Can I detect USB cable unplugged for USB 6229

I am using a USB 6229 to control a moving machine. As a safety mechanism, I would like to be able to detect if the USB cable becomes unplugged and stop the machine.
I thought maybe I could use the Watchdog functions in DAQmx to achieve this, but I get an error which says that watchdogs are not supported on the 6229. Does anyone know if there is a way to detect the USB cable is unplugged on the 'machine' side of the 6229, please? I could build my own watchdog timer and control it using digital I/O lines, but I wondered if I was missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I don't believe you'll be able to do set this up with your USB 6229. There aren't any safety features like watchdog timers on that device and I don't believe there's a signal or anything generated when the USB cable is unplugged. Your best bet would be to build your own watch dog timer or perhaps look at a DIO device with this functionality built in.

Maximum cable lengths for USB / FW / DVI & sVGA?

I've hunted around on the net and can't find any kind of definitive answer regarding maximum cable lengths for USB, Firewire 400/800 and DVI / sVGA monitors. Can anyone shed some light?
I'm about to shift my studio into a new room, and have the oppourtunity to stick my G5 and external drives into a corridor cupboard adjacent to where my studio is - in other words, noise free bliss! But....
...if I map out how far my computer monitors, keyboard and audio interface will be from the cupboard, and take into account the twists and turns involved in neat routing, I'm looking at a distance of about 10 meters. I need to know if any of these devices will be OK with such a long run of cable, and if not, if it's possible to achieve a good result using hubs or repeaters?
So, can anyone help me out with info on:
an Apogee Ensemble (Firewire 400)
an Apple keyboard (USB 2.0)
an LCD flatscreen (DVI)
and another LCD flatscreen (sVGA)
Many thanks!

I was just researching the very same thing, though it does not sound like my studio setup will be as sweet as yours. Here are a few things I ran across:
FIREWIRE-
"The maximum cable length specified by the IEEE1394 standard is 4.5 meters. However, more recent tests have shown that certain high quality firewire cables can achieve longer lengths without significantly affecting transmission quality. Several manufacturers sell firewire cables longer than 5 meters (some up to 50 meters)."

I found an example of a company who claims to sell a firewire cable of that length:

There is forum discussion on the topic I was reading yesterday:
http://www.everythingusb.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=804
But don't go past the 11th post or so, they go off on another subject... the use of hubs & the words "active extension" in that post caught my eye. A quick google search came up with this site:
http://www.everythingusb.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=804
There were a bunch sites with devices claiming to do this.
Finally I have this chart, which seems to support what what the articles say, without of course any other extension technology/solutions:
http://www.extron.com/company/article.aspx?id=dedigform10
I'm not making any claims at all about how true these sources are, I just have the same questions and decided to toss what I've been looking at into the discussion. Feel free anyone to jump in and tell me its all wrong - I'd love to hear whats right.

iPod Shuffle 1st generation (grey buttons equipped
with latest software) USB Does Not Work:
-When charging with the Adapter, iPod does not
charge. No light comes on.
-When charging with Computer, iPod does not charge.
No light comes on. iPod used to charge to the
computer. Computer has the System Requirements for
the iPod.
-When iPod is put in the Computer, no light comes on,
the iPod is not recognized. iPod used to work with
the computer. Computer has the System Requirements
for the iPod.
-The USB in the iPod looks perfectly fine. Identical
to a different iPod Shuffle 1st generation.
-iPod never broke or had damage problems. The USB
just stopped working.
-The Battery of the iPod still works and the iPod
still lets me play music, but since I cannot charge
it, the battery will eventually not work.
-iPod was purchased in November, 2005. (last year).
What is wrong with my iPod? Thankyou for your time.
It's defective... return it for a replacement at the point of original purchase, an Apple Store, or ask for replacement on line http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site i'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9.

Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site I'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9. I'm
running IE 11 with registry hack for IE 9. I think the SL5 webbrowser control is set to work only in IE 7. can some one verify this or tell me how to set the WebBrowser control up to run either IE8, 9, 10 or 11? I have same issue with machines running IE 8
and above. This Silverlight 5 application is running out of browser with the elevated privileges (hack) and at test certificates install in proper stores. This application has been running for 2.5 years. Vender switch on some changes a couple days ago that
broke this application. Help!!

Hi,
It seems there is nothing to do with IE mode.
Please make sure your link still can be accessed.
The WebBrowser displays HTML content in applications running in a Silverlight 4 or later out-of-browser applications or in Silverlight 5 in-browser trusted applications only.

Any suggestions on this one?

