  • NEITHER 9481: Why dose the relay turn off all channels once every time when the vi is executed?

    Hello all, I use cRIO 9025 and NI 9481 to develop a program. The relay is used as switches.  I designed it, is that when I run the vi, the channels of the relay are all on. When the port of entry of the digital input/output module gives a signal to the relay, the relay channels is disabled. However, whenever I run the vi, the relay is disabled once and then trund once again. May I ask why is this happenning? I guess that's because the default state of the relay is disabled. Is there a way to fix this?

    Thank you very much!!

    All the relay modules are like that and there is nothing that can be done as far as I know. Electromagnetic relay are generally loaded spring and holding (switch closed) by a voltage sent to the relay. They will turn off when restart you on the relay controls. You can set the State of the relay on real as the first thing when you start your VI, but beyond that you would have to solve your electrical problem, control switching relay at a constant voltage during the startup of the program. However, in most cases it would be risky and unreliable. However, there are many different types of relay and you did not specify that you are using.

    See basic operation section, section of this article to read on how to relay themselves by default to the State of open circuit:

    Hello

    It seems that you have activated the narrator in your computer. Windows comes with a screen reader called Narrator, which reads text on the screen aloud and describes some events (such as displaying an error message) that happen while you're using the computer.

    Follow the last article in the link disable Narrator.

    I totally understand you 100%. But it is good news that everything passed with flying colors.

    Another thing I can think of because sometimes a computer can completely cut off would be if he may be overheated. Another recommendation would be to remove all plugins and check the inside of the Panel for any heavy dust also check-out events to ensure that they are not blocked. Canned air works well with which clean or you can also use a hair dryer that blows cool air.

    Here are some links that will help you if it is indeed a problem of internal heat.

    Reduce the heat

    Also I do not know what anti-virus software you have, but it wouldn't hurt to run a full scan which can last from 1 hour in all depends on what all you have on your computer.

    From now on, these are the best precautions, I can offer at this point.

    Let me know if it helps

  • My computer turns on once a week automatically during the night. How can I stop this from happening? Thanks Gunter

    Hello
    I bought a used desktop computer. After setting it up again to what I had before I find the computer comes on every Saturday night at the same time. How can I stop this from happening?
    If anyone has an answer for me please give him in singles and not "computer language".
    Thank you
    Gunter

    Your best course of action would be to do a complete new installation of Windows.  Not sure how this computer has been maintained or used.  She could have anything whatsoever thereon against malware of illegal material.

    Although the automatic turn on every Saturday night is probably trivial (for example, some application checking to see if there are updates), it could be malware "phone home" with your personal information (bank accounts, passwords, etc.).

    This TechNet article provided by 'Support' engineer is not likely to be useful for you.  For Windows XP (you posted your question in a Windows XP forum), open scheduled as follows:

    Click Start > click on all programs > point to Accessories > tap System Tools > and then click scheduled tasks.

    Review each of the tasks listed to determine what they are doing.  You can then decide if you want to remove one of them.  You should consider, however, that there may be other mechanisms that cause your computer turn on as you describe.

  • Why my internet accounts automatically get disconnected after that my computer turns off by itself?

    I have a Compaq PC with processor Dual-Core AMD Athlon X 2 5000, and it runs Windows Vista Edition Home Premium... In my view, that is running Service Pack 2. I use the computer to check my e-mail, my YouTube and Facebook accounts (and possibly other accounts spread I connect to).

    I usually use Internet Explore to browse the web. Sometimes my computer turns off by itself due to overheating. But whenever when this happens, when I turn my computer back on and return to the use of the Internet, I've totally frustrated to find that all my accounts were automatically disconnected!

    Even when I check these boxes to keep me connected to these accounts when I turn on the computer again after a successful stop, my accounts still get disconnected!

    It only seems to happen when my computer turns off by itself without stopping... mainly due to overheating. When I turn on the computer again after a successful regular stop, my accounts are automatically saved on once again, due to activate me "Keep me connected" by checking these little boxes. But after a situation when the computer is off all the time (either by himself for a reason, either by me with strength to turn it off when my computer crashes), my accounts do not remain.

    How can I prevent my accounts automatically be disconnected so that whenever I start the computer, after it turns off by itself, my internet accounts turned on? There must be a patch for this embarrassing situation here on the internet.

    Perhaps because an improper shutdown / forced can inpact on different parameters.
