A problem testing input channels on 6527 card, they won't turn on via studio

Hi.
I have installed the card correctly (it passes the test) and wrote an application catching events in case of output/input changes.
I wanted to test the application via the measurment studio, but I can not turn the input channels on, i.e. nothing happens when I press the "Make input button". The output channels testing works great.
Thanks 4 your time.

Hello;
You can do two tests at this point to make sure the digital lines are working properly. The first one is to run Test Panel in MAX, go to the digital tab, configure the same digital line you are having problems on Measurement Studio, and see if that works fine in MAX. If it doesn't the board is probably defected.
If that works out fine, you can now run one of the shipping examples that shows how to do digital lines, for Measurement Studio. You can find those examples at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\examples\Visual Basic. If that works out fine too, the problem is most likely on your Software.
Hope this helps.

  • Problems with SD (or other) Memory card.  Won't work in reader

    I bought a Sandisk Ultra II SD card (2GB) and it wouldn't work in my Lacie reader.
    When I plugged it in, I got the device not recognized message, asking if I wanted to initialize or eject. Initializing with Disk Utility did NOT work.
    The reader works fine with 512MB and 1GB sd cards.
    So, I went to a friend who has the latest Lacie reader (and an intel iMac) and it worked great over there. I borrowed the reader and it works great on my PM G5.
    Conclusion: With the new fast and/or large capacity cards, you may need to upgrade your reader. If possible go to an apple store and see if your memory card works in a reader there, just to be sure, before purchasing!
    Good Luck

    Try initializing the card in the camera in which it will be used. This often gives more consistent results, and is recommended over letting the Mac format the card.

  • How to set audio hardware input channels for narration & to what?

    Searched forum - hope I didn't miss solution for the following:
    Using PE3 in Windows XPSP3
    Tried for the first time to add narration to a project. Was using a stereo/microphone headset. Got nothing but noise. Could record in Windows recorder and Audacity. However, the microphone as part of the set would not work in Windows Audio Hardware Test Wizard. The set was using a sound chip on the motherboard.
    A friend of mine has the same OS, motherboard and is using PE3. He too had never tried adding narration - but tried with a USP connected set, and was successful.
    I removed my stereo set, and connected a USB set. To make sure all settings were reset, I did a cold reboot. The USB set worked in Windows Audio Test Wizard. I opened my project again, and in Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware, clicked AIIO Settings. Unchecked the old set (Realtek) in both the Output and Input Ports area, checked the USB Audio Device, moved to the top of both lists.
    Then tried to add narration and got the error message "Your current audio hardware selection does not have any input channels. Please use Preferences>Audio Hardware to correct this problem.
    Thinking that maybe this was a preset for the project and couldn't be changed, I started a new project, no video, just tried to add narration, and got the same message.
    The entries in the columns in the ASIO Direct Sound for Full Duplex Setup menu for the USB Audio Device in the Input section are: 2048, 0, 1, 16, Yes
    The only one of these that seems to be able to be adjusted is the second number - the Offset (Samples). The Audio Channels number is set to 1 and doesn't seem to be changeable. Suggestions?

    When working with Audio in most NLE's, i.e. Premiere Elements, or Pro, there are basically three areas that can affect how the Audio is handled on one's system. First, there is the Sound settings in Windows (from Control Panel). Next, the Audio card/chip probably/possibly has a console to make settings at the card/chip level. Last, and these are really two locations, but I'm only counting them as one since they are both in the NLE - Edit>Preferences>Audio & Audio Hardware. This is where Steve is referring to. Check all settings, and I'd suggest doing so in the order that I listed them above: OS, Audio card, then Premiere. A Mute, or by-pass in the first two, can override the settings in Premiere, and you may have its setting correct, but still not be able to effectively use your hardware.
    The exact settings chosen will depend on the exact hardware that is properly installed. Without knowing all of your hardware and other settings elsewhere, one cannot give you a definitive answer. Ideally, in the settings drop-downs, you *should* see your hardware listed. Look closely, as these can be a bit cryptic.
    If you are still unable to get your hardware working properly, a fourth place to look would be Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager for your Audio hardware. Check that Device Manager sees your hardware, and that it is working properly.
    If all is set up properly, but still not working, report back with exact specs on your system, including all of your Audio hardware. There are possibly some more steps that can be taken. I will not mention them now, as they *should not* be needed. If you do need further assistance, please list every option in all of the drop-down lists from Premiere, so we can know what your choices are.
    Good luck,

