Update cFP-2010 embedded executable without LV

Hello everyone,
I would like to update the embeded executable on a cFP-2010 controller (using LV7.1 and RT7.1). The issue is that the cFP is on a remote location (I am in Australia, the unit is on a maching in the US). The cFP is connected to a host PC which has NI-MAX installed, but does not have LV (due to licencing issues). As I would like to upgrade the executable on the cFP without having a PC which has LV, where I could just get someone to use the App Builder, can anyone suggest a method to update the executable on the cFP without LV?
I have tried to simply replace the STARTUP folder by copying it using a ftp through windows explorer, but i have run into a bag of troubles using this method.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David

If you can ftp to the unit you can also probably connect to the unit in LabVIEW (i.e. set the execution target to the
unit) from your remote PC. I have done this successfully to a cFP2020 connected to a XPHome PC which
has a dial-in network connection configured. I simply dial up the PC, and set the execution target to the local
IP address of the fieldpoint. At 28kbaud, the download is slow (and there are spurious "not responding" error
messages during download which I simply ignore), but it works just like I am there. I can also load MAX, find the
remote fieldpoint, and diddle with it to my heart's content.
Caveat's: Internet security firewalls can interfere and must be configured to allow you the appropriate network
access through the local PC. Also, a dial-up may be too show for the LabVIEW front-panel connection to keep
up if the front-panel is much beyond bare-bones.
But there is no reason why you must have a full-blown LabVIEW development system connected locally  to the
fieldpoint to build and install an application on it. You just need a way of establishing a network connection to
it. Out-of-the-box XP dial-up connections work satisfactorily, as my own experience demonstrates.

  • Updating Exchange 2010 SP2 to SP3

    Hi,

  • Serial ports crash on cFP-2010 using LVRT 6.1.1 and 6.1.3

    I have LabVIEW RT 6.1 and cFP-2010. I am trying to write an embedded VI that will communicate with some external hardware through the serial ports, but I am not able to get the serial ports to work. Because I do not have LV7 I cannot use the VISA VIs for serial communication. I am using the old serial compatibility VIs. When it tries to configure a port (port 0 or 1) it sometimes says Error 37 but usually it just reboots the cFP module. I've tried writing new VIs from scratch and I've tried running old VIs that I had written for FP-2000 that uses the serial port, neither works. Can anybody help?

    I have used the serial ports in LV 6.1 without trouble.
    I would suggest you contact NI for a possible replacement of your cFP-2010. It sounds like it has a bad serial port.

  • I need to install LabView RT on a cFP-2010, but I only have LabView RT 2012 (need 8.5.1???)

    Hello,
    I have a cFP-2010 module that I got ahold of which has a software problem.  When I got into the module through MAX, I got a message that said there was no software loaded and that the module was operating in safe-mode.  I rebooted the cFP-2010 in user directed safe-mode and reformatted the disk.  According to online documentation, the latest version of LabView RT that will work on a cFP-2010 is LabView RT 8.5.1.  The only version of LabView RT that I have to work with is 2012.  How do I load 8.5.1 on this module to get it working again?  Is there a download available somehwere?  When I go to load software on the module in MAX, there is no option for installing LabView RT... which appears to be what is required.  Thanks!

    Hello mdlund0,
    If you do not have LabVIEW 8.5.1 and LabVIEW Real-Time 8.5.1 installed on your computer, then you will not see the option in MAX to push that software to your device.  In order to optain that software, you will most likely need to contact your account representative.  You can reach the NI customer service line at (800) 531-5066.
    In terms of version compatibility, newer versions of LabVIEW are not supported on the cFP-2010 because of the limited memory available; the older software does not take as much space.  This does not mean that you will be unable to use newer versions, just that the behavior is unsupported and the configuration not recommended.  I would also like to inform you that you can interface with a FieldPoint device without having Real-Time installed on that device.  You can both install software and pull data programmatically without having Real-Time.  Please see these references for more information:

    Turned out the hardware was bad.  Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great.  Thank goodness it was a defect.  If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

  • Run a LabView 2012 executable without installing RTE.

