• Remote control of the instsrument of the PXI controller

  Can you suggest the best method to control PXI instruments with an external controller?  I have two machines.  A standard desktop system and a PXI chassis with controller and installed instruments.  I can the remote desktop for the PXI chassis.  I expecting MAX to recognize instruments in my desktop computer PXI chassis and use VISA address as if it were local.  If possible give examples for a starting point.

  Thank you!

  The Keysight support team helped me to solve this problem.  They showed me MAX remote system control and walked me through the Setup program.  The link they sent me from the site NEITHER.

• NOR-RIO Patch Nov 2013 on the PXI controller

  Hello

  We use SMU controllers like the LV RT 2012 SP1 8115. We have also a card FlexRIO in the chassis, and we use FIFO write often.

  From what I've read on the November 2013 Patch NOR-RIO (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/95CF25A09DB91FEE86257BE8006193B7?OpenDocument), we should update the systems of RT, but I do not see this option in MAX.

  After you have installed the patch, I have the documents mentioned 12.1.1 with a file mite.cdf inside. But Max, I don't see any updates to the target. I still have a single NOR-RIO mentioned 12.1 which is already installed on the RT system.

  So, how to install this hotfix on the SMU-8115 OR with LV RT 2012 SP1 and 12.1 OR RIO?

  Also strange: when using the OR update service again and expand the updates and Service Packs the Patch OR-RIO reappears in the list of critical updates.

  Thank you

  Daniel

  The component listed in the patch updated is unfortunately a component hidden which is automatically installed when you install your system remotely RIO.  Relocation of the NOR-RIO of MAX component to your remote system should be sufficient to force the patch to apply.

  Note recommended sets of software are not supported under PXI, where is expected.

• How to install the version of nor-Sync 3.1 in the remote system (processor integrated PXI chassis) to recognize the PXI-6682 device to work with labview RT?

  How to install the version of nor-Sync 3.1 in the remote system (processor integrated PXI chassis) to recognize the PXI-6682 device to work with labview RT?

  Hung Nguyen

  Hung Nguyen,

  The installation of drivers for all targets in real-time remotely is more or less the same. First install the driver (in your case the NO-Sync) on your PC, then install it on your system remotely through MAX. For step-by-step instructions, see install the software on your NI CompactRIO controller.

  See you soon,.

• Application errors of the RT with the PXI-4461 with Labview real-time 9.0.1, DAQmx 9.0.2

  HI -.

  I recently converted a PXI time system real OS (PXI-1042 q chassis, controller PXI-8187, DAQ, PXI-4461, DAQ, PXI-6259). I can write and run DAQmx applications in real time with the 6259 very well. Whenever I try to write a labview RT app to use the 4461, however, it will fail. Note that I can use two cards through MAX I tried switching card slots, just in case it was a problem. Both cards worked with labview, the PXI chassis was before Windows.

  Attached are pictures of the screw base demo I built to show the problem. Since I was a mistake (-200758) if I started from the raw strings, I tried to create a MAX task and use it. The task, but he complained of a buffer is too small. I explicitly put the buffer to work around this problem and still get the same error (-200608). I've also attached a screenshot of the software currently on the Max MAX RT PXI system is version 4.6.2 btw. (I installed the most/all this from DS1 Dev Suite 2010 version).

  Please let me know if I hurt something installed, versions if 4461 just don't play nice with the new BT or RT software, or if something is wrong. Thank you.

• How can I display an analog input for the PXI-5105 on LabVIEW?

  Hi all

  I am very very new to LabVIEW and I started to tinker with it. I use the version of LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on Windows 7 OS. I also have the chassis NI SMU-1073 with SMU-6361 and PXI-5105 modules and the chassis is connected to my PC via PCI. I became familiar with the devices and trying to see some analog signals to one of the channels on the PXI-5105 module in a graph in LabVIEW.

  I would appreciate your help.

• Read the PXI-8431 channels using LabVIEW

  
  

  Hi Marc,

  The examples provided with LabVIEW and DAQmx drivers are very detailed and comprehensive to demonstrate how you can use cards. To join the Finder of the example, start LabVIEW and select help > find examples.

