Veristand Target Error -307850

[ni_2012]

 I am running Veristand on my PC with PXIe 1062(not using RT controller). When I execute the system definition I get the following error:

NI VeriStand:  The target cannot be reached. Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected to the real-time (RT) target and that the RT target is enabled and running.
=========================
NI VeriStand:  Server TCP Interface.lvlib:TCP Connection Manager.vi:1
<append>=========================
NI VeriStand:  A communication failure occurred while handshaking with the target.
Target: Controller

Any pointers to solve this problem  will be very helpful

Thanks

Is the target OS on the Controller page in System Explorer set to Windows?

Hi ni_2012,

If I understand correctly, you are running this on a Windows PXI controller.  Is this correct?

Just to be 100% certain, in your System Definition, your target is set to Windows and localhost, correct?

The Project Explorer is still going to communicate to the VeriStand engine running on your computer using TCP/IP.  So, you should make sure that you do not have a firewall blocking this communication.  The easiest way to do this would be to disconnect your computer from the network, turn off your firewall, and then try again.

Have a great day,

@ Jarrod,

Thanks for the reply. It is set to Windows.

@Chris,

Thanks for the reply. My PXI does not have a real time controller. Veristand is using my PC as a host target.

Hi ni_2012,

Okay, then I'm a little confused. How are you using a 1062 from your host PC?

Do have a MXI connection to the 1062?

Do you have a controller in the 1062 running Windows?

Have a great day,

@ Chris

Thanks for the reply.

My PXI does not have a controller. I am running Veristand on my PC. I have generated a Labview dll and I am using Veristand to map hardware to my input. I have defined the PXI Slot and signal( anlaog / digital etc) on my Labview VI. But when I load the dll and execute System definition I get an error saying that it is not accepting the way I have defined my hardware.

If I cannot use hardware assignments in my VI, is there any placeholder from Veristand block set that I can use?

Then the next error which pops up is it is unable to reach the target. (The target is PC)

Hi ni_2012,

What is in slot 1 (the red one with the triangle) of your 1062 chasis?

Have a great day,

Hi Chris,

Slot 1 of my chassis  has a  PXI 8360 which uses MXI and connects to my desktop.

Thanks

Have a nice day !

Hi ni_2012,

Okay, that clears things up a lot.

In VeriStand,  you'll want to make sure the name you give the DAQ card you are using (which is?) the same name it has in Measurement & Automation Explorer.

I'm assuming you're mapping the DAQ channel to the LabVIEW model input then?

Did you build a LabVIEW dll with the Application Builder, or did you go into LabVIEW and select Tools > NI VeriStand > Generate NI VeriStand Model from VI...?

Have a great day,
