PXI configuration

Hi,
        we need a PXI system. we need to test power amplifiers. the input frequency range is 80MHz- 500MHz and Input  signal level is from -10 to +10 dB(CW). The parameters we are measuring at the output of the amplifier are Harmonic Radiation, Spurious Radiation, and power.  The output power of the amplifier will be upto 50W.
please suggest a PXI system for us.
Regards

  • PXI configuration first time

    Hi everyone 
    I was working with RT target ( PXI) and by mistakes we have removed/deleted some folders which I think includes ethernet as well, now we are unbale to communicate with target? what we can do ? 
    how I set up the device again as everything was preinstalled on device?
    thanks

    Hello EricMgNiBh,
    Do you happen to know which files you delete? Did you delete these files through ftp? One option is to first verify if you can see the device in Measurement and Automation Explorer, format the Real time target, and reinstall the software. If you are completely unable to communicate with the device and have exhausted any networking troubleshooting steps another option would be to create a Real Time Disk Utility USB Drive from your development machine and format the PXI system. This knowledge base walks through how to create the Real-Time Disk Utility and how to format and reinstall Real Time to the system.

  • PXIe acquiring and disk streaming speed

    Good evening,
    I need to acquire and stream to disk the status of N.8 digital lines at 100 MHz clock, idest 100MBytes/sec data rate, in continuously mode (without data loss) for five minutes.
    I've thought to a PXIe configuration with:
    PXIe 6544 High speed DIO,
    PXIe 1071 Chassis,
    PXIe Controller with solid state H.D. option.
    Is that configuration enough?
    Thanks.
    Natalino Roberto

    Hello Roberto,
    According to NI PXIe-6544 specifications, you should be able to achieve typical data streaming rates 400 MB/s for acquisition and 400 MB/s for generation. So, you shouldn't face with any issue from this side.
    Does your application provide an host interface communicating with embedded application? If doing so, you may need to design your application according real time guidelines.
    Let me know if you need help or additional assistance.
    Have a nice day.

  • How to replicate FP bank configuration

    In my application I use 14 (fourteen) FieldPoint banks exactly alike:
    FP-1601+DO-401+DI-301+AI-100+TC-120.
    I would like to configure one bank and then, except for the name and
    IP address, just replicate that configuration onto the other 13.
    How do I do that?
    (I do hope I do not have to manually configure every single chanel for
    avery single bank: we are talking about 420+ channels total!!!)
    Thanks to all who reply.
    Gilberto

    Follow the directions below:
    Assume that you have the following systems:
    System A: System that you will manually configure with the desired settings and item names.
    System B: First system you want the configuration to be copied to.
    System C: 2nd systems you want the configuration to be copied to.
    System n: Last (or nth) system of the identical systems you want the configuration to be copied to.
    Hint: You may want to temporarily label each system with its corresponding letter at this point, and label with the IP address after completing step 2.
    Make sure that the hardware systems are identical (i.e. FP-2000 is not that same as FP-2010, FP-2010 is not the same as cFP-2010, etc), with identical modules connected.
    Configure A, B, C...n's IP address. These will be used later.
    Take system B, C...n offline, so that no more changes are made to them at this time.
    Configure A with the desired settings that you would like to copy to the other systems.
    Make sure that Download item names on Save under Tools>>FieldPoint is checked.
    SAVE the .iak file. This will only save the information for system A. This will also download the item names to system A.
    Take system A offline so that it can be copied (keep B, C...n offline as well).
    Delete A, B, C...n from the Remote System's list and refresh the Remote System tree (press F5). This deletes them from MAX, and from the iak file if you saved it. Do not save the iak file.
    Exit and relaunch MAX. Expand remote systems. Only system A should appear with a yellow warning sign (it is loaded from the iak file). Make sure the Model in the network settings page is FieldPoint RT to make sure that it is a FieldPoint (e.g. not PXI) configuration.
    Right-click on system A and select Change IP Offline.
    Enter the IP address for system B and press OK. The operation will be successful as long as you don't have system B online.
    Put system B online.
    Press F5 to refresh the Remote Systems tree. System B's icon will now change to the blue FP icon.
    Right-click on the Bank item under system B and select Apply configuration to bank. This step will copy the hardware settings to all the I/O modules for bank B.
    Take all systems offline and repeat Steps 8 to 14 for all other banks (C...n).
    Once done with configuring all the systems, put ALL systems online and do the following steps:
    Start with a new iak file
    Refresh remote systems (press F5). All configured systems will show up with gray icon.
    Do Find Devices on Each system
    Save the .iak file (Note: this save will download the Item Names to the respective systems).
    To do the same operation in FieldPoint Explorer:
    Configure A, B, C...n's IP address. Keep ALL systems online.
    Configure A with the desired settings
    Save the .iak file (this should also download the item names to system A)
    Right-click on commRes in FP Explorer and select Copy (enter the number of copies to be made). This step will add that many items in the FP Explorer tree.
    Right click on one of the newly created commRes items in the tree and select Edit this comm Res
    Enter B's IP address and click OK.
    For Each network and I/O module under B
    Right click and select Edit this Device
    Select Channel Configuration and then select OK in the Channel Configuration box
    Select OK in the device config box
    If you want, rename the default commRes to a new name.
    Repeat step 5-8 for all other banks
    Save the .iak file (Note this will also download items names)

