this is a good hint, so how do I deploy a dbc file?
I would feel very pleased if somebody could help me! :-)
Best regards

Hi Lukas,
I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.
You wrote:

NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.

Why Can't Older Internet Explorer Versions Be Self-Destructed?

Web Designers And Developers Always Have To Pay The Price For Older Browsers, esp. older I.E versions. Lot's of people especially old folks and computer illiterates still use them due to the fact they know very little About Browsers
and updates, Why Can't All the Older Unsupported version be Killed.
How?
Same way browsers or any other software get prompted(their users get prompted) there's a new version once they connect to the web, then told they should click 'update' to update, all users of older browsers would be prompted "this
browser is just stupidly outdated, it'll self-destruct in 10 secs, and the latest supported version would be downloaded automatically, sit back and enjoy" Problem solved!

No compatability with older printer hardware/software and no windows media center

What can I say except that Microsoft is the only company that releases an inferior product after years of having a great product. Windows 8.1 and 8 would be fine if it were compatible with old hardware i.e. printers and had Windows Media Center. This is
now a very bare bones product. I certainly won't be paying the $129 price tag for Windows Pro 8.1 pack, just to get media center - not when there's so many free alternatives around for that. In future, don't purchase a photo quality printer that costs a fortune.
Buy a nasty cheap one with inexpensive cartridges, as eventually you won't be able to install the older software for your far superior printer i.e. Epson stylus photo 1270. Sounds like a collusion with both Microsoft and Printer manufacturers to get
folk purchasing hardware they don't want or need, while they're older hardware works just fine - it's the new operating systems that don't. No thank you.

Hi,
Please understand that Microsoft's partners have shared clear concerns over the costs associated with codec licensing for traditional media playback, especially as Windows 8 enables an unprecedented variety of form factors. Windows has addressed these concerns
in the past by limiting availability of these experiences to specialized “media” or “premium” editions.
That's why the Media center is separated for additional cost.
For the compatibility thing about older device, you can use the compatible mode to install the related driver on Windows 8 and 8.1 to get it work.

Upgrading from Prime 1.2 to 1.3 - What about WLC version?

If I upgrade to prime v1.3, from v1.2, am I required to upgrade my WLC controllers to v7.4, or will my current version (v7.2) work fine?
Thanks.

No upgrade to your WLCs is required. Any v7.0 or later should be fine. See the Release Notes here for details.

Can Prime report on what devices are in Prime but not running SSH or TACACS+

I currently have 150+ switches and routers in Prime Infrastructure 2.1. I was looking to see if there was an easy way to run a report on the switches and routers to see if any were not running SSH or TACACS+.
Thanks

Configuration discrepancy reports such as you're asking about are not quite in Prime Infrastructure in any robust form. they are in Prime LMS and targeted for a future release of PI. This is noted in the functional comparison document.

System identification for open loop unstable plant?

Hello,
I have been trying to use system identification on labview. My problem is that my plant is open loop unstable and none of the tutorials or examples I have found seem to cover this so I cannot get it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should go about it? My plant has an RC servo so it needs a PWM signal to stimulate it.
Thanks
Adam

I want to control my plant with lead/lag control but I do not know the plant model which makes this very difficult. I cannot theoretically calculate it because the information I need to obtain a numerical transfer function or state space model is unavailable.
I have it controlled with PID at the moment but this is not ideal.
I am trying to use the system identification toolkit to obtain a transfer function but I do not know what to do because the examples do not work for open loop unstable plants.
Adam
Ok Open loop unstable functions cannot be predictably controlled (hence the terms; open loop and unstable,) Not being able to model the actions is a bit of a problem too.
Somehow, someway you need to get some kind of model or some kind of feedback to either provide stability in the plant or close the loop.
Adding hardware (sensors) is the most likely solution.
tell me more about the plant, I do this kind of thing for a living, so I could offer some ideas.
