Card calibration failure but Self test pass

Hi,
We have been using the cards for a year. Since the cards were due for calibration, we sent them for calibration. These were in working OK condition.
We were informed that 2 cards failed calibration test and need repair. However the cards are passing the self test or reset from the MAX tool as per them.
Question:
1> Whats the purpose of self test if failures are not reported? Can calibration circuit fail if the cards are just 1year old i.e. calibrated once only by NI before delivery.
2> Is it possible that the measurements we did for last year could have been wrong as its not possible to calibrate now?
3> Is it possible to know if these failures happened due to negligence at the calibration company side?
Thanks

Hi,
You can check the card out by using the Measurement & Automation (MAX). Select the device in the Devices and Interfaces tab.

Printer failure after self-test .Deskjet 3650

hp deskjet 3650 printer failure. This happened after running a self-test to check ink level. Oddly, the test report printed out OK. I used the "lift cover 4 times" method to do the test

I have the same problem, starting 2 weeks ago.
I tried the suggestions at http://www.hp.com/support.
None of them worked.
Their advice in this case is: The product needs service.
Following this link, they checked my serial number and found that the printer was out of warranty.
They then displayed the message: The following services are available to you. Please choose ONE of the following:
You guessed it - there were no services available to me!
So what I am hoping is that someone can tell us how to fix it ourselves.

Airport card works in 10.1, HW test passes, but not detected at all in 10.4

Ok, Hi. I'll first admit this is my first post so go easy on me!
I just bought a used iBook G3 and it was working fine for a while until about a month ago when all kinds of weird things stared happening. Some of which those problems I solved from reading previous topics from these forums - but anyways, I'll skip all my other problems and get right to my current one.
First off here is the complete specs:
12.1" iBook G3 "dual USB series"
500MHz PPC processor
128+256MB ram = 384MB RAM
15GB hard drive (NOW 160GB HARD DRIVE!)
No Airport Card (NOW ONE HAS BEEN ADDED!)
Multiple OS's - OS9 and 10.1 were included (have original disks)
I also have a set of 10.4 Tiger CD-ROM disks
Anyways, here is basically what is happening. I bought an Airport card off eBay for my iBook. I installed it about a week ago. I booted into 10.4 Tiger and it did not detect the card. Tried to do the manual setup with the wizard and it said there was no card attached. I went into the system profiler and is said No info available under the airport section. I then booted to my "apple hardware test disk" and ran the full/extended test. It passed everything (including the Airport card) so I know that is not the problem. I then booted into OS X 10.1 and lone behold the card is detected and is working without any fooling around with! Instant wireless internet! So I know that the card is working, but I want to use it in Tiger as 10.1 is almost worthless. So I boot into Tiger again knowing that the card is working, and Tiger still does not recognize it! I even booted into OS 9 and it detected the card (although it was having some connection problems, but at least I know that it IS detecting it.)
Here is what I tried (so you can cross these suggestions off your list! lol)
I've deleted the Airport "ktext" files, etc. (can't remember the actual names of the files, but I've cleared all of those caches and still no luck.)
I've zapped PRAM
I rest NVRAM
I rest the PMU.
I did a Arcive and install of 10.4
...All of which did not help. Again, the card worked in 10.1, but 10.4 is completely blind and can't find it!
Now we are caught up to today. I was having many other odd problems and it all lead to my hard drive probably being bad. So toady I finally bit the bullet and bought a new hard drive from Best Buy. It took me forever to install it, but I did it, and it works! Now I have 160GB (make that only 128GB detected) of space. I partitioned it 4 ways as well:
"Tiger" - 80GB
"Other OS" - 30GB
"Extra Space 1" - 10GB
"Extra Space 2" - 8GB
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- 128GB Total
So now that I have a new hard drive (that I was told would fix all of my problems because my old one was "bad" I thought I would have it working today, but no. So I put in the brand new drive, partitioned it, booted off my Tiger disk, installed it on the 80GB partition. The install went fine. So I now have 10.4 on the new drive. Seems to be a lot faster then my old drive! I did the combo updater (which I downloaded on my iMac and transfered to a flash drive and loaded on to my iBook) Ran the updater, and now it is running 10.4.11! But then I realized, the Airport card is STILL not detected in Tiger!!! - I thought the new hard drive would solve all my problems as I was staring from scratch, but no, there is still a problem!
I ran the Apple hardware test disk again, full test, and it said my Airport card is still fine. I didn't reinstall 10.1 yet (nor did I want to, I was hoping Tiger would work for what I wanted) but it seems now that I might have to go back and install 10.1 again. I don't know what it will prove - other then it will work again, but I don't want to use 10.1 so I'm not going to bother doing all that again.
Anyways, after looking into this further, I brought up the system boot log (of tiger) and found these lines interesting, and hopefully useful to you guys:
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost DirectoryService[64]: Lunched version 1.8 (v346)
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
it then lists the eithernet address and then ramblers on about other nonsense. If anyone needs the other "stuff" i'll try and save the whole log file and attach it here if anyone needs it.
So could anyone please help? It seems as if i've done everything, and still can not get an answer on why it is doing this, and how to fix it!
Please Help!
Thanks you so much, and sorry for the long yet detailed message!!!

