Can't see the "DAQ assistant express VI" in LabView7 express

i am using the LabView 7 express avaluation package, and trying to use my PCI 6132 DAQ card with it.
i cannot see the "DAQ assistant express VI" simbol in the "input" box, and therefore cannot connect to the DAQ.
all drivers are installed, and i manage to log data directly from the DAQ, using the "Measurement & Automation" software.
any ideas?
doe's the evaluation version even supports this DAQ?

GilKlar,
Did you install DAQ first, or LabVIEW? The most common cause of this problem is that DAQ support was installed before LabVIEW support. In this case, the DAQ driver will not find any valid installations of LabVIEW and thus, will not install the necessary VIs. Please try repairing the DAQ installation and making sure that support for LabVIEW is checked.
If this does not solve your problem, please let us know what version of the DAQ driver you are using, as well as how you are acquiring data in MAX.
Hope this helps,

I do not see the DAQ Assistant Express on Functions Input palette.

Software config: Windows XP machine, Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4 for PCI 6602. I do not see the DAQ Assistant express on Functions>>Input palette. I get error message when I place the Instrument I/O assistant on the block diagram:-" Measurement and Automation Explorer or Instrument I/O Assistant not installed correctly. Please install from LabVIEW CD". I've tried uninstalling, re-installing driver and rebooting my computer several times.

Hello PJ-SJM,
The DAQ Assistant Express VI installs with the NI-DAQmx Driver and not Traditional NI-DAQ. The good news is that the PCI-6602 is supported in both Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx. Check this KnowlegeBase article to find out what version of NI-DAQmx you need and then search the Drivers and Updates page for to find the version you need. Once you download and install the driver you should see the DAQ Assistant Express VI on your functions pallet.
The Instrument I/O Assistant is not for use with DAQ cards, it is for using other communication protocol like serial or GPIB. However, if you need this you can install the Device Driver CD and it should work after that. Note: The device driver CD that came with LabVIEW should also contain the correct version of NI-DAQmx.
I hope this helps, and have a great Friday!

Is the DAQ Assistant compatible with LabView7?

I am equipped with LabView7 and a NI DAQ-Pad 6015 and am trying to monitor temperature using two thermocouples. I have searched for some tutorials online but most suggest using DAQ assistant, which is not listed in the input section of my functions palette. I have downloaded the most recent NI-DAQmx driver which is supposed to be compatible with LabView 7.x. I'm not sure if this means that it is compatible with LabView 7.0. I still do not see the DAQ assistant appear.
Any help or suggestions (about DAQ assistant or how to program in LabView7 to solve my problem) is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have installed DAQmx 8.1 and now the DAQ assistance appears. However, when I select Analog Input >> Temperature >> Thermocouple and arrive at the physical channels screen, it says "No supported devices found."
I also notice that when I open the Measurement & Automation explorer, it does not appear to detect my DAQ pad, even though the light on it is blinking Ready. A window pops up and says "Can not find RTE directory: C:\Windows\system32\cvirte" followed by "Unable to open c:\program files\national instruments\max\bin\cvirte.rsc". After clicking okay to both windows, I check under Devices and Interfaces to see that my DAQpad 6015 is not listed.
Previously before I had uninstalled everything and reinstalled using DAQmx 8.1 my device was detected, but now it doesn't seem to be detected anymore.
Also, I just realized that while it says everywhere that I have LabView7, when I start the program, the opening window has LabView7 Express written on it. I hope this isn't the cause of all the troubles.

Why can I only open DAQ assistant properties using the windiws profile I registered labview on?

I have Labview 7.1 installed on Windows 2000. When generating block diagrams for codes, the properties dialog box for the daq assistant can only be opened when logged into our system on the profile originally used to install the software or when logged in as administrator. All other properties dialog boxes open under any user profile.

I do not use Windows 2000, but I expect that the folder in which this function is held does not have a 'Full Control' access setting for all users.
See if you can change the folder profile to allow access and full control to all users.
Hope this helps.

