Alias MAX

• Issue of Alias MAX OR VISA...

  Got a problem:

  I hooked two USB I2C boards for a PXI platform. The two articles were published in MAX OR with their serial numbers. I have rename their aliases VISA "I2C" and "IC2_ST".

  Some time later, one of them stops working.

  I have replace the broken for a new one.

  OR MAX presents the new device.

  I try to rename the new VISA of I2C alias for "I2C", but NEITHER MAX errors because the "I2C" is already assigned.

  I can't delete "I2C" without connecting the former Council (which is broken in this scenario). so, how to remove the "I2C" alias without taking on the jury?

  I expect the "reset Configuration data", but cela will reset all defined aliases. There must be a better way?

  OR MAX version 5.3.1

  Thank you.

  Maybe it's a little different so I 14.5 MAX.

  Max:

  Tools-> NI - VISA-> VISA Options
  In general settings select alias
  Select the Alias that you want to remove
  Right-click-> clear Alias

  You can then give this alias to the new Commission.

• Existing alias in Max

  I have an Agilent 34401 which is USB.  I assigned an alias in MAX.  When we swapped instrument for calibration, max found the new address of the USB.  But when I go to add the alias Max I get an error message saying Alias 'exist' and MAX will not save the configuration.

  I can't find where the existing aliases is to delete.  How can I remove it?  I have attached the report of MAX.

• In CVI 2010/MAX 5.0, there is a file where instrument alias can be stored and used during new configuration station warns we Setup manual Alias?

  I came across a situation where all components OR need to be re-installed. After the re - install, which formerly working code CVI is over worked. The problem, revealed there was a syntax error being returned against the resourceName by a call to ViOpen() that prevents the instrument to get a handle. It turns out that because of the re-install the NC alias established under MAX - peripheral network devices and Interfaces - had changed the default settings, which did not match expected alias used in the work previously code CVI.

  Is there a way to better control this? For example, if the configuration of a new machine, is there a file that can set the alias MAX uses so that each Alias instrument under network devices does not need every time that the value manually?

  I'm sorry for that. Please believe that I meant no offence on that.

  I don't know what your needs are. It seems to me that the import/export of MAX might work for the IP address and Alias if we check the two options in the wizard. Here the name of the instrument "TCPIP0::1.23.56.3::INSTR" actually show the IP address of the device.

  

  

• Panel Test DAQ opened on the remote system

  Using the command-line tool nidmfpan.exe you open a test panel to a device on your system by specifying its name.  Here is an article which he described.

  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/9B628A8B1B13136F86256DDB0004DE4D

  But what is not mentioned is how to call this function if it will open a panel of test on a RT system.  This is possible because in MAX, you can select the hardware and the same test panel is displayed, but I don't know the right way to call this EXE, so it will open it.  Is there any place that command line switches are documented for this program?  And what is the method for opening a panel of test on a piece of DAQ hardware on a remote system?  Thank you.

  Since nobody has been able to help me I thought about it myself.  If you call the application nidmfpan.exe with the command line switch send_break_action: with the IP address of the remote system it works great.  I also found you can use the/dev: instead of the /devid: to specify the device by a unique identifier instead of the alias MAX.  Thus, for example:

  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\nidmfpan.exe /host:192.168.129.1/dev: {84535FB2-8F2A-11E6-8061-00802F25AF78}

  Or

  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\nidmfpan.exe /host:192.168.129.1 /devid:cDAQ1Mod2

• w540 replace the cd for a second hard disk drive?

  Hello

  I ordered the thinkpad w540 last week. With a dirve normal hard drive and a CD compartment. I figured out after the arrivied to the computer I got a solidsate inside my xps 15 hp.

  In the best of cases, I would replace the CD drive, as says the config in the web page in timeline option could be done. How could I know if it is possible to replace the CD player with another hard drive?

  Otherwise I would try to replace the original disk for the solid state hard drive, but in this case I loose windows system 8. Is is possible to install again in the new hard drive with the same license?

  I was wondering just because it would be nice to keep the drive inside your computer instead of having to plug it in all the time, due to the faster speed, it would be good to use is as the primary dirver.

  Thanks in advance,

  -Jorge

  Hi, Jorge

  you will need an adapter "caddy" to house the second HDD/SDD. Ch right here in the forum, see http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?location=forum-board%3AW_ThinkPads&q=caddy... .

  For my W540, I use the caddy of http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=555 and have a very good experience over the years (W510, W520, W540...).

