cRIO-9076 nisyscfg.lvlib:Set Time.vi - Deploy error?

[BartyMoffett]

I'm try to set the Time and Date on my new cRIO-9076...

I can set the Time Zone using Max, but the Time & Date looks to be set programmatically...

This should be easy since there is already a VI to do this in the Dependencies section of the Project Explorer - nisyscfg.lvlib: Set Time.vi.

When I run this VI, I get this error from the Delpoyment Progress Window:

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Try reinstalling the software on the Real Time Target. If this does not fix the problem could you post the section of your code that has the Set Time.vi?

Hi Alex - Thanks for responding...

I erased all of the software on the cRIO-9076 and did a complete re-install (Screen Capture attached).

I'm using the LabVIEW Real-Time 12.0.0.1 & NI-RIO 12.0.1 - November 2012 images listed in Max. Installed everything I could...(Screen Capture Attached)

I'm using LabVIEW 2012 SP1

The LabVIEW Project is very simple. I created a fresh project and have only used a single vi from the LabVIEW Functions Palette...

LabVIEW Functions Palette >> Real-Time >> RT Utilities >> System Configuration >> Utilities >> Set Time vi...

When I try to deploy the project, I get an error (Screen Capture Attached)

I have aslo attached the LabVIEW project for your reference...

Hello NI,

I am running a cRIO 9074 and getting this error on run/deployment:

Deploying RT_Main.vi
Deployment completed with errors

<<<< 

This occurred when I added a third FPGA FIFO.Read method in a second timed loop to the RT code.  There was a CAR (191558) covering this behavior for LabVIEW 2009, dealing with an extra FPGA I/O or method function whose memory was over a 64k boundary.  I don't know if my instance of this deployment error is relevant to this thread but I do see some other threads out there with this error.  I am running LabVIEW 2013.

Thanks,

HLB

Make sure you have "NI System Configuration" installed to the target.  Note it is not selected by default when you install RT.

Thanks JoshuaP, installing NI System Configuration 5.5.0 solved my problem.

So after spending way too much time trying to fix this deployment error (I have no idea why It didn't work - and will it haunt me to my grave), a co-worker showed me another approach...

See http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2438

Inside this library (rt_nist_date_time.llb) are 2 VIs - One which just gets the date/time from a NIST server... The other gets the date/time from a NIST server and then uses it to set the date/time of the cRIO-9076...

It compiled and deployed without any issues...   Thanks Jeremy!

I also ran across another artilce that describes how to do this same type of thing using SNTP, by editing the startup sequence of the cRIO-9076...

FYI - Both of these solutions require the cRIO to be on an active network with a working gateway to reach the internet... Something I was trying to avoid in this setup... Just another trade-off...
