RTD Configuration

I am designing a system that reads and logs measurements from 3 RTDs. I am using the NI 9217 RTD to acquire the temperature readings and have been able to display the temperature readings in LabVIEW. However, the temperature readings are not correct. I know this has to do with the setup of the RTDs. However, I am not sure if I need to select PT3750 or the other preset types or use the custom. The RTD model we are using is from Omega.com and is part # PR-10-2-100-1/4-12-E. I have tried to find the A,B, and C coefficients from Omega.com, but all I can find is an alpha value of .00385. How should I set up the RTD input for this model number?

Hello,
I am unsure of the information you were seeking from the link in the earlier post, but here is what I found based upon the original question posed.

T42 Restore factory configuration impossible - but recovery part exist

Hello,
I have a T42 (IBM bought in my business school)
When I bought it the PC had 4 part in the Hard Drive
2 part visible
- C: SYSTEM
- E: USER DATA
1 part hidden
- IBM_Service W: (the recovery part) - all the program and a 2 drive partition C and D or E
+ BIOS
To be able to restore the factory configuation I had in the menu to start Windows Two choices
- Start Windows normally
- Restore factory configuration
Due to a problem on the laptop I had to restore the factory configuration 2 or 3 times in the last two yearss. It worked well two times.
But Last time the Laptop did not recognize after the restoration the E: DRIVE. It was on the computer but with no name and no possibility to access it.
I uses TESTDISK to regive a name E to this part and be able to use it and restore the data in it but during the process the Recovery part (Drive W which was hidden appeared on the System list
On the same time the choice "Restore factory configuration " on the list of the start of Windows disappear. I use my friend computer to put back on the list the name of the choice but this link can't restore the Factory configuration because it is no longer configurate for it.
Is there a possibility to boot the PC on the Recovery part in order to restore the factory configuration?
does this manipulation will keep my 2 drive configuration C: + USER DATA drive (E with all the data saved in it? That works the first two times
Thanks in advance for your help
This will help me very much

Whoever told you this was mistaken. With the exception of hardware changes (eg modem from T41 to T42) the disks within a series should work just fine (I've just recovered aT41 with my T42 CDs). The only difference in using early T42 recovery with a later T42 is the fingerprint reader. Later T42 disks should work just fine with an early T42. Go ahead and use your T42 disks on her machine.

The "write key" configuration file vi use of "trim string" prior to writing the data can modify any string data written.

I tried to use the config VIs to record some front-panel settings for later restoration, one of which could be a single space character (part of a string parsing system).
I soon discovered that whenever I tried to save that single-space value to an INI file, only a null string was saved.
After doing some digging I discovered that buried in the Write Key vi is a worker vi called Config Data Modify that uses Trim String on the string data before it is written to the file and that's what was eating my string character. I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature but there are at least three ways to fix it.
1) Assuming you want to leave the library VIs alone, you can pre-process any stings sent to "write key" to replace all spaces with "\20" and then post-process all strings read using "read key" to replace all instances of \20 with spaces.
and if you don't mind modifying the library VIs, either to save/use under a different name or to stick back into the library in a modified state (caution - can cause problems when you move code to another machine with an un-modified library) then...
2) You can yank the trim-string out of the Config Data Modify vi and hope that it does not have any undesirable side effects with regards to the other routines that use Config Data Modify (so far I have not found any in my limited testing)
or
3) You can modify the string pre-processing vi, Remove Unprintable Chars, to add the space character to the list of characters that get swapped out automatically.
Note that both option #1 (as suggested above) and option #3 will produce an INI file data entry that looks like key="\20Hello\20World\20" while option #2 produces an entry that looks like key=" Hello World "

Hi Warren,
there's a 4th option:
Simply set the "write raw string" input of the write key function to TRUE
This option only appears when a string is wired to that function!
Just re-checked:
I think it's a limitation of the config file format. It's text based and (leading) spaces in the value are "overseen" as whitespaces. So your next option would be to use quotes around your string with spaces...

"Display cannot switch to secondary landscape with this configuration" Error on x201 T

Hi, I've just bought x201 for 2 weeks. Today I tried to rotate the screen in tablet mode so I can get the battery with my hand when I read documents but after rotation and after just 1-2 second it automatically get back to primary landsacpe view and gives me this error. I wonder what is the problem and more importantly what is the solution?
thanks

More info: I turned off auto-login, and was able to log in to my test account. Then, I was able to use fast user switching to switch to my main account. I will try again restarting into my main account and see if I can switch to Test. This failed consistently before I posted here. Perhaps the "sense Mac guru" circuit kicked in and cured the problem. I'm about ready to turn in so won't post a follow-up until tomorrow. Right now, I need to use my two accounts to get the job done (a writing job with screen shots of a new unaltered account). Then, I'll go back to trying to see if the problem still exists when I log in to the main account first.

