Use the PXI-2630 terminal block in a matrix configuration?

My apologies in advance for the length of this post!

I use the PXI system with PXI-2530 switch modules, related to a series of USE with PXI-2632 (1W matrix 8 X 16) connector blocks and a PXI-4071 DMM for each switch module. My request, uses the PXI system for measurement of current and voltage external to verify and/or benefit from restraints of reliability. A requirement of the application, therefore, is that there must be a ride from DC through each USE with change of the minimum impedance as the application between its "bypass" mode switches and its mode 'measure '.

I used this Setup with connector blocks of matrix in conjunction with one of our test systems, and I am satisfied with the results. I started working with the Test System, has no easy connection to catch HAD, I needed to build a kind of interface the PXI system and a resistive faced load HAD, it was not difficult to build in the wires that attach to the Terminal screw of the 2632. He did turn into a nest of a coded son rat I did my best to keep clean and tidy in different bundles, however. Fortunately for the cable fasteners!

My next task is to use this application with system B Test, which has an interface of pines buck header with which each signal that goes to or from the DUT can be obtained. No welding or pass the wires through the openings where the designers have no intention of son to be stuffed. I intend to build a break-out Board that allows simple connections between the modules PXI and the number of Test B system which we have or will have in our laboratory. In order to simplify the configuration/installation, I want to reduce the number of connections to terminal block screw. Preferably, I would like to completely remove the screw terminals and use lever-based connections where I can't have mating of the headers. The PXI-2632 terminal blocks unfortunately use Terminal screw.

In matrix mode 8 X 16, the closing of the PXI-2530 switch kcom1, 3, 5, 7, no matter what points in the array are connected. A link between the row of right and column C is done by closing the switch corresponding to k (16R-C). I checked using the Soft Front Panel.

I also have a number of connector PXI-2630 blocks. These are intended to be used with the switch module in one of its MUX modes and include 8 banks of connections of the header 2 X 9 pins. In the the 2530 documentation and 2630, I identified that switch k-x is associated to chX output pin, ch0-15 related to the pins 1-16 from Bank 0, C16 - 31-associated pins 1-16 of Bank 1, etc.. X = 16 B + P-1. PIN 18 of each bank is used for independent MUX topology comX. Pines multiplexes sixteen seem to correspond to the sixteen columns of the matrix, with eight common lines corresponding to eight lines.

Here's what I would do, but I would like to ping the forum to see if anyone tried something similar and wisdon to share the thought:

  • Make custom cables which connect the pins 1-16 of all eight banks 2630's header with a single Ribbon connections 16 son carrying the signals emitted by the interconnected banks (poles!).

  • The custom cable bundle will also include a wire connected to the pin18 of each of the eight banks (line connections!)

  • 24 total wires in the harness will end in the header connections who will probably partner by the lines that I currently connect to each object to be measured.

  • Make additional harnesses that interface with the Test System B header pins.

  • Make a map of derivation using band Council or a similar material to provide header pins to connect the two above custom cables and allow the connection of other elements such as resistors using Terminal level.

I checked this concept using the Assembly of 176 pins four terminals, like a bunch of little pieces of wire and cable. Are there other issues that I have to configure, such as the elements of a terminal that establish physical components of the switching topologies? The bowels of the PXI-2632 provide more features than the interconnection of the sets of eight sixteen pins? The bowels of the PXI-2630 connect elements that do not allow my proposed scheme?

I appreciate the suggestions and all entries!

Thank you

Hi Jeff,

First a correction to my previous post: 2632 Terminal has no reed relay protection resistors as I said earlier. The resistance that you were referring to the 2632 and those that I confused, is there to connect the columns of the switch. Resistances have a resistance value zero and act as the electrical connections. The 2632 connects columns c0 to c16, c17 c1, c2 to c18 and so on. Switch cards 2531 and 2532 have the protection relay reed on board resistors.

As for resistance in the map that protect the reed relays, they are generally very low and do not significatly affect even small tensions that pass through the switch. The resistance won't affect all currents in the map. Any effect that the resistors have on tensions will be with the precision of the switch card specifications.

Thus, to address the other issue in your post, there is no resistance in the connectors because they are not necessary.

