Error communicating Labview with Fieldpoint hardware

[Trisna]

Hi,

I run Labview in conjunction with the Fieldpoint hardware. Upon reinstalling the labview program after a computer crash, I am no longer able to re-establish the communication with the Fieldpoint hardware. It seems to be a driver problem but I am not able to pin point exactly the problem. This is the error message when the software "SHIME" was run:

Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vi: Open File.
Possible reasons:
LABVIW: file not found. Or
NI-488: non-existent board.

I greatly appreciate any suggestions for trouble shooting.

Sincerely,
Trisna

Trisna,

The program is looking for a file that does not exist. This appears to be more generic to the program as it is being reported by the Open File+.vi which is not used by the FieldPoint driver. I suspect that a configuration file that is not in the location expected by the program or is no longer present in the system. You should check the code to find out where you try to open any files and make sure that the files still exist.

Regards,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

thanks for the advice. In fact I was just trouble shooting the problem with an advisor/technician from National Instruments and he confirmed the same thing that there is no problem between the communication of the computer and Fieldpoint. It is more of the problem with the software itself. I am running a software called "SHIME" that stands for simulated human intestinal microbial ecosystem but I couldn't locate any open.vi or auto.vi file on the CD; you mentioned looking for something in the software.

I am communicating with the people who sold us the SHIME system and I appreciate your advice.

Sincerely,
Trisna
