FP2000

[grisel]

I would like to see on a PC screen the panel of a .Vi running stand alone on a FP2000. This using my usual navigator. It doesn't work but the same program running on a standard PC can be displayed on another PC. is there something special to do with the FP 2000?

Thanks for your answer.

When you create the FP VI you must then choose to change execution target and then run the VI. This should download the VI to the FP-2000 module and you should be able to see this VI on your PC screen. You may want to explain the process of how your are doing this and we can get a better idea of why it might not be working.

Eric,

When you embed an executable into the FP-20xx modules, we do not embed the front-panel of the VI. When you try and link to a FP-20xx running an embedded program, it asks you to locate the VI on the machine that you are trying to connect with. If you do not have the VI on the PC, you will not be able to see the panel. Likewise, using the built-in web publishing abilities of LabVIEW does not work quite the same way as the front panel does not exist. Instead, by using the File I/O VI's, you can write an html file that the FP-20xx will publish. There is an example of this located at:
..Labview6\examples\fieldpoint\fphtmlog.llb. If you build this file into an executable on a FP-20xx (there is a .bld script in the directory that has all the info App Builder
needs), when you re-boot the FP-20xx, it will be running the program. By using FieldPoint Explorer, and doing a Find Devices on the FP-20xx's Comm Resource, you will notice a new channel under the FP-20xx called StartLogging. Anytime a boolean true (1) is written to the channel, the FP-20xx will log data from all attached channels at 1 second intervals for 10 seconds prior to saving it as a file named testdata.htm. You can then type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/testdata.htm in your web browser to see the data.