  When you load the example Finder, make sure you browse by task.

  For the programming of DIO:
  Navigate to hardware input and output > DAQmx > digital measurement. There is a few screws. Make sure you look in the list of requirements to see the example works with the PXI-6515.

  You can also visit the following links to learn more about programming DAQmx:

  You will find most of the screw example it can be used with the PXI-8431.

  I hope that helps you to get off the ground!

• Is there a limit to the number of variables that can access a host on the PXI-7831R or PXI-7841R controller.

  What are the limits on the number of variables that can be transferred between the host controller and a PXI-7841R?  For example, I have several software and controls the status items that the host controller uses to communicate with the PXI-7841R.  These elements are not dependent on digital or analog i/o of the FPGA device.  Is there a limit?  Is there a specification of speed for this communication (by the number of input/output?).  Thank you.

  Any control or indicator that you create in your FPGA LV code allocates space on the Xilinx FPGA. As with all coding, FPGA, there is no way to tell a 'limit' on the space. When you add several controls and indicators, your compilation will take more time and do different things to optimize where everything is stored on your FPGA. You can see the compilation report to see how much space you have left.

  Regarding the speed of specs between the card and the host computer, which will just be specification 133.3 MB/s PCI - fresh general speed.

  Hi eirlund,

  In response to your questions:

  Is there a simple series or ethernet interface to control the boards housed in the PXI-1042 chassis?

  • Chassis PXI itself contains only the connections for the PXI bus and some timing and triggering and power for the cards. This white paper explains the PXI architecture in many more details: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52018/en/
  
  
  • In order to be interfaced with the cards that you need to use a controller Embedded PXI or a remote control which allows you to use another computer in place and place an on-board controller. A remote control can be easier to apply to what you're after however there are some limitations regarding the use under Linux. More information on what the remote controllers can be found here: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/10359

  We want to use our own code, not of LabView, just plain 'C '.

  • You should always use the relevant drivers for the hardware you are using, in this case NOR-Switch and NI PXI Platform Services if you are using a remote control.
  
  
  • These drivers work with LabWindows/CVI which adds additional tools to facilitate the programming intended for the material OR in C, this means that it should be possible to use these drivers of C, but there is less evidence for this

  Also, we prefer to use our own controller shipped (Linux-based) without a slot for a PXI card (if possible)

  • If this is possible will depend in part on the question of whether the version of Linux you are using is supported. You can look into this further here: http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/52786/en/

• Acquire more than 2047 samples with the PXI-4461 instaled in SMU-1073

  Hi all, I would ask you for help with the buffer limit.

  I intend to buy digitizer PXI-4461 and he instal in SMU-1073 chassis, namely control via MXI Express of Labview installed on a separate computer.

  What I need:

  -to acquire data of a single channel of AI, but at least a sequence of 20 kS by a acquire task, in some situations until 200kS by a task to acquire.

  The question:

  - I can gain more than 2047 samples in a single sequence, like 200kS, with the PXI-4461 installed in SMU-1073?

  Internal buffer of the PXI-4461 is reserved to 2047 samples. So I'm not sure if Labview can download remotely via MXI Express the data in the buffer of the PXI-4461 via MXI Express fast enough without any affection of the sampling program.

  -in the case, this PXI-4461 with SMU-1073 isn't the right combination, what chassis and a controller can do?

  Thanks much for the reply

  Jan

  It will work for you.

  The on-board buffer 2047-sample is used only as a backup if the flow of data to the PC host (via MXI Express in this case) is not fast enough... that it will be (explained below).  DAQmx transfers data from the buffer of the device to the host PC as fast as he can and, in ideal conditions, should not save the buffer 2047 much at all.

  Let's just say you get 110 MB/s (randomly from a MXI data sheet) flow on your MXI connection.  The 4461 has 2 analog inputs, which will be at 24 bits, we just round 32-bit in case it transfers the data in this way.

  4 bytes/sample (32 bit) x 200,000 s/s x 2 (channels) = 1.6 MB/s, which is well below the 110 MB/s, which will make the MXI link.

  clear as mud?

  Hello

  First of all, welcome to the Forum OR!

