OR 2 port 485 wire mode in Windows 7

I have an old OR 2 port RS-485 PCI card (c. 1997).  Recently I neede to configure port 1 of 2-wire and 4-wire port 4.  Using Windows 7 and the latest version of measurement and Automation Explorer, I couldn't change the wireless mode.  The entire section is grayed out. I put the card in a Windows XP machine running the most recent measurement and Automation Explorer and I was able to set the thread mode.

After you uninstall and install the drivers of the series and the card in the Windows 7 machine I could not yet set the wire by measurement and Automation Explorer or even program mode.  Through sheer dumb luck, I watched the com ports in the hardware Manager and found a button for advanced configuration.  A window with a menu drop-down allowed me to set the thread mode and it worked.

Is it how 485 cards pci on a Windows 7 computer work now?  I am posting this because I had a devil of a time finding the setting and I hope that someone will be spared some frustration in the future.

The parameters are gray because they are more accessible to users with administrator access. In Windows Vista and Windows 7, you must right click on the measurement and Automation Explorer icon and select "Run as Administrator".

  • Bytes to Port stops on maximizing the window

    LabVIEW for Windows 32-bit 2012SP1f4

    Short history: Any use of bytes of VISA at the port will stop for about 260 milliseconds each time that any window in the same application is maximized or minimized.

    Background:
    I'm working on an application that requires a connection series to transfer data acquired with a very low tolerance for discontinuities due to the lack of timestamp and small buffers. The IO series runs in a dedicated VI configured to run in the runtime system DAQ, with time-critical priority, but whenever one of the Windows GUI of the application is maximized/minimized what causes a disruption that is very important in the IO series and continuity of data collection gets broken.

    Example:

    Here's an example where I stripped the problem to a minimum and measdure the delay time as it happens (the spikes on the graph). In this case, will tell you that MISTLETOE has too much coupling with the measure, but it is not the case in the actual code, and there is no difference in the effect then:

    The funny is that I can point the GUI in a number of ways (scaling heavy GUIs manually on trips for example), but no effect is visible then. Only with minimization/maximization (the first is the worst).

    I tried to find info on this here at ni.com, as it's something I expect others to have seen before, but have not found.

    Is this expected behavior? "Property nodes run in GUI" - type of thing, but VISA-properties? There is no other solution if you need to get the number of bytes, not there...? I could try the VISA-free alternatives that are out there, but it would be a pretty big rewrite at this time, with possibly of other weaknesses...

    To minimize/Maximaizing, Windows did a lot of things under the hood, among other things by making a so-called Cup of memory size. This means that Windows will be the page on memory pages that have not been used for some time, that appears in the Manager of tasks like a massive fall in the used memory. To work correctly, Windows should basically freeze most of the processes so it can mix with memory under his feet, without application running in a dead end of sorts. It is likely that not only the bytes to Serial Port is affected, but also other functions VISA, but at least it's a try. Maybe NOT only managed to keep most of the VISA pilot unlocked here, but the bytes to serial port must call in the Windows COMM driver to do its job properly and that could be a place were Windows will block the process but cut his memory.

    So my first try would be to try with simple functions of VISA, without the use of bytes to the Serial Port. Bytes to the Serial Port is in any case in 99% of cases the wrong function to use. VISA has much more powerful functions with the mode of endpoints on the operation of reading or time-out. Properly used, they are bytes to Serial Port not only unnecessary in most of the cases, but also the top beat the hand in performance. The only case where the bytes to Serial Port should really be necessary is when you try to implement a Serial Port Terminal type application.

    If you find that the culprit is in fact only the bytes to Serial Port rewriting your code to use simple VISA read with operation of character good timeout/termination to resolve it. If other functions VISA will also be blocked (which I think it highly) the only solution is to separate your task of communication in its own executable file to separate it from the user interface (or turn off the option to minimize the front!).

  • Questions get windows 98 hardware serial port to work on a windows machine 7 using dosbox

    Hi I am trying to run a piece of hardware (which is currently working on a windows 98 computer) to work on a windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit computer. The material is a bike trainer KingCycle that measures power output and who connects via the serial port. I have the hardware connected to the serial port COM1 on the windows machine 7. The software has been configured for compatibility mode in windows 98. I checked on Device Manager to make sure that the port COM1 series works well and that the drivers are up to date. I installed DosBox to run the application Kingcycle and I restarted the pc several times.

    The issue I'm having is that when the software tries to communicate with COM1 it stops and gives the error "No. Interface fitted, error return Code (HEX) = 8000'. Is there something in particular in the COM Port settings / which must be amended to properly synchronize with the material? I don't know if this setting needs to be changed, but baud rate is currently set to 9600.
    Any info would be great.

    It is perhaps that just may work correctly on W7, everything works 100%.

    Hi mate

    As I see you are using the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
    In my opinion, you cannot install or create a Win XP 32 bit mode because Windows 7 is 64 bit OS!

    In my opinion, you would need a Win 7 32 bit OS in order to create a Win XP 32 bit mode!

  • Activate the battery Conservation Mode in Windows 10

    Lenovo ThinkPad E540 laptop running Windows 10

    When I got this machine, he was running Windows 7. With the help of Lenovo Power Manager, I was able to put the battery to load only when it fell below 40% and charge to a maximum of 80%. This configuration is designed to extend the useful life of the battery. My laptop is plugged in most of the time. I only use the battery for short periods.

    When I put the battery always charged as he did in Windows 7 (from 40 to 80%), but I could not find a setting to fix this to upgrade to Windows 10. At some point, I installed a critical update of Lenovo. I think it was an update of the firmware. Since then, the charges of the battery to 100% every time I plug the. I want to charge the battery the way I used to. I saw this parameter called Mode of Conservation in online discussions.

    This message indicates that it is possible to access the Conservation Mode in 10 Windows through the application of Lenovo settings:

    http://www.improdia.com/tech-tips/Lenovo-battery-conservation-Windows-10/

    I followed the instructions in the post above, but my Lenovo settings app does not have a power for the Conservation Mode setting. I have the status of power, always on USB, rest of battery meter, but no Conservation Mode.

    Does anyone know how to access the Conservation Mode in Windows 10? Or does anyone know how to get the same functionality via another way? Thanks in advance for your help.

    As far as I know, this is not possible in Windows 10. This feature has been removed. I'm sorry.

    How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?

    TIA

    Hi Benyl,

    The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.

    To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.

    Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.

    Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.
