PDA Module for Pocket PC

[trathgeber]

Hi,

I need to work with a PDA and i´m now at installing all of the software, but after installing: aktive sync, emb. visual c 4.0, evc4sp4.exe, MS Pocket PC 2003 SDK; i now want to install the PDA Module, but i only have the Version 7.1 and my installed Software is LabVIEW 8.2 and therefore it doesn´t work to install an older Version.

So my question is, how to solve this problem, without reinstalling an older Version of LabVIEW?!

And maybe there is somebody who wants to give me an short overview, after solving this problem, how to go on till the point where my already written VI works at the PDA?!

Thanks, Thomas

Each version of the PDA module only works with the version of LabVIEW which has the same number. I suggest you talk to your local NI office and see if you can replace the PDA module with the correct version (if it's new you probably can).

As for building the application, in 7.x, you needed to change the target to the PDA and then call Tools>>Build... and once that executable goes into the sync folder, ActiveSync transfers it to the PDA, where you can run it.

In 8.x you need to create a project and create a build, but I don't know the details. I assume that an EXE is created and once again needs to be transferred to the PDA.

One important thing to be aware of is that the PDA module was quite buggy (at least in 7.x, I have no experience with 8.x). Not all of the functionality is available and some things don't work correctly. Just be aware that you might need to spend some time on adapting your application so that it works on the PDA as you want it to.