It then works again, but then for some reason after awhile it stops working again and you have to shut down again. Strange. Any possible permanent fix?

Max USB cable length for LT1421

Does anyone know how long the USB cable can be for connecting the LT1421 flat panel to the computer?
The screen is delivered with 1,8m but I must place the panel in a least 6 meter distance from the computer, is that possible?
I know that the max length for USB 2 is about 5 meters, but it varies between products how sensitive they are to cable length.

3 meters for USB1 and 5 meters for USB 2. You can find lots of information on the subject with a quick search. Try http://www.usb.org/about/faq/ans5 for starters. It explains how to get up to 25 meters of USB cable when you use several USB hubs.

USB cable required for Canon IP4200??

Hi
I may be having a bad day or maybe I'm just dumb but anyway.... I just bought a Canon IP4200 printer and installed teh driver. Now it doesn't come with a USB cable so looking at the USB port on the printer it looked like the ones on my iBook, so I bought a A male to A male cable. Then I plugged both ends in to connect the 2, however as you've probably guessed it doesn't recognise the printer.
A quick online check reveals that I seem to need an A male to B male cable. However when I see the picture of this, the B male connector is a different, smaller shape and I cannot figure out where that would fit into if I bought it. The A male connector I am fine with as that looks like it can go into either the iBook or the printer but the B male I have no idea! Can anyone advise on what I am doing wrong or am I just mad???
Thanks
JSC

There was, before you posted a reply (the second comment, the question on how to delet the post). Now your post has received an answer, it can no be deleted. Sorry

Is Cable needed for USB Charger Accessory?

I want to buy the separate charger 'accessory' ($29) for charging by iPod. Do I need to buy a separate cable for it or does the cable that is used to sync/charge my iPod via my computer's USB 2.0 port work with it?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
The USB Cable will work. But some models of iPod's dont charge over USB - what model do you have?

Any USB A to mini B cable should work. IF you have a digital camera, you may already have one.

Z87-G45 - my USB audio device doesn't up after booting. Need to USB cable unplug

I have new Z87-G45 with clear Windows 7, newest drivers and last bios but still have the same problem. I have Roland Quad-Capture USB audio interface but it doesn't up with Windows. USB LED on the device is not lit anytime from when I push power button till the system is up. The only way is to unplug the USB cable and plug it again. It is very irritable. Please help me to resolve this problem.

Below is the quote from Amazon website hope that it somehow helps, you could find it in the amazon feedback from other user:
I called Roland tech support who were very friendly and concerned. But what it boiled down to was that the Roland drivers do not interact very well with certain computers. Tech support did not know why. They just kept telling me to update my usb drivers, even though when I ran updates my drivers came up as the most current available. Now, I have an eMachines, Windows 7, 64 bit PC with 8 meg ram, and I know eMachines are not high end. But the computer is less than 2 years old, and seems to run fast and I have liked it. When I told tech support that my drivers came up current, he recommended that I contact the manufacturer. I don't know if you have ever tried to get tech support on a computer that is more than a year old. It's a joke, no one will help you unless you pay them almost enough to buy a new computer.
After more research, I found that many people had the same problem that I had. If they booted up their computer with the interface plugged in, they would run into all kinds of issues. The workaround is to always make sure your unit is unplugged before you boot up.

Usb cable falling apart, usb cable falling apart

usb cable falling apart near the connection that goes into the handset.

I have the same issue. I have bought 6 USB to Lightning cables (all made by Apple), two have already failed. The two cables failed right where the wire goes into the lightning connection block. This has to be a design issue or a quality control failure. The part that really stings is I bought these when they first came out for $40.00 each. This is utterly unheard of when it comes to industry standard cables like mini or micro-USB. Hopefully some third party manufacturer will come out with a high quality version of the lightning cable.

My Ipod Touch when I try to connect to ANY computer with ANY USB cable I get "USB Not Recognized" Other Ipod devices work with ALL computers and ALL USB cables PLEASE HELP!!!

I am using an IPod Touch 3. I get the error message USB Not Recognized. Now I have tried three different USB Cables and three different computers...... Same error message. My daughters IPod Touch 4 works perfectly with all of those USB Cables and computers, so this is not a USB problem or a computer problem. It must be something with my IPod Touch 3. Every article I go to wants me to look at stuff on the computer but how could that make sense if other IPod Devices work fine? Please. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

You need to provide more information about your network. What frequency does it use (2.4ghz or 5.0ghz), which wireless protocol (a, b, g, b/g compatibility, n), and what security are you using (WEP, WPA2, etc.)?
Please also provide more information about your iPod Touch. Which model is it, and which version of the iOS are you running on it?
