Can't see IVI catagory in MAX

Hi All
I got a problem with MAX and IVI
I have installed IVI Compliance Package 3.3 And I can see under the Category "Software" i MAX, but I can't see the IVI category in MAX.
What can be wrong? I have tried to repair my installation with no result.
I also got these programs installed:
IVI Shared Components
IVI VISA COM Standard Components
National Instruments IVI Specific Drivers
National Instruments Software
BTW, what do you thing of using IVI drivers instead off VISA?
Hope you can help
best regards
Bjarne
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Bjarne,
You can try to remove the IVI Compliance installation from the Add/Remove Programs.
Reboot.
Then Download DAQmx8.8: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1085/lang/en and install it(by doing this you are upgrading MAX aswell).
Reboot.
Install IVI Compliance Package 3.3 again.
Please let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Can not see a sbRIO in MAX running on a virtual machine

I am trying to connect a sbRIO-9606 to a Windows 7 virtual machine (VMWare) running on a MacPro. I can open a CMD prompt and ping the sbRIO but when I run MAX, it does not appear in Remote Systems.
The virtual NIC is bridged to the pyhsical one (on the MAC)
Does anyone have experience doing this, or know why I cannot see the sbRIO?

Hi jaketc,
I've had similar issues at times depending on how my host and guest operating sytems network interfaces are configured. It sounds like your settings are correct (bridged), but it is difficult to guarantee. The first step I usually take is disable any network interfaces (on the host and guest OS) that are not critical to connecting to the remote target.
A more generic answer is to walk through the troubleshooting steps in this document, but it won't cover the virtualized OS considerations of your setup:
Why Does My CompactRIO Controller or Single-Board RIO Not Show Up in Measurement & Automation Explor...
Because you can ping the target, it sounds like the Single-Board RIO already has an IP address, you know what it is, and ethernet communication can be established. When I've been in that situation in the past, I've been able to manually add the RIO target to MAX. To find a system that is already configured with an IP address, simply right-click on Remote Systems and select Create New. Enter the appropriate configuration information in the dialog box, and MAX will manually place that system in the Remote Systems listing and all tasks will function properly.

My iPad Mini display is dim so i can barely see anything and I maxed up the back lighting is it broken already??

Bought an iPad mini not long ago and the display suddenly went "black", there is absolutely no brightness in the display rendering it useless. I can make out the icons when i sit down in the dark and i can see the back lighting is set to max. I live in denmark and we have no apple store, its still in the warranty period, but where do i take it for repair? Can it be a software bug? I want to fix the problem fast. When i sit in absolute darkness with the wall plug connected I can see one backlight lighting up from the buttom right corner where the speaker is.

Assuming that you have a credit card in the UK, with a valid billing address for that credit card that matches the credit card statement ....
Launch the app store app. Go to the Featured Tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen. Your ID is accessible in the lower left corner. Tap on the ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go down to Country/Region and change the store to the UK in there.

Can't see my 6602 or 6014 in MAX DAQmx devices.

Hi
I have a 6602 Counter Timer and a 6014 in my computer and I have recently installed version 8.5 of NIDAQmx together with version 4.2 of MAX. Now I can't see either device in MAX. I am correct in thinking these devices are not supported by NIDAQmx? Will I need to install the traditional NIDAQ drivers and use them? I am hoping to write some software in C# (Visual Studio.NET 2005) to setup and use the devices.
Kind regards
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
The PCI/PXI 6602 and PCI/PXI 6014 are supported by DAQmx 8.5 as mentioned here:
http://www.ni.com/support/daq/versions_pci_pxi.htm
You should not need to install the traditional DAQ drivers as well. Did Windows detect the cards when you restarted the computer after installing DAQmx? You can check from Device Manager to see if the cards are detected and installed (should be under Data Acquisition Devices). If they aren't there, then they won't show up in MAX. You can try removing the cards or replacing them in different PCI slots and see if they are detected then.
If they are installed in Device Manager, it could be a corrupted MAX database problem. You can fix that by deleting the <National Instruments folder>\MAX\Data folder and restarting the computer. Make a backup of that folder somewhere just in case.
Let me know if that works!

I can not see my CF-6004 device in MAX

Hi,
I have HP IPAQ PocketPC with Windows Mobile 2005, CF-6004
device, PDA 8.0.1 module and I installed DAQmx Base 2.0 on PocketPC. I followed instructions in documentation I get with DAQmx Base 2.0 and PocketPC is correctly conncted to PC.
But I can not see CF-6004 in MAX?!?
I found out somewhere that DAQmx Base support CF-6004 on Pocket PC 2003 OS but I did not found that information for Windows Mobile 2005 OS!
Thanks for help!
Andrej

Hello Andrej,
Devices that use the NI-DAQmx Base driver will not appear with Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Instead, you should use the NI-DAQmx Base Configuration Utility found within LabVIEW under Tools > NI-DAQmx Base Configuration Utility.
Follow the instructions in the following Knowledgebase for loading the correct task list for use with the DAQmx Base shipping examples:
KB 3RRF2088: NI-DAQmx Base Task Configuration Utility Does Not Show PDA DAQ Device
Also, with the new DAQmx Base 2.1, you can now use the CF-6004 Compact Flash Device with the LabVIEW 8.20 PDA Module to target Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
I hope this helps,

Unable to see IVI drivers in NI max

Hi. I am not able to see IVI driver's list under IVI tab of NI max

Hello,
This may not be the right forum for your issue. This forum is specifically for people with questions about using the Driver Development Kit that allows users to create their own driver for National Instruments devices on unsupported operating systems.
I wouuld recommend posting on the GPIB/Serial/VISA/IVI forum.

