Problems obtaining .rxe with labview 8.5 professional

Hello everyone! I am starting with labview for nxt, and I have some problems during the compilation.  I have installed all what it is said in instructions for labview 8.5 professional, then I have  done the "mass compiled" but I have obtanied lots of bad VI. I have tried to do it again and again, and results are always the same.
Not knowing how to solve them, I decide to continue. I can do everything till the moment I want to compile. It tries to compile, but only generates a new .rxe file, with no name and no data. When I try to run it,  the nxt shows a message telling that it is a bad file.
The trouble is that I do not know whether both problems are related and how to solve them. Any suggestions will be thanked!

The solution is to copy all files from nxttoolkit101patch.zip that corresponds to the labview 7.1, to the folder of your labview version. Then, mass compile your new toolkit and does all.

  • Problems getting started with LabVIEW FPGA

    Two (probably) related questions:
    1. I am trying to get started with LabVIEW FPGA, and I am having trouble using a host VI to test my FPGA VI. I started with a basic QAM modulator VI, to be run on the FPGA, and I have reached the point where I need to verify the logic and timing with this VI running on the development computer with simulated IO. I have tried various combinations of putting the code inside single-cycle timed loops vs not; putting the modulator block directly into the host VI, and using the "FPGA reference" block. When neither the host VI nor the modulator VI use a single-cycle timed loop, I see correct behavior. In every other case, the output of the VI is either absent or incorrect. I need to use a single-cycle timed loop in the FPGA VI to properly verify timing behavior (as far as I know), so the one functioning case is not enough for me.
    I'm sure there is a key step I'm missing or misunderstanding, but I have not been able to figure it out myself yet. I've attached my modulator diagram as well as two different attempts at host VIs. I can share other information, but I'm not sure what is most relevant.
    2. I am also trying to test a simple wrapper VI for the Xilinx FFT block, and I am having trouble accessing FIFOs inside the host VI. I thought this would be relatively straightforward, but when I tried to change the "method" on an "invoke method" block, there were no options for accessing FIFOs, as I understood there should be. This is a total roadblock for me. These two diagrams are also attached, the test diagram shows the options available to me for the "invoke method" block.
    Labview 2013, PXIe-7965R, PXIe-8133 controller. 
    I had to combine the diagram images; in case they are hard to follow this way, see the individual images here: http://imgur.com/a/oB6OD .
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hello Monguin61
    If you are having problems reading from DMA FIFO's you should test them using a very simple code to understand their behavior. First, you could start taking a look to the linked documents:
    Reading DMA FIFOs from Host VIs (FPGA Interface)
    Using DMA FIFO to Develop High-Speed Data Acquisition Applications for Reconfigurable I/O Devices
    FIFO.Read (Invoke Method)
    Then you could test and analyze a simple example to understand how it works, for example this one: Simple DMA FIFO Example for FPGA.
    Check the references when you are using DMA FIFO's, I noticed you did not connect them in the second picture attached.

  • Linux font problem with LabVIEW 7 Express

    Is there a change in how LabVIEW 7 Express for Linux
    uses fonts? When I run LabVIEW 6.1 (on the same
    machine) the standard font (10pt Application) looks
    very nice (in menus, front panel and diagram). With
    LabVIEW 7 they are not so good to read. What can I do?
    Thanks in advance,
    Armin Herzer

    Hello Evan,
    Sorry for the late replay, but I was on holiday last week.
    I am using Debian GNU/Linux woody 3.0 (testing). The video driver is the one which is shipped with XFree86 in this Debian installation. I also used the newest video driver from NVidia but the problem is the same (btw. is this a NVidia problem? Unfortunally I can only test on machines with NVidia cards). I attached a screenshot to visualize the problem.
    The problem is not VI specific. All text (menus, comments and so on) have this ugly font.
    Thanks in advance,

  • A problem was encountered with one of the files in TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW directory

    When looking at the module for a LabVIEW VI being called from TestStand, I get the following message:
    A problem was encountered with one of the files in TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW directory.  Please reinstall it or repair it.
    I made the mistake of cleaning up C: in my computer.  Cleaning C:\National Instruments Downloads
    Why would someone put bits of applications or modules, etc in such a directory?
    I am not too crazy about restoring 11GB back into that folder.  That's just insane!
    Has anyone encountered this before?  Any "easy" solutions? apart from re-installing TS...
    Side note:  I did not touch anything in the \Program Files|National Instruments\TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks PH,
    I also had that.  Fixed it. 
    I will not remove the ones in the NI downloads folder.
    I will eventually need to remap everything to the appropriate drive. 
    I partition the drives into:
    C:\     Windows and associated folders.  Mostly OS stuff
    E:\     Applications (this is where it will end up)
    F:\     Files
    G:\    Storage
    H:\    Backups
    I try to do what I normally implement in Linux.  I hate sharing the OS with everything else.

