Pxi 1042 configuration for Real-Time

I have purchased
PXI-1042
controller 8187
one module for data capturing.
I want to configure the said pxi for Real-Time purposes,
so what steps should I follow?
thanks

Go to Solution.

The Real-Time Deployment License is different from the LabVIEW RT module.
When you purchase a PXI controller, part of what you are buying is the operating system that is installed on it. If you purchased the controller with Windows on it then you purchased the copy of Windows that came with it. Now that you want to put the real-time operating system on it, you need to purchase the license for it.
But that's all legal stuff.
And you are correct that there is a copy of the RTOS on the controller. But if your controller has its disk formatted as NTFS you will not be able to use it. The RTOS requires that the hard drive be FAT32.
If your controller is FAT32 then you can boot into BIOS (hit delete while booting), and select Real-Time in the Boot Configuration to make your controller boot into Real-Time.
If you controller is not FAT32 then you will need to format the controller first, using the disks I have previously mentioned.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Cann DSC x-bar R chart vi be configured for real time charting

I have an extensive vi written to perform automated testing on my product (pump). I am collecting pneumatic & electrical performance at multiple load points and intend on charting x-bar & R charts for each individual pneumatic test point and electrical test point.
The VI for x-bar & R charting has an input that requires a 2-dimensional array. The data that I intend to supply to the chart is my 1-dimensional array containing the results from my sub-group. (I will be collecting data for 5 units out of every 20 initially)
The help is not real clear on what is required in the 2-dim array and so I either need to understand better what it is expecting or how to change it to accept a 1-dim array of data.
Any assistance wiht this is much appreciated.
Thanks
Doug

"My only wish is that I am capable of learning each and every day until my last breath."

OK Got the binary write and read figured out (mostly) The issues I ran into were more what I would call syntax related, like having to use the open vi and set file position vi to complete the appending write vi but then not using the refnum from the write to feed the file info to read vi instead having to feed the original file path again.
I found another thread that gave a good example on decompiling (my word) the array info from the cluster format that the read vi generated back into an array format and in fact, it ended up taking my 1D array and after all the functions, turning it into a 2D array that was ready to feed into the control chart vi.
I have posted a snapshot of the code so that if there is any really bad form that I am using, I am open to making it more efficient. I kow that my method for pulling the desired variable out of the original subgroup results clusters is a little cumbersome but it does work. I may make part of that routine into a subvi just to better organize this vi.
Hopefully the attachment is clear enough to be readable. Could not figure out how to paste it directly into the post.
My only open item now is on the file read, setting it up to read only the most recent 25 (or some number) of data sets. Since my data set size should never change once I am running, I am expecting that on my first write to a new file, I can read the file size and determine what the value will be for each data set and then with some math, complete an offset and set position before performing the read.
If this doesn't sound correct, I am open to other options for sure.
I do have another issue that has cropped up that I am struggling with that I will mention briefly but will start a new thread as it is not relted to this issue but am mentioning it in case anyone reading this thread has any insights. That is essentially sending command strings to a serial connected power supply using TQLP library functions. Details will be in a new thread.
Thanks for the continued assistance

"Waiting for real-time target (RT PXI target) to respond" error when the program waits interrupts