  Regarding replace drive HARD original with SSD, there are basically two possibilities - either you use the recovery option (create your own media - see google or trying to get a Lenovo - not sure it will work) or use a transfer software. I have used for years Acronis products, especially because it acknowledges the SSD and aligns everything as it should on SSD (won't go now too deeply in the alignment of industry and to this day).

  And if you want to run your W540 on steroids, alias max possilbe storage capacity, see my signature...

• How to apply the alias named MAX I2C device

  Hello

  How can I ask the alias of I2C device name that MAX uses in Labview? If the Alias VISA on my system is for example I2C in MAX, I need to ask him in Labview and then write the device referred to in the entry of an I2C vi.

• Alias of VISA to the Protocol TCP/IP without MAX

  Hello

  Is there a way to create the VISA alias for device TCP/IP (scope) without using Max?

  The VISA is used to refer to the scope of TCP/IP.

  I need to distribute the executable vi to the other PC and I would like to avoid the installation of MAX just for the pleasure of creating the alias VISA.

  Y at - it a tip for "mount" address TCP/IP for VISA?

  Thank you

  Here is an excerpt of the VI, I made for a project.  It has worked well for all the instruments I had in this rack used Ethernet.

  

• System configuration "Rename Alias" API isn't updated MAX

  If I run the 'nisyscfg.lvlib:Rename Alias.vi' the System Configuration API , I noticed that the new alias is NOT set to day/relfected Max in the tree of devices and Interfaces.

  I have confirmed that the Alias changes indeed via the API because constant browing of resources does VISA shows the new alias name.  I have also confirmed that the 'Name' MAX field points to the same data element that changes the API by going to MAX-> tools-> NI - VISA-> VISA Options-> General settings-> alias; the API and MAX are going to change this field.

  Is this a known bug? Is there a work around?  Pressing F5/Refresh, reboot MAX and even restarting the on-board controller has not fixed the problem.

  When you make the call to find Hardware.vi, I bet you limit the search to "ni-visa" in the setting of Experts. When you rename the devices, you change the NI-VISA alias alright. What you've done essentially modifies the view of VISA but not the rest of the architecture of NOR. So when you see the device in MAX, products OR use actually VISA as the mechanism of communication, even if NI-VISA see these devices and to report on them. Remember that different drivers may have different aliases storage locations; for instance, IVI is still somewhere else, you might have a different name for the resource.

  To change the alias for all the devices you see in MAX, you cannot limit the Experts involved in the query. The best way would be to create a filter that defines "Is the device" true, who spend in finding material instead. Then when you call Rename on these resources, it will have the desired effect.

• Attempt to initialize in a table of MAX alias throws an error on the first loop iteration.

  Hey people,

  I'll ttach a picture of what is in place now.

  I think the DELAY init that VI is ready to go for this application because I work in an another vi, but it is simply not applied in the same configuration of matrix/loop.

  However inside the vi init, I get an error of the Open VISA. (Only when I try to run the code in the loop at the top of the image mode).  Anyone of you guys do all that I'm missing here?   It's almost as if the string element (alias name) is not being indexed in place?

  Thanks for your time!

  HA!

  I got to work with a very similar configuration to jpg #2 I posted.  It turns over the weekend, someone pulled the device with the IP address of the system.  You don't need to initialize an array of the parent as I did in the jpg however.

• With the help of MAX vs Teststand for switching

  Can someone explain what is happening here?

  I went to MAX and gave all my or alias switches (MUX).  This is the tab of channels/exclusions.  According to the diagrams tab is a road named column groups. I can give my Relay connection (as close to relay 2) alias here... like 'Close Relay 2 '.  If I click on relay 2 on the diagram, it shows a link between ch2 and com.  Fine.   Now when I go in Teststand > tab properties > switch > activate the change... I have the 'operation' 'Connect'  Is - this redundant?  I already connected when I called him.  If its Teststand because does not know what I want, when I call this particular alias he "cut" when I select disconnect from the drop down?

  You would say I leave ALL my relay open in MAX and just 'Connect' 'disconnect' in Teststand?

  Can you suggest what should be the other options though:

  I want to connect 1 or several relay for this sequence, do tests, then disconect the relays?  -What connection Liftetime?  So 'Step '?

  What is multimode and when and how to use it?

  Included some screenshots

  Thank you!

  Hey Clint,.

  NEITHER Switch Executive exists in MAX and TestStand (and LabVIEW, etc.).  You can program individual routes to TestStand, or you can beforehand create complex route groups to the MAX, and then call the road/route groups TestStand.  Suppose for example that you want to connect A to B, C, D, E and F, you can create a great course called 'channels' band in MAX, then add explicit connections to this group of ranges (from A to B, C, D, E and F).  You simply connect 'great channels' now in TestStand and NI Switch Executive will do the rest.

