• Tektronix AFG 3102 error

  Hello

  What does this error mean?

  -410, 'INTERRUPT request '.

  I am using Tektronix AFG 3102 with GPIB and a few screws of the internet.

  It keeps popping up without reason.

  I'm new to this so if you could explain slowly and explain technical terms, I would really appriciate it.

  Thank you

  Guy.

  This usually means you stopped listening before the instrument did send the data.  I also saw this error when requesting data and then sending a command before allowing the instrument to send data.

  Need get a code really diagnose your problem.

• El Capitan USB question

  Hello Apple,

  Since the upgrade to 10.11 'el Capitan' several of my USB devices does not work properly, which up to now worked perfectly. To name only a few, these include the eBook reader Sony PRS - T3, AVR, ST-Link2 programmer, FT232 programmer (sometimes). In addition, VirtualBox and Parallels, which I use frequently, have questions calling for USB devices. Apparently I'm by far not the only one, as revealed by a quick search on the internet, for example

  Common to all these pages share the conclusion that the issue was introduced by Apple with 10.11 and that until this Apple support could not answer - at least in a useful way. And the advice to wait for the driver updates is not always an option for me the two for reasons of time or because support for example, PRS - T3 has been abandoned altogether.

  To sum up: there are a lot of people and equipment who have a problem of USB introduced El Capitan. The problem persists for some time now and there is no support by Apple, or at least a statement how they intend to solve. This is the shit!

  I'm a Mac user since the days of--oh, I don't know even the name of the model! And above all, I was very satisfied. But I must say that lately I wonder if that faithfulness is well spent. For me (and others) crucial things that worked perfectly before now fail and apparently Apple cares.

  Think again, Apple...

  A dissatisfied customer

  I have the same problem with USB: I have a cam action by Garmin, which had functioned normally before the El Capitan 10.11. No it was not acknowledged more. Using the DMESG command in the terminal, when the cam is connected to the USB port, I get this feedback:

  002223.783219 HS01@14100000: AppleUSB20XHCIPort::resetAndCreateDevice: unable to create the device, disabling port

  It really a mess and I don't understand WHY Apple has not solved this problem despite of El Capitan 10.11.03 was last updated. I really get off at Yosemite. But really I couldn't think that apple were so unprofessional!

• Unable to remote control Tektronix TBS1062 with USB Interface

  Hello

  I recently downloaded IVI Driver for Tektronix TBS1062 of national instruments.  I use the USB communication. I have configured the instrument NI Max and can identify the instrument successfully. However I'm unable to use other functions using the driver of the IVI. Stage of IVI to NI TestStand always runs without error and Trace of e/s OR watch VI_SUCCESS but I don't see any channels settings horizontal scaling and scale veritical configured by the IVI step. The horizontal and vertical scales are always the same.

  I'm not really sure, but would it be because of the USB interface? The driver supports USB?

  Anyone have the same mistake or could someone please help solve this problem.

  Thank you very much

  First thing I would do, is to ensure that the instrument is configured correctly to accept orders via the USB.

  After that, try to send commands through MAX to see if the range reacts.

  Make sure that you are not using a simulated IVI session.

• External DVD USB question

  Small question.

  Currently, using Parallels with Win7 virtual machine.  I plug in my external dvd player via the USB port to and everything is fine, but it shows in my Win7 virtual machine as a network drive with a different drive letter every time.  The software, I'm trying to run requires the CD in the drive, even where it has been installed, so it's obviously a problem.  I can't afford to uninstall and reinstall the software every time that I want to use.

  Not usb drives mount merge properly with the same drive letter every time?  Or at least to mount it as a drive off-grid that will allow me to change the drive letter in disk management if need be?

  I would like to know before you buy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you people.

  Using VMware Fusion Professional 5.0.3 on an early 2013 MacBook Pro with the retina (15.4/2.8/16GB/768GB FLASH) I just tested, several times, the SuperDrive Apple USB to the Virtual Machine directly as a USB device connect/disconnect and whenever he maintained initially assigned drive letter.  It was also shown as a normal DVD - RW drive and not as a network drive.