  You can find a detailed guide of your PXI system with your real-time system configuration here:

  Initial setup of the PXI real-time and install the http://www.ni.com/white-paper/12871/en/ software system

  This screen your see is just a console that returns events on the pxi system. In your case, it indicates your pxi is not configured.

  You cannot create events of keyboard and mouse on a system in real-time because it would mean that your system is not more deterministic.

  For this purpose all the configuration and programming is done on a host pc, which connects to the pxi and deploys your programming.

• Difficulties in finding devices on the PXI-1033

  When looking at the measurement and Automation devices explore my NI PXI-7853R and 128Mux (PXI-2532) seems to work very well. However, when you load a project, Labview FPGA the new project wizard displays the error:

  No PXI controller have been found on the network.  Ensure that your PXI controller is correctly configured in MAX and try again.

  dependencies the option 'R series Intelligent DAQ PXI real-time '.

  A similar promblem arises when you use NISwitch, simply, it does not find the PXI-2532 module.

  With labview, I have been able, for example using an example, reassociate the device and managed to compile a race as part of an existing project.

  However, to my knowledge, there is no way to do it with NISwitch.

  I tried to solve the problem by restarting the computer several times. Also tried re-installing the drivers NI Switch as well, with no luck

  Hi Jayem,

• How to install LabVIEW 7.0 on PXI-8186 RT

  I try to install LabVIEW 7.0 in real-time on a PXI-8186 controller.  It took a lot of time to go through the process, and it still does not, so I write this message in part to help and partly to document which does not work for later use.  The controller provided with Windows XP installed.  I created a bootable Windows 98 (of http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/98.html) floppy.  I plugged in an external USB drive on the PXI-8186 controller.  The hard drive would be recognized only when the BIOS setting specified startup in Windows / other OS.  I brought to the top of the BIOS setting screen by pressing the delete key several times after turning on the chassis (hold the DELETE key and turn on the chassis do not provide the BIOS settings.  In the BIOS setting, I went to the tab 'LabVIEW RT' and changed the "Startup Configuration:" to "Windows / other OS.

  I then started using the Windows 98 Startup disk and ran Fdisk

  Using fdisk, I deleted the existing partition and creates a new main back partition with the size of the complete volume.

  I then restarted the computer, once again starting with the Windows 98 Startup disk and formatted the C drive with the command "format C:".

  "When the format was finished, I used MAX Version 4.5.0f0 and some tools of-> RT Disk Utilities-> create PXI Format hard drive.

  I selected the Version 7.0 in the dropdown menu, complete the initialization of the disk without any problems and then used the resulting so that it starts the PXI chassis.

  PXI started with the message 'Transfer control user program.' followed by a 11 lines from "WARNING KERNEL.346530: error initializing floppy A:" followed by a prompt to re - format the C: drive.  I typed "Yes".

  Then the following message appears:

  Hard drive recovery to start in o/s real-time...

  WARNING KERNEL.346530: Error initializing floppy drive A:

  WARNING KERNEL.346530: Error initializing floppy drive A:

  Change the drive target C:\hdmon.bin for a start.

  Copy the host hdmon.bin target C:\hdmon.bin...

  Error: Could not open source file hdmon.bin

  Impossible to set up the hard drive boot sector.

  At this point, I can enter the BIOS and configure the computer to start in LabVIEW RT and I get the following message:

  "Could not load the LabVIEW RT of the player!

  Boot mode safe of Romans...

  Enter safe mode.

  The IP address is: 0.0.0.0

  At this point, I can connect it to the chassis of MAX and assign an IP address.  I can also install LabVIEW 8.6 real-time without problem.  However, I can't get LabVIEW 7.0 installed in real time.  It is clear to me if in time real LabVIEW 7.0 must be installed using a diskette or by software 'install' button in MAX.  If I try to use the button 'Install Software', the only version of real time available is "8.6".  When I do "PXI Format hard drive", I see an option "7.0" or a "8.6".  Also, I tried to connect it to the chassis with 2 other computers, which have all two LabVIEW 7.0 installed in real time.

