Accessing a SWTICH and DMM cards in a PXI System remotely
Hi everybody,
I use a PXI system with a NISwitch PXI-2503 and NiDMM PXI-4070. The embedded controller PXI-8176 is running WinXP.
From a client machine I want to access remotely this cards. Via VISA Server it is possible to interact with the Switches using NI's driver NiSwitch. On the ther hand, I did not succeed so far to access remotely the DMM using the driver software NiDMM. I receive always the following error:
"Error -1074135030 occurred at niDMM Initialize.vi
Possible reason(s):
Error: (Hex 0xBFFA000A) Failure loading driver module."
My Software Versions are:
Labview 7.1, VISA 3.1, NI-DAQ 2.10, NiSwitch 2.20, NI-DMM 2.2.1
I have read that there are some incompatibilities between VISA and RDA conc
erning the TCP-IP port, but this problem should be solved in the versions I currently use.
Anybody out there who knows a workaround?
Thanx for any help in advance

Hannes,
Unfortunately I don't think anybody here knows of a workaround because the application is not one that anybody has recently tested using NI-DMM. The easiest work around to me would be to use LabVIEWs remote front panels to do the acquisition. The only reason why using this might cause a problem is if you need to save data to file on a remote PC. So the only consideration to work with is to save the file on the host PC and then grab the file saved using FTP or something along those lines. That may be a much easier work around than trying to figure out what is going on with the low level DMM driver call. Hope this helps. Good luck with your application.

Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system
I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer. I had Contacted the Company "EA" that puts out the Game Spore, this is what they said what the game requirements are: The minimum system requirements for Spore and Spore the Galactic Edition for Mac are as follows:
* Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
* Intel Core Duo Processor
* 1024 MB RAM
* At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
* Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: an Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100 or Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
Supported Video Cards
ATI Radeon(TM) series
* X1600, X1900, HD 2400, HD 2600
NVIDIA GeForce series
* 7300, 7600, 8600, 8800
Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
* GMA X3100
and that I need to upgrade my system. Basically I need; ATI Radeon 1600 or NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a INTEL Extreme Graphic Video Card-GMA X3100, in order to be able to install and play this game. Since I already have this game, I would like to be able to upgrade my computer system which brings me to ask; does somone know or refer me to a web site that has and sells these Video and Graphic Card and supports for the Mini Mac?
Plus they say that I need a 1020 of MB of Ram, I Have already found that 1024 MB of Ram but I just need those Video and Graphic Cards for my computer system. I am adding my computer system Profile to my discussion board to show you what I have on my system, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to add these Video and Graphic card and the memory or Ram 1024 to my computer system?
Note: Here is a web site that I am looking at to add the 1024 MB of Ram to my computer system:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=24188 41&CatId=2453
what do you think?

Can someone Please help me with any suggestions or otherwisde I will have to go to a Apple store and ask for help there.
Thank You,
Trisha Foster
<Edited by Moderator>Hi Trisha,
The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

