AC Recovery PXIe-1073

Is there any way to set how the PXIe-1073 behave when AC power is restored after AC power loss?
I want the PXIe-1073 to power on after AX power loss.
I'm using the PXIe-1073 in a long time test system (1000h) and it must start-up automatically after a power loss.

Hi,
The NI PXIe-1073 is lacking support of remote power control. For high priority applications or long time test systems I recommend upgrading to one of the supported chassis.
When on a supported chassi, this Knowledge Base provides some more details and other related features of PXI and PXIe chassis: Remote Power of a PXI Chassis

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 determine what card is in what slot of a PXIe-1073 unit programmable

How can i programmable determine what card is in what slot of a PXIe-1073 unit I have a PXI-4063 and a PXI-2503 in a 1073 chassis. I use the DAQmx Device Product Type to to find the 2503 matrix card but it woun't return the 4065 product type.

Hi cjp1,
The KnowledgeBase article Programmtic PXI Slot Detection walks you through the steps to do this. There is also a community example called Read PXI an PXIe Card Serial Numbers Programatically that demonstrates the type of LabVIEW architecture you can use to do it.
You should first ensure that all of your modules can be identified and self-test in MAX.
In case the above hyperlinks don't work, you can copy-paste the addresses below:

PXIe-1073 sytem not detected

I connected a PXIe-1073 system (PXIe-6363 and PXI-2567 connected) to the PC (running Windows 7) and the PC does not detect the chassis. It started happening when I recently upgraded to LabVIEW 2013 and NI-DAQmx 9.7.5.
I also installed the MXI BIOS compatibility software Ver 1.4, changed the DIP switch1 to ON position on the MXI express card 8361 and rebooted the computer. That did not solve the problem.
Then, I upgraded to PXI Platform services 3.2.3 and restarted the computer. I still don't see PXI system recognized in NI MAX. When the computer was restarted, the 8361's MXI card's switch 1 was still in ON position.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue ?
Thanks
Jeet

Hi Matt
Sorry for delay in replying.
After a lot of uninstallation/installation/repair of different driver versions, i have currently got the following software (see attached pic): NI-DAQmx 9.5.5, Ni PXI platform services 3.2.1.
In the picture, you can see that all my cards are detected in NI-DAQmx devices as Dev1, Dev2 etc.
My PXIe-1073 is not detected or listed in MAX. I expect to see chassis controller detected and all the cards listed under the chassis controller as "PXI2slot2" device or "PXI2slot4" device etc.
The attached pic shows NI-MAX and device manager snap shot.
Please advise.
Thanks
Jeet

PXIe-1073 not detected

I'm trying to install a PXIe-1073 chassis on a new Dell system running Windows 7 x64. I have the latest version of Labview, NI-DAQmx, etc. The PCI express controller shows as properly installed in the Device Manager ("PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge"). The chassis and installed DAQ card are not detected in MAX.
I am actually transferring this system from an older computer. I recall having exactly the same problem before, and I'm fairly certain I solved it by installing the "MXI-Express BIOS Compatability Software". There was never any way to actually identify the "PXI System" as anything other than "External PC" even when it was working properly.
After installing the current version of the MXI-Express software, I rebooted and was able to load MAX briefly before Windows BSODed with an error involving "niraptrk.dll". This proceeded to occur every time I tried to load Windows. I was able to start in safe mode, but attempting to uninstall any NI software gave me an "error 1601". I was finally able to load the last known good configuration and uninstall the software.
When I checked MAX again, the chassis was still unrecognized, but there were multiple broken entries for the DAQ card installed in it, so I assume it was detected at some point. It looks like the MXI-Express software worked, but it's obviously unusable if it causes the computer to BSOD every time Windows starts. Why is the computer unable to recognize the chassis without it? What else can I do to solve the problem?

Hello Bob_mcbob,
After looking over this issue, I think we have a problem with the Windows installer on your machine. I have found a KnowledgeBase about the Error 1601 stating that this is a Microsoft Windows installer error and that the installer will need to be reinstalled. The Knowledgebase explains how to do this.
As for the BSOD, do you have any more information that it provided when this occurred like the address line, etc? Did you do something in MAX before it crashed?
Since accessing MAX now gives you a BSOD, I think it would be best to uninstall/reinstall the drivers to fix the issue. What cards do you have in this system?

PXIe 1073 Input Grounding

Hello,
I was wondering how the grounds from the hybrid slots of a PXIe 1073 chassis are connected within the chassis. I'm using 3 PXI 6255 cards, though I don't believe that makes a difference. What I'm looking for is whether they are tied together or not, or similar information. Thank you.

Yeah, I discovered that not long ago. Every ground on DAQ cards are tied to the chassis ground. It is just that each type of ground (DGND, AGND) have their own planes on the card itself. And chassis ground will be going to Earth Ground, in case that matters to you.

PXIe 1073 Power On Start

Hello.,
I have a PXIe 1073 system
I want to start it automatically when there the Mains Power is connected.
any clues !!

