PCMCIA to USB or series: how to do?

I hope that someone can help you.  I recently acquired an old laboratory instrument that can communicate with its old software via a PCMCIA interface.  It has a cable with a DAQCard-1200 card attached.  Unfortunately, we have only an old Windows XP computer that doesn't have a PCMCIA slot.  I was hoping that this group could give me the correct way to convert the PCMCIA USB card or a configuration series so I can connect to the computer.  The card was initially connected to a Windows 2000-based computer, but we got the drivers of National Instruments that are supposed to work with Windows XP.  The cheapest the best solution, as I am in a University laboratory.

Thank you

The best thing to do is to buy a used laptop with a PCMCIA slot for less than $150. The series Dell Latitude Dxxx has them.

The most recent is the Dell Latitude D800. Do not get the D820 or D830. They have the ExpressCard location.

Dell sells portable computers Dell, who returned from rental http://dellrefurbished.com/laptops

I have also had good luck buying on eBay.

    Hi sean2sun,

    It seems that the player is not correctly recognized.

    What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    However, try to disconnect and reconnect the Walkman on computer. You can also try plugging it into different USB port of computer.

    NOTE: Connection to the USB hub is not supported. Walkman should be connected directly to the USB port on the computer.

    If the problem persists, perform the steps on the below technical support article:

  • Equium A60-157 - PCMCIA or USB WLan adapter

    I have an Equium A60-157 and you want to add a wireless adapter.
    Can someone advise me on a PCMCIA or USB adapter suitable for this model.

    VIN.

    It s indifferent if you buy a card PCMICA WLAN or WLAN USB stick.
    My opinion would be a USB key, because you can use it on a PC too.

    I put t have much experience with these WLAN sticks but I would buy one from the manufacturing of your router. For example, I have a router of AVM and a stick of AVM WLAN.
    So you can be sure that s has no problems because you have from different manufacturers.

  • LabVIEW crashes when I add USB R Series devices

    Hello

    I see my USB 7855R of the MAX. But when I add the device to a LabVIEW project, it freezes and stops working. My system configuration is as below.

    Windows 7 64 bit

    LabVIEW 2013 SP1 f2(32bit)

    LabVIEW FPGA 13.0.1

    NEITHER RIO 14.0.1

    Does perform a work around for this issue?

    Best regards

    No, you cannot compile R USB series on a 32-bit computer. So, I used the compile the machine(64bit) another FPGA on the network server.

    On the other hand, I discovered that works well with the 2014 LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA 2014. However, this doesn't always work with LabVIEW 2013 SP1. Even examples of navigation of USB R series are not able to open.

  • Questions about the use of an external audio card (PCMCIA or USB)

    Hi all

    We know most or all W510 or other models of ThinkPad with Conexant HD SmartAudio 20585 are affected by the poor quality of the sound.

    I have a few questions to ask, because I have not used or tried before external sound card.

    1 - is the external PCMCIA / its USB, card work with speakers inside the machine?

    2. If the built-in speaker can work with external PCMCIA / USB sound card, is the sound quality and volume of music being improved?

    Thank you

    Peter

    Hi PeterTWJ,

    (1) would like to know what you mean by work with the built-in speakers? u means you want to use an external sound card to drive the speaker built into the laptop?

    I want to say that external USB sound/PCMCIA card does the built-in speaker allows you only to speaker external drive.

    I tried the smartaudio/volume control. You can set default 1...

  • NB100 no usb not power - how to reset

    The NB 100 has 2 usb ports on the right side. I tried plugging in an external cd drive and got a box with red indicator of the background task bar indicating something on the device of drawing too much power and that the supply would be stopped.
    Since then the usb ports 'appear' dead. Nothing I plug is recognized by the NB100.

    It is said in the user's manual if it is found an overload of the power to the usb ports can be stopped. However, it does not say how to reset ports IE power to 'em.

    The card reader and the usb port on the left front work yet.

    I tried the update of the BIOS to the latest 2.10, affecting all the parameters of the default bios with F2 at startup and even bought "Device Driver" to make sure that all drivers are up-to-date.

    Can anyone help? I don't know there is a simple answer but just don't see it.

    Ideally, I would like to avoid having to reinstall XP because I do not have the disk and the hard disk does not appear to have a XP partition.

    Help!

    Hello

    In your case, I recommend to remove the /hub of /controller of the USB port on the Device Manager.
    Simply go to the Device Manager, expand the area of USB controller and remove all the devices that are available in this area.

    After restarting again, the system (Win XP in your case) should recognize the USB ports and the driver must be installed again.
    Then restart once again connect a USB device and check if it can help

    Just for info: USB 2.0 ports provide 500mA so in some cases the external USB device would not detected when this device would need more than the usual 500mA. In this case this device must be connected to two USB ports using a USB Y cable or use an external power supply, as do some USB hubs.

  • PCMCIA speed with U-series of satellites of reading

    I have problems with my compact door adapter pcmcia flash. The reading speed is only 700kb\sec. It is very slow.

    How can I speed it up?

    Hi eugene.

    try reinstalling the drivers for the chipset of your machine and drivers for the card (if any are available, should not be!).

    If not, try another PCMCIA/Cardbus card where you can measure speed. If the speed is the same after reinstalling all the drivers, then try a biosupdate.
    BTW, you can do the biosupdate without worrying if you try the adapter or something else.

    Good luck

  • 7 Pavilion g series: How can I get my software original HP HP pavillion 7g after my hard drive was replaced.