Hey, just wanted to post an update to let everyone know what I ended up doing.
Bottom line with the airport card I had is that is was "bad" - well only kind of. I got an email from a guy from a local PC repair shop. He told me he had just gotten one of those cards in and had it for sale for only $25. So I was chatting with this guy and he said it would be alright if I brought my iBook right in his shop, swap the cards and try it before I buy it. So I did so. Very nice guy and we swapped out the cards no problem. Right away it recognized his card and worked! I then downloaded the Airport update and ran it. (remember before, when I tried to update my card, after it restarted it was no longer recognized.) So we did the update with HIS card in and after it restarted, it STILL worked! It also added WPA support as well! We then booted into to Tiger (remember the old card wasn't recognized at all in tiger) and it ALSO worked in Tiger! I also had WPA support right away! So I bought the card and was all happy that it was all working again! I then figured out what the problem was with the old one.
My original card was one of the "original" originals. Then, Apple "changed" the original cards and replaced ones with "128bit" support. (this is all before the extreme cards) I then found out that the newer original cards (the one the guy just sold me) are worth MORE because these are the cards that are compatible with the newer update (128bit WEP, and WPA) The cards looked exactly the same, but the newer card has "128 Bit" printed on the bottom of the card.
SO, it ended up, I was "asking too much" out of the card I had - as the card I had did not support what I was trying for it to do. Where as the newer card I bought IS compatible with the update, and worked like a piece of cake. So all in all, the first card I had isn't "dead" it just wasn't working with what I wanted it to. So I'm going to end up selling it. Hopefully craigslist, but I will get more for it on eBay. so that is what I'm going to do. I'll just make sure to tell people this "story" so they don't try and do the same thing I did. But for someone with an even older laptop, an older OS, or an older router, this card will work just fine for them.
So thats basically it! Looks like I got everything working!

Cartridge alert message, but all test pass

Probems with my HP Photosmart Prem C410a. After changing cartirdges, I received an error alert, regarding the photo black cartridge. Went through all the steps from the HP center including new cartlidge, thinking the other new one was faulty. Using all HP cartridges. Ran all tests, print quality-good, printer status report, network test everything reported good. Reinstalled the software, ran the print test from the software installation and it worked. BUT it will not work when I send a job from my computer. Somewhere I read something that said when their is a cartridge error message it can not print. I have reset, restarted both computer and printer. I know the printer can work fine, color is all good etc but I can not get the error message light off on the printer display and it won't take the print jobs from my Dell computer, windows 7. Help would be appreciated. thank you.

Hi GMaga,
I'd like to help you with this photo black cartridge issue. This might sound silly so bear with me.... is the cartridge you purchased to replace the photo black a photo black? I only ask because often times a customer will quickly grab a black cartridge and accident get the wrong one.
Because you said you were able to print test reports from the printer and the issue seems to be printing from the computer, I suspect you probably have the right cartridge and maybe the issue is just the computer playing tricks on you.
I think the best approach would be to run the Print and Scan Doctor. The Print and Scan Doctor diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including:
Connectivity :
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
You can also click the Printer menu to find the additional features such as cleaning printheads, aligning printheads, checking ink levels, and viewing advanced printer data for your selected printer.

