CFP-AO-200 only puts out max current level 4.3mA

cFP-AO-200 only puts out max current level 4.3mA using fieldpoint explorer. The load is 350 ohms resistor.

What is the voltage level of the external power supply you are using? The FP-AO-200 and cFP-AO-200 output load drive capability is based upon the voltage of the external supply that you are using. They each have an internal 3 volt drop. You can use V=I*R to determine the load drive capability. For example, with a 5 volt external supply, you have the 3 volt drop, so 2 Volts/ 21 mA = 95 Ohm load maximum. With a 24 V supply, you can drive the maximum rated load of 1000 Ohms. For a 350 Ohm load, you will need a minimum of a 10.5 Volt supply.

  • Card only putting out 1 Chan

    I recently bought an X-FI XtremeMusic edition card, and a matching set of brand new Logitech Z-2300's (2. setup). Firstly, the speakers are connected properly, and function 00% because I tested them out with my onboard sound beforehand. I also double checked this with my headphones connected directly to the card and it seems my soundcard is only putting out channel of audio. It passes diagnostics, so im at a loss as to what the problem is.
    I ran the speaker connection wizard and when tested it only plays audio from the right channel.
    On the plus side, it sounds great for just one speaker. Now if only I could only get the other one working! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Checking the soundcard on another computer if possible would be the fastest way to determine whether the problem lies with the card being faulty or a problem within your computer. Also, you can try clicking on the 'Default' button in the mixer console and see if it hel

  • IPhone only putting out sound to left earbud.

    I updated to 5.1.1 and now my iPhone is no longer playing sound out of the right earbud, only the left. The handfree controls and volume buttons work but there is no sound coming out of the right earbud. I tried two different pairs and both had the same issue.
    Is this related to the update or did my iPhone (model a1332, 16gb iPhone 4) just quit playing?

    I did try a reset/restore on my phone. I went back to the most recent backup before I upgraded and still had the issue of Apple branded earbuds not working. Any third party earbuds worked as I tested two different pairs.
    At this point, I have to think that it is a hardware issue with my iPhone. However, I find it odd that only the left earbud works on Apple earbuds and also that the hands free microphone works as well as the iPod controls.
    I've investigated every setting that I can in both the iPod menu and the Accessability menu with no luck on rectifying the issue.

  • Headphone jack in Macbook is only putting out the left channel.

    I have no idea how it happened, I just know it happened yesterday. I usually have a line to the stereo, and last night the left speaker was dead.
    I tried with some headphones, and lo and behold, dead as well.
    Anyone know what could be wrong (and perhaps how to fix it without paying apple a million bucks?)

    Yeah, should've mentioned I went there first as well

  • What would you think if SCN hides points and displays only your badges and current level?

    Hi
    After recent change or improvement I must say, in SCN gamification and points system I just came up with an idea that what if SCN hides points completely and calculate and maintain them just they way they are being calculated now?
    With this you'll be able to see reputation of users just with their badges (Answer Hero, Story Teller, Thought Leader etc) and their levels (Diamond, Gold, Topaz etc). Would you like that reputation system or this one with points showing with every name.? Please share your thoughts and views.
    Thank$

    Hi JP
    Thank you for being part of this discussion and sharing your views. As you can see there are users with different opinions and its good that we have multiple thoughts on it.
    When I post a question and get responses from users and if I like someone's response I always visit his profile and see his badges/level/points and area of expertise. It gives me an idea about his potential and increases my trust level. There are many users who sometimes give foolish suggestions without knowing anything. Some users respond just for the sake of points and they give irrelevant answers. If we see badges and points it gives us or at least me a trust level on poster. This is the reason that reputation system is mandatory for this type of forums.
    It doesn't mean newbies can't post good and valuable posts. There can be a newbie who has tons of knowledge and years of experience but he is new in SCN. Exceptions are always there but if we see as a whole you must be agreed that newbies post basic or sometimes irrelevant posts mostly.
    As you said points give us a barometer and sometimes this barometer can be misused specially when you are near to get some next level. You must have seen in car racings that driver boosts up speed to his maximum in last lap of race. When a user sees he needs just 300/400 points to reach next level (Topaz/Emerald) etc he can use tricks to get points. If we have only levels and badges and points are being calculating at background users will be contributing positively without curse of points.
    This is what I believe in.

