Labview programming

[HJIN]

IAK file has been generated by fieldpoint explorer. Is this file the only one used for labview programming? Is there any other files should be used. I think the IAK file I have got from fieldpoint explorer is good. I understand IAK file contains the info needed by the program I have written up in Labview. But why the program failed, the error message is that the name tag cannot be found. I have double checked the device names, etc. both in FP explorer and LabView.

What version of labVIEW you are using?.

In labVIEW 7.0, you can use FP IO Point constant to browse the channel from your iak file.

In earlier labVIEW version, you need to use FP open VI and connect the reference to FP create tag VI to create a valid tag reference. FP create tag VI requires device, item and tag names as input and returns a refnum for the particular tag. You can then use ths refnum wired to read or write VIs.All the VIs mentioned are available in FieldPoint sub pallate in functions pallate.

Look at the FieldPoint examples that ship with LabVIEW.