  I saw an article in the knowledge base that says that LabVIEW 7.0 is supported on the PXI-8186 (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B35E022CF91F6EF086256E68005FBC29) controller and another link which explains that an additional CD can be used to install the software (LabVIEW RT software does not exist on the Local host for PXI-8186 controller: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4655C86B65AE7A7286256E620004834C?OpenDocument _)

  However, this knowledge base made from 24/03/2004 and I have not received any CD entitled "The LabVIEW Real-time Embedded Software CD.  I got a CD "embedded controller OR ', but it was not obvious to me how to use it.  He has an "I386" folder and a "BONE" record on this matter.

  Any help appreciated.

  After a Chase, the CD mentioned in the knowledge base has been found ("LabVIEW Real-time Embedded Software CD").  I put this CD on a computer that had at the time real LabVIEW 7.0 and Max Version 3.0.2 in it.  The Setup program ran, I installed LabVIEW 6.1 and 7.0 support and the installation tree showed that the support would be added for PXI-818 x controllers.  After running the program, I was able to install the software for the PXI-8186 and things worked as explained in the knowledge base.

  The CD mentioned also ran on my laptop, which has MAX version 4.5.0f0.  However, you are using the latest version of MAX, I don't have the ability to install LabVIEW 7.0 in real-time on the PXI-8186 controller since the button to install the software.  I looked briefly using MAX, but I could not know if it is a bug with the latest version of the Drivers of OR or a voluntary choice of National Instruments for support not time real LabVIEW 7.0 in newer versions.

• There is no conectivity with the pxi-8145 or. User1 witness stays on all the time.

  NI PXI-8145 connectivity has suddenly disappeared.  I tried to reset the IP address using the switch NORM/IPRST, but it is still impossible to detect the device.  MAX cannot detect it even if the workstation (PC) detects a network.  Also, USER1 light is all the time (and it's supposed to blink).  What I would do.  Is this a problem in map (PXI-8145) itself? or can be linked to the chassis (pxi - 1031)?  If there is no damage, what might have caused it? is there a Service Center for repair anywhere? How much would it cost?...

  K - lyn,

  The controller never worked properly?  Using FTP, look at the OR-RT/STARTUP folder (type ftp://x.x.x.x/ni-rt/startup in Internet Explorer, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the controller).  What is there?  If you connect a monitor to it, something appears?  If so, what is on the screen?

  Your User1 light is constantly on.  The LED flashing sequence is documented in the manual on page B1.  Always on is not one of the choices.  When you power cycle the chassis, the controller starts with the LED User1, or it will Flash and then stay on?
  We can start from scratch by uninstalling the software on the controller and put it back.  To uninstall it, manually put the controller in safe MODE (switch S2 - see the PXI - 8140RT manual series pp. 2 - 6 and B-2 for more details).  Right now, starting with S2 switched uninstalls the software.  Switch to normal and then reconfigure the controller.

  What IP settings give you the controller? What version of LabVIEW Real-time using you? What drivers you put on the controller? What are the parameters of the host PC IP? What is in the program that you are using? You call dll or any C code?

• Pulse modulated CW with the PXI-5650 and PXI-6653

  Hello

  I'm trying to generate a signal CW of pulse modulated with the PXI-5650 as source RF and the PXI-6653 as the modulation signal. Basically, I'm trying to generate a simple radar waveform. It seems that it would be possible to use the synchronization Module (6653) to transform the RF output on / off on the signal generator (5650), but I do not know how to route the signals from one to another using LabView.

  Has anyone tried this or something like this before? Can anyone please offer some advice?

  Thank you!

  -John

  Hi John,.

  Reading your post, it seems you want to use your calendar and map of synchronization to the RF output power, in other words, on Off Keying. OOK modulation is a feature built into the 5650. For more information, you can navigate through the NI RF Signal generators Help for devices-RF signal generators > NOR -> NOR 5650/5651/5652 overview-> Modes of Modulation and simply click on the Modulation Modes.

  An example of this is found in the example Finder OR by navigating to the help-> find the examples in LabVIEW and then navigate in the Finder to example NOR material input and output-> Modular Instruments-> NI - RFSG-> signals-> RFSG 565 x Digital Modulation.vi.

  Kind regards