Can't see conflicts item in iSync menu

Hello,
I am using OS X in Swedish, which probably means I will not use the exact English terms in my question - apologies!
I have a Nokia N73 which I have been syncronizing with iCal, using bluetooth/iSync 3.0.2. Now changes I make to the phone calender aren't transferred when I sync. I can't understand why, but wonder if it has something to do with the principles for resolving conflicts between the two. I am now trying to view the "conflicts" item in iSync, but can't find it. The "show status" box is checked, but I still can't see a "conflicts" menu item. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? This is soooo frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Helena

This is for PE4, so things might be slightly different in other versions. In the main tab area, make sure you are in Edit. Then below, click on the Project tab. Your Assets will display there. Exactly how they display will depend on your display settings. If it has been Imported, it should appear there.
Now, with Menus with Motion Backgrounds, remember that there is a 30 sec. max limit to the Duration of a Menu in PE (do not know if it was bumped up in PE7). When I create a Motion Background AV, I do so on a Sequence in PrPro2. PE does not have Sequences (kind of like mini-Projects), so if I were using PE, I'd do a separate Project and would edit my Motion Background to fit, then Export as a DV-AVI Type II, for Import into my Project. With PrPro and Encore (my authoring program), there is a 40 Duration limit, and that is what I do. I also Export my Audio as an elemental stream, rather than use a muxed AV file, and Export these separately, then Import them separately into Encore. Now, I do not know if PE automatically truncates the Duration of the Motion Background Asset to 30 sec., of if one needs to do this separately. Steve, or Robert can fill in that blank for you. However, my method should work fine, but might include an extra step, if PE does the trimming automatically.
Now, if you are using an AV Asset from the Template list, you will probably have to Import that separately, as I do not think that PE uses the .EM format, that links Menus (.PSD's) and other Assets for Motion Backgrounds (.WMV, .MPEG, .MOV, or other). Again, one of the PE experts can tell you about that.
Good luck,
Hunt

Error -1073807339 when using IVI (setup in MAX) to initialize instrument

I'm using LabVIEW 2014 and the most recent version of the Measurement & Automation Expert (MAX) to communicate with an Agilent 33500B series function generator with IVI drivers on a Windows 8.1 computer. (I also see this problem when trying to communicate with an Agilent oscilloscope). I've used the MAX to create an IVI logical name and tied the name to the appropriate driver session following the instructions in: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4594/en/. In LabVIEW, I have created the IVI instrument, tied it to the appropriate logical name, initialize the instrument, and then close the session. When I run this program, the Initialization block runs (resetting the parameters on the function generator) AND THEN I get the following error:
"Error -1073807339 occurred at IviFgen Initialize With Options.vi
Possible reason(s):
Primary Error: (HEX 0xBFFF0015) TImeout expired before operation completed.
Complete call chain:
IviFgen Initialize With Options.vi
IviFgen Initialize.vi
<myfilename>.vi
I read in the documentation that I should not simultaneously initialize with options in LabVIEW and in MAX, so I am using the Initialize block which still calls Initialize With Options. The same error occurs when I:
1. Uncheck all the options in MAX and run the code
2. Uncheck all the options in MAX and replace the LabVIEW Initialize block with Initialize With Options and run the code
3. Add a Wait block between the initialization and the close blocks and run the code.
However, I am able to communicate with the function generator when I use the VISA Test Panel (opened in the MAX) and send it a VISA command. I am also able to communicate with the function generator if I use the VISA I/O blocks instead of the IVI blocks in LabVIEW.
Is it really a timeout issue? If so, how do I change the timing? If not, what is going on?
Thanks.

According to the MAX they are correct (IVI driver for the Agilent 33519B downloaded from the NI website). When I run the IVI Initialize block any frequency, amplitude, offset, etc. settings on the function generator are reset to the default values. So, something is being sent to the instrument.
However, I've also tried adding the General Error Handler block right after the Initializaiton block to cancel the -1073807339 error. Then, I add the IviFgen Configure Standard Waveform [STD] block to set the function generator frequency. The program throws an error that looks like a resource problem:
"Error -1074130544 occurred at IviFgen IVI Error Converter.vi
Possible reason(s):
The session handle is not valid.
Complete call chain:
IviFgen IVI Error Converter.vi
IviFgen Configure Standard Waveform [STD].vi
<myViName.vi>
What could be the reason for an invalid session handle? I've followed the NI tutorials on setting up IVI instruments in MAX and in LabVIEW.
Okay, this is new information. Nothing in your previous posts mention that the initialztion did anything at all besides return the timeout error. The invalid session handle is because you closed the session.
I'm having trouble following your descriptions.

