using ICP2 programmer DLL with LabWindows/CVI

[gertleri]

Hi,

I try to control my ICP2 programmer via a CVI GUI. The DLL functions that I got from the programmer CD of "start an application", "initialize COM" and "load .hex file" work fine, but when I try to program the EEPROM, it returns a communication error (with the programmer itself). I've checked the .cfg file and all data are correct. I've also tried to switch from RS232 to USB (changed the configurations accordingly) but it didn't work either. In addition, I tried both PC and standalone modes - same problem.

Is anyone of you familiar with such tasks and can explain the process step by step in case I missed one?

THX!!

Hi gertleri,

Are you having difficulty calling the DLL from CVI or with actual calls to program the EEPROM?  What is the error that you are seeing?

Hi Kelly,

Mystery solved - the programming unit doesn't have a dll support. I assumed it was integrated, but apparently it wasn't. 

Thanks anyway,

Hi,

did u try using Command line options to program using ICP2. I am planning to use that in LabVIEW. It would be really helpful if you let me know how you solved your problem.

Thanks in advance
