• Clock and hw external trigger with USB-6210 on Linux with NOR-DAQmx Base?

  I have two devices USB-6210 I need to synchronize so that they both collect data exactly at the same time. I was told by support OR I can send the clock off Dev1/PFI4 and have the two USB-6210 s read the clock in through their own PFI0. I also want to trigger data collected for each device by sending a trigger off Dev1/PFI6 and have two devices to receive the signal on PFI2.

  All my attempts to try this are filled with error messages and my research online seem to say that's not possible with USB devices on NOR-DAQmx Base 3.4.0f2 on Linux.

  I "ve tried using example AI programs and those who do not seem to work either for external clocks. Here is the code I tried:

  #include "NIDAQmxBase.h"#include 
  
  #define DAQmxErrChk(functionCall) { if( DAQmxFailed(error=(functionCall)) ) { goto Error; } }
  
  int main(void){    // Task parameters    int32       error = 0;    TaskHandle  taskHandle = 0;    char        errBuff[2048]={'\0'};    int32       i;
  
      // Channel parameters    char        chan[] = "Dev1/ai0";    float64     min = -10.0;    float64     max = 10.0;
  
      // Timing parameters    char        clockSource[] = "/Dev1/PFI7";    uInt64      samplesPerChan = 1000;    float64     sampleRate = 10000.0;
  
      // Data read parameters    #define     bufferSize (uInt32)1000    float64     data[bufferSize];    int32       pointsToRead = bufferSize;    int32       pointsRead;    float64     timeout = 10.0;
  
  printf("Calling CreateTask...\n");    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseCreateTask("",&taskHandle));printf("Calling CreateAIVoltageChan...\n");    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,chan,"",DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,min,max,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));printf("Calling CfgSampleClkTiming...\n");    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandle,clockSource,sampleRate,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps,samplesPerChan));printf("Calling StartTask...\n");    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseStartTask(taskHandle));printf("Calling ReadAnalogF64\n");    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxBaseReadAnalogF64(taskHandle,pointsToRead,timeout,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,bufferSize,&pointsRead,NULL));
  
      printf ("Acquired %d samples\n", pointsRead);
  
      // Just print out the first 10 points    for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)        printf ("data[%d] = %f\n", i, data[i]);
  
  Error:    if( DAQmxFailed(error) )        DAQmxBaseGetExtendedErrorInfo(errBuff,2048);    if(taskHandle != 0) {        DAQmxBaseStopTask (taskHandle);        DAQmxBaseClearTask (taskHandle);    }    if( DAQmxFailed(error) )       printf ("DAQmxBase Error %d: %s\n", error, errBuff);    return 0;}
  

  When I run the resulting program, I see this:

  $. / acquireNScans-ExtClk
  The CreateTask call...
  Call for CreateAIVoltageChan...
  Call for CfgSampleClkTiming...
  Error-89136 DAQmxBase: route specified cannot be satisfied, because the hardware does not support it.

  For example, a clock and a trigger can be imported via one of the PFI lines by using a USB-6210 on Linux with NOR-DAQmx Base? A clock and a trigger exportable via one of the PFI lines?

  If so, does anyone have the code example illustrating how to do this, or can you at least tell me the names of the lines ("PFI0/Dev1" or other) so I can try again?

  Clues or suggestions would be helpful.

  Thank you

  -Tom

  The clockSource in the example specifies an output rather than an input channel channel. Change source "/ Dev1 / PFI0" solved the problem.

• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

• Can no longer access network drive with the Explorer of Windows 7 Pro

  Up to what a week ago it worked fine.  After a weekend of not to use the computer, I noticed that my Synology and WD network drives were not under network in Explorer.  I tried to enter the IP address in the address \\10.0.1.36 bar and it says windows cannot access
  It is visible and accessible from my other computers.  There must be some setting that inadvertently changed, but I can't.  It's all in the same workgroup.

