Detecting Modules on the cFP-2010 with Real-Time 6.1.3

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>Real-Time Module
Primary Software Version: 6.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: 7.0
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Compact FieldPoint>>Controllers>>cFP-2010

Problem: I have a cFP-2010 and when I try to have MAX recognize my modules by clicking Find Devices it doesn't find anything. I am running LabVIEW Real-Time 6.1.3. How can I get my modules to appear?

Solution: This issue has been fixed with a later version of Real-Time. However, if you need to use this configuration there is a workaround. You will need to modify several lines of code to fix the issue. Open the files listed below and add in the semi-colons as they appear (they will be missing from your files):

  • Navigate to: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\RT Images\FP_ControlEnv\4.1.6
  • Open installE001.rts
  • Find the following line and modify it to look like the one below
    REGISTER 04010006 FILE "/ni-rt/system/GLogos.dll;" NAME:"IA Control Environment" STARTUP_DLL
  • Open installE001.cdf
  • Find the following line and modify it to look like the one below
    StartupDLLs=/ni-rt/system/GLogos.dll;
  • Navigate to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\RT Images\FieldPoint\1.0.28
  • Open installE001.rts
  • Find the following line and modify it to look like the one below
    REGISTER 0100001C FILE "/ni-rt/system/FPLVMgr.dll;" NAME:"FieldPoint VI Manager" STARTUP_DLL
  • Open installE001.cdf
  • Find the following line and modify it to look like the one below
    StartupDLLs=/ni-rt/system/FPLVMgr.dll;

Everything else in the files should remain the same. You will now be able to use Find Devices and your modules will be recognized.
