Upgrading computer with FPGA interface

We are going to be upgrading a computer that is about 10 years old and uses a Com port to interface to an FPGA, running Lab View. The new computer only has USB, just wondering if a cable converter (with driver) work ok with the new computer runing the old executable? Also wondering if anyone knows if upgrading from windows ME to windows XP will cause any problems? The Lab View also interfaces with an NI PCI-DIO32 card.
Thanks Paul.

Hi GerdW,
Thank you.
it works with your solution, but it create another problem with another vi (see picture).

FPGA interface dynamic does not connect with FPGA interface based Vi

Hi all,
I have to use a vi (using an FPGA interface in in its inpouts), in an other Vi (which call directly FPGA Dynamic ( when i opened FPGA reference and configure with an FPGA vi or a bitfile the FPAGA interface take dynamic by default)
but i cannot connect the two vi by they FPGA references (plz see picture).
did anyone had had this problem before and what is the solution for that?

I have never been able to use the Macmail feature. Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct. Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in. It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Bought Computer with Vista and received a free Windows 7 upgrade - can I download Windows 7?

I purchased my computer with Windows Vista and was able to get a free upgrade of Windows 7. I've scanned my computer for viruses on Microsoft and they find no viruses. My anti-virus program has scanned the computer and has found nothing.
Yesterday I was trying to install a program and that's when my anti-virus program told me there was a threat. It removed it and I kept on with the installation. After that my Internet Explorer doesn't work and when I go to "Uninstall
Programs" it only shows that I have just Microsoft programs, everything under "M" and nothing else. I've tried to restore my computer and every time after a restore it gives me an error code 0x80070005. I've turned off anti-virus
and restored and have even restored in Safe Mode but still get the same error message. Does anyone know what I can do to get this straightened out??

Hi,
What is the anti-virus program you have on your computer? Please take a try to uninstall the 3rd party anti-virus program and then perform the system restore under
system recovery options.
Some 3rd-party anti-virus program might not be incompatible with Windows processes.
Here is a similar threads for reference:
error code 0X80070005

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

Error Code -61499 when Running an FPGA VI on Develpement Computer with Siulated I/O

Dear Forum
I have a problem with running my FPGA VI on the development Comupter with simulated I/O
I Created a testbench as described in
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599D-01/lvfpgaconcepts/test_bench_tutorial/
This works fine. I can read an write the I/O Nodes
But when I insert a read/write control node (from the FPGA interface palette) into my Host-VI to directly write a value to a Control on my FPGA VI, i get the error -61499
The error happens in the VI on my Hostcomputer ad the message is:
An internal software error on LabView FPGA Module has occurred. Please contact NI technical support.
The error does not happen, if I remove the read/write control, or if I dont call it.
The error does not happen, if I compile the fpga-vi and let it run on my fpga hardware. It happens only in the simulated mode.
The error happens in the simulated mode when i use the testbench for simulating input Signals, it also happnes, when I use random Input Signals.
It seems that the error does not happen during compilation. The simulated VI runs and the error happens, only when I call the read/write control.
Can anybody help me?
I appreciate every suggestion
Thanks
David
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, the problem is solved, thanks to ni support who helped me:
The solution is, not to have spaces and end of lines in the names of frontpannel elements.
In simulated mode, a host-vi has problems to access frontpannel elements of the fpga-vi with the read/write node if the frontpanel elements have special characters.

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer? Thanks for the input.

Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

rectv, welcome to Apple Discussions.
You need to state what model G4 you have, what version of OS 9.x is installed and amount of RAM. Add this info to your Apple Discussion profile.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) (See Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac? ). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page

When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.
IF OS X has never been installed on your G4, you need to check if your Mac requires a firmware (Boot ROM version in System Profiler) update. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 If an update is required, the update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install OS X.

Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD?

Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD? Because if I reformating my mac with the regualr OS X CD, would that erase the Lion? Since I just donwloading the Lion, and don't really have a CD for it.

If you install Lion then erase the drive that will erase Lion. To purchase and download Lion you must first install Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App Store where you purchase and download the Lion installer. You might read this before:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Backing up your phone isn't really relevant. You can download items you've already purchased (from the iTunes Store on your Mac) to your phone. If you have items you didn't purchase, e.g. ripped CDs, you would have to subscribe to 'iTunes Match' ($24.99 p.a.) to be able to do the same thing with them.

NI 9512 with Labview FPGA Interface

Is it possible to use the NI 9512 stepper drive module with the Labview FPGA interface or is it only possible to use it with the scan interface? When I try to add the module to an FPGA target, I get an error telling me that Labview FPGA does not support this module with the current version of NI-RIO, but I have the latest version of NI-RIO installed.

Hi RJ12,
Thank you for the info!
If this problem is holding you up you should give our Applications Engineering department a call at 866-275-6964 to discuss it. The 9076 can have some compilation compatibility issues with our motion modules so it's certainly possible you could be seeing such an error.
Feel free to get in touch with us if we can help out in any way, or consider starting a new thread with more details on the compilation error if you'd like to see if a corrective action report (CAR) already exists.

FPGA Analog Input with Scan Interface

Hi all,
I am rather new to the FPGA Module and have a question concerning analog sampling.
Before, I used a cRIO in scan mode to perform following tasks:
A state machine on the host PC performs one task after the other, e.g: output a voltage, run a stepper motor (with the NI 9512), Acquire voltage signals using the scan engine mode, logging data ; next voltage, next stepper position, next measurement, logging to the file,.... and so on.
Now, I want to perform the same task, however, with a sampling rate that exceeds the performance of the scan engine. So I think I need to jump to FPGA Mode.
The question is: Can I "mix" the measurement in FPGA while running others tasks of the state machine in scan mode? In more detail, I only "need" the FPGA Mode for the data acquisition, however, for running the stepper motor the Scan mode is perfectly fine and somewhat easier.
One idea of mine was to create a fpga-vi on the target that acquires a certain amount of voltage samples and sends it to the host. Now, could I run the state machine as I did before, just for the state "voltage measurement" refer to the fpga-vi on the target and get the data?
Thanks for any hint,
Jack

It would be best to not mix the scan engine and the FPGA. Yes, you can do hybrid mode, but it uses A LOT of your FPGA resourses. You can still use the state machine in your host, but you will just need to change the commands slightly to use the FPGA interface instead. Use a DMA FIFO to send your analog data to your host to be logged.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

How can I retrieve my calendar info that was sucked from my iPad 2 after upgrading to OS V and backing up to iCloud (using Windows XP computer with Outlook)?

I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

Upgrading computer and PSE. If I backup my catalogs in PSE6 can I restore with PSE12?

I am upgrading computer and PSE. Old computer XP. New computer Win7 64 bit. If I backup with PSE6 on the old machine, can I restore the catalog and images on the new computer with PSE12? Or do I need to install PSE6 on the new machine, restore the backup, then start PSE12 and let it do the conversion? Thanks.

You should be able to restore it in working order, providing an oops doesn't happen. If an oops happens, contact Microsoft to see if you can get your activation code from them.

And my second question, would it be best to stay at Snow Leopard for me, or should I upgrade my OS?
While Apple hasn't officially stated that they are no longer supporting Snow Leopard, it has been a long time since there was an OS update.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
