fieldpoint configuration file

[Kalel]

I recently transfer my Labview file to a new computer. My set up has the following devices, FP-1000F P-RTD-122 and FP-RLY 422 . I installed the Fieldpoint's latest driver, however, when I try to run my file. It say " could not locate Fieldpoint Configuration file" iak.  . I tried to find my devices using MAX but I could not. I am new in Labview, I was using an exsisting set up. It was working fine till couple of days ago.   I started to have problems when I start to use new computer. 

can anyone suggest a way to over come my problem. How I am going to create a configuration file?

Thank you

When you say "run my file", what file are you talking about?  A VI?  Trying to load the .iak file in max?  Something else?

Was there anything special in you .iak file that you'd have a hard time recreating such as channel names, special scaling properties, ....  ?

When you say that you tried to find the devices using MAX, but could not,  what happens?  Do you get an error message?

Usually, if you do a find devices, the listing of devices should show up at least with their generic names.  If a configuration file is downloaded from one PC, another PC should be able to detect that configuration file when  you do a find devices on that controller and upload the .iak configuration.

>>>I just noticed you said you are using an FP-1000, and not a controller.  I only have experience with controllers like the cFP-2120 and 2220, I've never used the network interface (non-controller) before.  I don't know if those would have enough intelligence to store the .iak file.

I think you might just need to create a new .iak file within MAX.

Yes a vi file. In the first place it asked me for a configuration file iak. Today I was able to create a aik file using MAX (thanks to some help) . Actually it was automatic I did not do anything at all. I gave a name to to aik file and load that file when I run may .vi .However now it gives me an error

error 32812 occurred in FP read.vi

The specified  tag name was not  found. 

I try  to fix it using the possible solution suggestions in

it did not work till now 😞

I am  adding screenshots of MAX too, I am not sure if they will makeany difference. 

Do you have any suggestion?

In the previous setup, is it possible that the channel names were changed to something else.  So instead of something like Channel 0, you may have renamed it to TempOil, (for example)?

What is the tag name that is used with the FP Read in whatever part of your code is raising the error?  Check to make it matches a valid name within MAX.   You may need to rename the channel in Data Neighborhood in MAX to match.  Even if you don't, it might be a good idea to go through all your tag constants and/or controls and rebrowse to the channels again.

You were right, I used the names which are in MAX now my file is running and I am doing the calibration 🙂 . Thank you for your help.  I have one more  vi file to fix but I think now I can do it by myself 🙂 ,if not I willask for help again.
