• XIA Pixie-4: can I use it with MXI link?

  Dear colleagues!

  Please advice me can use digital Pixie-4 (from manufacturer of XIA) spectrometer with MXI link if I know that there is a special software for LabVIEW 8.5 kit?      This kit has been tested only on 8174 embedded plc and without having tested with MXI link.

  I heard somewhere, if the software package supports LabVIEW 8.5 then MXI link will also work.

  Current 93,

  How works MXI is that he essentially developed bus PCI/PCIe to your PC to allow additional devices working on it. Since it is an instrument of third parties, we cannot make any guarantees about the reliability of their products in some systems. There are some third-party products that can not handle operating systems 64-bit, as well as some computer manufacturers who are unable to manage bridge PCI expansion and this should take into consideration when you decide to use a MXI card in a PXI chassis. However, I believe that as long as your device Pixie-4 of XIA is compatible with the version of Windows and any software on this computer, then it should not cause problems with start-up and operation. Devices may also not appear in measurement and Automation Explorer because they are third-party devices, however, if you have software installed on the PXI-8184 controller, then the same software should work on the desktop PC that uses the MXI map as the same data to which are connected the 8174, is accessible by the MXI Board.

• What type of connectors are used with MXI-4 cables?

  I have two MXI-4 cards (PXI-8331). One in each of the two PXI chassis I have in the lab

  I also three MXI - 4 A-03 190957 of copper and wish to connect the cables together using connectors (preferably two mini DB9 GEF/DB9 Fem sex changing connectors or something simular)

  Once again the objective, in the first PXI to have a PXI-8331 that connects to a MXI-4 cable that connects to a mini connector GEF DB9 which connects second MXI-4 cable that connects then on the second mini connector DB9 GEF that will link now to the third MXI-4 cable that will connect to the second PXI-8331 in the second PXI.

  Once again a long series between the two PXI-8331 locations using three cables. If these two DB9 connectors cannot be used what should I advise you?

  Resolved, I called OR support and told me that the idea of "bulkhead connector" the mine would not work. The freq high through the Fibre Channel cable would cause conflicts with connections DB9 Fem/Fem, I planned to use.

  Solution, find two MXI-4 cable where one end was sex male, the other female. Then use the third (male on both ends) cable to connect the two. NEITHER does not have these MXI-4 FC cables (DB9 M/DB9 F) but I found them elsewhere.

  Thanks for the help...

• Remote access for PXI with DAQmx

  I have a PXI chassis with a real-time embedded (PXI-8186) controller and some modules DAQ (PXI-6259) x 2. I've been programming this via LabWindows with a kind of client-server of RT - UI thing by using network variables and others. For some applications, it would be enough and more convenient to be able to interact with the PXI hardware directly from a connected PC network DAQ.

  The controller running a VISA server, it seems that I could connect to a remote machine with a kind of viOpen ("visa://pxi.somewhere.com//PXI0::15:INSTR"); ") and then contact a particular data acquisition card. But I can't find any information on the programming of the 6259 in any way other than DAQmx or similar.

  First question then: is the interface PXI - 6259 VISA described anywhere?

  More practical would be to continue to use DAQmx, through something like DAQmxCreateDOChan (taskHandle,"pxi.somewhere.com//Dev1/port0/line0:4",...)

  I found references to what we call 'Remote access appliance', for example:

  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/5CC9792C6CD4A34C862565BC0072D5DF

  that seems to put in place something equivalent, but I don't find it to watch it in MAX:

  Start-> all programs-> National Instruments-> NI - DAQ-> the remote device access server

  and I've seen suggestions that maybe it isn't that for traditional DAQ or only pre 7.0, or in any other way was no longer applicable.

  Second question: "Remote device access" are always and how to I install/activate it on my PXI controller?

  Someone at - it clues as to the foregoing, or any other way to get the same kind of features?

  Thank you

  Hello Mike,.

  Remote device access was a feature in NOR-DAQ traditional long just now.  This feature was not worn on OR-DAQmx because the framework it was built on does not really correspond with the need of modern times for network security.

