Touch panel connection

[khalsans]

TPC-2012 installation notes say:

ActiveSync is the default transport protocol in version 8.2.1 of the Touch Panel Module. NI TPC-2012 does not support ActiveSync, so you must use FTP to download your Touch Panel application to the NI TPC-2012.

So how do I create an executable if it keps ginig me an activesync error?

How do I set it up so I can  FTP the program to it?

Hi khalsans,

Thanks for contacting National Instruments.  I have been doing some research on your question and I've got some ideas for you to try out.  When you are creating an executable, you can just do that on your development machine that is not your TPC-2012 and then you will use the FTP connection to transfer the executable to the touch panel.  The link that I have attached below is a really good tutorial on how to set up the FTP server on your TPC-2012.  If you walk through the steps in this document, you should be able to configure the FTP server correctly and then transfer the executable to your TPC-2012.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to post back to this and we can go through some more steps. Thanks!

I have the FTP working, thanks to you.

But I can't compile on the host machine without the ActiveSync error popping up.

Did you mean to move the vi in the project from the TPC-2012  to the host computer?

Wouldn't that compile it for WinPC rather than WincCE?

Hi khalsans,

When you have your project window open with the Touch Panel target, your VI will actually be under that target in the project window.  Then you will right-click on the build specifications for that target and select the Application(EXE) option.  When you are then configuring the application in the pop-up dialog box, you will set the destination directory to a file path on your computer.  Next, you will use the FTP server like we talked about earlier to transfer that already built executable to the TPC-2012.  I hope this helps you out a little more and answers all of your questions.  Please post back if you have any more questions. Thanks!

There is a problem with the compile. I got an answer from R&D today:

"This issue is known to R&D.

The next time you compile, try holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the

run button.  This will build the executable without attempting to deploy it

via ActiveSync. "

Thanks,