Dear aparab,
as far as I understand your inquiry, you'd like to boot a pxi controller without pressing the on-switch. The PXI chassis has three different methods on how to power on: Wake-On-LAN, an inbuilt switch and a BIOS setting. Details you can find in the following article.

Pxie-1073 trigger

Can the PXIe-1073 drive/monitor the PXI trigger lines?

Hello Robert,
I have not seen any software that can monitor and display the information of the PXI Trigger Bus that is in the backplane of the PXI. A workaround is using an external card that can be used to export this lines to the front panel of the PXI. Some of the cards that can help with this are the 6652 or the 6653 timing and synchronization cards.
On the following link you should be able to see an example on how to export a Trigger to a PFI line:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2350
Also, I would like to show you some articles that speaks how to manipulate the trigger lines:

I am using NI PXIe-1073 with Labview-2014.After deploying the VI how can i read the data through host computer?

sankar,new delhi

PIB. I want to read the data from the GPIB after the operation complete. I am using *opc? command, which should set the status register bit after the completion of the operation, but this is not working. How to know that the Operation is complete"-Thanks.The NI-488 global status variables ibsta, ibcnt, and iberr is what you are looking for. Look into the 4882 help file for details. Also NI-Spy, http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/nispy.htm, is a good debug util. There is a website that lists common GPIB error codes and solutions. You may check there for some things to try. You'll find the link at ni.com > Support > Troubleshooting > Installation/Getting Started > GPIB, titled "GPIB Error Codes and Common Solutions".
You could find a driver for this instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
We develop dri
vers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

How can I display an analog input to PXI-5105 out on LabVIEW?

Hi ALL,
I am very very new to LabVIEW and I just started to fiddle around with it. I am running LabVIEW 2010 SP1 version on Windows 7 OS. I also have NI PXIe-1073 chassis with PXIe-6361 and PXI-5105 modules and the chassis is connected to my PC via PCI. I was getting myself acquainted with the devices and was trying to see some analog signals to one of the channels on the PXI-5105 module in a graph in LabVIEW.
I would appreciate your helps.

Analog Trigger unavialable in PXIe-4353

Hello,
I'd be grateful for some help with my case. I'm building a VI for acquisition of multiple signals from thermocouples. My hardware is NI PXIe-1073 chassis with PXIe-4353 module to read the signals.
The problem is that I want to use an Analog Edge trigger for the start of the measurement but it is unavialable to choose in the DAQ Assistant properties window (I have only None and Digital Edge to choose form). I also tried to do the same with DAQmx functions but I got the Error which says that I can only choose Digital Edge Trigger or None.
The hardware (PXIe-4353) does seem to support Analog Triggering: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370471W-01/cdaqmxsupp/pxie-4353/ or am I mistaken ?
Also I want to note that I currently use hardware simulation and not the actual hardware - can this be the reason?
My VI and SubVI are attached to this post. I'm new to Labview so I may have made some silly mistake. Please let me know then

Dear pancarlos,
Unfortunately, the hardware does not support analog triggering, as stated in this thread. If that is necessary in your application, you might want to consider adding another PXI card to the system that does trigger on analog input, and use the trigger lines to start your PXIe-4353.

My PXI-4132 has stopped outputting voltage

I have an NI PXIe-1073 chassis with an NI PXI-4132 card installed.
I had the system turned off over the weekend & started it up to do some linearity measurements on an ADC yesterday. As usual, I was going to do a quick check of my setup by using the NI DC-power soft front panel to output some dc voltages & check that the data converter was giving ball park correct codes before I started a vi to sweep the input voltage & collect real data.
I started MAX(measurement & automation explorer) & it told me that my card passed self test. Then I ran the test panel & tried to force 4V at the DUT, but my scope showed 75mV.
I removed all the cabling & measured again at the front connector. All the lights on the front were green & the scope was set to 1MΩ input termination, but again I got no voltage on any pin of the 4132. I was expecting it to come out on “HI”. Then I checked “Sense HI” & then all of the pins, but no voltage. The scope ground is connected through a banana lead to the chassis ground on the front of the card. I measured my HP 1.8V power supply & got 1.8V on the scope.
I rebooted the chassis & the pc 3 times each , with the same result. What might I be doing wrong? Is there a vi I could run to reset everyting? I have reset the card with MAX.
I have had this unit for 3 years & I don't think it has ever done this before.

Hello Bob,
You can try to self-calibrate your device (In MAX, right click the device and select Self-Calibrate). If there is something wrong with the hardware then the calibration is going to fail. Please document the result if there is any error. Please remember to disconnect all the cabling previous to the calibration.
What is the value read in the front panel for voltage and current after you enable the output? Are you working with the Local or Sense measurement mode? Please connect your oscilloscope to terminals C and F (refer to picture 7 on the link below) and configure the test panel to Local Sense, what is the value read on your oscilloscope?