HP4275A can not pass self test after running the labview program

I am using Labview to control HP4275A LCR meter. The Labview program is just the instrument driver for the HP4275A, and it works great. Before running the program, the instrument can pass both Open and Short test perfectly. But after running the program, it can not pass self test, neither Open nor Short. I don't know why?? Is it relative to my Labview program??
Thanks

Thank you so much for your help. Yes, the instrument is in Local after running the instrument driver. In normal Open self test, just choose Capactiance as the Display A, and leave the four output terminals open then press the Self Test button. The Open self test will start and "OP" will be shown in the DIsplay A window, after 2 seconds, the open test will be finished. If something abnormal, the number of the abnormal step is displayed in Display A. Similar with the Short test.
The problem I had was: before running the instrument driver, the self tests pass; but after running the instrument driver, the Open and Short test show abnormal, Open test is abnormal at step 17, and Short test is abnormal at step 24.
And the instrument driver is only write commands into the instrument and then read back measuring values from it. Nothing else. So I am not sure if the problem is my instrument driver.
The weird thing is the problems happened several times and then if I do the Open and Short self test again after running the instrument driver, both pass. I am not sure whether the problem will come back or not.
Ia there any help??
Big thanks

NI USB-6509 Self-Test

Hello all,
Does anyone know what the built-in self-test of the NI USB-6509 hardware or any similar digitial I/O hardware does? Does it just confirm the hardware can communicate, or it actually tries to write and read certain digitial I/O lines?
I just want to have some idea about what it means when the self-test passes or fails.
Thanks,
Wenhao

The self-test is just a diagnostic that checks that the onboard chips are powered properly. The Test Panels actually check I/O.

MyDAQ passes Self-Test but will not work with any software

Hello,
I am currently having issues getting the myDAQ to interface with ELVISmx Instruments. My first attempt followed the included white paper step by step. When that did not work I moved on and tried installing (one at a time of course) several different versions of ELVISmx (14.0, 4.5, 4.3.2, 4.3.1, 4.2.1, and 4.1) and none of them have been able to interface correctly with the hardware. Additionally, I have tried installing the entire LabView suite provided by Georgia Institute of Technology, and several other NI applications associated with the myDAQ on the white paper.
The software installs have all completed successfully, the ELVSImx instrument launcher launches; however when I click on the DMM tool, or any other one, the application fails to load. A loading window pops up and the blue status bar scrolls but nothing ever happens. The application window never launches. I let it run over night thinking it might be confused or just really slow but nothing changed in the morning. The only way to exit out of the window is to end the task in the task manager.
In NI MAX, the hardware is recognized correctly and the "self test" feature returns that the myDAQ is functioning correctly. I have checked the Event Viewer for Windows applications and there do not appear to be any errors associated to any NI software.
I have exhausted all my resources in trying to get this to work but all of have done is frustrate myself and everyone I speak to about the issue.

Hi amoore73,
The myDAQ requires the NI DAQmx drivers as well as NI ELVISmx. Have you tried installing NI DAQmx?
It can be found on our website here: http://www.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,n8:3478.41.181.5495,s...
I hope this helps!

PCI-6221 fails self-test in MAX but device manager says it's working

Hi everyone,
I bought a few PCI-6221 (37-pin) data acquisition cards and have been able to get one to work but 3 others don't work.
Device Manager sees them and says they work. MAX sees them and when I run Self Test, they fail with error number
-50002. Motherboards in non-working systems are PC Chips M957G and P25G. OS is Windows XP Pro with SP2.
I already tried uninstalling SW and the board, reinstalling SW and the
board...autodetect etc works fine. I even reformatted
the HD on one of the computers and reinstalled the OS. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Halden
[email protected]