  Unfortunately, there is no functionality you describe by saying to DAQmx.  Currently, this type of control is limited to deploying applications to the target of RT.  While the VISA is used for some parts of the DAQmx interaction, these function calls are not documented.  Someone else on the forums may be able to help if they tried to implement something like this in the past.

  Good luck!

• PXI-8360 (MXI-Express) PCI-8361 + Dell OptiPlex 9020 = "device cannot start." (Code 10) »

  Hello

  I have a chassis PXI-1050, conencted to a Dell OptiPlex 9020 via a PXI-8360 and a PCI-8361 (identified as 199392B - 01L). It is Windows 7 64-bit. I can't start Windows very well, but MAX can't see all my PXI hardware. The Device Manager has also 2 inputs "PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge" with exclamation points.

  I placed an old FireWire PCI card in the same dwelling and recognized PC. Thus, the slot went very well.

  I transferred the PCI-8361 to an old PC that contains older drivers, and he acknowledged all my PXI hardware. For example, PXI gear works fine.

  What could be the problem? Here's a screenshot of my software OR installed. I think I installed all the drivers I need. I checked NI Update Service; There is no update of Critcal, and only updates and Service Packs listed are 2013 LabVIEW and TestStand 2013.

  

  JKSH,

  I look in that little bit more and think that I now know enough to be dangerous.

  The BIOS allows the PCI Express native control mode in Windows.  PCIe natively do not like some of the architecture when you use the PCI card version, so it disables the bridges on the PXI card.  I can tell that your OS is PCIe natively because it lists one of the ports as "PCI standard PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X bridge" Device Manager like you posted.

  I found that you can disable PCIe native mode, if you want to try it (but in general using the card PCIe is a better option).  Here are the steps:

  -Open the start menu and type "cmd" in the search box; Right click on "cmd.exe" and run as administrator.

  -In the command window, type "bcdedit/set pciexpress forcedisable.

  -Reboot.

  I don't think it would break anything (it doesn't have on a system I've tried).  If you want to reverse the trend, the command is ' bcdedit/set pciexpress by default'

• Failed to trigger PXI with DAQmxCfgDigEdgeStartTrig

  Well, here's another question from the novice:

  First of all what I want to do:

  (1) remove the timestamps a PXI-6682

  (2) synchronize these timestamps with analog inputs

  Now, here's what I've done so far:

  NOR-Sync:

  (1) create a clock that generate 1 rising edge per second on NISYNC_VAL_PXITRIG0

  (2) connect this clock to create stamps on rising edges

  NOR-Daqmx:

  (1) create the task

  (2) creating a channel

  (3) link canal beginning relaxation for "PXITrign."<--fails...weird that="" i="" shouldn't="" use="" nisync_val_pxitrig0="">

  'PXI_Trig0 '.

  Now I need to do this because I want to have a timestamp exactly when I start to extract samples... because my preliminary tests created abuffer overflow because my timestamp was never available (so whenever I got the samples, I'd wait 1 second before)

  What I am doing wrong?

  First of all thank you for your response.

  Yes, I fall on this piece of information, although, unfortunately, I do not use LabView but C++...

  In addition,

  I solved my problem of compiling using NISYNC_VAL_PXITRIG0 after all (seems the name was a little misexplained in the Daqmx library)

  Now, I have received several questions arise, but those who are on other threads.

  So I guess I'll close it and let my other son give me more answers

  Thank you very much,

• How to read / write several channels at a time target real PXI with a Board of 6259

  On a PXI real-time target, I was able to access more of a channel at a time.  The attached example illustrates the problem, when the second analog read occurs, I get a 'resource is reserved error '.  It is my first challenge in real time and do not know how to proceed.  In the end, I need to read three channels of analog input and analog output channel in the loop in real time.  Thanks for any help.

  Yes.  You need to put the two analog inputs in a single task.  There is only a single clock for reading of the analog inputs.  If you use it for a task, this clock is reserved and the other task cannot use it.

  That means connecting it to an analog output channel must do with it?  If the ai0 is not connected to anything, why you try to read it?

