Dear Jim7215
The PDA toolkit is difficult to handle.
Try to use activesync 4.1 by USB and forbidd the Ethernet connection.
If you cant make a connection with the platform manager than there might be a network problem.
In some cases you need to install the MS loopback ethernet device or disable ethernet on your
target. We have some computers that work with activesync and ethernet and others don't. And there seams
to be no way to find out why.
The best way is to install evc 4, SP4 for evc, the platform sdk and try to make a connection with the platform
manager of evc before you install anything else. If this doesnt't work than you have to contact the device manufacturer
and find out how you can establish a connection. This way aroud he can't tell you its a NI problem while it isn't.
If it works than the PDA toolkit will work too.
But be aware the PDA toolkit is a step back into the early time of LabVIEW. Compiling a project may take
hours, depending on the project size and it is SLOOOOW too.