  • A periodic fast signal to put out randomly to two different lines

    thank you so patient to answer me so fragmentary question.
    What I want is a two random fast digital output.However,two of outputs is related. superpose them will produce a periodic fast singal.In other words,when the line 1 put out "1",the line 2 put out "0".But when to put out "1" or "0" is random.
    I have studied 6602 manual and the examples in Help menu.But I can not find way to do that.In DIO context,the digital I/O is static(In my view,it can not put out fast signal.What is the max frequency o f it?);and in counter context,pulse generation only put out a periodic signal.So I don't know how to do it.

    I am a little confused with your question. On the NI-6602, you are correct in stating the digital lines are static (writing/reading to digital lines is controlled by software). Therefore, the speed of writing/reading to/from the digital lines will by system dependent.
    It seems to me as if you want two pulse trains to start at the same time but be inverted. You could program the counters to share a start trigger and have one counter start at a digital low and the other counter to start at a digital high. This would produce two pulse trains that would be synchronized and inverted. I hope this helps.

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

    youy probably will have to force quit - wait long enough that you are sure no disk activity is taking place - if launching iPhoto does not work after the force quit Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • N6700 query max current is timing out

    I have the N6700 chassis and have installed the IVI driver for it.  I have two different modules in the chassis.  Both exhibit the same issue.  I initialize them, which works fine.  I disable the outputs, and then query the max voltage level.  All this works and retunrs good data.  Then I try tyo query the max current.  I have tried with both the IVI function as well as the driver specific function.  Both timeout.  I have tried passing 0V, 20V, and the output from the max voltage back into its voltage input.  It doesn't like the 0V, the other two options just timeout.  I use this same routine to querya couple E363x supplies and it works fine on them.  Any thoughts on why this specific VI isn't working?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Does the instrument have any errors after the timeout?  Make sure you do a querry for all of the errors from the instrument.  That will usually key you into the problem.

  • With the current up coming addition of Maverick will Apple still support and put out Updates for Mountain Lion?

    With the current up coming addition of Maverick OS will Apple still support and put out Updates out for Mountain Lion? I want to make sure my computer will still be secured.

    I'm sure that Apple will continue to provide support for Mountain Lion and other previous versions of their operating system. They have always provided updates for most versions of their software, even though newer versions were released.

  • Does the max current flow of scxi-1163R channel only 200mA?

    I want to use scxi-1163R and scxi-1326 to control the ASCO solenoid valves(water control).
    The input voltage/current of valve is 24VDC/500mA.
    But the max current of scxi-1163R is just 200mA. Does it mean that i can not directly connecting the valve to module?
    Is there any other solutions?

    Hi Hau,
    I am assuming that you have an external power supply connected to the valves and that you want to use the SCXI-1163R to open/close the circuit. As you stated, the SCXI-1163R has a max current rating of 200mA. Unfortunately, going above the max current rating could damage the relay. However, National Instruments does offer SCXI switches that are capable of handling the current and voltage ratings that you have specified. See the following link (page 4 of the PDF document) for a list of the switches that National Instruments offers.
    Have a great day!