  The reason why you see something on this channel, it is that you see the residual value in reading the other analog input channel.  When you have an open circuit, the amplifier may not load or unload by another value, if you see a ghost of the other channel.  The entry for the land of analog unused thread and you'll see that the reading is zero or very close.

• Export Excel has a field with the exp notation

  Hi Doug,.

  You can write your own procedure to export to excel. As follows, you can do so and also to solve the problem you are experiencing.

  1. create a report on the emp table, showing sal, ename and empno column.

  2. create a blank page.

  3. create a process before heading in this white page with the following code:

  declare
  I have NUMBER: = 0;
  Start
  -Set the MIME type
  owa_util.mime_header ("application/octet", FALSE);
  -Place the name of the file
  HTP.p ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename = "emp.csv" ');
  -Close the HTTP header
  owa_util.http_header_close;
  -To loop through all the rows in the EMP
  for x in (select ename, empno, sal
  WCP
  where deptno =: P73_DEPTNO)
  loop
  i: = i + 1;
  -Print a portion of a line,
  -separated by commas and ended with a CR
  If I = 1 then
  HTP. PRN ('Name' |) ',' || 'Empno ' | «, » || "Salary". Chr (13));
  end if;
  HTP. PRN (x.ename |) ',' || x.EmpNo | ',' ||
  '='||'"'|| x.Sal |' » ' || Chr (13));
  end loop;
  -Send an error code so that the
  -rest of the HTML does not
  htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error: = true;
  end;

  4. create a button in the report to branch to the empty page created above.

  And that's all.
  Note that I used '=' and 'in the procedure above to treat the number of shaped question.

  It will be useful.

• Can I connect a link more MXI for PXI-1033 card in order to work with it

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  Tell me please that I can plug a card of MXI link more in the PXI-1033 chassis in order to work with it.

  In other words, I don't use the built-in controller for MXI and want to work with the NI PXI-8366 MXI-Express and PXI-1033.

  Thank you.

  The answer to your question is no. The question that must be taken into consideration is the type of housing, we have access to on the PXI-1033. To use a PXI MXI card for control purposes in a PXI system, we need to use the card in a slot of system controller (denoted by a triangle around the number of slots on the chassis). With the 1033 however, we have no access to slots control. Because of the connection of controller MXI incorporated, we only have access to a calendar/trigger and devices slots.

  Is there a particular reason you don't want to use on the 1033 MXI connection, or you just want to avoid having to change the connection to another computer?  Single MXI cards which would depend on the space available on the PXI-1033 would be something along the lines of the 8367 and 8367, who are used to the Garland of a separate chassis.

• two drivers of PXI chassis with Configuration problem

  Hello

  I have two PXI chassis. One is PXI 1033 and works perfectly with the NI PXI-5404, 5105, 6509, 1409, installed 8336. The other is 1036 PXI with the PXI-5404 NI, 8366 installed. When I was trying wreath connect, as master 1033, 1036 as slave, I found several problems.

  1. in the Measurement & Automation Explorer, does not have my good guys in 1033. Instead, there is a sign of the Red Cross in bottom right with 6509, 5105, 5404.

  2. I can't find an another 5404 of the 1036. In fact, I can't find 1036 in MAX.

  Update BIOS. My PXI system is already identified under the name 'NOR PXI - 1033 Embedded MXI Express' and Chassis1 is identified as 'NOR PXI 1033'.

  So I made several tests as below:

  1. unscrew the 5404 1036 slave. MAX can configure 2 1036 chassis. Ok. But when I reconnect 5404 in 1036, same result happened as stated above.

  2 uninstall the driver of 5404, so the 5404 in 1033 does not either now. And then reboot again, same result happens again. Cannot detect the 1033 chassis. Other vouchers in 1036 don't work either.

  Please, any suggestion is highly appreciated.

