Can't add simulated SCXI chassis in MAX

Hi all
I wanted to test some hardware by simulating it on my workstation. I'm using Labview 8.2 and MAX 4.1.0
When I try and simulate the SCXI 1000 chassis, the first dialog box appears with the chassis communicator dropdown control greyed out. The chassis address box is available. When I try and save it keeps asking to select a communicating DAQ device but it doesn't seem to have a spot for that. I don't know if I'm missing something or if I need an update to MAX. Anyone had this issue?
Thanks in advance
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
You're right... the SCXI 1600 cannot be simulated according to the following KnowledgeBase article:
What are NI-DAQmx Simulated Devices and How Do I Use Them?
Are you having trouble simulating any of the other modules, or just the 1600?

Can't configure a SCXI chassis (PXI-1010) with a PXI-8176 and a PXI-6052E.

I have a PXI-1010 chassis with a PXI-8176 running Windows 2000. In the rightmost PXI slot, I have a PXI-6052E. The remaining PXI slots are either empty or have misc. modules in them. I have a SCXI-1520 in the leftmost SCXI slot.
I am trying to get MAX to recognize my SCXI chassis with the SCXI-1520. When I try to add the SCXI chassis in MAX by right-clicking "Devices and Interfaces" or "NI-DAQmx", I leave the communication mode to communicate on the PXI backplane, choose SCXI slot zero, and find that the communication device field is greyed out where I want to choose the PXI-6052E. For some reason,the wizard used to add an SCXI chassis does not see my PXI-6052E pluged in to the leftmost sl
ot. Strangely, MAX does see the PXI-6052E in the "Devices and Interfaces" tree. I verified that the 6052E is working correctly. I also verified that the pxisys.ini file is in the WINNT directory. What is the problem?

I am first trying to install the SCXI chassis using the SCXI 1520 user manual. I put a PXI-6052E in the right-most PXI slot and the SCXI 1520 in a SCXI slot. On page 1-12 of the SCXI-1520 user manual, it instructs me to power up the chassis, right-click on MAX "devices and interfaces", choose the correct chassis, and click finish. The problem is, after I click finish, a window appears that forces me to choose a DAQ device. The SCXI chassis doesn't configure correctly because the wizard doesn't see the PXI-6052E.

Can't add network devices in NI MAX

Hello everyone,
I am very new to LabVIEW and I am having a problem I can't solve on my own. I am trying to connect to a device via TCP/IP. Right now, it is just a printer hooked up the company network to test how this works (we'll get an upgrade for manufacturing equipment quite soon and I don't want to completly embarass myself when the technicians come here ).
However, when I open NI MAX and right-click on "Devices and Interfaces" the "Create new" prompt doesn't appear. I feel kind of stupid to ask this question, but does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you!
Qbach

Dennis,
I have NI VISA installed, as you can see in the attached image.
Is it maybe a problem with the missing/not functioning devices in the device manager?
Sam, absolutley no problem. As I mentioned, I am new to LabVIEW and don't now how to specify my problems without confusing anyone

PXI-1052 not detecting SCXI chassis

Full disclosure: I've submitted a support request on this too, but knowing that it may take some time to go through I thought I'd ping the discussion boards for any ideas people here might have as well.
I have a PXI-1052 PXI/SCXI combo chassis with a PXI-6289 card serving as the SCXI controller. Up to this point, the chassis has been controlled by a PXI-8105 embedded controller running WinXP. We are changing this. The PXI-8105 controller is being removed and instead we will use an MXI card (PXI-8360) to allow us to control the chassis via an external computer running Win7 32-bit.
With the chassis on and connected, using the Win7 computer I can see the PXI slots and the cards in them are correctly identified by model number. However, I cannot see the SCXI portion of the chassis, and when I try to manually add an SCXI chassis I am told that there is no DAQ device installed to serve as the SCXI controller. In addition, the PXI-GPIB card which is also installed is acting a little strangely. It allows me to scan for instruments, and it sees all of my GPIB instruments OK, but I don’t see a GPIB bus defined separately under Devices and Interfaces the way I did on the old controller—the instruments just show up listed under the PXI card.
I have read the Knowledgebase article on auto-detecting SCXI instruments, but it doesn’t seem to offer anything helpful. Everything works fine if I put the old controller back in and use it again, so this isn’t an issue of a bad card/chassis or the wrong card or a blown fuse or SCXI power not being on/set correctly or the DAQ being in the wrong slot. (The ONLY hardware difference is the controller being replaced by MXI; everything else is exactly the same.) All NI software on the Win7 machine is installed and up-to-date, and I even reinstalled everything just to make sure I hadn’t gotten a bad install. It seems to me like it must be either a driver or a configuration issue, but I’ve combed through the Windows Device Manager and the settings for all cards involved and can’t find any differences.
Screen shots attached. Any ideas?
Solved!

