If you have already assigned an IP address to the cFP-21xx, the STATUS
LED turns off, the I/O module READY LEDs come on, and the cFP-21xx
is ready for use. The total boot time for a configured system is
15–20 seconds.
If the STATUS LED does not light up as described here, refer to the
STATUS LED Error Indications
The cFP-21xx has the embedded LabVIEW Real-Time Engine and
FieldPoint software pre-installed, but you must install the necessary
software on the host PC. Follow these steps to install the FieldPoint
software on the host PC.
1. Install the software packages you plan to use, such as LabVIEW,
LabVIEW Real-Time, Lookout, Measurement Studio, VI Logger, or
LabWindows/CVI, before you install the FieldPoint software. The
FieldPoint software installation installs the LabVIEW VIs and
examples and the LabWindows/CVI instrument driver only if it finds
the corresponding development software installed.
2. Close all other applications.
3. Insert the FieldPoint software CD into the CD-ROM drive on your
computer.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