Configure DAQ cards in RT PXI system
Greetings all,
I'm just trying to learn how to use Real Time and I'm having trouble setting up the DAQ cards in the PXI chassis.
I am able to successfully connect to the PXI RT system and run simple VI's that have no DAQ or VISA access.
What I can't any info on is how to setup and access the DAQ and serial ports on the RT system. A quote from teh help file says,
"To configure remote DAQ devices, select your DAQ device from the Devices and Interfaces category under My System. Select Tools»NI-DAQ Configuration»Remote DAQ Configuration from the MAX menu to launch the Remote DAQ Configuration dialog."
I've tried this and it wants to see the RDA server running on the PXI, which of course isn't there sin
ce it's running RT.
What am I doing wrong here?
I'm running a PXI-8156B with a PXI-6071E and PXI-6713. This also has NT4 installed. Both PXI and host machine have LVRT 6.0.3, NI-DAQ 6.9.1
The host is running Win200.
Thanks
Ed
Ed Dickens - Certified LabVIEW Architect - DISTek Integration, Inc. - NI Certified Alliance Partner
Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.I'm using:
LabVIEW 6.1
NI-DAQ 6.9.2f4
MAX 2.2.0.3010
This may be obvious to others, but it certainly was not to me...
I wanted to configure devices on my remote PXI RT system, and I experienced the exact situation described above.
All the instructions and help I could find seemed to suggest that I should select the following menu item:
Tools >> NI-DAQ Configuration >> Remote DAQ Configuration...
But when I went there and entered the name or IP address of the Remote System, MAX couldn't find it. The PXI system was listed in the "Remote Systems" folder, and I could set up its networking parameters and software downloads from the "Remote Systems" folder.
It turns out the
key is to:
right-click on "Devices and Interfaces" in the "My System" folder
select "Create New..." to bring up a dialog<\li>
selec "RDA/Ethernet Device" then click "Finish" to bring up yet another dialog
specify the remote systems address, then click "Next"
The List of Remote Devices Appears!!! (Hallelujah!)
select a device, "Next", specify a local device number, "Finish"
Now the Remote Device is listed in the "Devices and Interfaces" folder of "My System" (strange that it's not listed under the Remote System - but who cares at this point).
repeat for each device
Now you can go back and select that original menu item (Tools >> NI-DAQ Configuration >> Remote DAQ Configuration...), specify the address, and (Behold!) there are those pesky remote devices.
(NOTE to NI... If this process is described anywhere in documents or help files relating to configuring devices on a remo
te RT PXI system I couldn't find it. Perhaps my trouble is that I've never used a PXI system or remote devices prior to trying to us LabVIEW Real-Time, but I'm probably not the only person in this situation.) -
Hard Drives and video card for new CS5 system
I've read through much of the threads in the hardware forums and find I still have questions. I am just beginning to learn how to edit and it is not a source of income for me at the moment. My sources will be from tapes from my Canon HV20 and at some point either a Panasonic GH2, Canon 60D or similar.
I have bought the following:
ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard
24 GB of Patriot Sector 7 DDR3 1333MHz memory (9-9-9-24)
Intel i7-950 3.06 GHz CPU
I plan to use Cineform NEO or maybe NEO HD to ingest my files.
I also have 4 Seagate 750GB 7200.11 hard drives I can use.
It seems like the best bang for the buck for a video card is a GTS 450 at about $100 because I can't find any data that indicates a GTX 460 or a GTX 570 would make any difference (see http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm)
As far as hard drives goes, Harm's article on creating separate storage makes sense to me. It seems like I could create a "4 drive" system quite easily (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972). Given that I am not ready to spend moeny on an Areca card until I can develop my skills, I am wondering if I should get one of the new WD Velociraptor 600GB (SATA 6) drives as my system drive for about $280, a 150 GB (SATA 3) Velociraptor drive for about $100, or some other fast drive.
Given that my motherboard can support RAID, should I consider RAIDing the "D" drive or the "E and F" drives?
Is there any value to using an SSD drive for the "E" drive (page file and media cache) [see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972]? Microcenter has a 64GB drive for $100.
Thanks in advance.Hi Harm,
First let me say, I didn't mean to exclude Bill Gehrke. I just didn't know what was what. Thank you for explaining that to me. Let me also say the you and Bill have a great site.
I have a question for you, in the tests I have run with my systems, I am not seeing any speed difference between the 450 and 480. Now granted, they are AMD processors and I know they don't have the SSE 4.1+. Here are my systems that I ran the tests on:
An AMD X4 Quad Core computer running at 2.9 Ghz with 12 gigs of RAM and a single Samsung 7200 rpm SATA 3.0Gb/s hard drive
An AMD X6 Six Core computer running at 3.2 Ghz with 12 gigs of RAM and a single Samsung 7200 rpm SATA 3.0Gb/s hard drive
Both computers were running the same version of the NVidia driver and all non-essential programs were disabled.
When I test the 450 and the 480 in the AMD X4 system, they are turning in pretty much the same level of performance, in that system.
The same holds true with the AMD X6, the 450 and 480 turn in virtually the same level of performance, in this system.
The AMD X6 with either the 450 or 480 does turn in a better performance over the AMD X4 with either video card.
The question.... Are you seeing result that are like this? Where using the exact same computer, turns in the same results with different video cards.
From the number of emails I get about the article, other have reported this to me also. I have had a few people who said when they did see a minor speed increase when they did switch between a 450 and a 480 and a couple who did see a good speed increase.
I am working on changing the article to reflect this and would really appreciate your input or Bills input on this.
I have looked at your benchmark chart and read through the result, but one thing that concerns me when reading some of the results is what programs do they have running in background, if any. And how is that effecting their performance. That is why I used the two systems I listed above to do the tests with. It gives me a controlled enviroment to do test the performance of the video cards in.
As a side note, when I tested the 450 and 480 cards in a friends Intel I7 system, again we didn't see any performance difference between the two video cards, but he did have some programs running in background which may have caused the perfornce results I got.

