Can PXI card be transparently substituted for PCI card in VME control?

Background:
We are purchasing a displacement-measuring-interferometer system from Zygo that ships with your NI VME-PCI8012 (777244-03) PCI to VME bridge. The Zygo system includes drivers for the bridge and a Windows application that runs on the host PC to acquire data from the measurement boards in the VME chassis. I wish to connect this system to my NI PXI-based data acquisition system (DAS).
Question 1:
I need to know if your NI VME-PXI8015, "PXI-8320, MXI-2 System Extender, Board Only Kit" (777573-01) can be installed in my PXI DAS and connected to the VME controller board, and function transparently to the Zygo Windows application that drives the VME system.
Question 2:
Our PXI-based DAS has
an embedded controller (NI PXI-8187) that is running Windows XP. Are the drivers that come with the PXI and PCI bridge cards compatible with Windows XP?
Thank you for your help and I look forward to your reply.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. Before I respond to your new question, I need to clear something up from my previous response. I misunderstood what you were asking, and posted some information that needs to be clarified.
MXI-3, while a successor to MXI-2, is quite different from MXI-2. MXI-3 is a PCI to PCI bridge , where MXI-2 is a VME to VME bridge. Also, MXI-2 requires the proper driver to function correctly.
For more information about the differences between MXI-3 and MXI-2 see the KnowledgeBase article, Upgrading VXI Systems from VXI-MXI-2 to VXI-8340 Series (MXI-3)
For the current driver required for MXI-2 to function with your
operating system, refer to Current NI-VXI Driver Versions
However this does not change the fact that you CAN replace the PCI-MXI-2 controller that shipped with your Zygo system with a PXI-MXI-2 controller.
As far as working around Zygo's use of the 2.1.1 driver goes, you could try to get your PXI system to work with the 2.1.1 driver. By all that I can tell, the 2.1.1 driver was developed to support PCI-MXI-2 on several operating systems, including Windows 2000, NT, ME, 98, and 95, and so you would need to be operating under in one of the supported operating systems in order for the driver to even be a possible solution. So, assuming you are using a supported operating system, I would download that 2.1.1 driver and install it in your system, and go from there. You can get directly to PCI-MXI-2 driver for Windows by clicking here.
Hopefully this gets you going, but let me know what ends up happening. Good luck!

  • Can we release the standard price for a material whose Price control is "V"

    Hi experts,
    Could you please clarify my doubt that can we release the standard cost of a material whose price control is "V".
    Our user is trying to release the std price. But its not getting released. If the material is of ML relevant I could have checked in CKM3 for any actual data existancy. I am aware that if any actual data existing the price could not be released.
    But here this material belongs to a Non Material ledger relevant plant. So I cheked the stock overview and for any material documents if any. But this material has no stock.
    I m confused how to check the material's transactions with FI entries.
    Please help in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Sarat.

    HI Sarat
    1. You can release a std cost for material with V, but that wont serve any purpose.. The inventory valuation will happen at V alone
    Either the material should have a BOM or Routing to release the std cost and MRP view shall have Proc Type as E / X
    OR
    You can have special proc in costing view as 20 and then execute CK11N for the material....
    Some price must be there in material master which will get released as std cost (based on your valuation variant)
    2. You can check material transaction using MB51

  • Where can one get power consumption figures for PCI-E Cards?

    as i wrote before im putting together a fairly decent rig, and im doing some heavy duty research into the actual total power requirement for it, using PSUCalc2003.v2 spreadsheet to calculate the total, however ive been unable to get the power consumption figures for my nvidia based graphics accelerator a Gigabyte Tech GV-NX62TC256DS with turbo cache, my guess is that this card is at the lower end of the power consumption spectrum but it would be nice to know the exact figure,
    any ideas on where can i get those figures ?
    thanks.....

    If you buy the 5770 from Apple as an upgrade kit it has the cable(s) - two for the 5870, one for 5770.
    If you bought a mac pro mid-2010 it may very well have come with cable(s), that I have never read or heard from others.
    OWC has not always inicluded cables but has charged extra, as they did with eVGA GTX285 where Apple sold with cables, and buying from OWC added another $30? or more to the cost with cables "extra" is what I recall.

  • Can K8N sli Platinum be upgraded for PCIE 2.1?

    Hi. Quick question as per the subject. Can the K8N sli Platinum motherboard BIOS be updated to recognise a PCIE 2.1 MSI R5570 graphics card.
    We did one BIOS update using the Live Update online thing but when we try and check to see if another newer update is now due the PC shuts down and says that we have got to undo an overclocking thing!!! The BIOS update was dated something like July 08 and I don't know if PCIE 2.1 was around then.
    I now assuming that there isn't a BIOS update for this motherboard to allow PCIE 2.1. Bit worried that the BIOS update that we did has done something bad although everything other than checking for the updates again seems to be working? Just putting Windows 7 on and that seems to be going fine.
    Do I send the graphics card back, or can I upgrade the motherboard and still use all or a lot of the rest of the existing items like the CPU and the memory, or will a new motherboard which accepts PCIE 2.1 pretty much force an upgrade to the whole lot? CPU = AMD Athlon 64 3500+ and memory = Corsair (TWINX1024-3200XLPT) 1024MB (2x512M Matched Pair). Things like wireless and disk drive etc shouldn't need changing would they?
    Thanks

    No, the board is too old
    Based on posts on this forum, i bought Radeon HD 4770, so not to get 5xxx series, i was eager to get. But nevertheless MSI K8N Diamond won't boot with 4770. Error code says it halts on "Testing VGA Bios".
    And when searching for possible fixes i came upon AMD forum where people were complaining about the 5xxx series not working with nForce 4 chipset, but most of them got an easy fix - email the support of the mainboard company and recieve new BIOS - so all the Gigabyte users got their machines running by just sending 1 email and waiting for few hours.
    I do hope MSI will respond and be as generous as the rivals, otherwise it will look bad for future buyers.

