PXI 8105 with Windows7

Is PXI 8105 compatible with Windows 7? And also what will be the cause of hardware malfunction? Mine kept telling me hardware malfunction? It keep shutting down by itself.

Hello Jesusisjenny,
Hope you're having a great week. When you install your own Operating System on one of our controllers, you also have to install the Peripherial Device Drivers. These are the drivers that support the chipset of that particular controller and are needed to recognize your peripherial devices such as USB and PXI cards. We have a compatibility chart that lists which OS's are compatible with our controllers, but the 8105 only lists Windows XP and Vista:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E4503CC7E8BB41BA86256F7F006CBE8D
So it doesn't look like we officially support Windows 7 for this controller. Your best option would be to move to a newer PXI controller such as the PXI-8101:

or the PXI-8820:
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/211700
If these are beyond your budget and you are feeling ambitious, another option would be to install Windows 7 on you 8105 then try to use the Vista Peripherial Device Drivers for the 8105. It may turn out that the drivers developed for Windows Vista work under 7, but NI doesn't guarantee the functionality and we wouldn't be able to offer you support for this configuration. Another consideration is that the PXI-8105 is an older controller that may not have the best performance under Windows 7, especially with the standard 0.5 GB of RAM it came with. Even if you get Windows 7 installed, the performance may be too slow to be acceptable.

Swapping hard drives between PXI-8115 and PXI-8105 won't boot up

I have a test system running Windows XP on PXI-8105. I've upgraded the entire test system for another project and need to upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade runs on Windows 7 and PXI-8115. I have new hard drives with Windows 7 and the new test software which were loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to retrofit the PXI-8105 with them. This doesn't work. Windows begins to boot but fails and tries over and over again. In an effort to take the PXI-8105 off-line to troubleshoot, I replaced it with one of the PXI-8115 and the old (WinXP) drive. This didn't boot up, either.
Here's a summary of my situation:
An old system has PXI-8105 running WinXP
A new system has PXI -8115 running Win7
A hard drive (with Win7) from the PXI-8115 won't boot on the PXI-8105
A hard drive (with WinXP) from the PXI-8105 won't boot on the PXI-8115
What is different between the two PXI controllers that keeps me from swapping hard drives?

A couple thoughts:
1. Windows 7 probably works fine on a PXI-8105. Although NI never officially supported or shipped that configuration, I suspect that the default Windows 7 installation contains enough of the driver support needed to boot up.
2. In general, Windows is not very tolerant of swapping hard drives between completely different systems, especially with Windows XP and prior. Consider whether just installing fresh and copying over what you need is faster than trying to do this, but if you must, I would suspect that Windows 7 would be more tolerant of the swap.
3. As a debugging step, try pressing 'F8' during the boot process to launch the Windows boot menu and try safe mode or some of the other options. More information here.
4. If all else fails, Google is your friend here as there's nothing particularly specific about this being an NI product that you need to know when attempting this operation. Any information you find online about swapping hard drives between PCs should be relevant to your situation. Searching for 'swap hard drive to new computer windows 7' gave some useful hits on the first page. Beyond that, you can also look into using the 'sysprep' utility to try and clean the system and prepare for swapping to a new PC.

Memory upgrade on PXI-8105 and PXI-8106 controllers

Hi,
I've recently upgraded the memory of three PXIs; one with a PXI-8105 controller and two with PXI-8106 controllers. Both the 8105 and 8105 can take a maximum of 4GB (2x2GB) of DDR2-677 (PC2-5300) memory (see links below). However, on all three systems, both the BIOS and the O/S only see 3.3GB. Any idea why this might be the case?
I've tried flashing the BIOS (v1.4 on both PXIs), but with no success.
We're using COTS memory (i.e. not bought from NI) but I'd be hard pushed to believe that that is the cause of the problem.
Thanks.

Are these controllers running Windows? If so, this is normal expected behavior. I think it might have something to do with the fact that Windows reserves the rest of the memory for driver addressing (could be totally wrong there). The same thing happens on my Dell desktop PC with 4GB of memory in it.