  • Synchroniz​e 2 PXI Systems through GPS using PXI 6552

    I want to synchronize two PXI systems separated by a distance of 5kms through GPS.
    PXI 6682 is a timing and synchronization card which can be used to achieve this. I also have a requirement to use PXI 6552 HSDIO in my application. Few channels in PXI 6552 are free. So i want to know if it is possible to achieve GPS Synchronization of the two PXI systems using PXI 6552.
    Regards,
    Sundar Ganesh

    Hi Ryan,
    This is a system configuration which i am doing for a requirement. The requirement is RF Generation in one PXI system and RF Acquisition in another PXI system separated by a distance of 2kms. The applications that will be running at both these PXI systems may be started at different times. So i am thinking of using a PXI card in both the chassis to synchronize them through GPS.
    Regarding this, i have already contacted the local NI FSE and together with him only we have decided to go ahead with PXI 6552 for GPS Synchronization. But i started doubting the usage of 6552 for GPS synchronization when i couldnt see the card in the list of Timing and Synchronization cards.
    I have attached a schematic of the configuration. Let me know which PXI card should be used for synchronising these two systems.

  • Slot Detection of PXI Modules, More details

    I read the knowledge base titled: Slot Detection of PXI Modules but have a few questions about it. How often to I have to do this? When I insert or remove a board from the PXI chassis? When I insert or remove an additional chassis in daisy chain? With Multiple chassis in Daisy chain. How do I know which device number is which card? ie if I have 2 of the same model of cards both in slot 5 but in different chassis. If I remove a card, am I guarranted that other cards device numbers will not change?

    John,
    The Knowledge Base (KB) "Slot Detection of PXI Modules" says that the PXI Initialization File (PXISYS.INI) file must be saved in the systems directory in order for the system to be able to identify the slot where a board is located. This is because every slot in a PCI Bus (a PXI system uses a PCI bus) has a PCI Device Number and PCI Bus Number associated with it. The PXISYS.INI file describes the architecture of the chassis and the controller, and has the appropiate PCI Device Number and PCI Bus Number for every slot. There is a unique PXISYS.INI file for every combination of PXI chassis and PXI controller.
    How often to I have to do this? When I insert or remove a board from the PXI chassis?
    Currently you do not need to edit the PXISYS.INI file. You can download the PXISYS.INI file from our website and use it as it is (see link in the KB you were reading). So you only need to save once the appropiate PXISYS.INI file to the Windows Systems directory, regardless of whether you change the PXI board in your system.
    When I insert or remove an additional chassis in daisy chain? With Multiple chassis in Daisy chain?
    If you are daysi-chaining chassis, keep in mind that the current PXI Standard DOES NOT support daysi-chaining. However, in previous PXI configurations, I have successfully edited a PXISYS.INI file so I can do Slot Identification in daysi-chained chassis (not in star configuration, though). The steps I followed are in the text file attach to this e-mail.
    How do I know which device number is which card? ie if I have 2 of the same model of cards both in slot 5 but in different chassis. If I remove a card, am I guarranted that other cards device numbers will not change?
    Finally, if you are using NI DAQ boards, NI-DAQ driver will assign a Device Number to the boards that correspond to the Slot Number, and the Slot Number is described in the PXISYS.INI file that you edited following the instructions in the text file attached below.
    If your boards do not use the NI-DAQ driver, but support NI-VISA, you can use the PXI VISA Instrument Descriptor to find out the Slot they are installed in. See the KB "Programmatic Slot ID" linked below for more information. It has an Example Program linked to it too:

  • Does VMIC driver support LV RT8.2?

    Hello,
    Using VMIC-5565 instrument driver for LV, I am trying to setup reflective memory VMIC-5565 on LV RT 8.2. My problem is how to setup VMIC-5565 on RT and it is not detected on MAX.
    First, after installed the driver which is provided from GE FANUC, I traced Driver Installation steps on Readme.rtf with below driver VIs components.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E919C659CE034080020E748...
    Second, I rebooted Host PC. Third, based on the below topic, I transferred V65_d_RT.inf or v65_n_RT.inf file into /ni-rt/system/ on PXI RT via FTP and rebooted PXI.
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=205697&query.id=518780#M205697
    However, LEDs on VMIC-5565 did not turn on and the board was not detected on MAX. What is the cause of the problem? What else should I do in next?  Some topics regarding VMIC-5565 on NI web are helpful to me, but if there are any other actions to setup it, please let me know. I hope that I will hear from you sometime soon.

    Hi,
    I'm using VMIC-5565 card with Labview Real Time. At the beginning, ı have also some problems but now it works well. I use real time deskop not a PXI controller, but perpaps i can help.
    First of all, you said "after installed the driver which is provided from GE FANUC"
    You shouldn't install any driver except supplied from NI web page. In your case, you have two driver in your computer; one is provided by GE FANUC and one is gotten from NI webpage,. They are NOT used together. ( most probably your operating system is congused because of the multiple driver)
    So you need to uninstall one (provided by GE FANUC) and try again

  • How Do I Configure the PFI Lines as input in PXI 6713 module

    Hi,
    I have PXI 6713 module in my PXI 1044 chassis. I have configured PXI 6713 module to geneate certain analogue signals to my board.
    Board inturn process this analogue signal and responds back the status signals through a status register on the board. In my application,the status bits in status register of  the board are mapped to the PFI 0:3 bits on PXI 6713 module ( pins 11,10 , 42 and 43).
    My query is how do i configue the PFI lines as input in PXI 6713 module to read these status bits ??
    May be below explanation could give you little bit more information w.r.to my query.
    When i use NI USB - 6008    module to read the same bits , since this device has 12 digital I/O lines, i could able to read the status bits in to the last 4 digital lines by configuring the those digital lines as input.
    In PXI 6713  module i have only 8 digital lines. These 8 digital lines i have used to send the digital signals to the board. I am left with no digital I/O lines. Hence i couldn't use these digital lines. I am left with only one option to use. Theya re PFI lines. Moreover the status bits in the pin out of board are mapped such that the bits can be read through the PFI lines.
    I am wondering do we have any example code to use  inorder to read these status bits on the board using the PFI lines.
    Please let me know if you need additional information to help me out.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello There,
    When using the PFI pin as an input, you can individually configure each PFI for edge or level detection and for polarity selection.  This PFI information can be referenced in the DAQ Analog Output Series Manual on page 6-1 (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370735e.pdf).  Unfortunately, the PXI-6713 PFI lines are only capable of timing input and output signal for AI, AO, or counter/timer functions.  The option of creating static DI from the PFI lines is not available for the PXI-6713. However, some cards have this capability.  Newer National Instruments products with PFI lines have the option of setting PFI lines as:
    Static Digital Input 
    Static Digital Output
    Timing Input Signal for AI, AO, DI, DO, or counter/timer functions 
    Timing Output Signal from AI, AO, DI, DO, or counter/timer functions
    (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/14F20D79C649F8CD86256FBE005C2BC4)
    When set as static DIO, the PFI lines are assigned to a different port (eg. PFI0-7 is Port1).  More details about this can be referenced at:

  • How do you configure multiple PXIe chassis to share Tclk synch with the 6672 timing module?

