视觉论坛的各种资源，除了视觉相关的模块有使用外，大部分的都不会使用，所以仅提供资源不能提供技术支持。资源的下载地址一般会同时提供NI官方地址和百度网盘的下载地址。某些工具包NI的地址失效或没有NI的下载地址，那视觉论坛也没有办法，只能尝试使用百度网盘地址下载；如果百度网盘的下载地址失效过期，可联系论坛客服更新。现在NI的下载服务器对我国IP地址不是很友好，有些时候速度很慢或大的资源下载很容易出错，这样会造成安装过程各种类型报错而无法安装。建议在下载完成后，对下载资源做校验和验证（NI一般会提供MD5或SHA256等），与官方或视觉论坛提供的校验和对比，一致就可以安装，如果不一致，则需要重新下载。视觉论坛早期下载的资源，那时候NI没有这么多限制，基本上都是正常下载的资源；后期下载的资源，都与NI的正确校验和对比过，保证是正确的资源才上传到百度网盘，所以百度网盘的资源基本上是正确的。校验和工具下载地址：

Windows Server 2003 R2 (32-bit)

Note: National Instruments is committed to maintaining compatibility with Microsoft Windows technology changes. However, NI has become aware of a number of issues of potential significance regarding Microsoft Windows 7. To learn how Windows 7 affects your use of NI products, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code windows7.
Installation Instructions
Refer to the Lookout Release Notes for detailed information about installing Lookout. This section describes additional installation considerations.
The Lookout software requires Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL Express). This component is installed by default when you install Lookout. During the installation process, the Lookout installer creates an instance of SQL Express named CITADEL. To prevent unauthorized access to SQL Express, the installer also generates a password for the SQL Express administrator sa. The default password is the computer ID. Complete the following steps to find the computer ID using NI License Manager.
The Lookout installer enables a mixed security mode on existing SQL Servers. If the target computer does not have an SQL Server installed, the Lookout installer installs SQL Express in the mixed security mode.
Use the following command line prompt to change the default password for the sa user:
Sqlcmd -S"localhostCITADEL" -U"sa" -P"COMPUTER_ID" -Q"sp_password 'COMPUTER_ID', 'NEW_PASSWORD', 'sa'"
If the mixed security mode is not acceptable, change both the SQL Express and Citadel login modes. You must set the registry DWORD values HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServerLoginMode and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENational InstrumentsCitadel.0IntegratedSecurity to 1.
National Instruments recommends that you change the login mode immediately after you install Lookout. Otherwise, you must relink all existing Citadel databases. Restart the SQL Express and Citadel services in order for changes to take effect. If you use integrated NT security, you might need to configure the server machine and all clients explicitly.
Note: Lookout 6.0.2 and earlier use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000), not SQL Express. If you upgrade Lookout 6.0.2 or earlier to Lookout 6.5, any existing databases continue to use MSDE 2000 for alarm logging, but new databases you create use SQL Express. If you detach an existing database from Lookout and then reattach the database, Lookout migrates the database to SQL Express.
You might want to uninstall MSDE 2000 after installing Lookout 6.5. Complete the following steps to uninstall MSDE 2000.
Exit Lookout if Lookout is running.
Open NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and select My System»Historical Data»Citadel 5 Universe from the Configuration tree.
On the Databases page, detach all databases from the local computer.
Open the Windows Control Panel and uninstall MSDE 2000.
Restart the computer.
Open MAX and reattach all databases.
Licensing
Lookout relies on licensing activation. You must activate a valid Lookout license before you can run Lookout. To activate Lookout, use the serial number you received as part of your installation package.
Refer to the Lookout Release Notes for more information about licensing in Lookout.
Features and Changes
Lookout 6.5 incorporates the following new features and changes:
Sending Text Messages to Cell Phones
Use an SMS object to send text messages to cell phones by using GSM/GPRS modems.
If a text message contains more than 70 characters, the SMS object splits the message into multiple messages that contain no more than 70 characters and sends these messages.
Documenting Lookout Applications
In Lookout, you can add a description to processes, panels, objects, data members, and displays.
Use the descriptions to provide user documents for a Lookout application. You can configure Lookout to display these descriptions.
Supporting Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Format
Lookout supports importing data from and exporting data to Microsoft Excel 97-2003 format files. You can import and export data by using the DataTable or Recipe object.
Supporting Control Panel Decoration
Lookout supports inserting graphic shapes, such as lines and ellipses into control panels. Use these shapes to enhance the user interface of Lookout applications.
Supporting New FieldPoint Modules
Lookout supports the following FieldPoint devices:
You also can import *.iak files from these controllers and I/O Modules.
Authenticating Senders When Using the Mailer Object
Use the Mailer object to send emails to recipients by using the SMTP protocol. In Lookout 6.5, you can authenticate the sender if the SMTP server requires authentication. To authenticate an email sender, enter the username and password information in the property dialog box of a Mailer object.
New Logon/Logoff Method
Lookout includes the following new data members under the $System object.
Use these two data members to log on and log off in Lookout.
Known Issues
You can access the software and documentation known issues list online. Refer to the National Instruments Web site for an up-to-date list of known issues in Lookout.
