Can IEEE 488.2 Labview software/drivers used on a IEEE 488.1 instrument

I have a IEEE 488.1 device but am using a IEEE 488.2 Labview software/driver package. Measurement and Automatiion
tells me that the IEEE 488.2 board is working properly but there is no communication between the board and the device.
Is IEEE 488.2 downward compatible? If not, is there any remedy rather than getting a new board or getting a new instrument
with IEEE 488.2 software?
Thanks.

Hello,
In my application I am conducting a pressure test, Here am using DMA Make Air Data Test Set witch I am interfacing to the PXI system through GPIB.
In MAX the particular GPIB address is detected but if i write a query "*IDN?" it did nt respond.
To debug this issue I used NI 488.2 Interactive control when i started communicating with the instrument it throws error such as EAB0 and status as TIME0 and CMPL
Here the Instrument DMA make MPS31C is 1EEE 488.1 Compliant.and NI 488.2 Ver 2.52
Please find the attached operation manual and Device communication manual of the Air data test set
Please suggest be a solution for this issue.
Waiting for a quick reply
Regards
Lingaraj

can i download windows support software drivers from my pc into a harddrive to use on a mac?

it's unclear if we are speaking about 2 computer
or if you wish to install the windows bootcamp drivers on osx
if the first then sure a zip file is a zip file
if the later then no osx and windows don't use the same drivers

How can I build a LabView application that uses the 2012 runtime, on a development system with LabView 2013 or 2014 installed?

I need to build a LabView application .exe to run with the 2012 Runtime, for legacy support. I currently have LabView 2013 installed on my development system, and have 2014 available. How can I build an application that uses the 2012 runtime on this development system? Do I have to downgrade to 2012? Thank you.

We have existing customers that have installed our application that was originally built with 2012 (provided by a contractor that is no longer available). Due to IT regulations, it is far easier to update these customers by simply replacing the .exe file, than creating an install that their IT department must run.
If I have to downgrade to LabView 2012, where can I get the installation for this?

Can I download and activate software but use the license key on the box?

I purchased a new laptop. It has no DVD or CD-ROM drive. I purchased Photoshop CS3 and Acrobat Pro8 with my old laptop. Can I download the software from the Adobe site and activate it with the software key on the box?

The serial number should put an end to the trial period. If it is still presenting it as a trial, select whichever option is presented for using a serial number / key to activate it and that should alleviate the issue.
If you should have an issue getting it to activate, contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone.
Here are some links to help make contact:

How to implement a psophometric filter in Labview software without uising Sound and vibration toolkit?

Someone know the method to implement a psophometric or weighted filter in Labview software Without using Sound and Vibration Toolkit?
Thanks

The simplest way to implement a psophometric filter is to use the Sound and Vibration toolkit.
Anyway if you don't want to purchase it, you can have a look at this forum discussion and this one.

I installed windows 7 with bootcamp, also the support software with the drivers. Everything works fine, but my usb hubs don't work on windows. Can Anybody help me?I´m using an iMac with OSX.

I Installed windows with bootcamp on my imac, with the support software(drivers,etc).
Windows works perfectly appart from the usb hubs.
Can anyone help me?

Hello,
Are these the built in hubs, or external ones?
If external, are they bus powered or do they have their own AC power?

Communicating between GPIB IEEE 488-1978 Instrument and LabView

Hi,
I'm currently trying to convert some old BBC BASIC Code into Labview 6.1.
The BBC Computer has a GPIB Comms Unit attached to it to communicate with an old Marconi Instruments Microwave Counter 2440 using GPIB IEEE 488-1978.
I am currently trying to get Labview to communicate with the Counter using GPIB 488 vis and a NI GPIB 488.2 Card but I'm not able to get anything out of the Counter or get MAX to even acknowledge the equipment exists.
I was wondering if anyone out there knows if it is possible to communicate with a GPIB IEEE 488-1978 instrument in Labview 6.1 (or any other LV Versions) and if it is, does anyone have a driver for the instrument (Marconi Instruments Microwave Counter 2440 circa 19
84) or having any helpful tips on the protocol for talking to a IEEE 488-1978 instrument.(I have some previous experience using VISA.)
Many Thanks in Advance for your help.
Sammy Mason

I have done this with several instruments. It is best to get a hold of the manual for this instrument and see what commands it uses.
MAX will not find this using the *IDN? query. In MAX, open the "Communicate With Instrument" window and type "ID?" (without the quotes), and hit query. You should get some basic information back from your instrument.
I use GPIB Read and GPIB Write most often. Your instrument probably doesn't support much else. Maybe Clear and Poll.
Be careful if you are using a newer, faster computer. There are Knowledge Bases and Discussion Forum topics that discuss the problems that can arise. To prevent these problems, I created my own Read and Write VIs. They just have a few milliseconds delay before the read or writ
e takes place

Can i communicate with labview, using ethernet or seriel modbus.