    Hi,
    I have two PXIe chassis, each with a number of digitizers (configured through NI-SCOPE). Each chassis has a PXIe 6672 timing module. I have downloaded the sample VI from:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5254
    which deals with PXI chassis. My question is this: in the VIs at the above link (and in fact all VIs I've seen for using the 6672 for sharing triggers), the VI needs access to the resource identifiers for both Master and Slave timing modules, how do I access the (remote) slave resource identifier from the master chassis? I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but can I do this using just an ethernet connection, or do I need another module to enable the master chassis to view the devices on the slave chassis in MAX? 
    Thanks for any help you can provide,
    Cillian

    Those example VIs are written to be used when a single host PC is controlling multiple chassis so there is just one computer running the program.  Since both of your chassis have their own controllers it will be necessary to run a program on each (one as master, the other as slave).  You can modify the code from that example to create and Master and Slave VIs.  For the Master you will call the VIs as specified in case 0 of the example; for the Slave you will call the VIs as specified in the default, 1 case of the example.
    You will also want to send a signal from the Master to the Slave to let the Slave know that the clock is being generated.  You could use TCP/IP or a PFI line to do this.  The basic order of events should be as follows:
    1. VI runs on Slave to configure it to accept a clock.
    2. VI runs on Master to begin outputing the clock.
    3. Master sends a signal to Slave to let it know that the clock is being generated.
    4. Continue with the rest of your program.
    Let me know if you have any questions about this.

  • PXI first use, unable to configure/boot safe mode or RT

    Hi all,
    I am new to PXI controllers, i am having a few issues with a PXI controller in my university which i intend to use for my fyp project.
    So we are using a PXI 1042Q chassis with a PXI 8106 embedded controller.
    We started this controller for the first time and updated windows xp, we also removed labview 8.6 that came with it and installed labview 2010 with all the available drivers, softwares and liscenses..
    When we start windows XP on the PXI system we can see the PXI chassis and controller identified in MAX but labview cannot find them when creating a project.. My first question concerns the reason why labview cannot identify PXI targets in a project?, could it be a missing liscence (for instance RT liscence for PXI)? or an improperly installed driver? How to check if RT liscence is missing or needed?
    Due to the first problem, we tried to control the PXI remotelty from another desktop host PC where we found more problems.
    1/ Can we make a connection in order to download a project from the host PC to the PXI via ETHERNET (without MXI cards) ?
    2/ We tried to make the connection using ethernet but we couldnt configure the IP; when we switch to safe mode to configure, the pxi gives the following texts on screen " system error kernel 446610 LFS error not a dos disk pc-dskinit " and the system remains unconfigured with the 0.0.0.0 IP due to the failure to boot, MAX on the host PC sees the PXI as a 0.0.0.0 and changing the IP is not possible also.
    To cure this issue and help the system boot, we created a desktop PC utility USB Drive in MAX (on the host PC), configured the boot devices priority on PXI and booted the PXI from the USB drive.  we entered safe mode and the pxi took an IP automatically and then it displayed that the software is not present... The problem is that when we tried to install the software on the pxi using MAX on the host PC (which now sees the PXI) we got disconnected.. 
    Note that firewall is off, the host pc has an ip in range with the one generated by the pxi, on the same subnet and has windows 7..So why are we loosing the connection in MAX after 30 seconds,, when we try to install the software on the pxi?
    thank you in advance for your help.
    Elias Saleh.