  • NI Stepper Motor not putting out enough torque

    So I have a motion control system with a P70360, UMI 7772, PXI 7332, and a NEMA 23 stepper motor with 380 oz-in. The purpose of the set up is to rotate horizontally a testing fixture and hold it in position (slowly). Previously the set up was using a motor with 180 oz-in but it was decided that it wasn't enough torque seeing as it wasn't able to fully rotate the fixture, also using a step resolution of 18000, current reduction is disabled, multistepping is enabled, dynamic smoothing is minimal, and load-inertia ratio is set to 0-1.
    When the 380oz-in motor was plugged in it was still unable to rotate the platform completely but it wasn't even able to rotate it as far as the 180 oz-in which leads me to believe it was outputting less torque than it should have been. The only reasoning I could think of for this was that there was an issue with the settings somehow where it was limiting the power being fed into the motor for whatever reason. So I walked through the manual (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372324d.pdf) and it still wasn't giving enough torque.
    I also read that decreasing the step size would increase the torque so I reduced it to 200 and it started making a grinding noise, which made everyone in the lab stare at me and start laughing... I immediately hit the kill motor button (I've been controlling it using NI MAX).
    So far I can't seem to find anything that mentions the motor making a grinding noise or not pulling enough torque while using the P70360 so here I am asking the community. Why is the motor making the grinding noise (which also seems to become less the higher the step resolution is) and why isn't the motor putting out more torque?
    Also of note, I'm an electrical engineer, meaning my understanding of mechanical terms is limited to the basics.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    DISCLAIMER: I'm a hardware engineer so I may not be familiar with some concepts/terminology/best practices so... patience is appreciated

    I can't get too specific about the dimensions but it's a rectangular platform about 8 inches wide and 25 inches long (axis of rotation goes through the long way). There are also the UUT seating on one side which is what's causing the imbalance but by placing my lab notebook on the other side it balances out. I would estimate my book to weigh around 2 pounds.
    The exact weight I'm not sure, the platform is attached to two stands through some type of bearings and the motor is turning a part of the shaft that is sticking out slightly.
    On another note though, I decided to attach a oscilloscope to the motor to verify the signals were correct. I had made all the connections, double checked them to make sure all my connections were correct and weren't shorting then turned on the power. As soon as I did there was a white flash from the driver, I turned off the power, and I could smell something was burning. I took the lid off but couldn't see any immediate burn marks anywhere nor was there any visible smoke, just the odor. I decided not to try it again and my principal engineer has been trying to convince me to use another companies motion system. So sadly this may be the last well funded venture into NI motion control I take.
    I'm still going to try to get in touch with a rep and see what I can do about it including taking into consideration the possibility of a gearbox but it's going to have to be on my spare time :'(

  • Lightroom 3 - The worst program Adobe has ever put out...

    If anyone cares to read this, I will be the first to say DO NOT UPGRADE!!
    I am spreading the word - facebook, word of mouth, every professional photographer in LA I know, blogs, etc. 
    You gotta raise hell to get changes.
    Lets see if Adobe will do anything about these issues...
    I thought that Adobe created "beta" for a reason - to smooth out all the kinks before they put the disk out. Nope. 
    I have been waiting for them to put out updates on many issues since I purchased the disk a month ago.... Still waiting Adobe!!!
    It is excruciating to watch my photos take literally 4-5 minutes to open.  Even worse, is the time it takes to save from Photoshop CS5 back to Lightroom - I timed 14min. FOR A PHOTO!
    I feel like the old days when I rendered video - went out to get a coffee, and came back to find the spinning of wheel of death still spinning.
    Oh, and I got to talk to India today too! for 3.5 hours - with no resolution to my problems. 
    Susheel accessed my computer remotely  - saw my catalog - sees 73,000 images, and asks "are you a photographer?"  REALLY?!  DId you REALLY just ask me that Susheel??
    Why I HATE Lightroom 3 - let me count the ways:
    1. Adobe closed their tech support in Portland (whom I have spoken to many times, and ALWAYS got my problems resolved.  They always went above & beyond the protocol - and we sit here and wonder why the US economy is crashing), now you get a no-name person in India or in the philippines (who have no extension, no email, not even a direct line so when you sit on a call for 3.5 hours and need to call back you are starting all over again.. Dear Adobe - do we live in 1980?? You are suppose to be a LEADER in technology. 
         I am morally against outsourcing, my artwork is all about the death of american industrial capitalism.  In a time when the US is in crisis, Adobe works on moving things out of the US.  I'm outraged - You can't get someone in the US EVEN IF YOU TRIED!  The best I could do was talk to someone in sales about this - wow. What does that say - American's "look good and sound good to sell our product, but when it comes to something advanced in technology like using the product and trouble shooting, we prefer to use someone with no extension in another country"
    2. They don't offer support for anyone who is running off a network (they expect professionals to be working off their local "c" drive or Mac internal hard drive.  HA!! 
    3. They continued to blame my network - even though my network is running smoothly, has no limitations on access, will open directly into photoshop just fine (and quick!), worked absolutely perfectly in Lightroom 2.... Yeah, it's the network, riiight.
    4. Lightroom 3 is corrupting files when opening into Photoshop CS5 - if I'm lucky enough to open them
    5. When I do get a photograph open, it loses it's filters once saved back into Lightroom (I rate my photos to help me navigate through the masses) - this really is hurting my workflow. When I shoot 800 images in the studio in one day - I DO NOT want to go back and fish around to find the edited version that lost its flag...
    6. I have been promised to get a phone call "sometime next week" since there is no extension I can call back on to move forward.  I'll keep you updated - let you know if Susheel keeps his word.  He couldn't tell me who was going to call me, or when, but he "assures" me it will happen.
         I wont hold my breath