• NEW EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN WINDOWS 8, BUT IS PRESENT IN DEVICE MANAGER AND IN DISK MANAGEMENT (NOT ME LEAVES NO ASSIGN A NEW DRIVE LETTER PATH)

  I buy a new drive external hard 2T hard drive (plug-n-play) for my new Windows System. When I launch the device I have here a beep let me know the unit is plugged on my USB (3.0 or 2.0 as it is backward compatible) but when I go to my computer, the device does not appear, and as such I can't use it. When I go to the devices it is recognized and works apparently correctly. After some browsing on the net, I was told that I have to assign a drive letter. Thus entering disk management, the unit is, properly partitioned. However, when I right click on the appropriate partition gout the menu to change the disk path appears but is grayed out, and as such I can't use to assign a path drive letter. I checked to see if I run as administrator which I believe that I am by default when I first activated Windows. Is there anyone who has experienced this same problem or know a fix?

  Thank you very much

  Ron

  Hi, I solved the problem with help. Because Device Manager wouldn't let me not use the format option I deleted the main partition by right click on the partition and then the wizard formatted the partition to NTFS, as I store a few large recording Daw. During the process of the wizard automatically assigned a letter from path of reader (e) but you can choose other. The drive was originally formatted FAT 32. The main problem I had was in the drop-down list that appears when I just clicked on the primary partition was options of Format and assign new drive letter have been greyed out... the only option left to delete the partition and reformat the drive. It's a new external so I didn't not lose all content.

• Assign a drive letter to a USB hard drive

  How can I assign a drive letter to a USB drive so that it is always the same whenever I plug it to make backups etc.?

  Thanks, Martin

  Plug in your device and wait for it to be recognized.  Open a command prompt (click the start ORB, then all programs, then Accessories, and then right-click the command prompt icon and select run as administrator). In the command prompt, type diskmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER.  Find your external drive in the list in the disk management window and right click and select "Change Drive Letter and paths", assign the drive letter, you always want to have.

• Assign the drive letter?

  Hello

  As my rocket was working well after going through the washing machine... I just bought a 2 GB Clip +.

  It works OK, but in contrast to the "rocket", he is not assigned a drive letter. On the contrary, a 'portable' dialog box appears when I plug the thing into my XP host, I select "Open the device to view files" and a window pops up that says: "My to Clip + 2 GB" I can drop files to copy to the device.

  I didn't install the applications on the CD of Sansa: this would assign a drive letter of the Clip + is connected?

  Thank you.

  Simple. Go to settings > system settings > USB Mode and set it to the MSC (Mass Storage Class).

• Cannot assign a drive letter using the Vista Disk Manager.

  I read these latest solutions possible, but here's my problem.  I need to connect directly a 3.5 drive I pulled a SIN of hammer to my laptop running Windows Vista... because I need to recover a folder deleted this drive 3.5 with software that only works on the directly connected motors.  Software of network recovery might work, but it seems too expensive for just the recovery of this folder.  I connected the hard drive directly via the USB port.  The system tray sees the device, but the Explorer is and of disk management to assign a drive letter is greyed out.  Please help with assigning a drive letter.  There is only one user on the laptop which is also the administrator.  Thank you!

  In my view, that Hammer NAS units are based on Linux. Therefore, the drive is probably _not_ formatted with a filesystem Windows reads/writes. Making it very difficult to recover the folder removed since all things you could do to convert to NTFS, say, will also make little probable that you can recover deleted files. Eventually, you could use one of the Linux flavors running from a DVD, for example, Ubuntu and recover the file by using a Linux tool or set the drive on a Linux machine.

• How to assign a drive letter on a Portable device?

  I have a Canon Digital Rebel XSi and I am on Windows 7.  I would like to have the images automatically copied to my hard drive, when I connect the camera.  When I connect the camera via USB, it shows fine in portable devices.  The problem is that the path is Computer\Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi.  I can't get any third-party software to recognize as a path valid (because it does not begin with something like F:\), I can find no way to get Windows 7 to assign a drive letter to the camera directly.

  Is it possible to assign a drive letter to the camera or get a third-party software to recognize Computer\Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi as valid a path?

• Windows 7 does not assign a drive letter

  Windows does not automatically assign a drive letter to one of my discs usb hard or flash drives, if I go into disk management utility disk is still sitting there in line and assets and all I have to do is right click and assign a drive letter and everything works as usual. However, it is super annoying and there is no reason windows should not do this for me. I assure you there is no disc corrupt driver problems, jumpers or whatever it is out of whack, I'm a computer programmer myself. I just never fell on the situation and could not find an answer after looking here for 20 minutes and Googling autour and check other sources.

  Thanks for the help