  Sincerely,

  Bin

  Hi Ben,

  This happens sometimes with MXI-Express:

  Error code 12 with MXI-Express

  http://forums.NI.com/T5/PXI/two-PXI-chassis-connection-with-configuration-problem/m-p/1475876#M9033

  In general, you can read this error 12 means on Device Manager:

  If it was a problem of bandwidth, PCI or PXI side, you could pull a few cards to see if that alleviates the problem, or that the link from Microsoft over the States, you can disable the driver for other cards.

• PXI-ExpressCard8360 on laptop Linux

  A PXI-ExpressCard8360 is usable on a laptop with Linux?

  Is this possible? All the world does?

  I have a laptop that uses the PXI-ExpressCard8360 to connect to a chassis PXI-1036 MXI express with Windows 7. My client asked to bring the app to Linux and I found some information on the modules I use, but nothing about anyone using the ExpressCard connection.

  Matt,

  The PXI-ExpressCard8360 kit you mentioned will work as well in Linux as "regular" kits planned MXI that you do not use NI MXI-Express BIOS software compatibility to work around BIOS problems.

  "" If you don't know if you use it, look for "all programs" National Instruments "Configuration of the ExpressCard-8360 card" on a working system (Windows).  If it is not installed, then you should be good.  If this is the case, start to check the configuration of your card ExpressCard (see the Readme with the software for further instructions).  If you can disable compatibility mode, uninstall software compatibility OR MXI - Express BIOS, reboot and run normally then you should be good.

• Auto boot PXI DMM

  I use NI PXI DMM 4065/4071/4072 with MXI controller to measure the current continuous on my device.

  I am very sure that PXI DMM are not initialized because the device could not be activated at PC startup

  unless I opened the DMM front panel and cofigure software current continuous.

  Is it possible to auto initialize PXI DMM when I start computer, as do the autonomous way instruments?

  Thanks in advance.

  Adam

  Hi Adam,.

  I think you could do this by building
  a VI to set up your DMM and then placing the VI (selected to run
  When opened or configured as an executable) in the startup directory
  (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Menu\Programs\Startup). Hope
  This is useful!

• Question of MXI - 2 / MXI-4

  I'll need to develop a test program on a test system VXI which is controlled by an external PC running LabView 8.2 and bound by a MXI-2 interface.  For my needs, I need to add a PXI chassis for a few extra features.  My question is if it is possible to buy a PXI - MXI-4 interface (or something else) and daisy chain it along the existing PCI - MXI-2 string, or would I need a second MXI interface in the PC?  If it is possible, are there requirements on the corresponding channel PXI chassis?

  TIA,

  George

  Find my own answers (Google seaches site help when you can't find information otherwise).  I guess that most of the people here do not deal VXI/PXI with an external computer, slot-limited... at least, not more.

• MXI-4, Manager of configuration problems and data base, clean install MAX

  Hello

  I have a problem with the MXI-4 kit / PCI-8331

  -C' is a clean install of MAX, using the default installation option.

  -Win XP 32. The PCI-8331 is the only PCI site in PC

  With the GUI of MAX does not, plug-and-play detects the jury.

  If I reboot, connect 8336 PXI and an another Council PXI (6641) in PXI basket, it's OK by PnP display.

  But as soon as I open MAX and expand the tree view of the devices, the Configuration Manager stops.

  I ge the message 'to NOR-PAL service Manager has encounterd a problem and needs to close' and 'MAX expired in the meantime a driver. "

  -J' have removed everything, reinstalled MAX, but the problem remains the same.

  -J' deleted configuration in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MAX\Data Dictionaries\Last

  -I see a number of DLLs being re-written there, when I restart MAX, however there is no file config3.max (retrieved the entire disk) as suggested elsewhere.

  -It seems that if I only have the PCI card installed, I still have the same problem.

  I'd like to find if there is a problem with the hardware of the Board of Directors, the BIOS or the installation of MAX?

  Thank you

  Partially solved.

  The PCI-8331 seems to work in another PC, equipped with a newer BIOS.

  Could not test with MXI-8336 a hanging basket, as it is in a different location.

  Uptdating the BIOS of the computer 'defective' did not help, it seems like a new computer/motherboard is necessary.