How to open a configuration file with a relative path?

I want to open a configuration file during the initialization of my application (first "state," u can say) and I am using "Open Config file.vi" and tried to pass the config file's path as "data\myconfig.ini" and the "File exists?" vi didn't give any error (simply, the output was "false") but the Open config File gave an error.
If I pass an absolute path "D:\xyz\xyz\myconfig.ini" it works fine. Isn't it allowed to use "relative path" as I remember using it before for other tasks?
I actually prefer to have this file in the "data" folder that my application's setup will create in the destination directory while installing the application, because it will be easy when I want to ask the user to open and edit it. Or, I would just put it in "C:\" which exists on all the windows computers, but then it would be too much open.
Thanks ahead!

Go to Solution.

Relative paths have sometimes a meaning for command line tools (where a relative path gets appended to the current path, which usually is the executables directory).
But for Windows GUI applications that makes not much sense. Windows also maintains a per process current path, but that path gets updated by several Windows APIs, one of them being the File Dialog. So whatever your user has last selected in any file dialog inside your application will from then on be the applciations current path. It should be clear that with such a braindamaged current path implementation it has basically no useful meaning, and LabVIEW consequently does not do path expansion, where relative paths are expanded by prepending them with the applications current path.
Also LabVIEW uses mostly the Windows 32 Bit API, which does provide the current path implementation but does almost not use it in any of its file operations. The use of that feature is mostly reserved for the Windows shell API, which is a higher level API that can as best be described as a collection of various APIs that have been thrown together by whatever some MS developer felt at the moment. You can not by any means call it a designed API at all, and LabVIEW makes almost no use of it, as it needs lower level access, to make its operation similar in its working across all the platforms, LabVIEW can run on.
So while you can work with relative paths inside your application (and actually should as much as possible to make your application not depend on a particular location) you should make that path absolute whenever you pass it to a function that actually accesses a file somewhere.

How can I print out the objects with the configuration and connections? I want to document my programming (configuration) on paper.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

The datamember configurations can be exported. In edit mode, File->Export Process Data Members...
But the connections cannot be exported.
You can open the .lks file by notepad, there you will see the source codes, including the connections you configure. But you need to extract them manually.

1505n printer wired to network will not print configuration for IP address

I have a HP 1505n printer that will not the configuration page so that I can get the IP address to set it up. I know it's not the cat5e cable because I've tested it by plugging my laptop to and it works fine. The operating system is Windows 2008r2. I currently have 2 other 1505n printers which work great using a HP universal driver. Cat5e cable unplugged it will print and UBS cable connected to a PC it will print a usb config page. I followed HP's advice on resetting the printer but get the same results. Any suggestions?

How to get the configuration of a bank (not with FP get configuration info)?

Hi everybody!
    I need my fieldPoint application to be able to check
for the filedpoint structure, that is I want my application
to return the number of FP nodes, and for each node how many FP IO modules are connected, and of which
type.
   I'd like not to use "FP get configuration info",
which is based on locating the .iak file. I have my .iak file
correctly generated, but I do not want to use it.
   At the end, I'd like to have a variable configuration, and when I change module order and number, I don't want
to re-generate a .iak file, (because I don't want to use MAX... ).
   Should I query my modules until I reach an error?......
graziano

First of all, thanks, Khalid!
   I want to use the COM port. I gave a look to the "Find
FP-100x example", based on optomux commands, and I found it very
interesting, to my purpose. But I have some questions about it.
   First of all, in the example I have to provide explicitly
an address (the fp1001 address, 0x0 for me), so I should build a loop,
in which I scan all possible addresses (that is 0, 10, 20,... ) which
generate many errors, in normal conditions.
    After this, in the example I get a Module ID, which is:
   FP1001 -----> ID: 2
   FP-DI-301 --> ID 105
   FP-DO-401 --> ID 106
   FP-DI-301 --> ID 105
   FP-DO-401 --> ID 106.
   The list actually matches the order of my FP chain, but
I'd like to know if these IDs are given to the modules when
they're configured for the first time in MAX, or are set in HW?
   Thanks!

I need to get into the Bios of my p6112p, when I hit F10 it says entering the configuration &doesnt?