Can't see entire destop on a TV

I have connected my Powerbook to my TV using the DVI to VGA converter. My TV will take a max resolution of 640x480. I have set the display to mirror and set the resolution to 640x480. I can see it on my TV but the top and bottom are cut off and I can't see the entire desktop. I can't see the menu bar at the top and can see the very top of the dock.
I just can't seem to figure out how to see the whole thing. Am I out of luck?
This is an older laptop that has been sitting in the closet for a while, I decided to use it so that I can use iTunes in the living room.

The problem is that it does not detect the display as a TV instead it is "VGA Color Display". And when it isn't detected as a TV, the overscan option isn't available.
I changed my my theory on this and just plugged in to S-video and that solved my problem. There may be others that are experiencing this so I will leave this open a little while and see if there is a solution.

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

Vi find resource can't see 1394 camera

use "visa find resource", can't see my fireware camera, only can see serial ASRL*, but on Max, I can see it,
the same thing in CVI viFindResource, with setting /?*,   /FIREWIRE?*, only can see ASRL.

yes, the sony dfw-x700 in device manager of windows, MAX also can see it, and CMU 1394 demo application from Carnegie Mellon University can find the camera.
and I got a code from some where ,
            //open a VISA resource manager session
    status = viOpenDefaultRM (&defaultRM);
            //find the device in the system.
            status = viFindRsrc(defaultRM,
            "FIREWIRE?*INSTR",
            VI_NULL,VI_NULL,instrDescriptor);
suppose it should return the fireware device ?
when I use "/?*INSTR", I can only see the Serial device.
what I want is directly using VISA to access fireware device without using imaq driver.                                                                       ,),

Unable to see PXIe-8133 in MAX on host computer

Hi,
I seem to be running into a very basic problem. I'm trying to use the PXIe-8133 system in Real-Time but I am unable to detect the system in MAX. I can't even see an "Unconfigured RT System" with IP Address of 0.0.0.0 as it shows in the documentation. I've installed all of the drivers for the PXIe 8133 on my host computer found here:
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2030/lang/en, but this has not solved the problem.
One thing to note, when I attach a monitor to the PXIe-8133, it says: "System State: No Software Installed" and also "Can't Find Suitable Device for Drive C". But only one of our 2 PXIe-8133's is displaying this and we are not able to see the PXIe-8133 system in MAX even in the system which does not display these warning messages.
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
Steven

Hey Steven,
So a couple things to make sure of:
1. Reboot your PXI and when it is rebooting up keep hitting the delete key until you see an output on your screen that gives you different options to select.
2. Go over to Real Time menu (think it is like the fourth option from the left on the top).
3. Once in here the first option is what mode of Real-Time do you want to access. Select LabVIEW Real-Time Safe Mode.
4. Go to the last menu option and save changes. This will reboot into the mode we just set.
Once it is rebooted, go into MAX on your computer that is on the same subnet as this PXI and refresh remote systems. You should now see a device with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. Make the changes to the IP address that you want. Once you save those changes it will reboot the PXI. If you are still not able to get the target showing, try to go back into the bios and there is also another option to choose under the Real-Time heading to reset IP by hardware switch, software or none. Change that to software. Save again and then it will reboot and see if you can now see it in MAX and make the corresponding IP changes.

Two Macs can't see each other on same network

We have an iMac and a Mac Book Pro on the same apple network at home. The iMac can see and connect to the Pro and exchange files but the Pro can't see the iMac in Go > Network. All sharing settings are the same. Any thoughts welcomed.

How many machines are on your network? If you have over 7, then here should be an entry called "All..." in Shared in the Sidebar. Click on that. It will show you all the servers that are available on your network. You can also get to this list via Computer (Command-Shift-C) and click on Network.
Shared in the sidebar shows a max of 7 servers, with Back To My Mac's at the top (if any), then servers you have mounted share points on (if any), then the top 7 (in alphabetical order) servers in Network (a.k.a. "All...").
Hope that helps.

I can't see the apps in the grid section...

Since upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1, I can't see the apps in the grid section below the 10 Essential listing?
I can see the "New and Noteworthy", the "10 Essentials", the stuff to the right like the Quick Links,
Top Paid Apps, Top Free Apps, Top Grossing Apps. It use to show 1-120 of 2156 or something similar,
with a grid of the apps icons; but now I just have a white space. I run Win7 64-bit.

Yes I have. I forgot to mention that I was in the App Store and was referring to the Production catagory, but it happens in all the catagories

Can't see IVI catagory in MAX
