Compile for WinCE

[eh]

There was a app note and a program to allow you to target some WinCE devices on LabVIEW 7.0. How can I do this on 7.1? The program apparently will not update 7.1.

The executable built for by LabVIEW PDA for Pocket PC would also work on a Win CE as long as that device built including the 'Standard SDK' option and used an ARM based processor. Basically, Win CE built with the 'Standard SDK' option includes all of the components that Pocket PC does. So no changes to LabVIEW PDA are required to create the executable.

Often times, the Win CE device will even connect to the PC through ActiveSync, just as a Pocket PC device. In that case, you can just target LabVIEW to 'Pocket PC 2003 Device' and LabVIEW PDA won't know or care that the device is actually Win CE. If the Win CE device doesn't connect via ActiveSync, you can just transfer the executable to the device and run it. Generally the only difference for the Win CE device w
ould be the screen size.

I am trying to use a NP-800S panel from IVC. I transfer the progam over, but when I try to run it, it gives me" Can't find "(program name)" or one of its components". Is there some library I need to load onto the device before I run it?

LabVIEW PDA applications do not require any additional files with the exeception of if your code was using a 'Call Library Node' to call a dll. In that case the dll file would have to copied to the System folder on the device. I would recommend trying a very simple example. I've attached a sample application and the VI it was built from. You could also try building an example for the Pocket PC emulator as well. Note that when building for the emulator the processor should be set to x86, while building for an actually Pocket PC/Win CE device the processor should be ARM.