Itunes can't see the Airport Express that I'm connecting to... Wierd

I have my AE set up as a WAP on an ethernet system. I have iTunes over ethernet selected, but now my wireless box can't see the AE even though I'm sending this note over the AE. Does selecting iTunes over ethernet disable the iTunes over wireless?
The AE is connected to a router, so it is not distributing IP addresses.
I guess that I should also mention that it's preventing me from seeing other machines on the network and sharing my library.
Help??

Unless you've explicitly disabled "Distribute IP addresses" using Airport Admin Utility, your Express is set up as a router and is distributing IP addresses, which is consistent with the fact that you can't see the other machines.

I did set up my Airport Express to extend my existing network. It did ok but I can't see the name assigned to the Airport Express name in my available networks. Is that normal?

If the AirPort Express is extending your network it is using the same wireless network name as your "main" router.
Your main router and the Express act like one "big" network now.
Your computer will connect to either the main router or the Express automatically....depending on where it sees the best signal.

Fourier Transform and the DAQ Assistant

Hi,
I'm trying to take the fourier transform of a analog voltage measurement in Labview 8.6 and I'm having a problem with the data.
The measurement is an anaolog input voltage signal taken using the USB-6211 box. I am acquiring the signal on ports 15 and 16 (differential) with the DAQ Assistant at a rate of 5KHz, 200 samples. The setup works perfect thankfully, and a very nice waveform plot is generated on the VI. I would now like to add a fourier transform of this plot to do some frequency analysis.
I found the FFT function, but when I tried to add the DAQ output to it, I got an error about dynamic data. It takes me to a screen which I don't understand about dynamic data conversion, and I'm not sure what to do from this point. My FFT graph is basically just a flat white line, which is wrong.
How can I just take the basic fourier transform of a waveform in this setup?

Hi
Your thinking is not bad. You have only some scaling problems. You may toy with the vi I am sending. Change the log/linear control and see the result.
You will find all information you need here http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4541 and http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4541. The dt value is the reciprocal of the sample frequency(1/x) The unit is second, and it will give you the time interval between two samples.
Also note how I use the "Dynamic To Waveform Array.vi" to convert the dynamic data. This VI is not documented by NI, but you find it here ...vi.lib\express\express shared\transition.llb\Dynamic To Waveform Array.vi
Good luck
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How to deal with the Error-89130 about the DAQ assistant?

Once prss the "test" button of the DAQ assistant, the "Error-89130 occurred at DAQ Assistant" show up. It`s no doublt that the labview programme with a DAQ assistant can`t be run and instead the " Error-88303 occurred at DAQMx star Task Vi:1" or " Error-88304..." show up while other labview programme without DAQ assistant can run corrrectly. I have reseted or reinstalled the DAQmx, but it didn`t work. Any other ideas for troubleshooting this? Thanks

Please refer to this KB, and see whether it works. If problem also exists, please tell the DAQmx version and the DAQ card name.

How can i set the Daq rate on the compactDAQ NI 9237?

I am using the NI 9237 module in the CompactDAQ 9172 chassis, with a single channel. I am using LabVIEW 8.2. I cannot find any software where I can set the DAQ rate on the module. The "daq assistant" in LabVIEW, the "Measurement and Automation explorer test panel and the example VI's all seem stuck at a rate of 5000 samples/sec. I only need 32 samples/sec. The software offers an input variable for "rate" but does not respond. Note that in the"Measurment and automation explorer test panel seems to allow higher rates but not lower. Am I missing something? My application has been crashing from time to time for not being able the retreive the data fast enough, I thought to minimize the rate to lower the transfer load on the operating system.

Hello Alfonso,
It sounds like you might be getting errors -200279 and -200278. (In the future, if you post the actual error codes, it helps us to know exactly what is happening). Error -200279 happens when you are performing a hardware-timed acquisition (meaning the data is sampled according to a clock signal on your board), but your LabVIEW program is not reading the values from the buffer allocated for that task in computer memory fast enough. Basically it's a buffer overflow error. It means older samples have been overwritten before you attempted to read them out. As the error message suggests, "increasing the buffer size, reading the data more frequently, or specifying a fixed number of samples to read instead of reading all available samples might correct the problem." For more information on this error, please see the KB (DAQmx) Error -200279 During a Continuous, Buffered Acquisition.
Error -200278 happens most often when you have configured a finite acquisition, but are calling the DAQmx Read function in a loop. If you want to perform a finite acquisition, you should only call DAQmx Read once. For more information on this error, see the KB Error -200278 at DAQmx Read.
Finally, please refer to Abhinav's earlier post about the sample rate on the 9237 module. As he described, the NI-DAQmx 8.3 driver will only allow you to set the sample clock to integer divisions of 50k (50,000/n, where n can be 1, 2, 3...13). Since the maximum divisor is 13, the smallest sample rate that can be used is 3.846 kS/s. You can check what value the driver is actually using for the sample clock by reading from the SampClk.Rate property of the DAQmx Timing property node.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions about what I've described.
Best regards,

