Create an Executable file on a nomad WinCE device

[Binghamton University]

Hello,

  We are trying to build an executable for a Microvision Nomad (www.microvision.com/nomad). The Nomad's operating system is Windows CE.Net. The version of Labview that we have is Labview 8.2 NI Developer Suite 2006. We however can not figure out how to make an executable for the Nomad. Any help on how to make executables for Windows CE.Net would be greatly appreciated.

I am not quite sure about what the Nomad system is. Is it a touch display device (similar to a PDA) that is running Windows CE. With the LabVIEW PDA module, you can create and deploy executables for multiple targets, including Windows CE devices. Please provide me with more information about what you are trying to achieve, so that I can make adequate recommendations.  

Regards,

The Nomad is a touch pad type of pda that runs Win CE.NET. The Nomad does not have the labview module. However, we do have the Labview module software on your PC.

I have developed several applications with external sensors for the
Nomad see through display.
I am not sure what you mean when you say "build an executable" but I
will try...

If you mean by "build an executable" that you have an application that
you want to see on the Nomad see-through display, that is easy.
Basically any application that will run on any PC can be viewed on the
Nomad.
Simply connect the Nomad data cable to the PC, make sure the PC
displays in 600X800 mode, and what ever runs on the PC will be veiwed
on the Nomad. (even a Word Doc, or a movie)

If you mean by "build an executable" to temper the firmware, which is
embedded in the control box - this is impossible with out the full
internal specs of the laser light source and MEMS mirror. You will
need the firmware source code which is Microvision's propriety. The
internal firmware deals with taking the display information breaking
it up to single pixels and manipulating the Laser light source and
MEMS mirror to display each pixel in it's proper position. The laser
light source scans the see-through display pixel by pixel row after
row at a refresh rate of 60Hz. This gives you a full screen
experience.

If you post further questions, please make sure you have the word
MICROVISION in your post, so that it will pop up on my search.

You can use LabVIEW PDA or Touch Panel Module to build and deploy executables on Windows CE devices as long as the OS has all the standard libraries. The PDA Module comes with a device emulator that you can test you application on before deploying it to the actual device.

Thank you so much for your help.

I have a problem to build the file since I have many VIs.

How I add more files ? The PDA builder just allows to add one file.

The build specification only allows one top level VI (the main VI) which can include one or more subVIs. Look at the datalogging example in \LabVIEW\examples\PDA\datalogging directory to see how you can launch different subVI front panels.