    Dear Elias579,
    Welcome you to the NI Forums!
    There are basically three ways a PXI system can by characterised by the OS:
    Real-Time OS running on the PXI makes it an RT Target, which then can be reached from the network by a host PC for example
    "regular" Windows running on the PXI makes it a simple industrial PC, which has no real-time qualities. In this case you cannot add the controller to your project, since you are actually on the target, and whatever VIs you crate are actually on the platform already!
    Hybrid systems (not all controllers are compatible with this) can run in such a way that one core runs regular Windows and an other runs an RT OS, which can communicate with each other.
    Your problem is either
    1.) You installed a simple windows, in which case you wont add any targets to your project since you are running every VIs on the target. The chassis works exactly like a PCIe bus slot extender, so the cards inside are the ones that matter. For example if you have a programmable FPGA PXI card, and you have LABVIEW REAL-TIME and NI-RIO driver installed, you will be able to add the card within the chassis to your project.
    2.) You are just missing a driver. Since you do not have an RT OS on the PXI, you might need a suitable DAQmx for you cards. 
    Please to help me have more vision of your problem try to describe what cards are you using and what is actually you would like to do.
    For debugging you issue, these documents might help:

    https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-16189
    **EDIT:
    one more thing, if you are using a regular Windows PXI, you should not seek to connect to it as an RT Target. You might try to use Remote Desktop from an another PC though.
    Looking forwards to help you solve your issue,

  • How do you configure multiple PXI 1011 chassis' in MAX?

    I have two PXI 1011 chassis'. The first has the MXI-3 card hooked to a MXI-3 PC card through fiber. The second chassis has an 8176 controller and the 6052e GPIB card. Both chassis have multiple SCXI cards. The problem is the configuration in MAX. MAX 3 picks up the MXI-3 card and chassis with all the SCXI modules, but will not pick up the 8176 chassis. This 8176 is hooked to the PC through a CAT5 ethernet switch.I know there are problems with multiple chassis configuration, but I'm sure I'm just missing something here.

    Hi,
    So it sounds like you have two PXI systems that are not connected or related to each other, is that right? Since your PXI chassis connected via MXI-3 is working fine, we�ll take that out of the equation.
    It sounds like you are trying to configure your PXI-8176 system as a Remote System through an Ethernet connection. Is your PXI-8176 running Windows (if so which version) or Real-Time (RT) operating system?
    If you are running Windows XP on the PXI-8176 and also on your computer you can use XP Remote Desktop to control your PXI-8176 system through Ethernet (see the following link for information on that):
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/C074C33​F4DE3FA5186256D3D007788DA?OpenDocument
    Another option is to use Remote Device Access (RDA) to cont
    rol your SCXI modules and DAQ board (6052E). RDA will only work with Traditional NI-DAQ, it is not supported in NI-DAQmx. I�ve included a couple of links for KB�s that have more information on RDA for you.

    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/5CC9792​C6CD4A34C862565BC0072D5DF?OpenDocument
    If you ordered your controller only with Real-Time on it you can use the following document to configure and troubleshoot your PXI-8176 RT system.

  • Pxi 1042 configuration for Real-Time

    I have purchased
    PXI-1042
    controller 8187
    one module for data capturing.
    I want to configure the said pxi for Real-Time purposes,
    so what steps should I follow?
    thanks
    Abbas
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The Real-Time Deployment License is different from the LabVIEW RT module.
    When you purchase a PXI controller, part of what you are buying is the operating system that is installed on it.  If you purchased the controller with Windows on it then you purchased the copy of Windows that came with it.  Now that you want to put the real-time operating system on it, you need to purchase the license for it.
    But that's all legal stuff.
    And you are correct that there is a copy of the RTOS on the controller.  But if your controller has its disk formatted as NTFS you will not be able to use it.   The RTOS requires that the hard drive be FAT32. 
    If your controller is FAT32 then you can boot into BIOS (hit delete while booting), and select Real-Time in the Boot Configuration to make your controller boot into Real-Time.
    If you controller is not FAT32 then you will need to format the controller first, using the disks I have previously mentioned.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • PXIe 8133 Real Time Configuration Issue with MAX

    I seem to be running to a weird problem in configuring a PXIe 8133 into an RT system. After I change it in bios to boot safe mode, MAX detects the system no problem through remote connection. When I try to change its IP (while the PXIe8133 is in Safe Mode), it does not allow me to do so. Specifically, the text on top of Network Settings Tab mentions that it cannot apply the settings. I also have tried reformating the RT, and uploading software. The format performs OK, but still the same problem with IP and communication. The software upload results in communication timeout.
    I am not running any firewalls, etc. The link is direct cable between the host and the target (PXIe8133). I am running LV2010 RT on the host.
    If I am missing a simple step in getting through this obstacle, please let me know. Any suggestions are apreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Just wondering are you using DHCP or static IP addressing? If you are using static IP, ensure you have all the fields on the 'Network Settings Tab' populated including the Gateway and DNS server. Both fields can be populated with the address 0.0.0.0. Hope this helps.