Thanks Tom for your suggestion to try NI-DAQ 8.0. I just saw it today. Yesterday,
I was able to isolate 3 PCI-6221-37 boards as defective because they all wouldn't work in another computer while
one other identical model card did work in that same computer. I called to arrange to return them to NI and learned
that for these 3, I needed NI-DAQ 8.0. The fourth one was okay
with NI-DAQ 7.5. Apparently, this was a known problem.
I wish NI would have simply notified me that my boards would
not work with the software sent with them and sent the NIDAQ 8.0 CD as soon as they knew rather than have me
waste a day of my engineering time trying to figure it all out. Booo NI.
One of the boards has worked for almost a day under NIDAQ 8.0. I was able to make some progress on the
system I am building. But then it stopped working. LabVIEW
(version 7.0 executable) programs would not open completely
or would open slowly. One that accessed the COM port only (no
data acquisition) did work. MAX opened very slowly or not at all
and when I click on
Devices and Interfaces, the hourglass is up for a long time and finally the + icon goes away indicating that MAX is not
aware of any devices being present. The Windows Device Manager says the board is present and working. Windows
Task Manager lists LabVIEW Runtime and MAX when only MAX is open and indicates that MAX is Not Responding.
I shut down the computer, removed the PCI-6221 board, booted it up again, and MAX is the same way. I uninstalled
MAX and NI-DAQ LabVIEW 7.0 support and then reinstalled them.
Now the MAX loading window is up for more than a minute and NIMAX.exe is listed in Task Manager's processes. After
the first minute, LabVIEW Runtime appears in the Task Manager's
Applications list. After a while longer, the MAX window finally
opens
and MAX is listed in the Applications. I click on the + icon by Devices and Interfaces in MAX and the hourglass appears
and Windows Task Manager says MAX is Not Responding. Eventually, the + icon and the hourglass go away and
the Task Manager lists LabVIEW Runtime and MAX as Running.
I shut the computer off for several minutes, started it up again, and MAX is still takes a long, long time to open.
I haven't put the PCI-6221 card back in because MAX still isn't working.
What do you suggest I do next?
Thanks

Satellite A300 does not pass BIOS self-test

Hi!
My laptop does not pass self-test in the BIOS. Inscription "Toshiba Leading Inovation" does not disappear. So what to do?
The buttons are not active.

Hi
That means your screen is completely black and you can see nothing? Thats strange but you can try this workaround:
-Try removing the battery and the AC adaptor
-Wait at least one hour or one night (no battery and AC adaptor should be connected)
-Connect battery and AC adaptor again
-Try to start the notebook as usual
If the same problem occurs you should contact an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem :(

DAQCard-6024E Card Fails Self Test - what wrong?

I am attempting to write a Visual C++ application that uses a DACCard-6024E and I have installed the NI-DAQmx 7.4 drivers. Measurement and Automation Explorer has detected the card as "Dev1". An I/O port and IRQ were assigned.
When I do a "Self-Test", I get the following error message.
Error
The device self test has failed. The error report from the device driver is as follows:
Error -200020 occurred at Self Test
Possible Reason(s):
Self-test of the device has failed.
OK
Am I missing a step that will enable the board?
Thanks.

Try removing the device from your PC, then uninstall your DAQmx drivers and install DAQmx 8. Shutdown and put the device back in and see if it passes self-test.

Simulated device in MAX, self tests without error and has working Test Panels, but doesn't show up in DAQ assistant.

I'm trying to create a development machine where we can test new code without using our physical hardware. I've followed this guide in setting up a simulated device. I can get to step 3.2b, but the device does not show up in the DAQ assistant. In MAX, the device self tests and self calibrates successfully, and when I open the test panels, I see some sort of signal. I assume this is a default simulated input since I haven't told the device to look for anything? Note that the two devices I'm trying to create show up in the Devices and Interfaces section, but that even after running Self-Calibrate, the Self-Calibration date is still unspecified.
When I try to test the device and create a voltage input according to the guide, I am unable to see either device in the DAQ task creator.
Steps 1 and 2 of this guide are obviously satisfied. Step 3 is not, but this is unsurprising since a simulated device wouldn't be found in the Device Manager anyways. Also, I am not running RT, so step 4 is satisfied.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That would be because the PXI 5124 is a digitizer not a analog input device. You need to use the NI SCOPE driver not NI DAQmx

Printer self tests good, clear. But, printed documents are dim and streaked

After cleaning cartridges I ran printer self tests, etc. Everything at that point is great. But, when I print a document the print is dim and every other line only partially prints. Any suggestions as to cause of my problem and how to fix?

Hi @Threep,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It's possible that the tests are putting forth a composite black or something of that nature.
Can you please perform a Black Copy and a Color Copy and let me know how those pages look?

