I have a PXIe-1078 chassis with an embedded controller and a PXI-8512 CAN card installed. When I look at MAX, the CAN card shows that
'Windows does not have a driver associated with your device'
I have the NI-XNET 18 and runtime, and NI-CAN installed and have tried the card in another slot in the chassis.
Is there another step I need to carry out to get the chassis to recognise my card?

I am buying PXIe-8301 remote controller, but I can only afford a laptop without Thunderbolt 3 port.
Can I connect PXIe-8301 controller to a laptop with NO Thunderbolt 3 port? Can I use some kind of adapter/card to realize this?
I have a old laptop with Thunderbolt 2 though. but will be prefer to use a new laptop.
Thank you!
Hi,
By any chance anyone knows of a PXI/PXIe module that behaves in a similarly way as the Teradyne's APU card?
Thanks.
APU-12
12 channel, four quadrant V/I with six current ranges ranging from 200 mA to 10 uA at +/-30 V
Hello,
I'm having a triggering issue with the following VI. I use 2 PXI cards: an SMU and an AWG, and the major steps are described below:
The AWG is set in script mode:
- The script starts on scripttrigger0 which is set to wait for a trigger on PXI trigger line 0.
- The script returns a marker event (1) that is exported to PXI trigger line 1 as the last step of the script.
The SMU is set in sequence mode with a finite sequence loop count:
- The Sequence Advance Digital Edge is set to wait for a trigger on PXI trigger line 1.
- The Sequence Iteration Complete Event is exported to PXI trigger line 0.
- After initiating the SMU, there is a Wait for Event for "Sequence Engine Done Event"
The first iteration of the SMU in sequence mode is supposed to start even in the absence of a trigger, so I don't need to send an initial event on PXI trigger line 1, and I'm expecting the SMU to trigger the start of the AWG script and so on and so forth, until the last sequence loop count.
The problem is: the sequence does not loop, it gets stuck if I set more than 1 Sequence Loop Count. I have checked that the AWG script works properly by exporting the marker event (1) to an external physical port and using a scope, so I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
The timeout for the wait for sequence engine done event is also not an issue, I have tried increasing the value and the problem remains the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
Hi,
I'm using a PXIe-5122 to sample a signal generated by a balanced detector. The sample rate is provided by a photodiode signal feeded into the CLK_IN pin, which is taken from the monitor output of the laser, which is generating the measured signal too. Moreover, this monitor signal is used as a trigger signal, so that all three signals (acquired signal, trigger signal, sample clock signal) are synchronised. The frequency is 80 MHz.
Since the signal of the balanced detector is not perfectly balanced, even when the incoming beam intensities are equal, I have to sample this periodic signal at different points of the residual curve to find the ideal spot for my measurements. My idea was to simply set different trigger delays to "walk through" the signal curve. However, no set delay value seems to have an impact on the acquisition. The program samples the same position all the time. Even if I use different trigger sources, which should have a random phase with respect to the laser signal and therefore different positions should be sampled, I receive the same result all the time.
Does anyone could help me out with this?
I have attached my used code.
Kind regards,
Michael
This problem has been going on for about 6 months. The PXI-8119 is running windows 7 in a 3 PXI rack configuration. There are 5 occurrences of the controller just shutting off in the last six months, and recently, it has happened about once per week. The automated tester that it is used on runs 24 hours a day, 6 days per week. Here is what I find when the controller goes down:
We have a power monitor on the systems, and I am going to look at the log to see if there is a time correlation with any power abnormality.
There is a bit more history with this controller, but it might be all noise. IF anyone has any ideas, I am listening. If no one has anything to try i will start adding the history.
I'm in the process of trying to upgrade our PXI chassis that have the 8119 controller to run Windows 10 LTSB. This is an attempt to bring all "computers" in the lab to the same OS to make managing OS updates simpler.
I have successfully updated one of the chassis and loaded the latest drivers from NI and everything seems to work. After about 2 hrs, the controller shuts down and the controller power/fault light flashes green. The only way to recover is to power cycle the chassis. The user manual states that this indicates a power supply issue. Going with this idea, I swapped power supplies from another PXI chassis that was still running Win 7. The problem did not resolve itself.
Thinking that something else might be going on, I swapped the controller in to another PXI chassis and the problem stayed with the controller so I thought something is wrong with the controller.
So, I decided to upgrade another controller to Win 10 LTSB and then that controller started to behave the same way....after 1-2 hours, blinking green power/fault light. I put the Win 7 image back on and the problem went away.
I'm sure this must be a Win 10 issue, possibly a power management settings issue. I checked the power settings and group policy settings and anything setting related to "sleep" or "hibernate" is turned off.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks
Dear Community
I am completly new to the PXIe-World and are trying to command the PXIe-System by already existing perl-scripts.
The perl-scripts work for several 6551-systems here, but on my 6556-system I receive the following error Message:
PXI6551 - GEN ERROR IN FUNCTION (pxi6551_actions) occurred:
PXI6551 - ACQU ERROR IN FUNCTION (pxi6551_actions) occurred:...
and many more similar Messages. So I guess, that I cannot Access my System with These scripts, however I was told, that the 6556 and 6551 are compatible.
So my questions:
- Is there an easy way to simply test the Connection between a PXI-System and a Win-7-PC by a perl script?
- Or does somebody know the error message and can tell me, what I could try next?
