Cannot see PCI firewire card in MAX

Hi
I have a firewire camera connected to my computer via a PCI card. Using the software that came with the camera, I am able to capture images easily so there is clearly no hardware problem. However, I cannot seem to access the camera using MAX. If I go to the configuration tree and select My System > Devices and interfaces, all I see is PXI system (Unidentified) and Serial and Parallel. ie. I do not see NI-IMAXdx. If I select Software, I see all of the following on the list (and more) NI Vision, NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQ for 1394, NI-IMAQdx.
Many thanks,
Gary

Hi,
Without wanting to just throw links at you, have a look at this KB and try the suggestion; otherwise post back!

  • MS6524G Cannot start PCI Firewire card

    A customer of mine has the following problem:
    He has a 2yr old system, purchased from Tiny Computers with the above MB. He has now tried 3 different OHCI-compatible Firewire PCI cards using 3 different chipsets and gets the same problem each time.
    On boot, the card appears to be recognised & installed correctly by Win XP but is unable to be used. Checking device manager shows code 10 error, device cannot be started. Have tried Firewire card in all 3 pci slots with same result in each case. Used MSI liveupdate to flash BIOS to latest, with no change in symptoms. Win XP completely up to date.
    Is there a fundamental incompatibility between this MB & PCI-based firewire?
    Thanks in advance.

    Tried all 3 slots (tried with & without CNR modem).
    Have not reinstalled WinXP. Everything appears to be fine with the WinXP installation & my customer is a little nervous about that.

  • FireWirer 400 Ports not working, Fix and/or Add PCI FireWire card

    Here are some details about my G5:
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G5
    Machine Model:PowerMac7,3
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    Number Of CPUs:2
    CPU Speed: 2.3 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.15 GHz
    Boot ROM Version:5.2.4f1
    Serial Number:XXXXXXXXXXXX
    FireWire Bus:
    Maximum Speed:Up to 800 Mb/sec
    I have two FireWire 400 ports that aren't working. I normally use the FireWire 800 port, which works fine.
    I've tried:
    - Resetting the NVRAM
    - Resetting the PRAM
    - Resetting the SMU
    I haven't been able to run Apple Hardware Test, it is not on my install disc and I must have lost the separate Apple Hardware Test CD... annoying!
    1) First Question - Can I do any more to fix the FireWire ports?
    I also have a FireWire PCI card, which looks like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815150103 though I can't be for certain that is that one (PCI card purchased by my business partner 4 years ago and was originally in a PC). It's got 3-ports (2x 800 and 1x 400).
    2) Second Question - am I ok to install this FireWire PCI card into the G5?
    (how do I identify for sure what make of PCI card it is?)
    If so, which slot and how should I go about doing it?
    Thank you

    Hi sohopigeon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device...
    If the issue persists, try these steps:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
    3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
    4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
    5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.

    The 7,3 2.3 was PCI-X, I notice this PCI card is NOT for use in PCI-X G5s...

    While this one works in PCI or PCI-X...

    Not sure about yours, but it does say...
    PCI 2.2 compliant and works in 32-/64-bit PCI slot
    Works in 3.3v or 5V PCI slot
    The one that doesn't work in yours above is also PCI 2.2 compliant.

  • New Portege Z10T cannot see Sierra/4G card after Win 8.1 Upgrade

    Hi All,
    I purchased a brand new Toshiba Z10T Core i5 00M001 model from Telstra last night. When I got it, it had a connection "Telstra" which linked to the internal 4g card. This was tested and working on the standard Windows 8 install as provided from the get go.
    I proceeded to run Windows update on the stock Win8 install, which installed some 900MB of updates. Following this I installed the recommended Windows 8.1 update. Once this had completed, the laptop rebooted a few times, and as one of the final steps it wanted to connect to the internet to complete it's configuration (I presume download my profile from Microsoft) AT THIS STAGE I had the "Telstra" connection available to me and I used that connection to download the profile (it even smsed me a confirmation code).
    Following this however, the "Telstra" connection disappeared, and the Sierra Wireless card is now nowhere to be found on the unit. I've tried connecting to a wireless network and running Windows Update (I'm up to date) and your support website does not have a specific driver available for the wireless card on Windows 8.1
    Can you please suggest how I might go about getting the 4g connection on the unit working again. It's one of the pivotal reasons I invested in this tablet and I do not wish to roll back to Windows 8.
    Cheers,
    Josh

