Build errors for PDA 7.1

Hi,

I have some problems building executables for PocketPC2003.
My configuration.
Hardware: Notebook (Win XP), PDA iPAQ (PocketPC2003), DAQ PCMCIA 6062E.
Software: LabVIEW 7.1, PDA module 7.1, DAQmxBase 1.0 drivers, ActiveSync, MS embedded tools 4.0 + SP3, MS PocketPC2003 SDK.
I can build in LabVIEW PocketPC2003 Device target and execute on PDA any program not using DAQ. It works great. The problem is I can not compile any vis with DAQ functions. Moreover, I can not build samples installed with DAQmxBase. The common errors occurred when I built a VI: ... function name ... is a missing VI or C file. Sample error screenshot you can find in the attached file.
Can you help me?

Hi! Pavel,

It could be that the function is not suported for PDA. Ususally when the target is switched to PDA, the unsupported functions are no longer visible of the function palette. If still these functions are visible, you may want to build them separately and check if still the same error of missing C file is reported.

Good luck,
Rachana

Hi Rachana!
DAQmxBase functions are visible. The examples are written by NI, so I think it would work.
DAQ card 6062E is supported by DAQmxBase. All software needed are installed.
I really don't know what is the problem.

I tried to build a vi consisting of "DAQmxBase Start Task.vi" only. The result is the same.
I have reinstalled all software twice.

Hi,

Did you install the DAQmx Base driver after you installed LabVIEW? Did you run the PDA Setup Utility after the driver was installed? Let me know, and have a Great Day!

Yes, of course.

As far as I understand PDA Setup Utility installs something like runtime engine to PDA.
If I create executable for PDA in LabVIEW PDA device mode I don't think that running
of PDA Setup Utility is necessary for that. Anyway I have executed the utility and
software was downloaded to PDA.

Any idea?
Where are NI support people? I need assistance.

Hi,

The PDA setup utility actually installs the DAQmx Base driver to the PDA. If the PDA does not have the driver, then it will not work. Can you verify that the driver is installed in the Windows directory of the PDA? Thanks!

yes!
In fact I try just to build for PDA and run my VI on the microsoft pocket pC 2003 emulator! I don't have the pocket Pc 2003 device for the moment!
and when I do "build for PDA" for a VI which contains a DAQmx Base function (for example DAQmxbase read), I have 33 errors (...is a missing VI or C file) and before the message that there is "error building excecutable"!
I have try to change decimal symbol in the Configure Regional Options dialog box but I have still the problem!

Hello VISERVICES

The compiled code for the emulator is not exactely the same as the one for the rel device. So a code could work on the device, but not on the emulator. I suggest you check the following KnowledgeBase Document
