Synchronization of PCI devieces via the RTSI bus using the measurement studio for Viusual Basic 6
Hi everyone,
I would like to synchronize a NI 4474 A/D card with a NI 6733 D/A card via the RTSI bus. Is there any way of sharing the timebase using the measurement studio for VB 6.0? It seems like it could be possible using the traditional NI-DAQ .DLL but I would prefer to do it with the ActiveX API.
I am quite desperate, since all my attempts to use the CWDAQTools1.RouteSignal and CWDAQTools1.RouteRTSI command failed miserably :-(
Thank you very much in advance!
Federico
Thank you very much indeed!
Unfortunately it doesn't really work... I cannot use the DI options since my A/D card (NI 4474) does not support DI/DO... When using the other option (CWDAQTools1.RouteRTSI) I keep getting an error message that this command is inapropriate for my device (even though it does have a RTSI bus and allegedly it also supports time sharing...)
Looking forward to your answer!
Kind regards
Federico

When does a clock signal appear on a RTSI bus using DAQmx for a PCI NI-4472 DSA?
Hello,
I am trying to synchronize several PCI NI-4472 DSA boards over a RTSI cable using MATLAB. I have read that with DAQmx it is not necessary to use DAQmxExportSignal to put the clock signal on a RTSI line provided that the RTSI cable is registered in MAX and that the DSA cards are listed as being connected to the RTSI device. Apparently, the DAQmx drivers are supposed to route the clock signal between the cards as required….
So I have done the above and see in MAX, in the device routes tab for Dev1, that
/Dev1/ai/SampleClock uses RTSI6
/Dev1/ai/SampleClockTimebase uses RTSI8
Right now I am monitoring the RTSI lines on an oscilloscope in the hopes of detecting a clock signal on one of the three boards in the system while one board (the eventual master) is acquiring data using the Test Panels in MAX. I am getting nothing on the ‘scope (may be monitoring the wrong line – have just posted a request for RTSI pinouts for this DSA) and am wondering under what circumstances is the clock present on the RTSI bus.
My real problem is that MATLAB R14SP3 does not yet support a master card in a synchronization application but, oddly enough, seems to allow one to setup slave cards. I would like to continue using the MATLAB data acquisition toolbox to manage the DSA cards and the application and would rather avoid using calls the DAQmx dll library. (It's not clear how to integrate the functionality of the data acquisition toolbox with direct calls to the DAQmx library.) So I am looking for a workaround to get the clock signal on the RTSI bus so that I may try out the slaves.
Thanks,

Both ports of a two port CAN board are handled by one processor and they use the same memory for alocating the necessary queues.
But, both ports if connected to different CAN buses have their own handle, own queues and error handling. That means if one Bus enters to BUS OFF, the second bus can still communicate. And you can stop and restart communication independently on both ports. Even the ncaction reset works on a single port at a time.

How can I output a digital value (0 or 1) directly with a VI on the RTSI-bus?
The Device is a PCI-MIO-16XE10.
Thanks.The RTSI bus is designed for sharing timing and control signals between boards. By timing and control we mean clock signals, digital triggers, etc. RTSI is not meant to pass I/O signals, even digital I/O signals. Thus, it is not possible to connect one of the digital I/O lines on your board to a RTSI line. A way to accomplish what you would like to do might be to toggle GPCTR0's Output and connect that signal to the RTSI bus. You would do this by configuring the counter to perform event counting and counting down from a specified number of pulses on the source pin and configuring the counter's output to toggle on terminal count. You could also configure the counter to perform pulse train generation or single pulse generation. To connect the output to the RTSI bus, yo
u will need to call the Route Signal VI from the DAQ Calibration & Configuration Function Pallette with Signal Name set to RTSIn and Signal Source set to GPCTR0 Output.

