Hello forum members!
we recently purchased a PXIe-3985 ADLINK PXIe Embedded controller to be installed in a NI PXIe-1062Q PXIe chassis. In our system is also present a NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module, installed in the chassis timing slot (4). Windows 7 installation, NI MAX toolsuite and NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module driver installation worked fine, but we discovered that the CPU is not able to recognize the TIMING SLOT. We cannot generate any PXI STAR signal with our NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module because it appears that the TIMING SLOT is recognized as normal peripheral slot. The PXI trigger lines and clocks are working well and usable, but not the PXI STAR signals.
I also tried to install the PXIe Chassis in the NIMAX toolsuite as explained in the PXIPLATFORM _50-17049-100_200.pdf document from ADLINK.
basically in the NIMAX device and interface tab I right click and try to add the pxie chassis.
First it is not understandable how can I find the bus identifier root of the chassis. There is a PXI bus tree, but no evidence of the PXI bus related to the chassis.
Furthermore even if I select one PXI bus, the NI PXIe-1062Q PXIe chassis is not listed and trying to load the corresponding .ini file from C://programs/nationl instruments/PXI/PXIe Chassis/ returns the error “Could not import Chassis information. Error Code 0xFFFB380E”
is the ini file working at all for my PXIe chassis? is there another procedure that I must follow to have my timing controller working or the chassis installed?
We definitely need this capability to test our equipment and I would like to know if there are known incompatibility issues between these three devices:
- PXIe-3985 ADLINK PXIe Embedded controller
- NI PXIe-1062Q PXIe chassis
- NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module
And in case if there is an update or workaround which solves the issue.
The system has Win7 32bit installed.
Many thanks to every answering user