  • Problems with installation of system and support files with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT.

    I make installations disks with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT and I need to add some system files and other support files. When I'm in App Builder I choose them in "Add support files" and I mark their "custom directory destination" (c:\winnt\system32, c:\est\base) but, when I test the installation I see that files don't save in this directory, they save in 'C:\c\winnt\system32' and 'C:\c\est\base'. How can I solve this problem?

    Jorge,
    I know there were some problems with the LabVIEW 5.1 Application Builder that were fixed in the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Updater. I recommend you download that update to see if this fixes the problem. Also, double-check to make sure you have typed the file paths correctly. If you continue to have problems after installing the 5.1.1 updater, please let me know, and please attach your .bld file so I can examine it for any problems.
    Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a pleasant day.

  • Problems with LabVIEW 7.1 and lock-in amplifier Stanford SR530?

    Does has anybody had problems with LabVIEW 7.1 and the instrument driver for the lock-in amplifier Stanford SR530?
    With LabVIEW 6 there are no problems at all, but with LabVIEW 7.1 it is impossible to communicate with the instrument.

    amr_attia wrote: (Private message, no need to private message)
     My problem is to get the data out from the divice x and y readings . Can you help me
    Here is the code and snippet. I had it from before. It reads Channel 1 and Channel 2 from the SR530, that is whatever the display is for Channel 1 & 2. You set the display manually or programmatically, I let you figure that part out.

  • Problems installing FP v4.1 with LabVIEW v6.1 application

    We have a LabVIEW v6.1 application that interfaces to a FieldPoint FP-1000 Network Module for its I/O. We have been distributing it to customers for about 18 months with the FieldPoint v4.0.1 driver - no problems other than some difficulty getting the Watchdog Timer setup properly via MAX.
    The latest purchase of FieldPoint hardware came with FieldPoint v4.1 driver. There are three issues that have arisen with the advent of FP v4.1.
    1.) There occurs several (identical) warning messages during the FP v4.1 installation on Windows XP SP2 (the exact number depends on the selection of features to install). The message is "Error 1931" and it says that Windows stopped the installer from updating the stdole2.tlb file. It suggests that we update the OS, which has been done, but the messages continue.
    Question: is it critical that the stdole2.tlb in the FP v4.1 distribution be installed, or is this an error with no consequences?
    2.) When installing FP v4.1, we select LabVIEW v6.1 support, but disable the Real-Time v6.1 Support and the Examples. We also disable the LabVIEW v7.0 and v7.1 Support and the LabWindows/CVI Support. We keep the Documentation and MAX features. We have gone through the install/uninstall cycle several times and each time when uninstalling the list of features includes LabVIEW v7.0 Support - not v6.1.
    Question: does this indicate that the installer is erroneously installing v7.0 support and omitting the selected v6.1 Support? Or is this just an error in what is displayed by the uninstaller?
    3.) After FP v4.1 is installed (with LabVIEW v6.1 Support selected) our LabVIEW v6.1 application runs but fails to communicate with the FP-1000 Network Module. Upon quiting the application, there is an error message stating that the FP.Open.vi failed to run because the FieldPoint Server .dll was not found (no filename for the server- just ".dll").
    Question: Is this an issue of the installer not putting the proper FP Server .dll file on the computer (see question 2) or is this a matter of compatibility (do I need to install FP v4.1 on the development computer and remake my application)? Something is wrong here, FP v4.1 doesn't support a LabVIEW v6.1 application that runs fine under FP v4.0.1. Do I need to install the LabVIEW v7.x Support in addition to the v6.1 Support?

    Hi lkj,
    There has been few reported problem with installing FP4.1 in LabView 6.1, but none of them are similar to what you are experiencing. According to the 4.1 driver documentation certain vis from this driver version cannot be installed and used in LabView 6.1. What I would suggest is to uninstall the current driver and revert back to the ver. 4.0.1 since we know for sure it works in the LabView 6.1 environment. If you you'd like to use the 4.1 driver, then if would suggest upgrading to LabView 7.0 or 7.1.

