Serial communication - ignore parity error

I have a question about how LabVIEW opens a serial port for communication. I communicate with a device that uses a protocol owner. It sets and clears the parity bit to indicate the nature of the response. For example, the orders are sent with the parity bit higher while responses are sent with the weak parity bit (unless the answer is at the end of the transmission, in which case the device sets the parity bit high to indicate).

My problem is the way that LabVIEW opens the serial port for communication. Using Portmon, that I captured the control indicators, that it sends to Windows to configure serial communication:

IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_LINE_CONTROL   Serial0 SUCCESS StopBits: 1 Parity: MARK WordLength: 8IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_CHAR  Serial0 SUCCESS EOF:0 ERR:0 BRK:0 EVT:0 XON:11 XOFF:13IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_HANDFLOW  Serial0 SUCCESS Shake:1 Replace:44 XonLimit:64 XoffLimit:64

Note the values 'Shake' and 'replace '. In my view, they are originally bytes with parity errors is removed. A separate RS232 Comm Debug tool that I use with success looks like this:

IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_LINE_CONTROL    Serial0 SUCCESS StopBits: 1 Parity: NONE WordLength: 8IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_CHAR  Serial0 SUCCESS EOF:0 ERR:0 BRK:0 EVT:0 XON:11 XOFF:13IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_HANDFLOW  Serial0 SUCCESS Shake:0 Replace:80000000 XonLimit:128 XoffLimit:128

Notice the difference in values. By using this tool, Windows does not packages with parity errors - that's what I want. Is there any way to change how LabVIEW opens the serial communication port to achieve?

I tried to change the parity, where the ILO is defined differently, but I think that I am running in a race condition; LabVIEW can not run the code and change the mode of fast enough parity before the next byte of data is sent by the device.

Ravens fan: the parity bit, in the proprietary protocol, that I use, is not used for parity checking. Basically, the protocol uses a 9-bit serial communication. The parity bit must be paid or compensated according to what byte do (if it is a command, if it is the end of transmission, etc.).

I found an old post on this page which seems to answer my question (my apologies for not completely research before posting... I learn the right use/search phrases that I find more information). I download the 3.4.1 version of VISA now.

  • Serial communication error VISA with LUDL stage controller

    Hello

    I'm trying to control a micro-positionnement made by Ludl stage. The model is Ludl MAC2000. It seems that the RS232 comunnication is implemented because I can talk to the controller using HyperTerminal. However, when I want to do the same thing through Labview, I can't answer the controller at all. The vi is roughly the same as the visa basic read/write in the example. Looks like a very similar problem in this post:

    http://forums.NI.com/T5/instrument-control-GPIB-serial/visa-serial-communication-problem/m-p/567065#...

    But the trick of nature of endpoint does not help in my case: I tried to toggle the termination character setting in the property node and different combinations of '\r', '\n' as termination characters, but nothing has worked so far.

    Seems to me there is some difference between the interpretations of the same order to Hyper Terminal in Labview. But I just can't understand what it could be.

    Anyone with a similar experience could give me some comments/suggestions? Thank you very much!

    Another difference between hyperterminal and labview is the speed of sending characters.

    LabVIEW breaks out the whole string to the controller

    HyperTerminal is this character by character. So much slower and slow the controller can be affected by this.

    You could add a loop around the writing of visa (to make it easy convert the string into a byte array outside of the loop and convert it to a string inside and you have a shipment char by char in LabVIEW

  • What does "a parity error was detected on \Device\ide\idePort0" mean and how can I fix?

    I have a Pentium 4, XP SP3, 2 HDs installed, and I don't think I have SCSI but in my registry, it shows the HDs and two CD - RW and DVD drives listed under SCSI and there is no topic such as IDE, Atapi or AT (the area I'm talking about in the registry is: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\) so I don't know what is happening in this area...? Anyway, everything else refers to above devices IDE or Atapi etc..

    As well as the above parity error, I noticed a little more that I will add here:

    "The driver has detected an error on \Device\Harddisk0\D controller" (this is an ALL NEW HD)

    "The device, \Device\Harddisk1\D, has a bad block" (it's second HD giving the same error msg, the last HD failed and this is used)

    "The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block" (this is my CD - RW drive, which seems to work very well, it's the DVD player that is not working properly)

    "While validating this \Device\Serial0 was really a serial port, a fifo was detected. The fifo will be used. »

    All of these errors are coming together for the most part. Please help as I just replaced a hard drive failing during the summer, now it is looking like another is a failure, but I want to know if something else in my computer can cause drives to fail, or causing errors in some way, or any other information anyone can give me to help before you start the process of replacing a HD failure (again!)

    Thank you... Denise

    Hi groovydee,

    Method 1

    I suggest you reinstall the controller and chipset drivers by contacting the manufacturer of the computer, check to see if it helps.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you need to check disk scan on the hard drive to scan and difficulty of bad sectors on the disk.

    Hello

    This behavior can occur if a hardware component malfunctions, or if it has installed the damaged or incompatible drivers.
    I think that you should remove the driver updated or installed first.
    If this does not work, test the laptop with preinstalled system cool.

