Software upgrades to 8170 cpu?

How much of a pain is it to upgrade an 8170 cpu to XP and newer
versions of Labview? Came across an 8170 new in the box with NT and
was wondering how involved the upgrades are? Anyone done this and know
of hitches or difficult issues, or do the updates go smoothly?
Interested in user's perspective. Have not purchased the unit and am
new to Labview. ... Thanks!

Hello,
In essence a PXI controller such as the PXI-8170 is a mini computer.  Therefore when looking at upgrading or installing software on the controller you have to make sure that it meets the system requirements for that software (Ram, Free hard Drive Space, Processor type and speed, etc.).  Just be sure that the 8170's hardware meets the system requirements for Windows XP and the version of LabVIEW that you want to upgrade to.

  • Oracle 9i database software upgrade issue with standby (Dataguard) database

    All,
    I have encountered a problem in upgrading the Oracle software on 2 of our databases in-house. The databases in question here are using Dataguard, so one is set to primary and one is set to standby. The version that they are/were starting at is 9.2.0.7.
    I was able to install and complete the 9.2.0.8 and 9.2.0.8 OCT CPU patches on the primary database, however when I moved to working on the standby database, I am got an error when attempting to follow step 6 of the post installation tasks:
    Enter the following SQL*Plus commands:
    SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE
    SQL> SPOOL patch.log
    SQL> @ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\catpatch.sql
    SQL> SPOOL OFF
    (Please note that this is my first experience with working with Dataguard, so my methods in updating might have been a bit off-base.)
    If I attempt to startup the standby database in MIGRADE mode, I get the following error (which is expected):
    ORA-01666: controlfile is for a standby database
    If I try to run the catpatch.sql script, even after mounting the database in standby mode, I receive the additional error:
    ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
    My question here is, how do I get the standby database to allow me to finish the software upgrade process, so that both versions of Oracle match on the primary and standby databases? :)
    (I did try some research on Metalink, but only found an article detailing how to upgrade your dataguard database from 9i to 10g, which did not look especially helpful in this case...)
    Thank you!
    -Sabrina

    Depending on the kind of Dataguard you currently have, physical or logical, there are two useful metalinks notes:

  • Installing software upgrade

    Hello,
    I am about to install v4.5 on my Curve 8310.  I am wondering what will happen to all of my emails, messages, calandar entries, pictures etc when I install the new software.  Will I lose it all?

    Not to be a doubting Thomas but my upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6 for my 8310 Curve has been nothing but a nightmare for the last 5 days on my XP Pro service pack three.
    The software installer ran the CPU up to 100% and never completed the install... I've done a regedit uninstalls three times now and still no joy in getting 4.6 to install.
    My curve is not a brick (yet) but without synchronization my Curve has become more of a burden (time wise) than a benefit. There are other posts on the forum regarding problems with install. Read them carefully. Five days I've spent struggling to get the installer to work. You can see my posts here and the videos on youtube of the trouble I've had.
    Support has been mildly helpful but still no joy here.

  • Loss of Internet connection after software upgrade

    After carrying out a software upgrade last weekend which included iTunes 10.4.1, Remote Desktop 3.5.1 I'm finding that my internet connection stalls and the iMac hangs after unspecified periods of time.  Sometimes I can carryout a restart, other times I require a hard reset to get the iMac running again.
    All will be fine and then once again Internet will stop working and eventually the iMac will hang again.
    I've tried a number of actions to see what's going on, there are no processes hung or taking up huge ammounts of CPU.  If I try to refresh the IP address of the Ethernet connection from the router this is possible, but you still can't browse to a page.
    I've also tried deleting some of the .plist info from the System Prefs area and having Lion re-build them but that hasn't worked either.
    My next thought was a complete re-build of Lion from scratch, but before I start down that road, has anyone any other ideas?
    System specs are;
    iMac 2.8GHz C2Duo
    4GB Ram
    Running Lion 10.7.1
    Many thanks,
    Stuart.

    Hi Larry,
    If you go to Control Panel -> Network Connections (For Vista and Windows 7: Network and Sharing Center) -> Double click on your Network Adaptor (Vista and 7: Top left hand corner of the Network and Sharing Center, click on 'Change Adaptor Settings' and double click on your adaptor. Click Properties and scroll down to 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4), click Properties and make sure that 'Obtain an IP Address automatically' and Obtain DNS server address automatically' are ticked. Click Ok, then OK, then finally close. Check to see if you have connectivity. If you don't, go to start, in Run (Or in the search bar) type 'cmd'. Once Command Prompt opens, type 'ipconfig /flushdns'. Close Command Prompt and check again. If you still don't have Internet connectivity, go to Internet explorer and click Tools -> Internet Options (If you have Internet Explorer 7 or 8, press Alt before looking for tools. This will make the bar appear). Go to the Connections Tab and click on 'Lan Settings'. Make sure that you do not have 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' ticked. Also make sure that you have 'Automatically Detect Settings' ticked. Once you have done this, click Ok, Apply and Ok and check again for connectivity. If this didn't resolve your problem please post back
    Sorry for the long answer

    WHEN I DOWNLOADED THE ABOVE ENHANCEMENTS Itunes and others would not open do to the current architecture!
    I would like to bring this machine up to aq more modern Safari browser but again the current architecture is a issue...
    Currently, this is what I am working with....

    Hello,
    As far as Browsers...
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

  • Phone not working after the software upgrade

    I performed the software upgrade as indicated by the phone in the notifications.
    One the phone rebooted, I proceeded to enter my email accounts and it froze on a white screen with a spinning wheel.
    I rebooted and it continued to freeze.
    I took the battery out, rebooted, still can't add email accounts.  It freezes in the setting section.  I actually can't change any settings.
    If I reply to a text, the screen freezes black.
    If I try to reply to an email, the screen says, "Could not display this message"
    I have wiped it three times, powered off a billion times and still keeps freezing.  The update has been nothing but grief. 
    Any advice??