Is it possible to communicate with a i/o module and labview. I can communicate with ethernet, canbus(cscan, devicenet), rs232(modbus).
What is the easiest solusion.
Is it necessary to buy PC-cards for the communication or have only to download some drivers.
Thx

Hello,
To communicate with a CAN/DeviceNET bus you will need an interface card in your PC. NI has such cards along with LabVIEW VIs:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1329〈=US
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1311〈=US
To communicate with Modbus, you will NOT need any special cards but you do need software drivers for it (you'll obviously need an Ethernet card for TCP/IP and Serial port for RS232). There are several options for these drivers, however:
1. Write your own driver VIs. You'll basically implement the Modbus protocol in LabVIEW. Modbus is a simple and open protocol.
2. Try to search the Net for such existing VIs. I believe someone has already written such Modbus VIs.
3. Use the Industrial Automatio
n OPC Servers suite from NI:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=4584〈=US
4. Use any third-party OPC Server for Modbus.
NOTE: in case you opt 3 or 4 above: though you may use DataSocket in LabVIEW as an OPC Client, you may want to consider LabVIEW-DSC which has a built-in OPC Client, and hence better support for OPC.
Hope this gives you some options.

Controlling pxi 7350 using labview software

Hi,
So i am a complete newbie when it comes to labview having only used it to control virtual instruments before and now i am the point where i want it to interact with real world items. Ok so here goes..... i have the latest labview development software and have also purchased a pxi1033 with a pxi4065 digital multimeter and a pxi 7350 motion controller integrated within.
my problem however is that i want to be able to control my motors via the umi7772 interface but cannot seem to find the correct symbols on the labview software to utilise them, i would like to use labview to create a program that will turn the stepper and evaluate what is on the dmm and then turn accordingly this is way above my level on labview currently but if anyone has any ideas then any information is greatly appreciated.
cheers
james

Hello Jamest6,
I have found some useful documentation that will help you get started with you 7350 and LabVIEW.
First of all here is a community example that you can take a look at. It is possible to download the example itself from the bottom of the page.
Read Analog Input (AI) values from NI-Motion device 73xx : https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-5617
Then you can access these knowledge base articles for some more guidance :
How Do I Use the Digital Input/Output Lines on my 7330, 7340, or 7350 Motion Controller Card? : http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2D238C3BF101620C862573A60081BFFE?OpenDocument
How do I control the analog ouputs from an NI PCI motion controller in Measurement & Automation Explorer?: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/04B940903BDD987C862579320083C6FF?OpenDocument
Also using these manuals for both prducts will be of help to you :
NI 7330/7340/7350 Motion Controllers and
P7000 Series Stepper Drives:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372324d.pdf
NI UMI-7774/7772 : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373359c.pdf
Another great source for looking at or using example VIs is the LabVIEW's Example Finder. Go to Help » Find Examples... When that window pops ups, double-click Toolkits & Modules in the folder list, then double-click NI Motion Assistant. I'm guessing the "Straight Line Move.vi" or "Blended Move.vi" would be most helpful to you, but you could read the descriptions of each example listed for a little bit more information about what the examples are doing.
Hope these are useful!

Installed Aperture update, now I can't print - says I need to install software to use this printer.

I prepare a photo in Aperture and send to the printer. It appears to go through but I get the following error "You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer." Even though the printer has worked fine for two years up until today. I re-downloaded the driver from Epson, installed and still the same thing.

I use an Epson 3880. After upgrading to Lion, I had to upgrade/re-install the Epson printer drivers. All work now.
There was a glitch in the installation, but I can't remember right now.
OP: did you get the newest drivers -- for Mountain Lion? did you uninstall the Epson 3880 before re-installing with the newest drivers? have you rebooted?