I have a hp p6112p that was stuck by lightning. I had to replace the motherboard to get the power supply to turn on. The computer then goes to the Bios start up screen and when you hit F10 it say entering the configuration but never does just stay on the same screen. I replaced the CPU. Same problem. I had my hard drives tested and both are ok. I was told by the company that I purchased the MB from that my memory most likely wasnt compadible. I have tried super talent, g.skill, & acer and no memory worked. I called the company I got the MB again and he said it isnt a defective MB because I and getting to the start up of the Bios screen. He still says its the memory and that Its not like I am a computer store were I have 20 different brands I can try until I find one thats compadible. Can somebody PLEASE HELP ME???? I really am at witts end! Thanks

Hello reblthepit, HP systems are a bit picky about what memory will work in a HP system.
You might want to go to Crucial.com and run their memory configurator and let Crucial advise the memory that is certified compatible with your system. This takes the guessing out of trying to purchase memory that is supported for your system.
Just because the motherboard will boot the start of the bIOS does not neccessarily tell you a lot. If you had some memory issues, and no memory was recognized by the BIOS, you would be getting some beep error codes.
If the motherboard was not a genuine HP Provided motherboard, it will not work with the HP provided operating system. You would need to purchase a new operating system.
You also could not just replace the motherboard and try to start the system without a new installation of the operating system. There would just be too many driver conflicts.
Just some thoughts.

Using Teststand, need to know how to select a different active x servers in the labview adapter configuration...

Hi,
When I open TestStand using a seq. file, I can see all the VI's that are called, but when I try to open them for editing, I see this message;
"The labview adapter is currently configured to run tests in an environment that does not support editing VI's. In order to edit or create VI's, you must select a different labview Active X server in the lab view adapter environment"
So, I clicked on all the options allowed to me in the "Module Adapter" (is this the same as the drop down menu (by default)"Labview Standard Prototype adapters") but I was still unable to open the VI�s for editing�
Anyone know how or why?

Hi,
You will find the option under Configure | Adapters...then select the labview and press the configure button.
So if you are not able to do this then it could be because your system doesn't have the LabVIEW development system or you do not have adminstrator rights (Teststand login) or it could be that your VI's have been saved without diagrams.
What are you logged in as?
Do you know if you have labVIEW?

How do you create a section in labview using the configuration file vis

I'm trying to create a new section in Labview. All i see is the possibilties to read sections and keys, write keys, delete sections. Is there a way to write a new section in Labview.
Thanks,
Brandon
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you write to a key, you have to supply a section. If the section isn't there, then it will be created. Basically, you can't have a section without any keys.

Save and recall front panel configuration on FPGA

First of all, I am a first time user of Labview. The application is with an FPGA on a NI-9146 board.
My question is, I would like to save the front panel settings when I exit the application, then recall them the next time the application is started.
Seems to be a few ways to do this but are not supported with the FPGA module.
The application is fairly straight forward timing and the Windows host PC will provide a GUI to the operator.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but this task is more tedious then it needs to be.
The normal way of doing this on the FPGA is to plop down a FPGA read function for every control on the FPGA front panel, then write them to a file. Probably using an OpenG function, but really something like the binary write would work if you don't expect to add/remove items. Then when the application starts you need to reverse the process ploping down a FPGA write function for every control.
Now there is a slighly easier way that in theory works in a limited use case. The FPGA VI when running is just like a normal VI and you can get a reference to it. Here you could run the OpenG Write Panel to INI, and Read Panel from INI. These are two canned functions that save tons of time. Now the reason this might not work for most FPGA developers is because in the end, the goal is to not see the FPGA VI and instead only run the bit file and call into the FPGA using the hooks NI provides. It sounds like you are going to have the VI shown anyway so this method may actually work for you.
It does kinda suck and I think it would be nice if NI had a way to read and write all FPGA front panel controls at once for things like this.

I'm tring to install two Daqcard700's in same computer running Win2000 and Nidaq6.9.2 and the cards are not given two different device numbers by the NIDAQ device configuration wizard.

One Daqcard 700 and one daqcard 16x-50e in same machine work fine but two Daqcard 700's are not assigned two diferrent device numbers by the device configuration wizard.

I have this same problem with the previously described observations. I tried two Daqcard-700s in three different laptops, two with Windows XP and One with Windows 2000. Tried all suggestions in Knowledgebase and Forum I could find with no luck. Single cards work ok. Removed and reinstalled drivers in Device Manager. Tried the Windows 2000 patch for this problem. Changed the PCMCIA adapters on the laptop to Generic Cardbus Controller from one suggestion. Running Labview 6.1 with Ni-Daq 6.9.3 and Max 3.1. Tried also Max 2.1.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