Airport Extreme green light but can't see the wifi network

Hello, coming back from the holidays I can't see my Wifi network anymore (From PS3, Phone, Computers ..etc.). My airport has a greenlight and the internet is working fine if my computer is connected with an Ethernet cable. I re-did the configuration many times and I did a hard reset of both my modem and the airport. It is not setted to a hidden connection. All the settings are basic like before. The only difference is that I did the update to 7.6.4.

I think you were right, my airport was broken and I noticed that at the end of the configuration process where there's a green checkmark it was written in the bottom that a wifi device wasn't working properly. Nothing could be done to make it work though.
I bought a new Airport Express now but I still have a major problem. I was able to configure it through wifi with my iMac without any problem and now it is connected to the internet via wifi perfectly but i STILL can't see the network with either my Android phone or my PS3 console !?
- Brand new airport express
- configured to "create a wifi network" with a WPA2 password using the simple steps of the airport utility
- Airport Utility 5.6.1
I did reset the airport express a few times with the utility and by removing the power cord. I also did reset my iMac and I can still connect to the wifi just fine with it.

I have an iPhone 4s. My problem is that I can't see the icon of FaceTime and iMessage. I need to use these apps. What should I do?

Can't see the bios

Hi all
Please help!
I think I am having problems with the PCI Express card so I went into BIOS and chose the on the board graphics option disabled the PCI option. Now when I boot I simply have a blank monitor screen to look at! I can't remember exactly what I did because I can't see the BIOS screen.
My PC is the HP Media Centre m7000 the m7755UK version. S/N CZX707MRSJ, running VISTA
thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
That being the case, there isn't really any option other than to replace the graphics card - which will more than likely resolve this issue.

In Labview 8.5, what happens if the signal input exceeds the signal input range set by the DAQ Assistant?

Hello all,
This should be a pretty simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer on-line and don't currently have the capabilities to test this:
I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 and have a VI that imports sensor data through the DAQ Assistant. In the configuration tab there is a signal input range. What happens if my sensor exceeds this range? Will I get a warning? Will the value default to the maximum (or minimum)? I was interested in writing in some code to display an error as I approach the limits of this range, but was unsure if I also needed to include some code to display an error if the range is exceeded as well.
Thanks for the help,
Tristan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Tristan,
The behavior depends on the range you choose and the device you are using.
If you are using a device with only one valid input range, we will use this range even if you set a smaller minimum and maximum in the DAQ Assistant. Thus, if your device only supports ±10V and you set the range to ±8V, you will still continue to get valid data after your sensor exceeds 8V until you approach 10V. Once you reach the limit of the range of your device, the output will "rail" and just return the maximum value until the signal drops below the maximum again.
Note: A device that is nominally ±10V usually has some overshoot (like ±10.2V) that is typically specced in the manual.
However, if you are using a device with multiple input ranges then things get more complex.
The NI-DAQmx drive will pick the smallest range that fully encompasses the range you choose. So, suppose your device supports the following input ranges: ±0.2V, ±1, ±5V, and ±10V and you choose 0V - 3V as the range in the DAQ assistant. The NI-DAQmx driver is going to look at your input range and the list of input ranges that your hardware supports and choose the smallest that encompasses the full range you set. This would the ±5V, because that's the only range that contains up to 3V. As a result, any input signal between ±5V will be returned and any outside this range will "rail" to either the maximum or minimum value.
We do this because using smaller ranges make more effective use of the resolution of the ADC. Thus we try to use the most efficient range based on what you request without picking a range that will cause you to miss data.
Let me know if I can clarify this further.