  • Strange math-problem with LabVIEW 7.1

    Hello!
    I am using LabVIEW 7.1 and I came to this strange math-problem. Could it be that it is a problem of LabVIEW 7.1?
    Ok try this with LabVIEW 7.1:
    open a new VI
    place a subtract-VI (pallet numerical) on the block diagram and try to subtract 0.2 from 1.6
    place a less-VI (pallet compare) on the block diagram and wire a numerical constant 1.4 to input x
    wire the result of the subtraction to input y of the comparison
    place an LED to the output of the comparison
    and start this.
    What does it say?
    The LED should turn on and this means here that 1.4 would be less than 1.4 .
    But I would have expected that 1.4 is not less than 1.4 .
    This works also if you add or subtract upto 0.2 to/from the values 1.4 and 1.6 (or equivalent with 0.2) .
    If you change the inputs of the comparison then the result is as expected and 1.4 is reported not to be less than 1.4 .
    If you compare two constants with the same value 1.4 you will not get the same strange result.
    Does anybody have an explanation for this?

    Hello,
    For floating point math: Rounding to multiples of 0.1 is problematic as
    those numbers are infinite fractions in base2 representation...
    So maybe you should change your numbers to integers using fixed point math. If all your input values are in the range of 1.4 to 1.8 you can multiply by 10000 and round to next integer. Then do your comparison on that integer (there's also an 'InRange' function in the comparison palette).

  • Does a tutorial come with LabView Professional?

    Does a tutorial come with LabView Professional? If yes, does anyone have comments on it's usefullness for a first time user? A class or the $500 CBT's may not be an option at this time.
    Regards,
    Chris

    There is a pretty good tutorial shipped with LabVIEW.
    Fire up LabVIEW, go to the 'Help' menu and select "Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf". This will open a PDF that actually lists all the documentation that ships with LabVIEW and all related modules. There's even a search function so you find what you're looking for. Anyway, look for a link on the page titled, "Getting started with LabVIEW". This is the tutorial and will go through all the basics you need to know to get you started.
    Keep this "Bookshelf" in mind and use it. It's full of all sorts of good information.

  • Problems with labview 7.1

    hi all,
          i had posted this question before but no one replied so i am posting it as a new message.
    i am using labview 7.1 and wanna use fp-1000 and fp-tc-120(2 of them) to measure 16 temperature values from t-type thermocouples.
    i connected the fieldpoint hardware with labview through RS-232 and also installed fieldpoint 5.01(with support for labview 7.1) in my system. but MAX does not detect the device. why is this happening.  i checked the port settings and they are fine.
    if the following info helps then i must mention that a pci-gpib card and a scxi daq system is also attached to my pc. i also made sure that the addresses are different for each one of the hardware devices.
    something more, previously i was using labview 8.2 on which the device was working fine. but i had to migrate from one pc to another on which there is labview 7.1 and i cannot install labview 8.2 on this system. so please let me know what to do?

  • Excel with Labview 6?

    I'm trying to get Excel '97 to work with Labview 6.02, but I'm always receiving error message: -2147319784: "old format or invalid type library". I modified windows registry as told in LV knowledgebase. After that I could see Excel components in ActiveX pull down menus. I have tried to run demos such as "Open Excel And Make visible.vi" but they always output the error message. I have tried this with both Windows 2000 and NT. Other programmes, for instance MS Access, seem to work fine. What is the catch?

    Anders,
    You have run into a special case of the problem that actually has a work around for it. However, you will have to contact LabVIEW technical support to obtain the temporary fix since they need to keep track of all the people with this special case.

    Hi Leo22,
    Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

  • Building a dll with labview for CVI

    Hi,
    I am making some abstract hardware layers for some instruments and i use to work with Labwindows CVI. But i have found ONE instrument, the Instek pst3201 alimentation which is ONLY created with Labview.
    So i downloaded the 8.6 LV demo and builded the llb projet in order to obtain some .dll, .h and .lib files and included it to a CVI project in order to construct an intermediate Dll level.
    Everything builds fine, like usually when i use an IVI driver but my problem is that when i try to call this intermediate Dll level with my abstact hardware layer using LoadLibrary, nothing is returned like if the DLL doesn't exist.
    So my question is : Do you think that this is a problem from CVI (and i repeat that i have made a lot of others abstract hardware layers using IVi drivers except that this time i haven't got any .fp or .c but  a .h and i include the .lib to the project), or a problem from Labview and i should use the LV Application builder if it's different ?

    Hi,
    It's seems that you have no exported function. What function do you have in your header file? did you tryed to create a really simple dll (doing an addition for example ) in LabVIEW only to verify that you are correctly creating the dll?
