Installation of NI-VISA and NOR-488. 2 on Mac

I have a new Mac on which I am trying to install instrumentation OR (VISA and GPIB) pilots, and things don't work any tips would be appreciated. I downloaded the most recent version of these two (14.0 visa) and 3.0.1 for the GPIB, ran the installers (restart the computer between the two installed) and then tried to run the VISA configuration utility and the GPIB configuration utility to verify that the drivers were ok (at this point, no measuring equipment is attached to the machine (ultimately, the material will be a USB-> RS232 adapter and a USB-> adapter GPIB).

The two configuration utilities crashed running. Config GPIB obtained in what concerns to the top of its window and then crashed a few seconds later; NI-VISA never even managed to finish to display the home screen.

In reviewing reports of incidents, accidents seem to be in the OR-PAL driver at low altitude. The report indicates that

/ Library/Frameworks/nipalu. Framework/versions/1/nipalu

Abort() called

Poking around the list of files mentioned in the uninstall NOR-PAL guide, it seems that the kernel extension nipalk.kekt was not actually installed correctly (it is absent of/Library/Extensions and/System/Library/Extensions, and according to the uninstall folder, it should be present in both. I tried to copy the kext above a machine that does not have a functioning VISA/GPIB install, but OSX refused to load because it has not actually been installed.

My plan right now is follow the uninstaller for VISA, GPIB and NOR-PAL and then try to run the installers, but I fear that I will end up in the same place. Y at - it something special or something needed to get these drivers to install correctly (i.e. should things be installed in a specific order, should I try to install VISA 5.4 and then do an upgrade installation 14, try to sacrifice a goat, stuff like that)?

The material is a Mini Mac OSX 10.9.5 running.

Thanks for any help.

And just to follow up with a few additional details, I went through the same procedure on a second Mac that was fresh out of the box. When running Setup for NOR-488, one of the things that we tried to install was an "Update" the subsystem NI Core Services of pilots. This was despite the fact that the VISA facility has implemented a much newer version of the kernel drivers.

Thus, it seems that the problem is that NEITHER-488 Setup does not correct version control before overwriting the subsystem of pilots. He obviously checked that the driver has been installed, since the action has been listed as "update" instead of "install".  At least in principle, running the installer of NOR-488 first, then the VISA installer should work, but for some reason some the only time where I tried in my tests, it did not work. Maybe, I haven't had a full work of sanitation among other failed attempts. Just for the record, is the sequence that seems to work

(0) remove all traces of any agreement, failed to install. Follow the steps described in the files uninstall.txt for NOR-488. 2, NI-VISA and NOR-PAL. The uninstall for this latter guide is located in/Library/Application Support / National Instruments/NOR-PAL

(1) perform a standard installation of NI-VISA 14.0. Restart the computer. Check VISA works (just run the config utility)

(2) perform a standard installation of NOR-488. 2 3.0.1. Restart the computer. The VISA and GPIB crash when access

(Optional) curse (2A) to the length

(3) perform a standard installation of NI-VISA 14.0. Restart the computer. The VISA and GPIB should now be functional.

Tested on a pair of 'Late 2012' Mac mini OSX 10.9.4 running. One machine was Labview 2014 before you install the drivers for the instrumentation, the other had not installed LabVIEW.

    Ladies and gentlemen,

    NOR does not sell Agilent GPIB boards. It's like Microsoft, selling Apple products. In order to use a Board of Agilent GPIB, you need to use VISA. In addition, read this:

  • Disagreement of Tektronix TDS 3000 VISA and pilot

    My lab is trying to use LABVIEW 2015 in order to obtain numerically a 3054 Tektronix TDS Oscilloscope waveform data. We have (on two separate computers) installed the latest version of VISA (15.5) and the Tektronix 3000 series drivers. However, when we open the instrument control drivers and run one of the examples, we get the following error

    "Error 1073807202 occurred in opening VISA to Tektronix TDS 3000 Series.lvlib:Initialize.vi-> Tektronix TDS 3000 Series Auto Setup Waveform Acquire.vi"

    We have reinstalled the drivers on both computers with no luck, the error continues. We have also re-installed VISA, but the error persists. Is that what could be missing regarding how to actually set this instrument on the rise and synchronize it with labview? We connect the oscilloscope to our computers using a GPIB to USB cable and systems are more or less insensitive.

    No indication in this regard would be appreciated,

    Thank you

    If you use GPIB, you must also have installed NOR-488. 2.

  • NOR-488. 2 missing

    Hello

    I made a kit of distribution for one of my programs, but then decided to add on the program. When I went to build another distribution kit, Labwindows stops halfway through and said that NEITHER-488. 2 could not be found in the directory and insert the Labwindows DVD driver. After that I inserted the disc, it still can't find the NOR-488. 2. This has happened on two separate computers with installed Labwindows. What can I do to get this driver?