Hi there,
I have developed an application to detect interrupts generated by a electronic card and act in consequence. The program has been developed in labview but it calls a dll; that was created with labwindows. The dll is programmed to open the visa communication, enable events and install the interrupt handler and when an interrupt is detected, it reads the value of the different registers of the card and returns it to labview to visualize them.
The problem is that when the program waits for an interrupt, a prompt appears with the message "Waiting for real-time target (RT PXI target) to respond" and the only option I have is to click on the button to disconnect from the pxi or just wait. If I wait and I generate an interrupt, the prompt disappears and the application visualize the data like it was expected.
To wait for the interrupt the following code has been programmed in the function:
while (flag == 0)
Sleep (1000);
When an interrupt occurs, the value of flag changes to 1 and the function continue without any problem. I am not really sure, but probably here is the problem and probably this is not the best way to wait for an interrupt because the sleep function suspends the thread for the configured time, but at least the computing load in the PXI is between 0% and 1%. I was wondering if somebody knows how to wait for an interrupt without "lost" the communication with the PXI and if there is a better way to do it.
Any answer will be welcome and thanks for them,
Jaime
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Naity,
First of all, in which thread runs the waiting process? Is it scheduled in another thread than the function setting the flag?
It scheduled in the same thread that I use to configure the communications and configure the card. Anyway, here is the pseudo code of the function interrupt that I programmed under labwindows,.
char* interrupt(void)
1. Open visa communications
2.Install handler interrupt --> status = viInstallHandler (instr, VI_EVENT_PXI_INTR, IntrHandler, VI_NULL); // the function IntrHandler will be called when an interrupt occurs
3. Enable event PXI interrupt
4. Wait
while (flag == 0)
Sleep (1000);
5. Visualize the data coming from the interrupt (registers and values measured with the card)
6. Uninstall handler interrupt
7. Close visa session
The interrupt handler function IntrHandler is called immediately when an interrupt occurs and the pseudo code is like this
ViStatus _VI_FUNCH IntrHandler(ViSession instr, ViEventType etype, ViEvent event, ViAddr userhandle)
1. Disable some functions of the card to avoid damages.
2. Read registers and put them in a buffer
3. Change the value of flag ---> flag = 1;
In labview, I call the function interrupt with a call library function node (see the capture attached) and the program reads and saves the data from returned from the function.
Secondly, I am not sure this method is the most elegant. You could for example register an event with the function and, insteand of setting a flag to 1, trigger the event and schedule it in another thread (if the function is thread safe). This could reduce your CPU Load even more and seem a bit cleaner to me.
I've never used events before in labwindows but I will try to do it in this way. But anyway, I suppose that I should; somehow, wait the event to occurs in labview while the waiting for the event is programmed inside the dll...and probably the same prompt that i am trying to avoid is going to appear again, because I am not returning the "control" to labview (I mean, labview executes the dll and waits for the event to occur. Then the execution of the labview program is stopped in the call library function node executing the dll)
Third point, which environment of development are you using?
I am working with LV 2010 sp1 and Labwindows cv 10.0.1 and with the real time module.
I did also another test, I divided the program in different functions, one to initialize the communication, another to wait until a interrupt has been detected and the other to obtain the data from the interrupt and close communications. With labview I call first with the call library function node the function to initialize, later I call inside a while loop the wait function like this
int waitAseconds (double seconds, short stop_waiting)
if(flag==1 || stop_waiting == 1)
flag = 1; //to detect the stop_waiting button
printf("flagAA =1 stop waiting = %d time = %d\n", stop_waiting, clock());
return flag;
else
SleepUS(seconds*1000000);
//a++;
printf("flag a= %d stop waiting = %d time = %d\n", flag, stop_waiting, clock());
return flag;
and when the program detects an interrupt, the function returns to labview the flag and stops the loop. Finally, it reads the values and close communications.
In this way, the prompt appears but after running the application for 10 or 20 minutes and also i checked that there is a time gap between the executions in the loop.
Thanks for your reply and your help,
Jaime

MAX support of SNTP for Real-time controllers

Hey everyone,
I have some PXI systems that allow me to enter a Time Server IP address directly into the MAX setup for the device but I have some other PXI chassis that don't. Does this have to do with the version of Real-time they are running? Can anyone tell me what version of RT and MAX started supporting Time Servers natively through MAX for real-time controllers?
Thanks,
Craig

Hi craige,
It looks like SNTP synchronization is not fully supported for PXI systems:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Configuring-PXI-8184-controller-to-synchronize-to-SNTP-server/td-p/1...
However, for CompactRIO, synchronization with SNTP servers began with LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F2B057C72B537EA2862572D100646D43
The forum post I linked above does have some links to customer created examples relating to NTP and SNTP Time Servers.
Please note that those examples are both unsupported and a little bit on the older side.

Webservices for real time job.

Hi all,
I have configured a real time job that is available as a web service. There was no problem for the first time. However I wanted to change some of the input and output fields on the real time job.
So i modified the real time job in the Designer.
I removed and created the Real time service in the administrator. I have also renamed the Real Time SErvice.
I recreated the webservice for the renamed real time service.
However I am still getting the "old" wsdl with the old real-time service name.
Seems like the WSDL is not updated.
Am i missing out any steps to "refresh" the wsdl?
Thank you.

which version if DI ?
the WSDL should get updated once you add the Real time Service to the Webservice
do you see the Real time service in the WebService status page ?
click on View WSDL, it will open the WSDL in IE, do a find for the service name in that

Hi,
1. Check which variant is assigned to your company code '1000' using this IMG path
IMG->Financial Acctg (New)->Financial actg global settings (New) ->Real-Time integration of Controlling with Financial Actg ->Assign variants for Real-time Integration to Company codes.
2. Check if document type is assigned to the variant assigned to your Company code in this path:
IMG->Financial Acctg (New)->Financial actg global settings (New) ->Real-Time integration of Controlling with Financial Actg -> Define Variants for Real-Time Integration.
Hope this helps.