  • What is the difference between REFin and PPSin? Can I use the PXI-5652 to synchronize USRPs?

    Hello world!

    I'm working on a project I want to synchronize 8 USRPs (USRP 2920) as receivers. And it seems that PXI-5652 has a connector REF, so I decide to use it as the reference of the USRPs 8 clock. But I don't know how to connect the PPSin, and in fact I'm confused of the difference between the REFin and PPSin.

    Thank you!

    Jay_c salvation,

    In short,.

    REF is the terminal for the device USRP to accept a signal from external reference frequency (10 Mhz).

    PPS is the terminal for the device USRP to accept a signal from external time source base clock (1 pulse per second)

    You can see this whitepaper for a detailed description of MIMO system about 8 * 8.

    Please refer to the section "time and frequency" for information specific to your question.

    http://www.NI.com/white-paper/14311/en/

    I'm not sure whether you can use the specifically 5652 signal generator for your application.

  • Why does take so long to clear a task (with the DMA transfer) using the PXI bus?

    I am migrating from a system that has the habit of using a PCI-6133 (8 channels HAVE simultaneous) and PCI-6733 (8 channels AO) to one that uses a PXI-6133 and PXI-6733 mounted in a PXI-1033 chassis.

    In general, things seem to be working (synchronized I / AO to run near the maximum speed on both devices), with the exception that the compensation an AO task on the PXI-6733 takes always (the order of 20-30 seconds).

    Even when I try the generation of the sine wave for the PXI-6733 in MAX test Panel, it takes the same amount of time to stop the task. If I switch to the use of interrupts as transfer mechanism, it stops immediately.

    I tried to use the transfer mechanism of interruption on my more demanding set of synchronized tasks, but that does not produce good behavior (even if he doesn't give any errors).

    Is there a trick (or the best diagnosis) to help get my tasks working with DMA under PXI that worked very well on PCI?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you, Patrick. I tried on another computer (Dell T5400) and everything worked as expected. I think that the problems I have experienced on the first computer were due to a conflict with a PXI driver for another card I have not installed during my tests (and which I did not know was PXI, but he appeared as a PXI device in M & A once I put it in it should have a kind of PCI - PXI bridge internal?). So ultimately, pure card / slot / pilot shenanigans and everything seems to be fine now.

  • error:-1074130544 using the PXI NI 2569 map

    Hello

    I use the testbed 4.1 for the execution of the sequences. I use NI 2569, 2529, 4070, 6229, 4110 PXI cards in my NI 1045 chassis and I use my own COM server for the test bench. The COM server has the implementation to call the driver API provided by OR for different PXI cards. Now, I have improved my versions of all my PXI cards drivers. My driver versions are currently

    OR Switch: 3.6

    DMM OR: 2.7.2

    NEITHER series: 3.3

    NEITHER Daqmx: 8.6.1

    OR Visa: 4.3

    Traditional DAQ: 7.4.4 (inheritance).

    I used to use versions of the drivers such as:

    OR Switch: 3.0

    DMM OR: 2.5

    NEITHER series: 3.0

    NEITHER Daqmx: 8.0

    OR Visa: 4.3

    Traditional DAQ: 7.4.1 (inheritance).

    Now, the question was when I called you my code niSwitch_Connect() function, it allows to connect the switches correctly and returns a value when I was with older versions of the driver. But after upgrading my driver version now I get the 1074130544 error a few times, that is, the niSwitch_Connect() is able to connect the switches, once successfully but later if I try to call the same function for various switches most of the switches is closed successfully, but a switch gives the error.

    Please let me know how I can do about it.

    Krishna

    Yes, you are on the right track. There must be a main routine, a piece of code that calls the two procedures that you have described. It is probably a good idea to log in this common piece of code and pass it as a parameter to these two procedures in two files separate .c, for these procedures to be used.

  • Control PCLK when using the PXI-6534 in e/s mode

    I use ports 0 & 1 on the PXI-6534 in e/s model mode and also use output control in the mode of e/s to unstrobed for simple.  Users manual says in the mode of e/s model the PCLK control is not used, but the mode of e/s model seems to put down (or maybe he defines as an entry).  This a problem for me because I expect to PCLK to stay a high return which I set earlier.  Does anyone know how to set up the PXI-6534 in e/s model mode so that this does not affect PCLK... He's going to stay high?