How to Generate Synchronized pulses across two separate cards on a PXI system
Hey,
I'm trying to generate three pulses from my PXI System for triggering purposes. I have two cards (PXI 6259 and PXI 6115) , each with two counter/timers on them. The 6259 has 32 bit timers, and the 6115 has 24 bit timers.
Up until now, I only needed two pulses. One was 180us long at 20 Hz, and the other is 5us at 20 Hz, starting 150us after the beginning of the first pulse. I was able to achieve this by generating both pulses on my 6115 card by triggering the shorter pulse off of the rising digital edge of the longer pulse and giving the DAQmx Counter/Timer task an initial delay of 150us.
The third pulse needs to be identical to the short pulse, only it needs to occur 20us early (130us after the start of the wide pulse). I tried to generate it using the same technique as I used when generating the short pulse, only generating the pulse and reading in the rising digital edge trigger on my 6259 card instead of the 6115.
The result was that my pulse trains were asynchronous and the pulse generated on the 6259 card was constantly shifting to the left.
This puzzled me, so I wrote up a little dummy program to test generating triggered pulses. The results were that when I generated two pulses on the same card, they were always synchronized; however when I generated pulses on separate cards, one of the pulses always shifted.
I was hoping somebody could suggest a reason that the pulses across cards are asynchronous even though I'm reading in a digital trigger and hopefully a way to rectify the situation and synchronize all of my pulses.The problem, in a nutshell, is that the timebases on the two boards have manufacturing tolerances that will cause them to differ from one another. The accuracy error is a small fraction of a percent, but the effect on the phasing of your pulses will be cumulative. That's why you saw the one set of pulses "shifting to the left."
The solution is to make sure each board derives its pulse timing from a single common timebase. Fortunately, this is pretty easy to specify with DAQmx, just a little tricky to find. In the chain of VI's you call to configure the counter pulses, insert a DAQmx Channel property node. From memory, I *think* you should be looking under something similar to "Counter Output->General->Timebase->Timebase.Src"
Right click and create a constant or control to define the timebase source. You should get a dropdown list that includes a wide variety of choices. Among them are each of the boards' 20 MHz clocks. By default each task will use a timebase from its own board but this technique lets you route one board's timebase over the PXI backplane with that single property node setting. DAQmx does most of the dirty work behind the scenes.

Controlling Access to OS with Smart Card
Does any one know if there is a program built within OS X (Tiger) or either a third party program that will allow a machine running Tiger to be set up to only be accessed when using a "Smart Card" (similar to the system used on a lot of government machines)?
Also, where would a person obtain the Smart Card to use with the program. Thanks!!!You might look into a hardware product called "SecuriKey":

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card
Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
The dragon symbol on LED panel
With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games! -
How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?
How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?
Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
It's a format that the iPad will play
I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see. -

