Hello everyone,

Now I am using PXI 1085. 

 

There is a PXI - 8360 module. I can control the all device by MXI connection, but when I try to connect via ethernet cable. When I entry the IP address of the PXI 1085, the device could not be configured VISA on NI - MAX. 

I download the PXI platform service, but it did not work.

Could you help me?

Thank you.

Operating temperature PXI Cards

$

Hello everyone,

 

I have a PXI 1078 System with a few PXIe Cards in the following order

  • PXI4322: Analog outpot
  • PXI5433: waveform generator
  • Empty
  • PXI8513: CAN
  • PXI8433: Rs232
  • PXi6220: AI/DIO

I recently installed the FGEN driver for the waveform generator and after starting MAX and checking the device I noticed that the operating temperature of the PXI5433 was 78C°. The neighbour card PXI4322 was 73°C, all others were around 45°C.  In the datasheet the normal operating temperature of should be between 0-55°C.

 

The PXI is located on a free standing laboratory table. No walls nearby and the next equipment is at least 0.5m away.

 

Why is the temperature that high? Can I still safely operate my system?

 

Over lunch I systematically change the cards and check if the temperature goes down to identify if one of the cards generate the heat increase. 

PXI 8186 not working afer battery replacement

After few years of good behavior, Starting my PXI 8186, error message appear in first screen after RAM check.

It was exactly message describe in this post  (Receiving Error 0271 and 0251 from PXI Controller on Boot-Up).

--> I replace BR2032 battery on my controller and restart it.

I updated date and time in BIOS, reboot again, and after this... noting.

After first BIOS screen (RAM check) only appear 4 caracters on fist line.

Im not sure with policy, it is "PCOO" in fact OO are like emoji.

There is noting else, My application with startup VI don't start. I have a computer connected on this controller, but I can't connect on it anymore with network (I didn't check with default IP 0.0.0.0).

Before testing a restoring factory parameters, I would like to understand what append on my controller. I have 3 tests bench like this, It's the second time that append (first time, we decided to change controller with new one 8820). Replace battery is easy, but I think there is lake in user manual, maybe I have to reconfigure something else in BIOS.

Beginning with battery replacement (3€) and finishing with controller replacement (4000€) is not very funny...

 

Is anybody already met this problem ? Is there anything to do before restoring factory parameters ?

Regards

PXI Backplane via pythn

Hello everybody,

 

I want to connect a digital signal (for example: 'PXI1Slot2/port0/line0') from a PXI-Multifuntion IO Module to the bus/ backplane of the PXI-System to trigger another module in the PXI-System.

 

I am using python and struggle to find an example code for this or anything close to this problem.

 

My idea was:

import nidaqmx

system = nidaqmx.system.System.local()
device = system.devices['PXI1Slot2']

phys_chan = nidaqmx.system.PhysicalChannel('PXI1Slot2/port0/line0')

system.connect_terms(phys_chan.name, ???)

 

Any suggestions?

 

PS: I tried to read the docs: https://nidaqmx-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html without any success.

PXIe-654X Test Panel no Longer in NI MAX?

Hi,

      I'm running LabVIEW/HSDIO 2019, (all latest SW/ drivers etc. installed.) and it seems that the Test panel for the 654X cards is no longer available in MAX.

      This was a very useful feature to debug any HW setup issues with this card. Has this been intentionally removed?

       Thanks,.

 

PXIe-8031 in PXIe-1082 causing Driver Verifier DMA Violation BSOD on Win10

$

I have a Dell Precision Mobile Workstation 7740 running Win10. All drivers are properly installed. I’m using the integrated thunderbolt port on the laptop.

 

I have a PXIe-1082 chassis with a PXIe-8301 MXI-Express card for remote control of the PXIe. Cards installed are:

 

Slot5:  PXI-6683H

Slot6:  PXI-4462

Slot7:  PXI-4461

 

Connecting the chassis to my 7740 causes system crash and BSOD with “Driver Verifier DMA Violation”.

 

If I remove the 3 cards in slots 5-7 my computer does not crash. Installing any of the 3 cards causes a crash. The only obvious factor is that the 3 cards are PXI, not PXIe. Beyond that I have no idea what is causing the issue.

 

Note that colleagues of mine that have recent Dell Latitude laptops (can’t remember the model number off hand but they’re 2019 model year with integrated thunderbolt) and they do not experience this issue.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently working with NI PXIe-4322 Analog output module and using cascaded channels. The problem is that I'm not sure how to configure these channels so that write them to outputs in my LabVIEW application. How do are these cascaded channels set up in Labview?

I've attached a screen shot of the device pinout.  

Thanks

Miért???

Build a TDC using FPGA

$

Hello,

 

We're implement a fast scanning LiDAR system in our Lab and we want to move into FPGA module for fast acquisition/processing.

But I have a few questions about performance in ToF calculations using FPGA:

 

(1) What requirements should I look to build a sub-ns resolution data acquistion ? Looking into the products page I saw that typical clocks on FPGA system are 40/80 MHz, does that mean that the minimum time that can be evaluate is 1/40Mhz or 1/80MHz ?