  • Resistor choose in PCI-6527 card

    I think I need more help for PCI-6527 card.
    Problem 1: In PCI-6527 user manual,page 3-11, last paragraph about the source current. The instrument require digital I/O card can source current 7mA (better10mA) on each pin for activating switch. The switch is TTL(0-1V/3.5-5V)(Which is all information the instrument provided). If I choose the resistor 5K which is recommended in the manual, the source current will be very small(0.3mA) and can not achieved the current for activating switch(10mA). Is my understanding correct or not? If not, how should I choose right resistor value for my current application?
    Problem 2 : for current application, I can use the 5V source board since total current on all channels below 1A. Also I can use gro
    und line of board to connect to DIG- pin for reference line.Is it right?
    Problem 3: Three pins of instrument cable(25 pin sub-D cable) are required to connect to ground line, could I connect these three pins directly to ground line on board or I have to use additional ground lines.
    Thanks
    zhou

    Zhou,
    Answer 1: The formulas for choosing your resistor are there in page 3-11 and 3-12. Your instrument switch is going to be connected to VOUT (DIG+ and DIG-), you have to check your instrument to see if it requires only the 10 mA current for activating or if it requires 5V or if it requires both. In case it requires only 10mA if you perform the formula V=RI, you are going to find that you need a total resistance of 500 ohms, your board already has a 35ohm resistance so you need to connect a 465 ohm resistance in serial but not as RL, in that case RL is just jumper wire (0 ohm) your 465 resistance is in serial connection with the 35R and all of them make VOUT. Just take a note that your switch may be acting as a relay and it may have a coil on it which adds mo
    re resistance, so measure the resistance also of your switch and the sum of 35R + your switch coil resistance + your configurable resistance = 500 ohms, this is in case you need 5V and 10mA in the input of your switch. Check this out because switches may need only to be applied a certain current or a certain voltage but not usually both.
    Answer 2: If you are using the 5V source of the board for DIG+ you have to use the ground reference of the board also for DIG-... if you are using an external 5V source, then you need DIG- to connect to the external ground.
    Answer 3: We don't know what are this three pins for. Your switch must have a + and - inputs, in which you directly connect DIG+ and DIG-, are these GND pins this - inputs ?... if so then yes. If not, then you should what are this GND pins for in your instrument, if they have other functionality most probably you don't have to connect to the board ground, because you are not getting any source from the board, you are only act
    ivating the switches, but I cannot guarantee this because I don't know your instrument.
    Hope this is helpful for you Zhou, good luck!...

  • Measurement output keeps drifting, even when the input channel are shorted out.

    Dear Technical Engineer,
    Greetings!
    Currently, we are conducting a voltage measuring experiment with your DAQ card "NI PCIe-6353". The voltage we are concerning is a slow variable ranging from 0-20mV.
    However, we met some problems operating your device.
    1.When the input channel is vacant (no connection to any voltage output), the measurement curve displayed in the test panel (built in your driver) keeps drifting (from some point to -10V, then slowly upwards to +10V, then downwards...), but not stays at 0V.
    2.The moment we connect the input channel to a DC stabilized power supply (2V), the measurement curve displays a quick step, but not step to 2V. Then, it continues to drift downwards.
    3.When we short out the input channel (for example, connect “33 A1” with “32 A1 GND”), the measurement output still keeps drifting, but not displays 0. 
    Thus, we wonder if some settings should be regulated, or if there is something wrong with our operations, or there is an additional grounding option that we missed, or the device just breaks down. Could you please give us your valuable suggestions?
    If you need any more informations, please do not hesitate to contact us (email:[email protected]). Thanks for your time and attention! We are looking forward to your kind reply.
    Best,
    Xianke

    Hi Xianke,
    It sounds like you may have your measurement configured in differential mode. If so, then you should read 0V when you short pin 66 AI1- to pin 33 AI1. Do you see this same behavior on other channels?
    It looks like the default input configuration is differential, so you can also leave your wiring as it is, and change to RSE.