Self Test Error -50002, The specified device is not a valid device.

I'm just an IT guy that knows nothing about Labview or DAQ cards that has been given the task of setting up a lab.
System is Dell GX280 with Windows XP SP-2. The DAQ card being used is a NI PCI-6251. The software used is Labview 7.11 and NI-DAQ 7.4.
Labview loads the professor's VI files as expected but when you start the vi it returns the following error.
Error -200157 occurred at the Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI:AI Group Config.vi-> DAQmx Create Channel(AT-Voltage-Basic).vi
Also when you enter the Measurement and Automation application and browse to the device and execute a self-test it returns the following error.
Error -50002 occurred at Self Test
Possible Reason(s):
The specified device is not a valid device. The Operation could be completed as specified.
My question is are these errors because there are no devices connected to the DAQ? The professor claims that if nothing is connected it should still function properly. So now I'm trying to figure out what is wrong and the professor is not the friendliest in the world. I have tried reinstalling Labview and NI-Daq several times now and no luck using two separate computers. I would appreciate any assistance.

Hi Rice IT,
Since you are new to using this whole DAQ thing, then I'll start with just the basics.
Make sure you have no NI Devices in your computer (if you do, remove them then begin).
Install LabVIEW.
Install the latest DAQ drivers for your system (for you it's NI-DAQmx Version 7.5 for Windows 2000/NT/XP).
Power down the computer and insert your DAQ board.
When Windows boots you should see the New Device Wizard. Have it search for and install the drivers.
Open Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to test the device (Start > All Programs > National Instruments)
Go to My System > Devices and Interfaces > NI-DAQmx Devices, you should see your DAQ device.
Right-click on your device and click Self-Test. If the device passes it should be ready to use
If that causes an error right-click on the device and Reset Device.
Redo Step 8 and perform a Self-Test of the device
If the Self-Test still does not work, then the board could be
broken. Try to place the board in a different PCI slot, if other
boards are available then try to use a known working board in your
system. If you still have trouble contact Technical Support.
Now your device should be working. You can try to run a Test Panel and look at how your device performs.
You could also right click on Data Neighborhood in MAX and
Create New... DAQmx Task and try to make a more customized measurement.
Finally you can open an example in LabVIEW
Open LabVIEW > Open > Examples (or Help > Find
Examples) > Browse > Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx.
Choose an example that is similar to what type of operation you are
trying to perform.
Typically you will want to start with an example and then
build up from there. If not, then you will want to take a look at
this KB
If you run into any problems, first read thru what the error message is
and where it occurs. If that can't help you isolate the error,
then try searching ni.com for more information. If you can't find
anything there, then check the forums to see if somebody else has had a
similar fate. Finally if you cannot find any more information
contact NI's Technical Support.
Here are a few more resources that might help you with some of the basics:
Introduction to Data Acquisition
Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Solve 80% of
Data Acquisition Applications
NI DAQmx FAQ
I hope you are able to get a better bearing of where you need to go from this information.

PCI 6733 self-test

I installed DAQ cards PCI 4472 and PCI 6733 in the same machine.
4472 works fine. But 6733 shows this message:
" Error 200020 - occured at self test".
I have installed NI DAQmx 7.3.
My computer in which both the cards are installed is a
Dell Precision 360, P4, 2.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM, with Windows XP.
I tried to install 6733 in two other computers. It passed the self test in both of them.
One of the machines had Windows 2000 and other had Windows XP(configuration similar to mine).
So there seems to be no problem with the card. I formatted my machine
and tried to install the card again. Even then, I get the same error

I removed 4472 from the slot and checked with just 6733 on the machine.
I also tried it in all the PCI slots. That doesn't seem to be useful
either. What could be the problem?
Can I use the card even if it doesnot pass the self test?

RVR,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
Have you tried reproducing this problem with the latest NI-DAQmx drivers (7.5)? Are you able to use the card even though it fails the self test?
It is possible that your system is not supplying the necessary 3.3 V and 5 V supply from the PCI bus. This can be especially true when using industrial PCI or expansion PCI chassis. Verify that your computer's motherboard has a 3.3 V supply for the PCI bus before proceeding with other troubleshooting. Visit Appendix A of the NI 671X/673X User Manual for more information.