Problem with Windows7 and Adobe Flash freezing computer?

Hello All, There is a problem with Windows7 and my Adobe Flash causing my computer to freeze. So, Skype, videos, etc will not work. Have tried many things to solve problem. Can Oracle VM be used to run a different operating system...such as XP or Vista where Flash will work properly? I would hate to have a new operating system installed on a new computer. thanks

If you mean Oracle VM VirtualBox, then yes, definitely. A free download, it installs and runs great on Windows 7. http://www.virtualbox.org/

Much the same way as you originally did. Download it and use your serial number to activate it.

How can I use the NI PXI-6508 with Lab View 7? what are the first steps to get started??How can I use the channels with lab view 7????

I have a 8 slot PXI system with 2 NI PXI 6508 and 1 DMM 4070 in it. I want to get started with programming the digital I/O cards (6508)! How can I use this cards with LabView 7?what is the best way to get started, or where can I get examples showing how to use the several channels?
Thanks!
Philipp

Philipp,
The best way to get started is to decide if you want to use traditional NI-DAQ or NI-DAQmx. Recently we released NI-DAQ 7.1 which provides NI-DAQmx support for the PXI-6508. In my opinion, NI-DAQmx is more efficient and much easier to use.
To get started with examples, simply launch LabVIEW and go to Help>>Find Examples. Then expand Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx and select the appropriate digital group for your application. This should help get you started.
Please repost if you need addition assistance. Good luck with your application!

Can i use PXIe-1073 with an embedded PXIe controller PXIe-8108

I have a PXI express chassis PXIe-1073 with an integrated controller MXI-Express controller PCIe-8361. I now want to use the chassis as a standalone system with an embedded controller.
(a)Can i use PXIe-1073 chassis with PXIe-8108 embedded controller
(b)Can i use a windows based laptop to control the PXIe-1073 via the PCIe-8361 integrated controller.

Hello kanad,
The PXIe-1073 is a MXI-integrate chassis. This means that the MXI card that would normally go into the controller slot (slot 1) is built into the chassis. The PCIe-8361 or Expresscard8360 are placed into the desktop or laptop, respectively, and connect to the chassis. The cards in the PXIe-1073 then appear as if they are part of the desktop of laptop.
Since the controller is built into the chassis, the PXIe-1073 does not have a slot 1. Controllers, such as the 8108 can only be plugged into slot 1. Therefore, the PXIe-1073 can only be controlled by the desktop or laptop MXI link. It cannot run standalone with an embedded controller.
Consider reading page 1-3 and 1-6 in the manual below:

How to synchronize the system time/date of a PXI controller with a GPS or time server?

Using a PXI system with a NI-PXI 8196 controller and LabVIEW RTOS, I am searching for a solution to set or reset the on board timeclock of the controller trough a external signal like a GPS or a time server (ntp).
Do an easy way exist to do this?
Any response will be greatly appreciated.

Trouble with Windows7 and Gigabit link on Cisco 3560X switch

Hello,
In my company, we are using Cisco IP Phones 7945G (with 2 gigabit network ports) and Cisco 3560X-48P (1GB ports) switches for our users.
Our client computers are running on Windows 7 SP1 (64bit - Enterprise edition) and are connected behind the IP Phone. We use a "Boradcom
Xtreme Gigabit" onboard network card on the computers. All ports (on the switch site and IP Phone side) and on the network card of the computer are configured in "auto negotiation". Duplex and speed are set to "auto".
We tried now to deploy a new engineering software and we are facing a very strange problem. This means that the engineer software fails to download some files from the server. We are using a flat network, all the servers and computers are on the same network segment with no firewall inbetween.
The firewall and Anti-virus on the computers are configured to allow all incoming/outing connections.
To troubleshoot, I tried to change all the network cables but I still get same result --> download fails.
I connected the client computer directly to the Cisco 3560X switch, without the IP Phone and I get the same result.
I installed a separate network card from INTEL (Intel PRO1000 PT) but I get the same result.
As last test, I have connected to same client computer directly to a Cisco 2960-8TC switch (100Mbit; auto negotiate) and here is working fine. The software successfully downloads all the files from the server.
If I connect the computer behind the Cisco 7945 IP Phone, set the speed and duplex of the PC-Port on the Cisco IP Phone 7945G to "100MBit/full duplex" is also working fine.
Is there any know issue with Windows7 and Gigabit network connections?
Do I need to set any Registry key on my Windows 7?
The firmware version of my Cisco 3560X-48P switch is 12.2(53)SE2; do I need to update it?
The firmware version of the IP Phone 7945G is 9.2.1.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
Marc Hoffmann