    Thank you.

    Jim

    Hi Jim,.

    According to page 2 and 3 of the PXI-6534 user manual, if you configure a group to perform i/o, associated for this group synchronization control lines are not available in the form of additional data lines. The knowledge base, here, explains this limitation for the PXI-6534. In summary, port 4 is reserved once you are in e/s handshaking mode or a model and cannot be used as data lines additional unstrobed.

  • Long data collection in the buffer using the PXI-6551

    Hi all

    I would try the following (or similar).

    1 configure the PXI-6551 script that works continuously (or a large finite number of times).

    2. for each execution, the script executes a finite number of SPI or I2C data reads.

    3. the data is stored in a buffer memory embedded and quickly seized by software, there are no data overruns or collisions.

    4. the software is able to close the task when a table properly (huge) size is filled.

    Is this possible?  Only the service acquisition multi-record for PXI-6551.

    Please advise as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thank you.

    Anand

    Hi all

    It seems that I don't have a reliable advance trigger to ensure acquiring multi-record reliable job functions.  In my work of repetition of generation, an active event data (rising edge) is exported that once which initiates the acquisition.

    So I redesign the task acquisition as a record acquisition only (but huge) task successfully.

    My main goal was to reduce the time that takes to download large waveforms on the 6551, that has been accomplished by generating several times the same waveform.

    Thanks to Jon of National Instruments, which has stuck around to help.

  • Using the Airport Express Terminal as a bridge

    I would like to get video Amazon on my older Blu - ray player.  I was wondering if I could use my old AirportExpress (1st generation) as a bridge.  Now my new Comcast modem connects to my Time Machine that gives me my wireless connection. I tried to connect to the airport & connecting to my Blu - ray via ethernet cable, but I just get a flashing yellow light and the DVD on the screen tells me just the internet connection failed. Is this possible?

    Now my new Comcast modem connects to my Time Machine that gives me my wireless connection.

    I think that you wanted to say that you have a Time Capsule that produces the signal of your wireless network, correct? (Time Machine is a software on your Mac used to back up the Mac on another hard drive).

    I was wondering if I could use my old AirportExpress (1st generation) as a bridge.

    In 'bridge', do you mean you want the AirPort Express to receive a wireless signal of the time and then wireless Capsule to deliver one Ethernet signal to the DVD player?

    The answer is 'yes' to the offer that you really have a 1st generation AirPort Express. To check, look for the model number on the side of the Express in the small print. It starts with an "A" followed four digits.  A 1st Gen AirPort Express is A1264 model number.  What is the number that you see?

    I tried to connect to the airport & connecting to my Blu - ray via ethernet cable, but I just get a flashing yellow light and the DVD on the screen tells me just the internet connection failed

    Assuming you have a 1st Gen Airport Express, the device must be set up and configured to work with time Capsule. The AirPort Express doesn't quite work simply by plugging.

  • Is there a way to force Firefox 4 to offer to remember and to remember usernames and passwords for sites that use the AutoComplete mechanism to block these offers and memories?

    In Firefox 3.6.16 (and probably other earlier versions) could force FF to offer to remember usernames and passwords for many sites by editing the file ...\Mozilla Firefox\components \nsLoginManager.js to ignore site - asked deactivate autocomplete (_isAutocompleteDisabled returns false).

  • How to use the progress indicator that block the user for editing?

    Hi all

    I have a requirement where I need to display a round progress bar while processing the database. For example:-I have a stubborn taskflow and in it, I have a two jspx page called 'First.jspx' and 'Second.jspx '. And I have two text boxes and a button 'Save' on the first.jspx page.
    Now, when the user puts the values in the text boxes and click the 'Save', my ticker or the progress indicator should say "Please wait while running" and as soon as the transaction is complete, I need to show another page which is the page of "Second.jspx". The 'Save' button action has method within a managed bean that has some features and then it executes the VO (View object) and validates the data.


    How can I implement the indicator?

    I read this article:- http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/42-progressbarcolor-169184.pdf , but it does not match my needs.
