Hi experts,
I am currently constructing LabVIEW VI's (LabVIEW 5.1) to interface with FP-1001 (which is connected to two FP-TC-120 Thermocouple modules) via PCI NI AT-485/2 card under Windows 2000.
When I used FP Open.vi, it constantly gives the error:
"Error Code 32800: The server name may be invalid or you may not have the necessary permission to access the system registry: FP Open.vi"
I am using MAX 4.1 to check the communication between the PC and FP, and it is indicating that they are working fine (the AT-485/2 is communicating the hardware well). I also checked the IAK file carefully (the path and file names), and since I did "copy-and-paste", it should not have any problem.
I am logging in under Administrator account. So, I think the "permission" should not be the problem as well.
May I know what else would cause the problem? Does Windows 2000 supports LabVIEW 5.1? When I am reinstalling the software, it does indicate "Wrong OS". Would this matter?
Does it matter if I configure the IAK file using FP software or MAX? Would the version of MAX matter as well with respect to the version of LabVIEW?
P/S: I know LabVIEW 5.0 might not be supported in this forum anymore, but my company doesn't feel like upgrading the software. I do hope that I can get some suggestions on resolving this problem. Thanks!