  • Line connection between PCI-6527 card and instrument

    Sorry for my foolish. My poor electronic knowledge prevent me from fully understanding what you explained in your last reply and need more help.
    In fact, we plan to control two instrument switchs, one is for the Magnetic_Suspension_Control(MSC) , another is for control the Weight-changing-Device(WCD).
    The instrument manufacturer provide a cable for the MSC and WCD. The cable looks as follows: there is one connection to the computer(25-pin subD-plug) of which two cables lead away, one to the MSC(6-pin Lemosa)and the other to the WCD(15-pin subD-plug).
    The interface of the MSC is internally realized by using only two simple optocouples(OC). Their input-pins are connected directly to the 25-pin SubD-plug of
    cable as follwing:
    25-pol.SubD; meaning
    Pin 9 anode of OC1-LED
    Pin 7 anode of OC2-LED
    Pin 23 cathode of OC-LED
    Pin 18 cathode of OC-LED
    Because of the optocouplers draw some current from the NI-card, the manufacturer let me make sure that the NI-card can source circa 7mA(better 10mA) on each pin.
    The interface of the WCD consists of three simple TTL-level inputs, which are also directly connected to the 25-pin SubD-plug of our cable as following:
    25-pol.SubD; meaning
    Pin 4 TTL-Input (remote) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
    Pin 3 TTL-Input (weight 1) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
    Pin 2 TTL-Input (weight 2)(0-1V/3.5-5V)
    Pin 5 common ground
    The current drawn by the TTL-inputs is not worth mentioning.
    By controling the logic state of these above pin states through labview, I then can control the instrument switch.
    Based on above information, how should I choose right resistor for achieving the suitable v
    oltage and current on each pin and How should I connect line between PCI-6527 card and 25-pin sub-D plug(I plan to use port 3 of PCI-6527 card).
    Thanks, your help is greatly appreciately
    zhou

    Zhou,
    My best recommendation is that you find someone who can give you a better and more direct advise in electronic circuiting. We don't have in our hands the manual of your instrument in order to clarify what it needs and where, although you gave some pin numbers we cannot take the risk of advising something that we don't have the absolute knowledge of. We can give you all the details you want about our card and what does it gives, but you have to decide how are you going to connect it to your instrument. If you recall your email about the manual, in fig. 3-6 page 3-12 you can see a picture of how to connect a TTL driven device, in the last email we gave you an option of how to connect the resistor and where, please read it again, basically I am going to repeat the same, we feel sorry about not been able to give you more help, but is opt to you to find help in electronic theory. Remember in my last email that I told you the 3 cases in which your instrument may need either voltage, current or both, and I told you how RL will change and what new resistors you may need to connect. Review that and make tests with your switch, your question about how to choose the right resistor is answered in the previous email and how to connect lines between the board and the cable of your instrument you have both pin outs... match them... the person who has in his hands the manual and the instrument is the best person to choose how to interfase both appliances... we are sorry Zhou but if we advise you about pin connections of your device with our blindness we have of your device we may make a mistake, we told you about our pins and how to choose resistors.
    If you need more direct assistance on this Zhou you may better try to call us, by text messaging is limited and this requires direct guidance. If you decide to call us you can find instructions at www.ni.com/ask hope you move forward in your application as soon as possible.

  • LE doesn't receive additional input channels

    I'm trying to add four more input channels to my recording system and Logic Express is not registering any signal.
    My main unit is a MOTU 896HD and has been working very well for the past year. I recently added a Presonus Digimax 96K and connected it via the ADAT Lightpipe.
    Using the MOTU Cuemix console, all inputs are functioning and operating well. I've tested the unit and have gotten output from all available channels (8 from the MOTU, 8 from the Digimax). The problem is that Logic is not showing any signal from input channels 9 - 12 (I know that Logic Express is limited to receiving 12 simultaneous input channels).
    I assume that LE will simply add the first four channels of the Digimax to the list of available input channels for a total of 12 channels.
    The drop-down menu in the I/O selector show 12 inputs and I can select one of those tracks, but no signal is received.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    So here's what I found out, on my own, by digging under the hood:
    The Mac uses the "Aggregate Device" through the Audio MIDI Setup utility. When I checked it out (last night, for the first time) it showed the MOTU 896HD with 20 inputs and 22 outputs. The Mac OS had already recognized the increase of channels introduced by the DigiMax. So then I knew my problem was within Logic (what a lousy name for such a confusing program).
    A friend of mine, who records with MOTU Digital Performer, suggested that my problem was a "routing loop." So I looked for proof that channels 9-12 in Logic were not actual recording channels. This proved to be the case once I understood how to read the device info in the Audio MIDI Setup utility. It turns out that tracks 9 & 10 are for AES/EBU and tracks 11 & 12 are for "Mix1". There was my faulty routing loop. Tracks 11 & 12 were the ones that gave me squealing problems.
    Tracks 13 - 20 were correctly labeled "ADAT" in the Audio MIDI utility.
    So, I went back to AudioDesk (free with the MOTU 896HD), where I have been having great success in setting up my live recording channels (i.e., no feedback, good signals on all channels). When I create a new track in AudioDesk, it's simple to select the correct input channel. In other words, input 9, 10, 11, & 12 were actual input channels, not an AES/EBU signal or a "Mix1" signal. It was in the program's "Audio Monitor" panel that I saw that input signals for tracks 9-12 were actually from hardware channels 13-16.
    I went to bed and considered my problem solved.
    The bummer from this lesson is that Logic Express accepts only 12 inputs. To access any inputs (hardware channels) above #12 I must either upgrade to Logic Pro or switch to a new recording software. I've spent about $200 on Garageband plug-ins for MIDI instruments and feel just a little peeved that I'm in this predicament. 8^P
    At this point, I'm not a fan of Logic. The product name should be "Sucka!", with the tag line "You upgraded from GarageBand and expected a similar interface, workflow and ease of use. Ha!"
    I hope my little lesson helps someone else in the future.