Defining Account Determination for Real-Time Integr

Dear all,
I haven't understood yet about Account determination for the real-time integration of Controlling (CO) with Financial Accounting (FI).
Please tell accounting process that use this account. And give me a detail example.
Thanks so much
Minhtb

Hello
This is the new feature in New GL accounting
During allocations in Controlling, most of the postings created do not affect Financial Accounting. These postings do not update any G/L account transaction figures; they are postings within Controlling. If, however, an allocation in Controlling leads to a change in the functional area or any other characteristic (such as Profit Center or Segment) that is relevant for evaluations in Financial Accounting, a shift occurs between the affected items in the profit and loss statement. For this reason, this information has to be transferred to Financial Accounting. This reconciliation between Controlling and Financial Accounting takes place by means of real-time integration.
As a result of real-time integration, all Controlling documents that are relevant for General Ledger Accounting are transferred from Controlling to General Ledger Accounting in real time. This means that Financial Accounting is always reconciled with Controlling.
A document is created in Financial Accounting for each posting in Controlling. This means that the detailed information contained in the CO documents is always available in reports in New General Ledger Accounting. This information can be sorted by the following, for example:
●     Functional area
●     Cost center
●     Internal order
Real-time integration replaces the reconciliation postings from the reconciliation ledger. Consequently, you do not need a reconciliation ledger.
If, however, you do not set the Reconciliation Ledger Active indicator in Customizing for the controlling area, you cannot use the reports belonging to report groups 5A* (5AA1-5AW1). You set this indicator in Customizing for Controlling under General Controlling ® Organization ® Maintain Controlling Area. The reconciliation ledger serves as the data source for reports belonging to the report groups 5A*. You find these reports in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Controlling ® Cost Element Accounting ® Information System ® Reports for Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
Replacement reports are available as follows:
●     You find the reports in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Controlling ® Cost Element Accounting ® Information System ® Reports for Cost and Revenue Element Accounting (New).
●     You can create additional reports in report group 5A21. You can assign the report group to any drilldown report of New General Ledger Accounting using the report-report interface.
●     From the report Financial Statements Actual/Actual Comparison, you can call up the report Cost Elements: Breakdown by Company Code. You find the report Financial Statement: Actual/Actual Comparison in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Information System ® General Ledger Reports (New) ® Balance Sheet/Profit and Loss Statement/Cash Flow ® General ® Actual/Actual Comparisons.
You can define account determination for each controlling area. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ® Ledgers ® Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting ® Account Determination for Real-Time Integration. In this way, you use the same account determination as for the reconciliation ledger (transaction OK17). You can then use the reconciliation ledger reports to compare FI balances with CO balances.
Prerequisites
If you use real-time integration in at least one company code, you need to have activated company code validation for the related controlling area. You do this in Customizing for Controlling under General Controlling ® Organization ® Maintain Controlling Area ® Activate Components/Control Indicators. Otherwise, the reconciliation between Financial Accounting and Controlling at company code level is not possible.
In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), you have processed the IMG activities under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ® Ledgers ® Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting.
Activate real-time integration for all company codes between which you want to make CO-internal allocations.
In the IMG activity Define Variants for Real-Time Integration, do not select all CO line items for transfer. If the same line items are to be transferred as through the reconciliation posting from the reconciliation ledger, select the following line items:
●      Cross-Company Code
●      Cross-Business Area
●      Cross-Functional Area
●      Cross-Fund (if you use Public Sector Management)
●      Cross-Grant (if you use Public Sector Management)
Features
Value flows within Controlling that are relevant for General Ledger Accounting such as assessments, distributions, confirmations, and CO-internal settlements are transferred immediately. The FI documents are posted with the business transaction COFI. They contain the number of the CO document. This means that you can call up the CO document from the FI document, and vice versa.
Activities
If a document could not be transferred because the posting period was blocked in Financial Accounting or no account was found, for example, the document is included in a postprocessing worklist. You need to check this worklist regularly and process any documents in it. From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Corrections ®Post CO Documents to FI.
Example
An internal order for business area 0001 is settled to a cost center of business area 0002. The document from this allocation is transferred in real time to Financial Accounting.

