simulation interface toolkit: Error 63

[AmitDeshpande]

I am trying to download a dll file onto the target. As described in the documentation, I open the original VI, run it. After that I go to Simulation --> Retarget. Here I enter the IP of the RT target machine (to which the dll should be directed to) and edit the port number as well. The VI generated by the build is pointed to by browsing along with the dll file.
After this, I get the Error:

Error 63 occurred at Open Application Reference in DynamicDownload.vi->SIT_InitRTDownload.vi->SIT Initialize.vi->FreeTemp.vi

Make sure that VI Server on target has
(i) TCP/IP access enabled on the default port,
(ii) host machine is in TCP/IP access list, and
(iii) the model VI is exported.

Returning to Select Host dialog.

I am ensure that the IP of the RT machine is listed in "Allow Access" of the options tab for VI Server: Configuration. Also, the port number is 3363. I also edited that in the Freerun_main.vi.

Any suggestions? Thanks
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
I understand that you're working with the Simulation Interface Toolkit and you receive error 63 when you select a target for the DLL download. There is a knowledge base document on our website that suggests a few things to try. You can find the document at the following url:

KB 36AH68OH: Why Do I Get Error 63 When I Run a Simulation Interface Toolkit in LabVIEW Real-Time?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/35A034D5CC53529C86256E380001258B?OpenDocument

It sounds like you've tried most of the things the document suggests, but it won't hurt to double check. You'll also want to verify that the target's IP address is on the same subnet as the host's IP address.
Try all of this and see if that fixes the problem if not, you might want to post a cleaned up copy of your code so that we can try to recreate the error.

Thanks for the question,

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for the inputs. I had referred to the same link earlier, when I tried all the options listed there. I went and did the same things over again. Just to be sure. I am getting the same error.
As you suggested, here is a cleaned up version of what I am working with. The model is a simple one. Its not doing anything. The upper part of the model is just a free running part which ramps up and reset when the switching condition in reached. But I am mainly working with the pulse generator and the time signal. The Amplitude on the VI is for setting the amplitude of the pulse signal. The TRst is for resetting the time. Reset to the integrator.
Please feel free to test out this at your end.

Amit

I am having the same problem and have tried the suggestions in the above link. Did this issue ever get resolved?

Hi Travis,
I might have a solution for you. I am assuming that you get error 63 when you retarget your application to the RT target machine. Please do following and see if it works:
1. Open Labview
2. If you are using Labview 7.1, then the splash screen should have 'Execution Target' at the bottom of the screen. Select the RT target that you have configured
3. Now select the Tools --> Options--> VI server
4. Check the check box for TCP/IP (I suggest, check all the check boxes)
5. Select VI Server: TCP/IP Access. Add a '*' to the TCP/IP access list
6. Do the same thing for VI Server: Exported VIs.
7. Say ok and again set back the Execution target to Labview for Windows.
The reason this works is that the documentation doesn't talk about configuring the RT target permissions. The earlier instructions do set the permission only for the Windows. You also need to do the same for RT target.
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Amit

Hello recently I have played around the idea of actually using LabVIEW and MatLAB together for simulating a Galvanometer (a fast reacting transducer like a PM motor attached to a mirror)with the recent lab assignment I got. Since this is really my first time to do it like this approach I began searching for available tools at the lab. I found we have a LV6.1 and a SIT 1.0 were on our way of updating to 7.1 on a lab purchase anyway but lab results can't wait since most of the stuff we ordered for building our new laser micrsocope in on the way.

My questions:
Q1.SIT 1.0 don't have a SIT manager like the new SIT 2.0 on a LV7.1.1 so how do I manage linking my .MDL from Simulink to my LV6.1?
Q2.With SIT 1.0's limited VIs and documentation how do I begin doing the actual simulation?

Anyone has older SIT 1.0 and actually used and made it work? I could use an example work.

Thanks,