  • I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

    I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
    After five days of testing in the service they can not  found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
    New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
    Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

    You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card.  But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
    What program are you trying to run?  Is there anything in the system log? 
    I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

  • Error in JMS Input channels

    Dear all,
    We have observed a peculiar issue.
    Some of the JMS Input channels are throwing this error:-
    "Error establishing JMS connection; error message: MQJMS2005: failed to create MQQueueManager for <IP>:<QM Manager>> MQJE001: An MQException occurred: Completion Code 2, Reason 2009
    MQJE016: MQ queue manager closed channel immediately during connect
    Closure reason = 2009; error code: MQJMS2005"
    Other JMS channels with the same configurations are working fine. But some JMS channels have this error.
    If any one has faced a similar issue, kindly share the steps to resolve the same.
    Thanks in advance,
    Younus

    Please ask the MQ Team to restart the MQ queue.I mean to stop and start again.
    We faced similar kind of issues and we even tried to restarting the JMS communication channel and MQ Queue.This solved our problem.
    As only one JMS channel is not working,there might be connectivity issues with JMS Queues..
    Try to restart the JMS Queue and JMS communication channel and see.

  • Mismatched input channels

    Hi,
    I have problem with Formula module. Mismatched input chanels: the time information or block length of the input channels do not match ...
    My sampling rate 100kHz and Block size: 16384. I add my Worksheet.

    nowy.DSB ‏32 KB

    Sorry for the delay in responding. Happy New Year.
    The two channels going into the forumla have different block size and sample rates. The Formula expects all data coming in to have the same sample rate, block size, and time stamp. 
    The Statistics module outputs one value for a block of data. 
    Your sample rate is 100 kHz, with a block size of 16384. The FFT module reduces the block size to 8192.
    The Statistics module on Channel 0 is outputting one sample blocks with a sample rate of 6.1035.
    The second channel going into the Statistics module is coming from the Block Average module. It is reducing the total number of blocks, keeping the sample rate in the block the same (100 kHz) and the block size the same, but the total number of blocks is reduced by 4. It then goes into the Statistics module, where it is reduced again, this time to a block size of 1 and a sample rate of 6.1035. BUT... there are fewer blocks, with gaps - the data channel is now tagged as  "triggered" which means that there are gaps in the data, it's not perfectly continuous.
    This Chart Recorder image shows you the problem.
    The real question.... what are you trying to do?

  • Problem with input data format - not "only" XML

    Hi Experts,
    I have problem with input data format.
    I get some data from JMS ( MQSeries) , but input format is not clear XML. 
    This is some like flat file with content of XMLu2026.
    Example:

    2. data after last parser </Document> -> 000016750
    This data destroy XML format.
    Unfortunately XI is not one receiver of this files and we canu2019t change this file format in queue MQSeries ( before go to XI) .

    2. Is any way to get only XML from this file ?
    Thanx .

    Hi Buddy
    What is the XI adapter using?
    If you use inbound File adapter content conversion you could replace these values with none and then pass it to the scenario.

  • Multiple input channels with following start task VIs

    Hello everybody
    I have this Vi, trying to acquire two input signals. I get the error 50103 which is because of "Concurrently running two or more analog input or analog output tasks".
    obviously, I should combine them into one task but here is the problem:
    first: I want one of them to be started after the other one. I dont want them to be started atr the same time.. i dont know how to start them sequently on one task..
    second: I want to send the pulse from the analog comparison event of the first input signal to the second one. but i dont know how i can do that when im having both channels in one task.
    thanks..

    Dear  RavensFan
    thank you for your responce
    about the second question:
    once the trigger condition set up has been met an analog comparison event pulse is output from the analog trigger circuitry and is then available to the AI, AO and Counter Circuitry.
    then I need this pulse signal as the source of triggering for acquiring another input singnal I will add to my Vi later . if you look at my VI, i have connected a analog comprison event to the second input channel samle clock,,, i'm not sure if i'm doing the right thing here or not..
    what i was trying to do is that i want this vi to show me the output signal of the analog comparison event which carries the information about the times that my trigger settings has occured..
    actually, in the second inut channel, i wanted to make a graph that shows me the times that my first signal has crossed zero points. (which is obvious in my trigger setting)
    Is there any way i dont have to combine my input signals in one task and get rid of the error?