  While you can connect channels in MAX, the intention is that you create route groups in MAX and then use these groups of road to the test (if for no other reason than TestStand is automated so that MAX is not).  At the end of the day, you can use the SW but you wish to, but we intend to the run-time execution to automate in teststand.  Think that MAX is the debug/configuration environment.

  Connection Lifetime is how long the relays must stay in touch.  For example, inflicting on life 'Step' means that, after this step TestStand is completed, the relay will be disconnected.

  Desktop mode is the concept that a relay can be connected more than once in the software.  Until the connection number is 0, the relay is open.  If the number of relays is greater than 0, then the relay is closed.  For example, suppose that you have two different tests that can run simultaneously, and they share the same relay.  Specifically, 1 tuberculin relay A and B, while the tuberculin 2 relay B and C.  If you are able to run both events at the same time (function of your DUT), then when you connect test 1 and 2 at the same time, relay A and C will be all both have a connection of 1 account (they were connected once), but the relay B will be 2 connections.  Thus, when testing 2 finishes and disconnects its associated relay, test 1 could still be running; Since the relay B will have a connection of 1 account after test 2 'disconnects' relay B, relay B will always be closed and 1 test will not be interrupted.  The concept takes a minute to wrap your head around, but finally it is quite powerful.

  OR Switch Executive is a very powerful program.  Once you've played a little with it for a bit, it is intuitively easy, but there is a curve of rampup higher compared to our other software program switch (OR-DAQmx, OR-Switch, etc.).  OR Switch Executive is particularly well suited for TestStand.

  Let us know if you have any other questions or if my answers are not clear.  Have a great day!

• Cannot create Alias name for Cardinal cannot right click maximum DF PROFI II CARD

  Cannot create Alias name for Cardinal cannot right click to the maximum example of MAX installation instructions, does not match what I see. See attached picture.

  At the suggestion of Ryan to technical support, I improved the VISA to 5.4.1 and the problem was solved.

  Thank you.

• NOR-MAX for VISA DURATION 4.2

  Hello

  I posted this on the Narcotics Control Instrument, but maybe it's not in the right place since I didn't get all the answers. Here's my question:

  I have been looking for more than an hour and have not led to what. Is there a version of the NOT-MAX runtime? I have deployed executables LabVIEW on many other PCs and I encounter a problem on one of them where the resource VISA vi does not return the exact list of the COM ports even as drop-down list of the vi box VISA set up a Serial Port. For example, the list box might show COM1 and COM4 COM10, but VISA resource find vi shows ASRL1::INSTR, ASRL4::INSTR, and ASRL12::INSTR (should be ASRL10::INSTR). So I need a program such as NOR-MAX to change the alias on the PC with the execution of VISA 4.2 engine so that it corresponds to what shows the VISA configure Serial Port vi, incidentially, that matches what is shown in Device Manager.

  The PC in question does NOT the LabVIEW development environment installed, so it has NEITHER-MAX. is there a stand-alone exe OR-MAX I can install it on other PCs without the IDE LV? Manual change of visaconf.ini will do the trick? If so, is that what I should remove all aliases, uninstall all external (VCP) ports in the Device Manager, restart the PC (or not) and start again, reconnect the devices?

  Thank you for any help or advice.

  Ed

  James,

  Thank you for your response. Yes, I use the Application Builder and no, I chose not install NOR-MAX, but I see there in my file of project under "additional installers. I will consult the installer to run from the Web site of NOR.

  After that I posted this question, I have experienced yet. I have manually edited visaconf.ini so that numbers ASRL agreed with Device Manager of / ' Windows port assignment and low and behold, it worked! If this happens on the PC client, installation of MAX would probably be best solultion, however.

  Now I'm wondering if the VISA resource find vi is just read this file? I guess that Yes.

  Thanks again,

  Ed

• NEITHER MAX unknown status and entry name box missing

  I have a lot of instruments connected via a USB-GPIB. It was working fine. Several instruments came out for calibration, but are now back. All aliases are gone. Visa alias names that I use in my application LV cannot connect. In MAX for an instruments defining the name input box is missing and the status is unknown. In the help pane rename my resource is missing too. Oh HE discarded with stuff this weekend.

  I can communicate with all instruments

  

  Hi Viper,

  You have information on what IT changed on your computer?  It is possible that NEITHER MAX somehow has been corrupted.  You can try to repair NI MAX using the instructions available on this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AC6ED75D3D93375686256E8E00245F0D