Hello, certainly it is possible and sufficient for real-time tracking!
About eye tracking - if you need an example, you can find the code here:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/blogs/kl3m3n/2013/10/08/real-time-face-and-eye-detection-in-labview-u...
The code uses OpenCV functionalities along with the LabView UI (and some other functions like overlay).
Hope this helps a bit.

Process speed necessary for real time livetype & Motion

Does anybody remember the minimum processor speed necessary to
run LIVETYPE and MOTION from WITHIN FCP5...not as seperate apps?
The online spec sheets indicate the speeds necessary for running as seperate apps,
but not for real time from withing FCP5...at least, not the ones I can find.
Thanks.

Where did you encounter the promise of real time in FCP?
Can't be done AFAIK.
Even if possible, you'd only get a few misleading preview frames.
We've got our new biga$$ Macs arriving in a few weeks. I'll let ya know if anything happens real time in FCP.

Configuring SSL for Real-Time Collaboration

Hi,
We installed OCS10gR1 because we want to use Real-Time collaboration for delivering support. At this moment we are trying to configure SSL. We already worked through the following guides :
- Real-time collaboration admin guide
- OCS admin guide
- OCS Security guide
- OPMN admin guide
but it's still very fuzzy. It's hard to get a clear overview about the steps to follow to get SSL working for RTC. Is there some kind of "cookbook" or simple guide which describes all the steps in a clear way.
Thank you

Starting a Physical Standby DB which is configured with real-time apply

Hi,
I wanted to get clarification on the correct procedure for starting and stopping a physical standby database. The Dataguard documentation states the following:
1. Start and mount the database:
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
2. Start log apply services:
To start Redo Apply, issue the following statement:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
To start real-time apply, issue the following statement:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
2> USING CURRENT LOGFILE;
My configuration is using real-time apply based on the information provided by the RECOVERY_MODE column of the V$ARCHIVED_DEST_STATUS view. Should I execute both ALTER statements or just the second one. If only the second one, how will the database re-synchronize, especially after a long down time. Also, must I do anything on the primary database prior to starting up the physical standby?
I'm using Oracle 10g SP1 on a linux server.

No. But you can recover until the last arch file generated on the primary, then you cancel the recovery and then use query#2 to start applying real-time. Refer to Note:343424.1 on Metalink.

Working Collaboratively Across Teams Scenario Installation Guide
1     Purpose
The purpose of this scenario is to provide an example of how SAP Enterprise Portal can enable your teams to work collaboratively within the same functional team, or across functional teams with the use of the Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP).
Following you will find the information on how you can install this scenario. The Scenario Installation Guide provides you with the information you need to set up your business scenario configuration.
Note that the installation documentation for SAP Best Practices business scenarios is structured on two levels:
     Scenario Installation Guide: one document for a business scenario
     Building Block Configuration Guide: one document for a building block, but several documents for a scenario installation
The Scenario Installation Guide is the backbone of the installation documentation and describes which building blocks you need to install for this scenario and prescribes the order you have to follow when you install them.
For the installation of each building block, you have to refer to the corresponding Building Block Configuration Guide where you can find detailed configuration procedures of this building block.
Always use the Scenario Installation Guide (this document) as the starting point for all your installation activities.
For a successful installation of the entire scenario, it is important:
     that you follow the structure in the Scenario Installation Guide from the first to the last installation activity
     that you carry out all installation activities of a building block before you start with the next building block.
2     Prerequisites
     You have a live SAP R/3 backend system.
     SAP GUI installed on your machine to use Win GUI iView.
     You have read the essential document, Building Block N00: Essential Information.
     You have the End User role (eu_role) assigned to your user.
Collaboration Launch Pad: Activate Link:
The Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP) allows portal users to manage their contacts and launch services for collaboration. Users click a link in the tool area of the portal header to launch the CLP.
If you want to display the link to launch the CLP in the portal header after installing the Collaboration component, you must activate it manually in the attributes for the tool area of the default framework page.
Procedure
1.     Open the portal in a browser and go to:
SAP Netweaver Portal     Content Administration ® Portal Content ® Portal Users ® Standard Portal Users ® Default Framework Page
2.     Double-click Default Framework Page.
3.     Select the Tool Area iView checkbox.
4.     Choose Open. The Property Editor page displays.
5.     Choose Show All in the Property Category drop list menu.