    Hi,
    I ended up solving this by running the firmware upgrade recommended for Windows 8 (not 8.1).
    After I ran the firmware upgrade, the 4g card appeared again.
    Cheers,
    Josh

  • PCI-GPIB card cannot find instruments in Windows 7

    hello, i am new to use Labview to control lab equipments. would be very appreciated any help in advance. Here is my case.
    We have two NI PCI-GPIB card in lab. They are working well in old PCs with Windows XP. I installed them to new PC with Windows 7 enterprize edition. Labview version is 2014. The NI-488.2 14.0 and Ni-VISA 14.0.1 is also installed. 
    when running NI MAX, i could see PCI-GPIB card, so far everthing is fine, no error code. But when i click scan for instruments. there is no result, also no error code message. I borrowed a GPIB-USB-HS controller from another lab. It woks well with the same GPIB cable and equipment. i could see the equipment and communicate. i tried both our PCI-GPIB card and got the same result.
    Does someone happen to see the similar problem?
    Thank you.
    Yutong

    Hi thanks for looking into my problem. here is some update.
    first, i installed the PCI card to the new PC, it does not work as described above. then, i took it from the PC and installed the GPIB-USB-HS controller. It works well to find our equipment and everything is fine.
    second, the oringinal old pc with this PCI card is down, so i used another old pc. this makes problems more complicated. i installed the PCI card on the old PC and it not work. then I connected the USB controller, it works fine. same problem as the new PC.
    third, i tried both PCI card. they have the same problem. i think it is unlikely these two cards are both damaged.
    I also followed instruction from  KnowledgeBase 1UO68A5P: "Scan for Instruments" Fails in Measurement & Automation Explorer. does not improved. the settings of PCI card is shown as attached.
    thank you.

  • Best Firewire card for PC?

    Hi Folks. What would all of you suggest as the best PCI Firewire card out there for a PC? Mine only has one port working and I need at the very least 2. So, I will be ordering one pretty soon.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    VG

    To add a resource to this thread: http://www.firewiredirect.com/store/home.php
    I've bought many cards from this source (all sorts of configurations), and they have been a pleasure to deal with. Their prices seem fair, but I usually shop for product specs. and good service, before price.
    They offer some configurations, that I do not see from most card mfgrs. and several of these have fit my particular needs perfectly. Ease of ordering in nice, shipping always quick, but I've never had any problems, so I do not know about returns - would guess that they are good, but just have never had to return anything.
    I also recommend the FW-800 connections, as does Chuck. If one's BIOS can work with IEEE-1394b, and so can one's peripherals, it is a really fast connection.
    One comment on multiple devices on one FW connection: I have had great luck piggybacking (both FW-800 & 400) for HDDs. Though I have never experienced a problem, I do not do this for any camera, A->D converter, or even external DVD burners. OK, I did piggyback an external burner, with no problems once, or twice, but do not do this on a regular basis.
    Luckily my workstation has 4 separate FW busses on the MoBo and I use one of the FW-800 cards (from above source) for those 1394b connections. Never a complaint on any from a wide array of peripherals.

  • FIREWIRE CARD

    I have just purchased and installed in my G4 a Belkin PC/MAC 3 port PCI Firewire card
    but cannot get my Lacie drives to mount.
    I am running OSX 10.4.4
    Mike Hooley

    Questions...
    1) Do they mount using the native FW ports?
    2) Any historical problems with the drives?
    3) Have you tried all combinations of testing them now? (Have them plugged in when machine starts, plug them in when machine is already running, and then on/off states for the drives for both of these)?

  • Booting a B&W via PCI Firewire?

    I know the B&W won't boot from the on board Firewire, but can it boot from a PCI Firewire card? I know the Beige can't but can the B&W?
    Rick