Is the RTSI bus cable interface a direct 1 to 1 pin connection?
I am using a straight ribbon cable to connect the RTSI bus between two boards (AT-MIO-16E-1 and PCI-6602), but I am not able to receive the signal on the PCI board. (I am using RTSI0 as a gate for the counters on PCI-6602).
yes,
for my understanding the RTSI bus is only as bus with a 1-1 connection usefull, also i build this cable in the past by myself (and it worked).
Have You checked the description of both cards, there might be a difference in using of RTSI and what is needed as source for gate?
good luck

When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

Register level programing of the 6601 counter to connect signals to the rtsi bus
I have need for more than 4 clocks and have several 6601 counter boards. I would like to use an additional board for the extra clock but need to send signals to the this board from the other. The most efficent way seems to be to use the rtsi bus to connect the 2 boards together. I am programing the counter boards at the register level using a kernel module in linux. The register level porgramming manual explains how to connect different signals to the sourse pins of the clocks including the rtsi signals. I have been successful in doing this but can not find info on how to route the output signal of one clock to the input of another using the rtsi bus. Using web search I have seen ways to do this using labview and dqmx calls but nothing for programin at the register level. Thanks for any help on this problem.

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

I used to be able to skip a cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys
I placing a number or text in a cell i used to be able to skip the cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys. I can't now? Using the RETURN key only goes down a cell. I want to go right? Why?
Hi Mark,
In Numbers 3, an arrow key moves the cursor one cell up, down, left or right.
Tab moves one cell right. Shift tab moves one cell left.
The command key and an arrow key will take the cursor to top, bottom, left or right of a table.
via the arrow keys (next to the letterM and question mark?).
I am puzzled by this. Between the letter M and ? I have < above comma (,) and > above full stop (.)
Shift command < zooms out and shift command > zooms in.

I need MS office for Chinese online banking.The Apple website says the Air can use the latest MS Office if it has a 32bit processor, but the tech specs dont say which Airs have a 32bit processor. Where can I find out?

Where is the link that says you need a 32 bit processor? On my MBA, in the past I've ran both Office for Mac and Windows 7 (MS Office) via Parallels (Bootcamp does the same thing). I chose installing Windows 7 in the 32 bit mode ONLY because I have a couple of other legacy Windows programs that only run in 32 bit mode. -
Attempting to connect my MacBook to my 4s iPhone. I have had them connected in the past to use the "hands off" function. Today it tells me "network unavailable" make sure network access is enabled. I don't know what to do. I love the hands off feature as my iPhone is never with me when on my mac! I'm not sure what to do. Both are "discoverable" via bluetooth and show up on each device but when I try to connect it says "network unavailable". HELP!
An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458 -
I was in the middle of installing the new update using the wifi at a local restaurant when I lost the wifi signal and my iPhone shut down, and now I can't get into the phone. I only get the iTunes logo with the cable pic. What are my options now?
Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.

Another device on the network is using the same IP address
While this question has been asked within the community, I cannot find an answer that solves my problem. This happened about a year ago and was thought to be a modem/router issue. I switched to Airport and all had been fine until a few weeks ago. Now I periodically can't get online from my laptops.
Settings for my macbook at System Preferences ▹ Network ▹ Advanced ▹ TCP/IP are:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.84
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.254
Configure IPv6: Off
We did recently get a new ipad and new wireless printer so one of them may be the issue
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!If you are having IP addresses assigned using DHCP and one of the devices is disconnected from the network for a long enough period of time then the router will make that IP address available to another device to use. If the first device then comes back on the network with the same IP address it had before then you'll get the dual IP address situation. This usually doesn't happen since the returning device is SUPPOSED to ask for a new IP address when it re-joins the network. In your case this may not be happening.
What I do is use static IP addresses for all the devices on my home network. In your case I think this will fix your problem.
Set up your Airport to 'reserve' specific IP addresses for the devices in your local network via their MAC addresses.
Open the airport utility, select your router, click EDIT, select NETWORK.
In the area marked DHCP Reservations: click on the + sign
Type a description of the device.
Use the pull-down menu to select "Reserve Address By: MAC address"
enter the MAC address in the appropriate line.
enter in the unique IP address for each device that you want to reserve. Make sure its in the same subnet (ie. 192.168.xx.yy)
click SAVE
Repeat the above for all your devices.
Update your airport settings.
When you're done turn off all the wireless devices for 5 minutes and then reconnect. Each should then reconnect with the same IP address each time. You can still leave the devices themselves set to use DHCP so that when you take them outsider your network, they'll request an IP address from the new network.
I hope this made sense. If not, post back and I'll calrify anything you need. -
I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!
If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.