Best regards,
Christian
Hi, I have a device called BOSE electroforce series 3330. It uses NI-PCI 6221 driver to record readings from the load cell using a software called wintest7. I have created an interface in labview which reads the same reading from the load cell. I have to use Wintest7 software to apply load on the load cell and then record the data from load cell into a file using labview. The issue it that when i run the labview and wintest7 simultaneously, wintest7 stops working and provides a garbage value for the load cell. Please provide a solution in which i can use wintest7 and labview at the same time.
Hello,
I have an NI PXI 1031 chassis with an NI PXI 8360 that connects to a PC over MXI Express.
I need to install some Agilent PXI modules that use only IVI-C drivers, supplied by Agilent.
When I had a PXI embedded PC, I called these drivers from Matlab and that worked OK.
How does this work when using MXI connection?
Thanks very much,
John Reyland
Does anybody know what the power resistor (6Ohms, 50W) is for?
I changed the power supply and don't know its right to connect it directly to 12V?
Thanks for answers.
Hi,
I have PXI 1044 and Xantrex DC Power Supply (7.5 V -300A), I want to make a connection between PXI and Xantrex. My actual aim is to measure the Voltage of my samples by PXI while I am applying Current to the samples by Xantrex. I am new to make connections between Supply and PXI, also I am new to PXI, if you help me how to do that I will be appreciated. Thanks..
I am using a PXIe-1085 chassis. I need to find a module to use that will provide a +5VDC and -5VRTN to eight external devices. Each of these devices has an input current of 25mA. Which module would be the best to use? Also, what pins on the module would I connect to?
The external devices have the following pinout:
Pin A: +5VDC
Pin B: -5VRTN
I really appreciate any help you can provide me with. This is my first time using the NI PXIe equipment, so I'm very new to this.
Thank you!
I have a PXIe-8840 which sometimes on startup gives me "MDI write did not complete" scrolling all down the RT monitor on startup. When this happens, I can not communicate to it via TCP, though the application starts running judging by the processor utilization and flashing LEDs on the PXI modules. I find no help anywhere about this specific message except a weird code dump web site (https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/116508099/)
If I restart the PXI it usually starts up fine the next time but obviously this is not acceptable. How can I debug the issue?
Thanks!
I have a PXIe-1085 chassis which I need to find a module that will work for reading the Health Status output of a Boost Pump. The pump has two outputs, Health Status A, and Health Status B. This particular boost pump has the following health status outputs:
Health Condition: No Fault. Health Status A output will have a resistance output of less than 100 Ohms, and Health Status B will have a resistance output of less than 100 Ohms.
Health Condition: Major Fault. Health Status A will have a resistance output greater than 47,000 Ohms, and Health Status B will have a resistance output greater than 47,000 Ohms.
Health Condition: Intermediate Fault. Health Status A will have a resistance output of less than 100 Ohms, and Health Status B will have a resistance output greater than 47,000 Ohms.
Health Condition: Minor Fault. Health Status A will have a resistance output greater than 47,000 Ohms, and Health Status B will have a resistance output less than 100 Ohms.
What module should I use that would work best for reading these outputs, and which pins on the module should I connect the Health Status A output and Health Status B output to?
I really appreciate any help you can provide me with this.
Thank you!
I have two PXIe-7846R running LabVIEW FPGA code monitoring the PXI_Trig0 line. I would like the host program to enable the PXI_Trig0 high to start the two FPGAs running their application. I have a PXIe-8840 controller. Reading the forums and documentation is appears the a PXIe controller cannot control the PXI_Trig lines.
This that correct? If not is there an example of a controller programming the lines. All the examples shows one module triggering another module.
Thanks,
Paul
Hello，
I am using NI PXIe-6592. I tried to run the example project "NI PXIe-6592R Aurora Simple Streaming", but failed. The program is suspended at the write port.vi. I connected SFP transceiver to port 0 and port 2 instead of SFP+ transceiver. Can I use SFP transceiver in PXIe-6592?
Thanks.
We are Using PXIe 8135 controller and PXIe 1082 chassis. I want a card compatible with this that can acquire data from an encoder.
Our current requirement is to get data from an encoder with 1000 pulses per revolution rotating at a rate of 6000 rpm.
So the card should be able read 100,000 pulses per second.
We are using this setup for a vibration analysis. To find the phase angle. (We already have a vibration card).
To get the exact phase angle we need to observe the rising edge of each encoder pulse with a minimum time error.
Therefore sampling at the Nyquist sample rate won’t be enough.
If we can go for a higher sampling rate, it will be the ideal scenario.
I’m thinking of purchasing PXI 6608 (Counter timer card for this purpose).
I would appreciate you guys expert opinion on whether this card will be suitable for our application or not?
And can I use a digital I/O card for this purpose instead of a Timer/counter card?
If so, could you please recommend a card for this application.
I look forward to hearing from you guys
I'm trying to use the SBS MC303 as a 2nd video card and to have an open PCMIP for a 2nd network card.
When I install the SBS MC303 card the PXI-1031 chassis doesn't power on you can just hear it click. If I remove the card the chassis and controller work fine. I have tried all the slots and with and without the controller installed.
Thoughts?
If that isn't possible, I would just like to have an open PCMIP slot. Do you know how to add that to a PXI-1031 or other chassis?
Hi
We have PXIE6361 card with BNC 2110 Extension unit.
I have tried to get Differential signal out but it remains grey and Let NIDAQ choose does not work. At least it should work like that.
Singnal comes out with proper level/frequency but only from Ao0/Ao1 center tab. Not from the BNC shield.
As it does with PXIE-4461 card