Qosmio X505 - System Recovery CD + webcam and graphics card driver
I need some answers from anyone regarding my Toshiba Qosmio X505 notebook.
I bought this notebook back in July of this year and I am having problems with it already.
Number one, my most important concern is a system recovery disk. $1,500+ dollars I spent on this computer with a warranty it didn't come with any system recovery CD.
Once a year on all my computers I like to reinstall Windows as it makes the computer brand new again (I constantly work and even go to school on my laptop so I can't help if scrap piles up on it and it slows down after a while). What am I to do about this?
I think I read on this forums a while back that the computer came with something to create a backup disc.
I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."
Would this be what I am looking for to create a backup of the computers OS and preinstalled software? I want to keep all my Toshiba utilities as well as the required software to play Blu Ray movies.
Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initalize and then it doesn't work at all.
What gives? This should automatically work!
Number three, my graphics card/driver has been having some problems. Particurarily when I watch videos or run something like Windows Movie Maker. My screen will completely go black and and come back on and I get an error saying something like "NVidia has crashed and Recovered", I can't remember the exact error message, I archived it in Windows Error messages and it didn't save it for some reason. How do I fix this?
I got the latest graphics card drivers from NVidia that were appropriate for this computer and for some reason it crashes alot.
Any answers to these problems is appreciated.
I love this laptop but at the same time for the price of it compared to a cheap $300 other laptop I don't expect to have any problems with the web camera or editing videos. This computer should have rock solid drivers.> I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."
> Would this be what I am looking for to create a backup of the computers OS and preinstalled software?
Yes, this is the tool which creates the Recovery Disk. The recovery disk allows you t set the notebook back to the factory settings.
> Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer > I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initialize and then it doesn't work at all.
> What gives? This should automatically work
The webcam is controlled by Chicony webcam software. This software needs to be started in order to use the webcam. But also the 3rd party tools like MS messenger or Skype has an access to webcam and sometimes such tools can affect the webcam functionality.
Its hard to say why this happens but mostly everything works properly. But from time to time its needed to reinstall the webcam software.
> Particurarily when I watch videos or run something like Windows Movie Maker. My screen will completely go black and and come back on and I get an error saying something like "NVidia has crashed and Recovered", I can't remember the exact error message, I archived it in Windows Error messages and it didn't save it for some reason. How do I fix this?
This means that graphic card driver has crashed and has been started again.
Usually the graphic card driver should sort out such issues. -
MAX does not detect my PXI-5122 and PXI-6551 cards in a PXI-1045 chassis.
I have been using a PC with MXI-3 to PXI-1045 chassis to develop LabView TestStand code. Things are fine on my development PC. [Software configuration report attached nireport_rich.txt].
I have a 2nd PC set aside to test my deployment packages. I installed a GPIB card and MXI-3 card in my deployment test PC, and loaded a bunch of hardware drivers. [Report attached nireport_depPC_0006.txt]
All the PXI cards are found just fine when my development PC is connected, but when I power up my deployment PC (with MXI-3 connected to the 1045 chassis) -- I can't import the development configuration [exported from development PC] because the deployment PC does not see the PXI-6551 DIO card in slot 6 [PXI6::10::INSTR] and the PXI-5122 card in slot 13 [PXI8::15::INSTR].
I keep reviewing the hardware driver versions installed, and the only small difference that I see at this point is that the deployment PC has a slightly older version of NI-Switch.
Anybody have any ideas of what I can try next? I'm out of ideas.
. . . . hmmm, can't seem to attach more than one file, so here's the software info on the deployment PC

LabVIEW Run-Time 7.1Hello Maggie,
Appreciate your assistance and reply.
The pxisys.ini and pxiesys.ini files are modified by me with referring to
1)PXI System Alliance PXI-2 SW spec,
2)PXI-6 SW spec,
and 3)pxisys.ini pxiesys.ini generated by MAX v5.3.0f0 with NI PXIe-1075 + NI PXIe-8133.
The content in pxisys.ini/pxiesys.ini generated by MAX looks like simple. Consequently, I modified and checked it line by line according to actual hardware of PXES-2590+PXIe-3975. Then, MAX just list devices as described in the first post. I tried to find the root cause but in vain.
Is this minor issue can be related any incorrect tag lines in pxisys.ini or pxiesys.ini I posted?
Is any suggestion tests I can do to troubleshoot root cause?
Looking forward your reply.
Cheers,

How to synchronize the data acquisition from both GPIB and DAQ card
I want to begin/stop acquiring the data from GPIB and PCI6024E card into Labview at the same time. Since the acquisition from GPIB is quite slow comparing to the one from DAQ card, I can not put both of them in the same loop structure. Is it possible to synchronize them?
Thank you!Hi,
I wanted to save data acquired from NI-DAQ (for example, NI 9234) in a file using the DAQ-mx ANSI C Code. The response I got was as follows:-
One way to do it is with TDMS logging. DAQmx comes with functions designed to log to a TDMS file. This is a special file type that is used for collecting data in a logical format. It can be displayed in a TDMS viewer where data is separated into groups and channels. NI-DAQmx provides examples for how to log to TDMS. Look at the TDMS examples in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Analog In\Measure Voltage directory.
However, now I want to know is there a way that using that same C code, can we save the data in a .txt file format (Text File) instead of a TDMS file? We actually want to access that file through MATLAB (that's why we want to save it in text format).
Also on an other note, is there a way we can access & open TDMS files by MATLAB?
Thanks,

I can't access capital one website credit card, firefox 5.0 is not compatible
''locking - duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/845687''
I try to access capital one website, credit card site and is not compatible with firefox 5.0'''bold text'''If you think it might be your Firefox version, you might be able to run 3.5.19. Certainly that would be more secure than 3.0.11.

I recommend backing up your Firefox settings first in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.) -

DetailsYou are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].