Hello Sara_J,
I'm going to post to the forums with my suggestions from my email so that if we find the answer it will be available to the community as well.
As long as the 6289 is showing up incorrectly you're not going to be able to use the SCXI side of the chassis. The problem looks like your 6289 is not being associated as a DAQmx device. The alias it has in MAX is showing it as a generic VISA device. You'll have to manually associate the 6289 in device driver. Normally it would show up under Data Acquisition Devices with the NI logo in Device Manager. Since its not showing up correctly it may be located elsewhere, most likely under a PCI Standard PCI-to-PCI bridge (this is how the MXI card looks in Device Manger).
Once you find it, right click and select Update Driver Software...>>Browse my computer for driver software>>Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. You should then be able to pick the appropriate driver from the list.
If this does not fix the issue then I believe there may be a corruption in your installation of DAQmx. You can download the newest version (9.9) here: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-9.9/4707/en/ .

How do I add a SCXI-1160 to my system?

This falls into the 'had some extra parts, let's use them' category.
My current configuration is PCI-6221 into a SCXI-1001 Chassis with a 1349 Cable Adapter. The only modules I have in this chassis right now are a 1102/b/c with a 1303 terminal block and a 1180 feedthrough with a 1302 terminal block.
I've come across a spare SCXI-1160 module with 1342 breakout connector. I'd like to use this for some switching tasks rather than the analog outputs of my 6221 (need more channels than the card has, which is two). This module came to me with no documentation or cabling so I'm unsure how to connect it to my current system.
If someone could point me in the right direction for the correct cable to purchase I'd appreciate it, and input on the connection setup as well. Much thanks
Ralph
Still confused after 8 years.

Hi Ralph,
You shouldn't need any extra cabling to be able to control or interface
with your SCXI-1160 relay module. The 1160 can be controlled from
the PCI-6221 M-Series card (via the 1349 adapter), and the 1324
terminal block provides the interface for the relays. Check out this tutorial for more information on connecting signals to the 1160.
Try installing the 1160, adding it to your SCXI chassis in MAX, and try
switching with the Switch Soft Front Panel. Let me know how this
goes.
Have a great day!

Can I use a SCXI system with 1102Cs and 1120D AND control a GPIO on RTSI0?

I have a complex system with multiple DAQ cards and a SCXI chasis on a 6341.
I need to place a GPIO software controlled digital signal on RTSI0 (preferably).
Can I run the SCXI chassis AND use the 6341 card to control a TTL line on RTSI0? Getting to the HW is difficult, so I would like to know this before I set out. NI tech support has not been helpful getting this resolved.
Thanks

Hey Jed,
I just wanted to let you know that our support team is working on the issue, but if anyone else has other options we are welcome to any suggestions.

Can't rename can chassis in MAX (9188XT)

Hi community,
I am unable to rename my NI 9188XT chassis under MAX. I can change the hostname, but not the actual device alias. Its not a name conflict as I can not rename it to anything, whatever I type it changes back to cDAQ9188XT. I have restarted the unit several times. A screenshot is attached.
Any reason behind this?
thanks!

I have the same problem.
I don't like to leave the default name in case I change chassis to run the same program. I would have to reconfigure max.

Verify SCXI chassis: Configuration specifies a SCXI -1600 module but nothing was detected

Hello NI Engineer,
I am using SCXI 1001 chassis with SCXI 1600 control module, SCXI 1520 signal conditioning module and SCXI 1314 connector block to acquire data from strain gage. Once I right clicked SCXI 1001 under device and Interfaces in MAX>> test>>I found a pop up window as “Verify SCXI chassis: Configuration specifies a SCXI -1600 module but nothing was detected”.
This is what I did. I connected wires from strain gage to SCXI 1314 connector block which is then connected to SCXI 1520, placed in chassis. I connected SCXI 1600 controller module to computer using a USB 2.0 cable. As soon as I switched on chassis, I found a pop up at task bar as “SCXI 1600 is detected”. I opened MAX and right clicked NI SCXI -1001 under devices and interfaces>> Properties>>selected the accessory under module tab and got “Configuration complete” message at top of pop up window, But once I right clicked NI SCXI 1001 >> test >> I found an error as mentioned above. Also once I right clicked NI SCXI 1520, under NI SCXI 1001>> Configure TEDS>> I was not able to click scan for HW TEDS option (i.e. It’s not shown up). How to overcome these two errors? Please help me. I also attached screen shots with this. I am using windows XP.
Thanks
Dhaya.

Hi Dhaya,
You seems in the correct direction to configure the SCXI hardware. There is nothing to test on the SCXI-1001 chassis instead you can test on the individual channels inside the SCXI. SCXI 1600 will auto detect the modules inside the SCXI Chassis and display it in MAX. The next step that you may need to do is to configure the Accessories (Connector Block) that is attached to the SCXI-1520 mentioned.
Once you configure the connector block, you should be able to test SCXI-1520 channel.
In regards to TEDS, Are you using SCXI-1314T connector block (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/13735) which is for TEDS sensors?
I hope that this helps

how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

Can't add files to two different phones

I have created a ringtone for my iphone 4s and loaded just fine. I tried to add the ringtone to my fiances phone and I get the red circle with the line through it so I can't add anything to her phone. No photos, music etc. I tried signing out of Itunes and into her account but still nothing. Computer is authorized. Ringtone is in the Tones folder in ITunes but just can't drag and drop in hers but can in my Iphone 4s. Any suggestions?

I think your method is wrong. You should not change the m4a file to m4r file in it's original location which is for music library.
Refer proper steps here for creating ringtones:
Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version”
You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
*Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device. Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.