    But then I noticed that the technical system for the DXI (XI Dev) is configured as follows:
    TMS Domain ("DOMAIN_PXI") and TMS Transport Group Name GROUP_PXI ("GROUP_PXI") have the same values as PXI. Is that correct ?? We are using file transport, not CMS.
    Another strange effect is that when I set the group in business system DXICLNT010 to Dev, that is also applied to business system PXICLNT010 ! Which is of course not what I want.
    I assume I have to associate DXICLNT010 to Dev and PXICLNT010 to Prod, same as for T01CLNT010 / P01CLNT010. Correct ? Or does the group in the XI business systems not matter ?
    Can anyone post an example of a working SLD configuration with two XI system dev and prod ? What values do I have to use in the XI technical and business systems, so that the transport will work ?

    There's obviously something wrong in the SLD configuration for the exchange infrastructure systems. The error you're describing (one system pointing to another) usually occurs when one system is generated through homogeneous system copy of another system (was that your case?). I've seen that behaviour once and they corrected it by manually deleting the exchange infrastructure systems from SLD and creating them again from scratch.
    Anyway, I highly recommend you to get an expert NW Basis consultant to realize a check in it before you proceed any further.
    Aside of that, you're correct in your assumptions.
    Your config in SLD should be like:
    DEV_GROUP:
    - DXI
    - T01
    PRD_GROUP:
    - PXI
    - P01
    It's always 1 XI BS per group.
    Also, if you use separate SLDs for XI Dev and XI Prd, you have to make sure that this configuration is reflected in both SLDs. So, if you make it one SLD instance, you must generate a delta export zip file from the SLD where you did the configuration and import this zip file in the other SLD instance.
    If you use a central SLD, then it's not necessary.

  • IVI Configuration with PXI-4110 in TestStand

    Hello All,
    Set-Up:
    PXI-1033 connected through MXI to a PC running Windows 7. LabVIEW 2014. TestStand 2014 (32-bit). PXI-4110 Power Supply and PXI-4070 DMM.
    In MAX I can open both soft panels and control both units and they work great.  In LabVIEW I can control both cards as well. 
    In MAX I have set up a driver and logical name for my DMM. This unit works great within TestStand using an IVI DMM step.
    I then proceeded to setup the 4110 in MAX with an IVI driver and logical name. Here are my settings:
    Name: ni4410_PS
    Hardware: Added hardware asset and select the PS. This one is checked, no other assets are checked.
    Software Module: NI-DCPower, 4110 is listed as a device that is supported.
    Virtual Names: This is where I am confused, Under physical name there are four options that come up (0, 1, 2, and 3). This power supply only has 3 outputs so I am unsure why four come up. I have made 4 virtual names, one for each of the options. I named them ch0, ch1, ch2, and ch3 respectively.
    When I put an IVI Power Supply step in TestStand everything seems to be working. I open the configuration window and set my values for each channel. If I try to validate the setup by unchecking simulate and click on init I do not get an error.  As soon as I clic on 'Configure' or 'Show Soft Front Panel' I get the following error:
    "The IVI Configure operation failed for lgical name 'NI PS 1'. Details: Extention capability not supported by instrument driver. (Base) (-30717)"
    Any information would be appreciated.  I tried playing with it for a couple hours yesterday and had a couple co workers try to help.  We are all under the assumption that this should be working.  
    Thank You!!

    Hi jesserzamora,
    Have you seen this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/331F2717DBCD1F858625758200745773?OpenDocument
    It discusses a similar failure with the IVI Power Supply step in TestStand.