  • Can Airport Express USB port substitute for the USB Power Adapter?

    Literature on website says USB port will only "recognize" printers. But can USB port be used to power iPod, since no "recognition" is needed, just power?

    But can USB port be used to power iPod, since no "recognition" is needed, just power?
    Yes, unless the iPod is a third generation full-size model, which can't charge from any USB source.

  • Can I use a substitute for the Sample Clock?

    I have three different analog inputs coming from one device (PCI-6221).  Two inputs are running at the same sample rate while the third needs a faster sample rate and a trigger.  I have these seperated as two seperate tasks but my problem is they both use the sample clock.  Can I use a substitute for the sample clock on the third channel?
    I am running LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Ron Deavers, CLD

    Hi programmindragon,
    I understand you are trying to
    configure your PCI-6221 to sample on multiple channels, while having
    different rates and triggers for the channels. Unfortunately, you can
    only configure one analog input task to run at once and all the channels in
    the task must share the same configurations, including the sample clock
    and trigger. This is due to the fact that all the channels are
    multiplexed to a single amplifier and ADC on the device. Thus, you will
    not be able to configure the two inputs at one rate and use a different
    clock rate and trigger for the third input. Is it possible to sample at the
    maximum rate on all channels and decimate the data that you don't need on the certain
    channels, as well as share the same type of triggering? Hopefully you will be able to run your application with the same configuration across multiple channels, otherwise you may need multiple DAQ devices. Please let me know if you have any further questions related to this issue.

  • What cards can I put into G4/350 Sawtooth PCI slots?

    Hi,
    I have a generic PC TV tuner card and some video and modem cards for PCI slots.
    Can any of these cards be used in my Mac running either Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X 10.4?
    Are there drivers for these PC cards in Mac OS X at all?
    Just trying to fill these lots since I have these cards laying around...

    Yeah, I know ... the key is getting the Mac OS X drivers...
    I'd love to get that TV tuner PCI card to work in my G4. heheh, but I just know most/many PC PCI cards dont have Mac drivers... d'oh... I'll Google search for the specific Tuner card name, etc..
    It seems a waste to leave those PCI slots empty. heh.

  • Where can I find the driver for PCI-GPIB drivers for Windows XP

    We have PCI-GPIB cards work well under Win2k Pro and WinME, but when we try to mount the card to a WinXP machine and install the same driver as used under Win2k, and whenever I try scan instruments in Measurement & Automation, the system crashes and dumps the memory.
    Is there a specific driver for PCI-GPIB working under Windows XP? Thanks

    Hello,
    I don't know what GPIB driver version you have but you can go to the following webpage in order to get the latest GPIB driver (version 2.0) available.

  • I want to acquire data for multiple channels using PCI 6120 that works on traditional DAQ. I cannot access more than one channel, can someone help me or if someone has data acquisition vi for PCI 6120, please send me over . Thanks

    I have PCI 6120 card and I want to acquire data for more than one channels. I'm using traditional DAQ to get it. But it does not work for more than one channels. If someone has a data acquisition vi for PCI 6120. Or some suggestion how to aquire data please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hello DSPGUY1,
    You can definetly acquire from several channels. For your convenience, I have appended below the content from help that tells you how to configure it:
    "channels specifies the set of analog input channels. The order of the channels in the scan list defines the order in which the channels are scanned during an acquisition. channels is an array of strings. You can use one channel entry per element or specify the entire scan list in a single element, or use any combination of these two methods. If x, y, and z refer to channels, you can specify a list of channels in a single element by separating the individual channels by commas, for example, x,y,z. If x refers to the first channel in a consecutive channel range and y refers to the last channel, yo
    u can specify the range by separating the first and last channels by a colon, for example, x:y."
    Hope this help.

  • Looking For PCI ESATA Card For G5

    it will be running in both leopard and tiger
    can anyone recommend one and where to buy?
    i bought a rocstor 2ue drive and currently using it usb mode which is very slow.
    thank you

    since you don't say dual core G5 i assume you will need a PCI-X card (i'm pretty sure only dual core G5 use PCI-Express).
    the firmTek is a nice card and has the ability to boot from attached drives. it does have the disadvantage of only supporting SATA I i.e. 1.5Gbs and is on the expensive side (approaching $200), where as many of the cheaper cards (~$80-90) almost all use Silicon Image chipset support SATA II i.e. 3Gbps but don't have ability to boot from attached drives..
    so it kind of depends on your needs.. if you don't need to boot from the attached drives you can get a less expensive card, with faster SATA II capabilities for $80-90.
    just do a google search for pci-x esata card... owc is a good place to start as well.. i can confirm that multi-interface externals can be a bad choice as well... i got slower than USB 2 speeds from a Seagate Free agent triple interface drive and got transfer speeds faster than my internal drive by taking same drive out of the Seagate enclosure and putting it into an OWC esata only enclosure (dual drive enclosure for $67).. i have a norco, 4 port, pci-x estat card.

  • Emulate a PCI CAN-HS Card

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to emulate a PCI CAN-HS card, such as the simulation already possible of a NI-DAQmx Card.
    That way I will be able to run my program without the card wich is an important point for debugging my application.
    Thanks.

    Hey Olivier,
    Currently there is no such feature to emulate CAN card in NI-CAN driver.

  • HT201209 How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account?

    How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account? I have tried to purchase a gift card online, but it just credits it to my account; I cannot use it to credit her new account therefore I cannot create that account.

    There are intructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. log out of your account, find a free a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' :
    click on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    Agree to the terms and fill in the details, and you should get 'none' on the payments screen.
