CFP-2020 reading CF card

[fios]

Bit of a daft question this maybe, but it's giving me a little bother 🙂

Having used Labview quite a bit now, we have recently updated some hardware, and are trying to use the CFP-2020 unit with a QSI G75 module.  No problems at all with the programming, we have tested the vi's using the PC and G75, all works as it should.

However, I'm not sure I have installed the vi on the CF card for the 2020 module correctly, I tried the standard vi format saved directly to the CF card, and also through the ethernet connection to the 2020 from the PC.  I however cannot seem to get the CF card to load when the CFP-2020 unit s turned on. 

What settings do I need to adjust, setup etc. and where am I going wrong?

Hope you good folks can help.

If you have copied the VI in Windows on the CF-Card and put then the CF-Card into the cFP it will not work. The reason is that the VI is compiled for Windows and not for the OS and processor for cFP. If you have downloaded the the VI to the cFP and used FTP to move it from c:\to d:\ on the cFP it will work.

There are two ini files related to the start of the LV-RT runtime. One is in C:\ and is called ni-rt.ini. In this file is the information where the RT-OS is located. The other is in the folder of the RT-OS and is called startup.ini. In this file is the information which application will be started when the cFP is powered on.

Cheers for the info mate 🙂

However I cannot seem to find these particular files, in the correct places at least (there seems to be about 20 ni-rt's using search).

I don't want to sound daft but could you elaborate more please?  I bet the file is right under my eyes too!