    Finally if this is insufficient, a hardware malfunction might be possible.
    In this case the RAM modules need to be tested as the first part.

  • With PCI-6229 NMI Parity error

    Currently, I'm trying to get a PCI-6229 to work with one of our lab computers. We'll use LabVIEW 8.5.1 with DAQmx 6.7.1 to program the card. Using our measurement VI owner, the computer will crash at some point (not really in reproducible way) with a blue screen saying "NMI: Parity Check / Memory parity error. All the tests of auto and examples of NOR (delivered with LabVIEW) perform well however.

    Most likely, this problem is not a RAM issue (MemTest I tried, different memory chips, different memory banks). Also, the PCI computer bus works very well otherwise (for any other acquisition cards for example). Annoying enough, the card seems to do a great job in an old and slow computer. Which is maybe something to look at? Or are there other ideas?
    Our workplace is a Fujitsu-Siemens of Celsius M460 with BIOS version 6.00 rel. 1.09 running Windows XP (32-bit version). The software to use with the card is LabVIEW 8.5.1 with DAQmx 6.7.1.

    Dear Lutz,

    I could reproduce the blue screen, and
    changed your program in order to avoid the race condition. What is
    actually happens is you want 2 tasks over time the
    AOSampleClock as a source before the task of AO started.

    When
    programming as in the example I sent you (see attachment VI), you
    shouldn't deal with this blue screen problem more. However, I recognize
    that such a thing should not happen even when it's 'bad' programming... I'm going to
    inform the development so that it will be corrected with the next DAQmx
    version of the driver.

    Merry Christmas,

  • Simple Handler.vi error ignores the error code?

    I'm trying to understand the behavior of Simple Error Handler.vi, and it confuses me because it seems not be properly error code I give.

    According to the documentation, if I have an error code, then:

    If error in indicates an error, the VI ignores the error code. If this is not the case, the VI it tests. A nonzero value means a mistake.

    But my observation is that when the error indicates an error, the VI always shows a dialog even when given an error code. Instead, I use the Handler.vi to General error and providing an exception action (cancel error on match) and an exception code to get the behavior I want.

    What am I misunderstanding?

    There are two ways of interpreting unaware them in the sentence: "If the error indicates an error, ignore them error codeVI."

      1. (the intention) If the error indicates an error, the VI does not use the error code.

      2. (my point) If the error indicates an error, the VI deletes all corresponding to the error code.

  • VISA + Serial Communication - need help!

    Hello world

    I have a lot of help with my project of this forum and I'm looking for more . Thank you for taking the time to help. Please bear with my as I ask a LOT of questions.

    I intend to control a frequency converter using its series terminals and send orders from my PC + LabVIEW it. The commands do the basic functions like, start, stop, speed up/down etc etc. I use a converter Series USB to transfer data.

    Now, I ve played with examples like SERIAL COMMUNICATION VI and others and I begin to understand the functioning of VISA.

    Q1. In order for LabVIEW + VISA contact my frequency converter, do I need to install some sort of a driver for him to recognize? The frequency controller is old ages, even I don't know and I don't think I can find a driver for it any time soon? What kind of driver I'm looking for? Is it possible to customize my own driver and which would be easy?

    accessory included - process.jpg

    I downloaded some pictures about the problems of data format. I need to send information to the converter to format "telegram" as shown in the image below. Each 'function' in the 'format telegram' has varied length in bytes: some have 1 others have 2, other 4...

    I also downloaded an image called "Format.jpg" which indicates what information each of these 'functions' will contain. Note:-the frequency converter uses only the last 4 bits.

    Say for example:

    START function will have this bit of information-

    Start the Byte - ASCII ' 59 "

    Address - 00

    Control character -? I'm not sure what it should be I need to use the converter based on parameter values - is confused on what to choose - C, U, I or r Start, stop, etc. have their own specific parameter values such as 402, 404 RESP, so I guess I want update (U)?

    Word of State control -? depends on the previous action

    Sign - do not necessary

    Data - 0

    Comma - is not necessary

    check the sum - is not necessary

    Stop the Byte - ' > ' (ASCII: 62)

    Phew... How would I go about clubbing this whole format together to send a control signal? Put all this information in a table allow somehow?

    Please help to me... to achieve desperately need...

    Thank you

    Sandeep

    It would be useful that you could find a driver, but it is not absolutely necessary to have a. You can write your own, use the Instrument i/o Assistant, or use VISA readings and some discreet.

    The format of the commands is a bit complicated but not impossible. You just need to be careful to have the exact number of bytes.

    What I don't see in the atttachments, it is possible words to control and the State and the number of parameter. I hope these are in another part of the manual.

    A bytes example (without the control and settings) to update the frequency to 12.34 could be '<00U________+123403??>'.

  • Series parity errors, and clearing the error replacement character

    I have a situation where I have to change the parity on the last byte of an outgoing message.  E problem is that when I try to play, I get a parity error and the error replacement character appears in the output.  I have a few extra bytes and a few bytes lost due to masking.  This thread stated that visa 3.4.1 there is a configuration INI directive which would disable the error replacement character.  I installed 4.4.1 and were not able to make it work properly.  I'm curious to know if anyone knows if this setting without papers is always available and how to make it work.