    My laptop HP Pavilion 7 g series has been repaired with the new motherboard, card graphics and hard drive, but when I got back, it came with a clean windows 7 Home Edition premium installed, no updates no software, nada nothing, I was able to gently straighten the back update tool, but no HP software cannot be found I don't have a recovery disk because it was lost with the old hard drive.

    Is anyway to recover part of the HP software that came with the computer? right now I can't even check to update drivers but I managed to create a new recovery partion in my new hard drive with a download of HP.

    Thank you very much, you have no idea how much this will help me, I just got the phone yesterday after repairs.

    I was lost, but now, thanks to you, I found the light.

  • Toshiba 20 GB F series - how to change the files in mp3 format?

    Hello :)

    This is my first post here. I had + Toshiba 20 Gb F series + more than 4 years. Recently, he acted weird directional buttons were not answer and I decided to back up all my files. So I made a copy of what I had on my Gigabeat on the hard drive. My GB died 2 days a go (rip) and I tried to listen to my music on the hard disk, but windows does not recognize the format.

    So my question is how can I change the format of the files to * Mp3 *? I asked this question in other advice and they told me to post it here because you are more familiar with this problem. If you know the answer please can you me a step by step instruction? As this program, I need to use and etc.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    > I asked this question in other advice and they told me to post it here, because you're more familiar with this problem.
    First of all here in the forum you can meet the same guys in other forums ;)
    Only difference is that here are more Toshiba laptop owners as in other forums :)
    But I put t know why we should be familiar with this issue?  :|

    In any case to be honest I don't understand what the problem is.
    I mean you made a backup of your files (what?), and now you want to convert to MP3?

    Usually if you want to convert audio files to mp3 then you will need to use a special tool.
    In internet, you will find a large number of different tools that are able to convert audio files in different formats

    Just google for these free tools.

  • USB-6525 NiDaqmx how to detect where the device interrupts the communication

    This could be considered a more generic question for NiDaqmx, but I write a custom control for internal use with the USB-6525 and possibly other devices of i/o using c#.  I use DigitalChangeDetectionEvent to warn me when an entry has changed and everything seems to work very well.  In an effort to be complete, I decided to unplug the USB cable and see the result and found that no error has been detected until I tried a writing output.  This is not acceptable because under normal conditions abstraction entry begins a process that will change output - given that admission never happens, the system is basically hung.

    I tried many things and have spent more time on what I want to admit so I would like to hear suggestions on how to address this problem.  Here are my attempts that I am not satisfied:

    (1) periodically switch (pulse) output that allows to detect the problem, but I may not be an available exit, so this isn't a good situation.

    (2) periodically trying to read the input byte with the same entry workflow, this does not work because I believe that the other player is still active with the DigitalChangeDetectionEvent.

    (3) attempted to take the message of Windows to change hardware, but seems too complex.

    (4) I read on the guard dog, but not sure that it is available on the box USB-6525.  So before I start with this I'd hear rather suggestions of others with more experience.

    Any suggestions please?

    THX, Ed

    Hi IntegroEd,

    Those are all very innovative way to potentially address the problem, and I'm sorry you haven't seen success with them.  Fortunately, the typical way to capture a break between a device of data acquisition and monitoring system is indeed a timer, and the 6525 has the innate ability to use the feature, as seen on page 5 of the user manual.  I suggest you go that route, if another user does not post a peripheral solution specific to your case.  This is a documentation on the implementation of the monitoring-

  • NOR-DAQmx C to run two cards USB M series

    Hello

    I am a newbie in working with DAQmx system and need help on the synchronization of multiple USB DAQ devices. The goal is to start the collection on two USB DAQ for M-series card, and we use C codes (via the DAQmx ANSI C library) to do this. I read and resources OR more guides: "Several hardware DAQ synchronization" (http://www.ni.com/dataacquisition/videos.htm), and examples of code on the dev box NOR: "NOR-DAQmx: HAVE / simultaneous in CVI AO" (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/879).

    My understanding is as follows:

    1. set the first card as the master and export the signal 'StartTrigger' and 'SampleClock' PFI1 and PFI2 (the physical axis).

    2. connect physically with pin PFI1 and PFI2 (sources) of MasterCard wire on pin of PFI0 and PFI1 (destination) in the slave card.

    3. set the task of the slave to use the beginning of digital dashboard using PFI0 and configure the sample clock of the slave task to use the clock of the source of the exported signal from main task to PFI1 (the slave PIN).

    So far the result does not work. The error still shows as if the physical connection is not recognized (I have not yet found a way to check if the signal exported successfully or not).

    I have attached the instant routing table to the map created in the MAX and the code snippet I used.

    Any help is welcome. Thank you!

    Hi kusg.

    DAQmx unclear that some PFI terminals on your two devices are interconnected, and you can't tell him that they are connected because DAQmx only supports connections inter-appareils for chassis PXI, not PFI terminals and cables of the RTSI. So export terminals PFI of Dev2 Dev1 task signals won't work.

    However, you can export terminals PFI of Dev1 Dev1 task signals. Try to do this instead, and the error should go away (as I think it is to assume that it is error-89124).

    In addition, when you use PFI, I recommend committing the master task before you begin the task of the slave, to start the master task does not generate unwanted edges digital:

    DAQmxTaskControl (masterTask, DAQmx_Val_Commit);

    DAQmxStartTask (slaveTask);

    DAQmxStartTask (masterTask);