    The end result I'm seeking is to dual boot OS X and Ubuntu 7.04. OS X will not install on the on board HDD. I was hoping to test the ability to boot OS X from a Firewire drive. If I could boot OS X from something other than the on board HDD, than it would isolate the ATA bus as being at fault. However, if I have to boot OS X from the on board HDD before I can boot from the Firewire drive, and I can't boot OS X from the on board HDD, then I'm back to square-one.
    300 MHz B&W Rev. 1, 6.1 GB HDD, 128-512 MB RAM, good PRAM battery.
    Steps:
    Installed OS 9.1 on Partition 1 (3 GB) of onboard HDD. Booted
    Installed Ubuntu 7.04 on partition 2 (3 GB) of onboard HDD. Booted
    Lost OS 9 partition. Separate issue.
    Reformatted Drive.
    Installed 10.2, disk 1, on Partition 1 (3 GB) HDD. Failed to boot.
    Flashed PRAM. failed to boot.
    Reset NVRAM. failed to boot.
    Installed OS 9.1 on Partition 1
    Ran firmware update 1.2. Says Firmware is up to date. failed to boot to OS X.
    Replaced RAM with known good RAM. failed to boot to OS X.
    Booted to OS9
    Connected Firewire drive with Tiger installed to on board FW. Didn't show up.
    Installed PCI Firewire card. Connected FW drive. Showed up, but still can't boot to OS X.
    Booted to OS 9. Downloaded and installed XPostFacto. Says No OS X on Partition 1. but shows Tiger on the Firewire Drive. Chose Partition 1 as helper (The OS X files are there) and Tiger as the boot. Failed to boot.
    Using XPostFacto, chose 10.2 on CD-ROM. Failed to boot. Not sure why. Will try another PRAM flash.
    Gave up for the night.

    The Firewire PCI card i got has like a power connection port on it
    I was wondering if i needed to connect it to anything or it gets enough power from the motherboard
    I mean they didn't supply the cable to connect it to the power supply
    and the G5 doesn't have any extra cable lying inside there to connect to it
    and so far all hard drives including the isight is running smooth
    Just wanna know before something happen

  • Firewire card for TouchSmart 610

    I am considering buying a TouchSmart 610. I have some hardware that uses firewire. Are there any PCIe firewire cards that can be installed in the TouchSmart to provide a firewire port?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks for confirming that. I'm disappointed - I have a video camera with a DV interface that I would not be able to use with a Touchsmart.
    Seems like most of the current crop of All-In-One systems are coming without firewire these days. Is that interface dropping off the scene?

  • Cannot access my memory card

    I have recently connected my phone with my laptop and now I am unable to access my media from the memory card. How do I solve this problem?

    i am having the same problem and i have the 8520.  I then connected the phone to my laptop where it was scanned for a virus. after the virus was deleted i could no longer acces my files from the computer.
    now i cant access my files on my phone or on the computer.  i really need help
     I cannot see my media card, so can't manage my media files.
    My desktop tells me that I need to "insert a disk into drive F:" ... which is the default for the USB port that the BB is plugged into, but will not let me explore.

  • Xw6600 & FireWire card

    I need to add a Firewire card to a XW6600.  The XW6600 has a Firewire connector on the front, and from this connector is a wire that goes in the direction of the motherboard.  That wire has a connector on the end, the connector has two rows of pins - 7 on one row, 5 on the other.  I believe that 12-pin connector is supposed to plug into a Firewire card.   However, I cannot find a firewire card that has a 12-pin connector on it. 
    Anyone know what to do, have a solution for this?  I want a firewire port on the front of the XW6600, not just in the back of it.

  • HP Pavilion p-7-1240 need firewire card

    Hello,
    I need to add a firewire card to my
    HP Pavilion Series Desktop, Model No.  P-7-1240
    Firewire, also known as IEEE 1394 or iLink
    the Firewire card needs to have at least one 6 pin port, or possibly a 4 pin & a 6 pin port, or other ports etc.
    The most important thing is to get a good reliable card that will work properly with my machine, & give me the ability to connect at least one 6 pin cable into it.
    The machine at this time is factory correct & no other modifications have been done to it.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Your machine has:
    Expansion Slots:
    1 PCI Express x16 (Gen 2.0)
    3 PCI Express x1 (Gen 2.0)
    1 PCI Express Mini Card (Gen 2.0)
    You need a PCIe - Firewire card. Many of them around such as:

  • Firewire Card Recommendation for Duende and/or Ensemble

    I am in the process of moving from a PPC to a Quad core 3.0 machine. Can anyone recommend a PCIE firewire card for running the Duende or the Apogee card?
    I'm looking for something with 800 and 400 ports.
    I've loaded this machine up with 16gb ram and 4 drives, is there anything I need to know as far as tweaks, any specific pcie slot to install the fw card as well as a UAD2 card?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I don't know about Ensemble or Duende but my Motu works on a LeCie D2 connected to the FW800 port of my G5 without problems...
    seems to be more faster... but in any case just an adapter to be sure about stay close to FW800 commectors.