  • Since the software upgrade connecting to hotspot from my iphone with my ipad is not working.

    Since the software upgrade , I cannot connect my ipad2 to my iphone 4s via the phones hotspot.  Regular wifi is ok.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I tried resetting the network settings on the ipad, but it didn't help.  The ipad sees the hotspot, but doesn't connect.  My phone service is with Verizon.

    I think I solved the problem.  I did a network reset on both the ipad and iphone.  So far so good.

    I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

    You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.

  • IPod Touch skips, stutters, glitches through songs since software upgrade!

    Hi everyone,
    *Since I upgraded my iPod Touch* to the latest available software update +(for the 1st Gen is 3.1.3)+, it has become *unable to properly play any music encoded above 128kbps*. Before the upgrade, my iPod could play music encoded in any higher bitrates like a champ! All the way to 320kbps, variable, even Apple Lossless format used to play flawlessly.
    Suddenly after the last *firmware update*, most of the songs in my iPod Touch would *skip, glitch and garble, making electronic glitches and annoying noises* for no apparent reason. On occasion, the iPod would even *add several second of silence in the middle of random songs*. It's bizarre!
    It definitely took me a while to figure it out, and spent weeks testing and researching what could be the problem. It was truly driving me nuts! The result of all these tests was clear: the *iPod Touch now CHOKES on any music file encoded higher than 128 kbps ACC*. Truly pathetic for such an expensive little jukebox. Even the early MP3 players I owned 10 years ago were able to play variable rate MP3 files without a glitch. *_This is a major bug that needs to be solved_*.
    For those interested, I did the following tests through my weeks of research to find out the culprit to this problem:
    - - - Reinstalled the device software
    - - - Reformatted the device, then updated the software
    - - - Uninstalled all apps, reinstalled and tested my music after reinstalling each app
    - - - Disabled Wi-Fi (no difference)
    - - - Copied over my music library from scratch, several times (it was painful)
    - - - Reformatted a few albums in different bitrates, from 96kbps, all the way to 320kbps, both in constant and variable rates, and tested them one by one. This took days.
    In the end, there is one thing that was consistently clear: *any songs encoded over 128kbps would skip, glitch and sound corrupted. Time after time*. All those music files I had encoded at higher rates +(192 kbps, variable 240 kbps and beyond)+ would make the iPod choke.
    There is one temporary solution to this mess, but it involves reducing the quality of your music files: The only way I can now play my music collection in my iPod Touch without skips and glitches is by downconverting my files to the now *obsolete 128kbps*. Only when I converted my music to 128kbps, the annoying skips and glitches stopped. For an audiophile like myself, this was an absolutely painful decision, as I can tell the *obvious loss in quality and nuance in my music files since i had to downconvert them*.
    Funny: this skipping problem *also affects any files purchased from iTunes* +(encoded at 240 kbps variable rate)+. Should I ask for my money back, Apple?
    I find this irritating and painful, since *the ONE THING the iPod is supposed to do well* (aside from apps, games, and web browsing) *is to PLAY AUDIO AND MUSIC FILES*.
    I spent a lot of money on this machine, and until recently it worked like magic; I just wished it played music again like it's supposed to. It's what the iPod was built to do. *Apple: Please fix the software!*
    I wonder if there's a forum where I could post my detailed findings, so Apple engineers can take note of this *MAJOR BUG*.
    PS: I have recently learned this is a very common bug, and tons of people are reaching out telling me they are experiencing the same annoying problems. Furthermore, *this seems to affect not just the 1st Gen, but ALL generations of the iPod Touch*. It's a *widespread software issue* that was not properly addressed in the latest software upgrade. I'm starting to worry about Apple's quality assurance process.

    Hi everyone. Thanks to a tip in another forum, I think I had a breakthrough regarding this problem. I have the strong suspicion it's not the software for the iPod Touch, but instead, the problem comes from *iTunes and how it handles USB 2.0 transfers*.
    To make a long story short, all your *music that's encoded above 128 kbps gets corrupted when you transfer it to your Touch from iTunes through your USB 2.0 connection*. That's where the problem is!
    I performed this simple test:
    *PART 1 - WIFI*
    - I connected my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi to the iTunes Store. Bought an album encoded at a very high bitrate (Coldplay's "Viva la Vida", encoded at 256KBPS).
    - Downloaded the Coldplay album directly to my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi.
    - Tested every song in the album, and they all played flawlessly.
    *PART 2 - USB 2.0*
    - Now, I erased the Coldplay album from my iPod Touch.
    - Connected my iPod Touch to my computer, and downloaded the album again via iTunes. I copied the very same album to my iPod Touch, this time using the USB 2.0 connection.
    - I tested every song in the album. Guess what: most of them are corrupted, skipping, glitching, making garbled noises.
    I think a reached a minor "eureka" moment. *It's not the iPod Touch software: It's iTunes, and how iTunes deals with your USB 2.0 connection*.
    Now, I'm not an engineer, and I don't know how to fix this problem. I wonder if there's anyone out there there that knows why high bitrate files get corrupted during the file transfer. Hope anyone can shed some additional light on this issue, so we can find a solution.

  • Ipod no longer works in car after software upgrade

    After doing the most recent software upgrade on my ipod touch, the device is no longer recognised when i cnnect it to my car stereo (infinity). How can i uninstall the last upgrade??

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However, sometime the iOS update breaks compatibility and yo have to wait for either an iOS update or a firmware update for your car system.

    As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.