 

(2) I have quite a lot of experience in LabView programming but I've never used the FPGA module, how user-friendly it is ? Do I need  a specific formation in FPGA programming ?

 

(3) Can I use PCI FPGA cards to do it? in that case what should be a good price/performance card to look for ?

 

Thanks!

How to plug USB-COM converter to PXI with RTOS via USB in USB RAW mode?

$

Hello everyone. 

 

I'm Ivan and I'm working with PXIe-1082 chassis with NI PXIe-8840 controller. PXI has real time operating system: NI Real-Time Phar Lap ETS 13.1. My host computer has NI-VISA and NI-VISA Runtime, PXI has NI-VISA Server and NI-USB passport.

I've 2 different devices of USB-to-COM converter. One of there is ICPCON i-7561 (https://www.icpdas.com/root/product/solutions/industrial_communication/converter/i-7561.html). The device is working as COM port repeater for simplicity.

I've tried to connect this device as follows:

1. Pluged the device into USB port at PXI-8840

2. Opened VISA Interactive Control tool on the host PC and found PXI Instrumental resources.

3. Found my USB device which was determined as USB RAW Resource. 

4. Opened VISA Interactive Control tool... and the END.

Any attempts to communicate with the device didn't have results.

 

So my question is simple. How can I communicate with my device (USB-COM converter ICPCON)? 

 

Some more things which I've tried:

1. If I connect ICPCON device to my host PC, which has Windows 7 OS with driver for ICPCON, the device is determined correctly as COM port.

2. If I connect Tektronix oscillscope to PXI, the oscilloscope is determined as USB Instrument resource. After that, I can communicate with the oscilloscope by VISA Interactive control.

 

Thanks a lot.

thermocouple multichannel measurment using Daqmx

I am a beginner in LabVIEW, I am creating software using Daqmx to read multichannel thermocouple temperatures. These thermocouples are connected to amplifiers (0-10v) signals. I have a calibration file attached that I need to include in the program to ensure accurate temp measurements. Currently, the program only reads the average voltage of all channels assigned and returns an element (I expect to have an array of all channels). what I couldn't do, is how can I read the voltage of each channel individually and convert each voltage to the corresponding temp according to the calibration file? I attached the code if you have any idea how can I do it? or could you mention any similar example?

 

Thank you in Advance

migration to LV 2018

Dear NI Communty,

 

We Have a Real time application running under LV 2016, now we want to migrate to LV 2018, first I tried to open our application using LV 2018, I got some errors but I was able to fix them so at the end all the Vis were not showing any errors, and I was able to run the Host application and the RT PXI application without any issue.

2.png1.png

 

The problem appeared when I deployed the RT executable inside the PXI target, the RT PXI application was not running, I modified within the Build specification to enable debugging, and I tried to debug the application using the “Debug Application or Shared Library” by entering the IP address, the RT application was broken but I couldn’t see the errors, but using the View tab I could see the errors.

 

3.png4.png

 

When I try to fix the errors, I can’t see how to fix them since inside the block diagrams there is nothing broken. I tried also to perform a mass compile but I couldn’t fix the issues detected since as I said there is nothing to fix. I have tried also to create another project with LV 2018 and import everything (DLLs, Vis,…) but at the end I got the same results.

 

Could you please help us regarding this issue ?

 

I have attached the error log file of the PXI.

 

Thank You,

 

Best Regards,


PXIe-8840 Remote Issue Ethernet

$

I am having an issue with trying to see a PXI chassis on the network and being able to communicate to it via a remote computer. The PXI Chassis is PXI-1092 and the controller is PXIe-8840. The system is up and running and shows up on MAX version 19 when we remote log into it. I have an issue when we try and show it on a remote server on the same network. We also have two cDAQ chassis that do come up on the network on both the server and PXI chassis thru MAX. I thought that if the ethernet port was connected on the 8840 it would show up on the network and would be accessible to the remote server, this has not been the case. Should I be able to communicate with the 8840 thru ethernet like the cDAQ devices? 

 

I'm guessing its a IP Configuration issue, we are using a switch with assigned IP's for each device. 

 

Any Help is Appreciated. 

PXI 6528 Custom Input Interface

Hello,

 

I am trying to find a solution to go from the 6528 input/output into flying leads. Is there any market solution that goes from the input interface to flying leads? I don't want to use the tiny metal block. I know if I just chop one end off, itll be a bunch of tiny wires that are hard to re-wire and such.

 

Any info or direction would be appreciated

Editing the config files for the NI-6585B

Greetings..

I have a NI 6585B connected to the PXIe-7976R FlexRIO FPGA card (using the Xilinx Kintex-7 xc7k410t FPGA. For compiling, this FPGA family requires the use of Vivado.

 

I want to convert DDCB_ClockIn (or DDC Clock Out) to PFI 0. And I would perfer that it be only an output.

 

There are more config files that there were in the ISA version.

 

So.. do I need to modify the various *.vhd files? If so, were? Or, only change the *.xml file.

 

Ready made files and/or helpful hints would be very helpful

 

Thanks!

After I rebooted my computer for some accidental issue, I found out my NI devices cannot be controlled by my computer. The error message looks likes this if I click self-test . Similar things occur even if I click 'reset' on the panel.