Hello, Thanks for your answers. First of all, I have updated the firmware of my Cisco Catalyst 3560X-48P switch to the version 12.2(55)SE5. Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. As second step, I ran an TDR test on my 3560X switch but I do not get any result. The "Pair status" always says "not completed". Even if I wait for 5 minutes, the status remains at "Not completed". Am I doing something wrong ? To do the TDR test, I use the commande "test cable-diagnostics tdr interface gigabitEthernet 0/XY". For your information, the port gigabitEthernet 0/XY is in a "Connected" status when I run the "show int status" command. Jeff, I think there is no issue on the server side, because if I connect my workstation on a 100MB switch (example Cisco Catalyst 2960-8TC-L) the application works absolutely fine. Also, if I run the application locally on the server, it works fine. As next step, I will connect the workstation directly on our backbone switch and try the same test. Is there perhaps any Registry key in our Windows7 which could cause this trouble? If you have any other ideas or options, please let me know. Thanks a lot, Marc Hoffmann

Fetch and peak detection all channels of PXI-5105 with 4M record... HELP!

Dear collegaues!
Please help me to improve performance my application, see attachment, and sorry for my English.
So, my task is to fetch and peak detection all (eight) channels of PXI-5105 with 4M record and sample rate 4M with loop 1 sec...
Inputs of all my channels are wiring to NaI detectors with 0,5...1 microsec of pulse width (really) and freq from 0 kHz to no more than 40 kHz.
Why I've selected 4M record and 4M sample rate namely? Answer is that I've tested PXI-5105 previously by generator 40 kHz and 0,5 microsec width pulse. It is working fine and peak detection indicate for me 40000 pulses/sec. If I set lower than 4M record and 4M sample rate it is no working. In my honest opinion 4M record and 4M sample rate are very min settings.
In the present time peak detection working only 6 channels... When I've connected to diagram more than 6 "peak detector.vi" - I see the error "...out of memory...".
Please advise me, what is to be done for that is all working fine.
Solved!

What you are running into is an out of memory error in LabVIEW. You have enough onboard memory to capture 4M samples per channel on the digitizer. The issue is with fetching and manipulating that data in your LabVIEW application. You will want to step back and take a look at how you are handling your data to understand why that is happening.
1) 4M samples/ch = 4M Samples x 2Bytes/sample/ch = 8M Bytes/ch
2) Expanding to 8 channels creates 64M Bytes of data in the raw binary format
3) You are scaling your data by fetching in a 1D WDT format. This stores each sample in a 32 bit double, expanding the memory to 256M Bytes (in addition to timing information)
4) By splitting up the array of waveforms and branching data it you can easily create copies of this data, and if your consumer loop is not completed with the last data, you may be trying to capture a whole new set, creating yet another copy.
So you can see that while you have 1.5GB of controller memory, when dealing with large arrays of data you can easily eat up that memory. There are several things you can try to make your application more efficient. You could work with an unscaled binary data format, you can wire the array of waveform directly to the peak detect vi (instead of creating 8 copies, you will have a single copy with arrays of output) or you could revisit the record size you have chosen (experimenting with your threshold and width settings might help you to get the results you want with smaller record lengths).

Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.