    I have a thumbdrive with a LabView executable that is ready to run.  I want to be able to run this executable on different PC's without having to install the Run Time Engine on each machine.  What dll do I need to have in the same directories as the executable so I can run the executable without actually installing the Run Time Engine.  Thanks in advance.
    Sebastian

    Like the others said, there's no official way of doing this.
    That said, the answer to your actual question is "lvrt.dll" and some of the others in the same folder (I don't remember offhand which folder it was. Look for it yourself). Note that there are some caveats:
    The last time I did something like this was around LV 7.0. I didn't check in later versions, but I seem to recall someone who usually knows what he's talking about saying that it doesn't work at some point after 8.0.
    Even if it does still work, this will only support things which are in those DLLs and don't have any other dependencies. That means things like VISA, DAQmx, other drivers and possibly even some of the display elements which are based on MESA for rendering or on other external resources.
    It obviously won't be supported in any way.

  • My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having the os between?

    My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having any of the osystems that are in between these two?

    I would suggest Snow Leopard from there. Last I heard, telesales were selling it at $20 for the single user.
    With that, you can run mostly everything that runs in Tiger, providing you specify Rosetta to be installed (custom installs).
    You will almost certainly have problems with printer and scanner drivers unless they're very new models.
    Also, some software may need updates (Adobe in particular) not all of which are free.
    Normally, you can install 10.6.3 directly over the Tiger installation without upsetting your user data, applications or preferences, but you should always back up to an external drive, preferably as a bootable clone (you can use the Restore function in Disk Utility or a number of third-party apps for this).
    I've done 8 installs from Tiger to SL; 6 of them went without any problems, but 2 of them wouldn't install until I erased the HDD and did a clean installation. Should that be necessary, you migrate your data back from the external during the Setup process.
    For Lion, your specification is minimal and you can't make use of more than another GB of RAM (your maximum is 3GB). It would run, but very slowly.
    Also, Lion doesn't have Rosetta and will not run older PPC applications (like Apple Works and older versions of MS Office), or indeed drivers for peripherals that were written in PPC code, so you'd be looking at more expense to replace a lot of programmes.

  • Acrobat v8.1.2 Word 2003 Vista x64 embedding fonts without subset?

    Acrobat v8.1.2 Word 2003 Vista x64 embedding fonts without subset?
    Relative newbie: Every time I create a pdf from a 330 page Word 2003 doc file I end up with a very nice pdf file with all the fonts embedded as 'Embedded Subset' when I was simply hoping for 'Embedded'.
    I turned off embedding altogether in the Word Options and it didn't make any difference.
    I have cleared:
    Printers / Adobe pdf / fonts / Subset embedded fonts when percentage of characters used is less than...
    I also have the pdf Converter Advanced Options / True Type Font set to 'Download As Softfont'
    ..and the Postscript Output Option set as 'Optimize for Portability'
    .."Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." is unchecked
    Any suggestions? tia

    Well, I was following instructions on a website on how to create a pdf and a printscreen showed the Acrobat fonts window with just 'Embedded'.
    The instructions were a little vague, to be honest, and I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. The pdf is going to a Print on Demand publishing house so I suppose it may well end up in any printer's you care to name in any Country you care to name...

  • Unable to update Office 2010 to 14.0.7128.5000 with Sp2

    Attempting to streamline updates for Office 365 rollout and when trying to update Office 2010 to SP2 14.0.7128.5000. no matter what hotfix I install or even through windows updates, I cannot get the version to read 14.0.7128.5000. I believe the version
    showing is 14.0.7015.1000.

    Hi Brian,
    It looks like 14.0.7015.1000 is the final version of Office 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2). For the specific version number of 14.0.7128.5000, I can only find it on this KB article -  July
    8, 2014 update for Office 2010 (KB2837581).
    Only one .dll file is affected by this update. I have tested it that it will not change the version number of your Office 2010 Service Pack 2.