  • Cannot uninstall legacy NOR-488. 2

    I took a very old project that was created on a very old version of Labwindows. I built it on Labwindows/cvi 2010 and the distribution built OK.

    When I try and load the executable file on another computer, the load stops with a message that says to remove the legacy NOR-488. 2.

    There is no selection for the NOR-488. 2 in the software from National Instruments under Add / Remove programs.

    How can I remove this?

    ----------------

    It is meaningless.

    You have to step way back. The Setup instructions for the GPIB-USB-HS shows you first run diagnostics. Finally, you have done this and got a failure. That's why you get "NOR-488: connection to the driver or a device error. Until the diagnostics pass, you lose everything just your time with anything else. Please provide details on the failure when you run the diagnostic tests.

  • LV 2016: LabVIEW could not create the required channel file permission error endpoint; NOR-488: Error of hardware detected DMA

    NOR-488: Error detected DMA hardware.

    I have error permition from file to file, file that is?

    By chance, do you have re-defined the default data directory in LabVIEW?  LabVIEW uses to host files for the warp threads, and if you moved from its default position in your profile (C:\Users\\Documents\LabVIEW data), especially if you moved it to the root of C:, it could become unalterable.  This must remain in your profile!

  • When you try to uninstall several programs via the Control Panel, I get a message that "another installation is in progress and must be completed first". I have no other current facilities. Windows XP Home Edition

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello dutchb,

    The error, "another installation is in progress and must be completed first" can be attributed to the InProgress key found in the registry at:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    I suggest that first make a backup of the registry or a system restore point. Then go to control panel, administrative tools, Services. Do scroll down and find the Windows Installer service, and set the start at the stop State. Delete the registry key to the location above.

    Now, you shouldn't get the installation in the progress message when you try to uninstall programs.

    I hope this helps.

    To get the orange FF tab, go to view > toolbars > menu bar. This should uncheck the menu bar giving you the orange button.

    Panorama is a box made of 4 gray rectangles which should be on the far right, if not once you activate the orange FF tab, right click anywhere on a toolbar that doesn't has nothing to this topic, and you should get a menu with a list of your toolbars that you can check and uncheck the box. Come on down to personalize everything down and it will open a window with all your buttons. Find groups of panorama/tab button and drag it to the toolbar of your choice.

    to pin a tab as an app, right-click on it; It is an option in the context menu.

  • I accidentally deleted iPhotos after installation of El Capitan and were not able to download or reinstall.

    I accidentally deleted the iPhoto app on my new mac after installation of El Capitan and are not available for download, except the updates, which obviously doesn't work. How can I get that back?

    You can probably not - most likely, you will need to switch to Photos (what would happen sooner or later anyway)

    Have you looked under purchases in the app store?  Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

    If it is not there you can try reinstalling iPhoto 11 of the original source and the upgrade to 9.6.1 but I doubt it will work

    Or you can try to restore your backup from just before you shape did this error

  • I need help with an installation failure to interpret and troubleshoot a Setup log.

    Background: A few years ago, many editors of cinema used Final Cut Pro 6 (also contained in Final Cut Studio 2) for their editing projects.  Shared Apple Final Cut X uses a different format that is not compatible with FCP6.  Sometimes, these editors are called to work on a few historical projects that have been published in FCP6 and need this version to run now.

    Starting with OS X Lion, FCP6 would install not in Lion and thereafter.

    According research by Jeremy Johnston as noted on his blog, he discovered that Apple has inserted a file in the folder CoreServices in the Library folder of the system folder that causes versions the version Final Cut Pro X (and other older Apple programs in the same situation) do not settle.  He suggested changes to this file that would seek to prevent interfering with the installation of FCP6 in Lion, many users of final cut PRO 6 were successful in their efforts to install in Lion and work with it.

    Later in a discussion update on installing FCP6 in Mavericks, HawaiianHippie determined that the simplest way to perform the installation of FCP6 was simply copy this file and remove it from the system folder, install FCP6 and then restore the copied file:

    First of all, I need advice on how to display an extremely large Setup log in this thread (on MacRumors, it is a method to insert a 'code' in a small box that can be the object of a scrollbar if necessary to read all along).  I am unable to find such a method to post here.

    Then once approved, I need help to determine which component is causing the installation to fail and perhaps this element can be omitted from the installation:

    If this element is not required, then maybe FCP6 can be installed successfully without it.  And if that omitted element is necessary, perhaps a manual method to install it can be determined by pacifists.

    It is my goal to help those who need to install and use FCP6 on their new Macs running El Capitan.