• Satellite M40-313 USB question

  Hello
  I bought the laptop that precedes the last week and I have a terrible problem with the USB ports. I connect a standard USB device such as mouse, printer, scanner etc. and everything is ok. I bought an external hard drive that is USB 2.0 and have also an old 40 GB USB 2.0 external hard drive and I can't get to be recognized by the laptop. If I plug the external sources on a PC, they are recorded immediately and work without any problem. I disabled all the USB root hubs so that the laptop can not stop devices to save energy but still the same thing.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The USB ports provide 500mA. It is a standard value. If the external USB device needs more than 500mA then, the operating system can not recognize this device.
  I recommend using a USB hub with external power supply. This should solve the problem.

• Tektronix 3052 b timestamp question

  I think that this question will apply to many, if not all scopes for LabView interface, but it's the one that I tend to use.  I have managed to connect the field of LabView application over the network and can run the demo applications quite well.

  The particular test that I am running is that awaits a coming special trigger, after that is captures 10,000 samples of 1 microsecond increments each.

  If I don't have LabView and export the data file directly, it has a timestamp value that is right; check-in starts at-40 microseconds (that's the point that the scope begins to record the sample) and flows through ten following time milliseconds.

  The time stamp that is acquired by LabView, is however, formatted in this format:

  7:00:00.009 PM
  31/12/1903

  I was able noodles autour with parameters in time waveform diagram time string Date and get the display on the screen to display microseconds by entering a string "6u %" in the time format string string date/time format.  However, there are two outstanding issues:

  1. the string that is exported to Excel ends by displaying the calendar stuff.  No amount of playing with settings in Excel doesn't allow me to reduce the string to a single integer representing the number of microseconds past

  2. the point of departure - t0 - always by default is "0", which means that the data are not aligned to the correct microseconds in the graph of the wave.

  I've seen examples in the online support files, and that's how I got the point of being able to display microseconds.  No one seems to have attacked, however, the problem simply allow the exit number by the scope as "t0" to the passage in the spreadsheet file.  Anyone got any ideas?  There is little for me...

  Thank you

  Danielle

  Thought this might help; the graphic on the screen updates correctly, but the spreadsheet contains too much junk and not in the right format or starting point in time (see attachment)

  You can have any desired accuracy. Just change the format specifier.

  If you don't know what that means, put running context-sensitive help (which you should have any time, in any case), and move your mouse on the entry in the spreadsheet file.

• T40 USB question "this device can perform faster.

  Hello

  OS: Windows XP sp3.

  The USB is just using USB 1.1 speed and informs "this device can perform faster..." ». I googled for this issue in an hour now without solution. The driver on your page for NT4 system. Where can I find a driver to get the proper speed? Or FAQ post, just something.

  Thanks in advance

  In your research, have you been able to find this link? : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-50838

  Even if the document refers to Windows 2000, this means that you need the latest drivers of Intel chipset for the 845 and 855 chipsets to get USB 2.0 support working.

  The latest Lenovo drivers are available from the matrix of Thinkpad here (which are always old enough):

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-46058

  I had to do something similar (many moons ago) I had on my old T40, but the version of Windows XP is come with the correct drivers, I just need to use Device Manager to update the drivers from the default values of windows to the USB 2.0 version.

  Hope that helps.

  EDIT:

  You can also find information about the troubleshooting of devices USB 2.0 here:

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/MIGR-4YQHUD.html

  The most useful excerpt of this link is probably:

  Ensure that the USB device is USB 1.1 or 2.0 compatible.
  Connect compatible devices USB 1.1 on a compatible port USB 2.0 will cause an error dialog box to appear. This dialog box details that a device non-haute speed was attached to a port high speed. The device must operate normally, but at a slower speed than if a 2.0 device is connected to the 2.0 port. Most of the USB 1.1 devices will operate normally in the USB 2.0 ports.

  In case, the problem is with your driver (s) machine (s) rather than the hub/port USB driver.

• How to control two channels of simultaneous functions AFG 3200 B generator?

  The AFD 3200 B function generator has two channels. I want to use both channels generations some vague simultaneous sin. I downloaded the labview driver: Tektronix AFG 3000 Series.

