QUOTE (Kirit @ Nov 11 2008, 06:37 AM) Here is a thread that might help you get moving with some basic DAQmx and write to file in it. Once you can do the above you are probably going to need look at design patterns so you can implement a GUI and the timer etc.. QUOTE (crelf @ Nov 11 2008, 07:55 AM) Use http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/6569' target="_blank">VI Logger. I did not know NI were still selling this cause I thought Signal Express was its successor. (It is the last disk, all the way at the back in the Dev Suite ) Does anyone have a preference over one or the other?

QUOTE (Vinny @ Nov 8 2008, 11:32 AM) Thanks Vinny. I have done some sub-par GUIs on the TPC-2012 due to bugs, issues and general restrictions of using WindowsCE. Since you have experience in both, is there a huge improvement over on screen graphics and general performance?

Is anyone using Windows Embedded XP on TPC development? And can comment on the pros/cons including differences wrt Windows CE & using NI Touch Panel Module - especially graphics? KB, KB, Dark Side Forum I am interested to know the differences as the TP Module and Windows CE can be a pig to program compared to standard LabVIEW and Windows XP - don't take my word - go ahead try it [Cross Post]

I want to mimic a standard windows tab look. I use freetext as a header on a System Recessed frame which is on a System Tab to logically group controls. However, depending on the height of the freetext, the background color of the freetext does not match the System Tab. And no other system color seems to either? Is there an easy work around for this? [cross post]

QUOTE (NewUser @ Nov 6 2008, 12:33 PM) :beer: Well you have to start somewhere. QUOTE (NewUser @ Nov 6 2008, 12:33 PM) What is the purpose of the shift register? To store the last value (n-1) from the previous iteration You can also click on it and drag it down to get n-2, n-3 etc... Go to the LabVIEW Help and do a search to find out more about it.

QUOTE (NewUser @ Nov 6 2008, 12:09 PM) Here's both using your code http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_11_2008/post-10325-1225945369.png' target="_blank">

QUOTE (NewUser @ Nov 6 2008, 11:11 AM) You are passing in a scalar value, but it requires an array (multiple scalar values). Either add to the scalar value using the shift register in the loop to get the sum (your example) Or get the sum of the array of elements using auto-indexing outside of the loop (as per example).

QUOTE (NewUser @ Nov 6 2008, 10:28 AM) Hi New User, you can do the above but getting all the elements (array) then summing them outside of the loop. (Numeric>>Add Array Elements) http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_11_2008/post-10325-1225940554.png' target="_blank">

QUOTE (Randy @ Nov 6 2008, 12:46 AM) About 3-6 months ago I inquired to NI Support about Remote Panels running on a Windows CE Touch Screen (specifically TPC-2012) [LV8.5.1]. The response was that Remote Panel is not supported on that OS - something to do with the browser I think. I will see if I can find the exact response in my work inbox if I still have it. So the last I heard a method like this won't work - we had to implement a custom solution (VI).

QUOTE (vronto31 @ Nov 3 2008, 04:01 PM) I implemented redundant comms for dual-NOEs on a PLC network with cFP using modbus. Around that time I was searching the topic of redundancy for cFP and found a bunch of KB's on NI website Check here, here and here for a start I have been using the cFP-2220 lately which have the dual-ethernet. More so for a private network than redundancy. I really like these units (they have a meater processor, usb, dual ethernet). I was told by an NI FSE that the first dual-ethernet cFP were custom designed for a large job that required network redundancy on a single controller. Anyways, the KB you are referencing is actually using a "dumb" gate-way type setup where there are no controllers on those other chassis'. They are daisy chained to expand the IO off of one controller, not for redundancy. But you should be able to setup redundancy in a similar manner - just a note that you have to run the secondary port off a different subnet to the primary.

QUOTE (Minh Pham @ Nov 3 2008, 07:15 AM) Different from the Modbus IO server, there is a Modbus Library available here thru NI as well as info in this KB. I have used this for serial comms successfully in the past.

QUOTE (charleskylow @ Oct 31 2008, 04:43 PM) Hi Charles. Download the Open G VIs. There is a http://thinkinging.com/2007/03/25/the-openg-vis-that-i-couldnt-live-without/' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">Variant Configuration File VIs package. It reads and writes clusters from\to ini files on disk. Otherwise do a quick search in help on the Config VIs in the File IO palette