  I did three things:

  (1) try to connect to two channels in VI.

  However, all the screws of example do not support the connection of the name of two channels simultaneously.

  (2) run only two signals generating VI with another name for channel at the same time.

  However, a single channel runs after the other.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Wu Yue

  Hey Wu,.

  You need two sine waves to be completely synchronized (aka having the same exact phase)?

  If they must be synchronized, then the AFG should on the two output channels at the same time, but you will probably need to configure serial in your program.

  If they do not need to be synchronized, then is there a reason why you would not be able to simply divided between the output signal two BNC? If this isn't an option, then you will probably need to make some kind of trigger to get both channels to start at the same time.

• best practices for the structure of the code control multiple devices in a sequence-step 2

  I have a question about code architecture and to get multiple devices controlled and synchronized for an experience. It is an 'architecture' - type application, so I hope for some suggestions on how to proceed.

  I run an experience in which I order 2 NI PCI-6733. I will soon add a Tektronix AFG 3022 B and have long been turned off the opportunity to rewrite my code labview from the ground upward. I inherited from a previous search, and although functional, I want to make it easier to modify and divide into sub - VI and these. Link to the current program (labview 8.6.1) is here if you do not want to see the code that is currently used and Subvi is in a zip file. The current version of experience consists of one stage, all writing the data for PCI cards is saved for the end. I need to change that in my configuration again well.

  The new experience consists of 2 steps. The first will take place (loop an array of output for PCI cards) until he heard a 'real' another computer (connected via TCP). When you do that, it should go to step 2 and run a sequence (usually 10 ^ 5 timeunits of length, where the unit of time is 0.1 ms) which refers to two PCI, the AFG 3022 B cards and with the flexibility to add more devices in the future.

  The most popular would be structural advice. How to organize the screw, if it's good to use a VI 'master' that would control the two sub - VI phase 1 and 2, etc...  Feel free to ask for more details if it helps clarify my question. Thank you!

  Such programs typically use a kind of State machine.  You will find many tutorials on LabVIEW state machines in these forums or forums of LAVA.  If you do a rewrite, I also recommend that consider you the LabVIEW classes.  They help modularize your code and do more reusable subparts.  You can end up with less to maintain, accordingly.

  You can also consider TestStand.  It was designed to perform sequences of tests, so can make your life easier.  It would be also exaggerated gross.

  Let us know if you encounter any problems with the machinery of State or classes.

• Unable to connect to the generator signal with LabView

  Hello

  I use a Tektronix AFG 3021 B signal generator. I installed the National Instruments driver (tkafg3k) for this device. My computer is connected to the signal in the block diagram generator, I place a block called "Example - Getting Started vi". I run the vi (there is no need of connections, so the vi has just the one block).

  The vi then gives me this error:

  Error 1073807343 has occurred to be initialized with Options.vi of tkafg3k
   

  Possible reasons:

  Driver status: (Hex 0xBFFF0011) primary error: error (Hex 0xBFFF0011) - information on the inadequate location or a resource that is not present in the system

  I know that the signal generator properly communicating with the computer because when I run "VISA Resource Manager", I can ask for the name of the device and it returns the correct name.

  -I'm using Labview 8.6.

  -I have NI-VISA installed 4.2

  -The driver that I use is available here: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=005994E37F5B2318E0440003BA7CCD...

  -J' use the driver that is for version 7.1

  -J' uses this compliance record: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1095/lang/en

  What is the cause of this error and how can I solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  -Zach

  Do you really need to use the IVI driver, or you can use the LabVIEW driver? If you have need of IVI, configure you the Max with a logical name, etc.

  PS You have posted to the wrong Board. It is for the signal generators of NOR. You should have posted to the Instrument of narcotics control.

• Printer prints in symbols

  I am trying to print on a Panasonic KX-P1123 matrix printer connected to a Windows XP SP3 computer.  The printer is set up as a printer between multiple computers.  When I try to print anything from this printer to any computer, printing appears as nothing more than a cluster of symbols, without apparent rhyme or reason.  This applies even to the windows test pages.  The computer, the printer is connected directly to an antivirus (AVG Free 9.0) software has and had an anti-spyware (AdAware free and SUPERANTISPYWARE Free), but I've uninstalled the antispware software and restarted the computer.  The problem remains.  Any thoughts?

  Michael

  Note that if you do not have a manual for your KX-P1123, get one here: http://safemanuals.com/314159.php?k=80df3754c2c20dcbba291cb15f7a88ef&ID=202796&q=PANASONIC%20KX-P1123

  You don't mention how the printer is actually connected to the computer.  These older printers were designed to connect to the parallel port of the computer, a device that does not appear in most modern computers.  If your computer uses a USB-parallel adapter (or cable USB / parallel), so I guess that device or its driver first.  The following discussion assumes that the printer is connected to the parallel port of the computer.  You can perform the following steps (A - F) in order any.

  A. assuming that all of your computers use Windows XP, the simplest question would be that the printer driver on the server 'impression' (the Windows XP computer to which the printer is physically connected) is damaged.  Clean the current driver and reinstall the printer on the print server as follows (if some of your computers do not use XP, they will use a different driver, and it seems unlikely that several drivers become corrupted in the same way at the same time):

  1. Go to printers and faxes
  2. Right-click on the icon for the KX-P1123, and select Remove
  3. Click file > server properties > tab drivers
  4. Select each driver associated with the KX-P1123, and then click on remove
  5. Restart the computer
  6. Go to printers and faxes
  7. Click on "add a printer".
  8. Click on the "Local printer attached to this computer" radio button and uncheck the box for "automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer."
  9. In the combo box to select "Use the following port" LPT1 (again, assuming no adapter USB to parallel)
  10. Select Panasonic KX-P1123 list
  11. Give a name to the printer
  12. Click on the radio for the 'No' button (assuming that you do not want this as the default printer)
  13. Give it a share name (use the same share name that he had or you will have to reconfigure all computers)
  14. Print a test page.
  15. Complete the wizard

  B. as a first step of troubleshooting, check that the printer prints correctly outside of Windows.  Self-test of the printer mode is described on page 2-16 of the Manual: turn the printer off, and then turn everything on by pressing the button LF (line feed).  This should display all ASCII characters in draft mode, followed by the 4 LQ (letter) of quality fonts.  The event will continue in draft mode for 20 minutes or until you turn the power off, sooner.

  Assuming the printer that self-test prints normal characters, I see four possible causes of your problem (other than the USB question above):

  1. There is something wrong with the parallel port of the computer to which the printer is connected (hardware or configuration);
  2. parallel port the printer hardware has failed;
  3. There is something wrong with the cable; or
  4. a configuration change has been filed with the printer (I used to have a KX-P1092, which is only slightly older than your 1123; the 1092 is configured using tiny "switches" under the lid of the printer - but things 1123 makes it much easier to change - and therefore easier to ruin - by using the buttons on the front panel).

  C. Si you have another computer with a parallel port, connect the printer to the computer and install it (steps 6-15 above).  If it works, then the problem is with the first computer and quite possibly the first parallel port.  If it doesn't work, then the problem is either the cable, material internal printer; or printer setup.

  D. logically, the next step would be to replace a cable checked, but probably, you don't have and don't want to buy one at this point.

  Setting up the machine, Checking E. is a bit complicated.  I suggest that read you Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (pages 3-1-3-11) and in particular Section 3.4 (p. 3-18-24-3) in the User Guide.  You should probably print the current settings, as described on page 3-9 and her you need to interpret the results using the matrix on page 3-3.  The printer must be "program" mode to enable your apps Windows control the font setting.

  Note that on page 3-20, a possible setting for the "initial Setup" is to use one of the 3 different graphic character sets.  If your printer is somehow obtained in this mode, that could be your problem.

  F. If at this point you have not found the problem, do the following (as a substitute for Section 4.4 of the manual - I highly doubt you have Basic on your Win XP computer):

  1. Create a short test file in Notepad and save it in the root directory, for example, C:\test.txt
  2. Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK), type the following command and press enter
  3. Copy C:\test.txt > LPT1

  If you still get the output of your all-symbol, the problem is probably the material, all you should take the printer to be repaired - and ask them to check on their computer, with their parallel cable, first.