    So the worst programme Adobe ever put out, yet even though you can have a 30 day trial you still went out and brought it...
    Yep, everything is always someone else's fault. It's never because they've made a stupid decision to buy before making absolutely sure that the software will work for them.
    Seems like nobody is prepared to take responsibility for their own actions these days.
    So, by that logic Adobe does not have to take ANY responsibility for pushing this kludge out the door?  Given they had a RC ready almost INSTANTLY after release should be sufficient to show they KNEW they were pushing garbage out the door.  Adobe is indeed responsible for their offering a know buggy product, bugs which CROSS PLATFORMS so it has to be the core code design not the user hardware or anything a given user has done.  Sure some systems might have setups which help make these issues more apparent, but that is on Adobe to deal with as they should publish limitations and known configurations which can potentially induce greater problems...but these entail an admission and accepting responsibility for the original buggy release...btw, release notes used to be where one would find quirks info and how to work around them post system requirements being carved in stone and set to entice the lowest common denomonator user.
    One more thing...LR is marketed not as a PRO TOOL, it is sold as a tool for the average to hobby level photographer.  That is also has huge appeal to the pro market is a happy accidentally-on-purpose thing...but to berate people who don't feel it's their job to troubleshoot a commercial app is completely unreasonable...but anymore the US consumer is the largest beta tester group on the planet...I wonder how our EU counterparts are fairing as ironically, they have stronger consumer protection laws...try pushing a crap product out in the German market...heh-heh, yeah good luck with that.
    Actually I would say this is not the worst software Adobe has ever pushed out the door but perhaps the worst photography software they ever sent as RTM.  Many, many PDF related apps and utils have actually been worse and we won't get into what they have done to Flash and Dreamweaver after that acquisition.  The closest analog I can see if that of what happened to Norton products post Norton being purchased by Symmantec.
    However, I am willing to give Adobe time to address this because they did have the RC ready almost right away.  Should they have done this?  No way, but perhaps the marketing wonks put the company in the position where it had to meet the release date even if issues were discovered and fixes in the pipeline already and it was gonna be a 3-9 week delay before the issues were mostly fixed.  But they did and well, even those who ran the beta, ran the 30-day trial did not find the issues because they simply did not use that part of the program enough for the bugs to manifest their effects to the degree when you the user, realize something odd is happening.
    I too am pissed, beyond belief as I depend on LR for my business, I can, however work around it for a while but I don't make money as a photographer I use photography for my business so the issues, while causing huge levels of frustration, are not fatal....yet...all I know is I don't want to revert to LR2.7 because I have done so much work onLR3/ LR3.2RC already and the tools themselves are indeed superior in LR3.x....when they work and that is the rub.  So many here are telling those with these bugs affecting their income/workflow bought into this to save time and leverage the bestter NR/sharpening and I say much improved adjustment tools.  I don't use the lense profiles at all really so nothing special for me there.
    I would ask a question...I am sure this has been asked and answered but, eh, why not one more time because search is sooooo "haaaard"
    but does this issue affect all file types?  I am shooting DNG but can switch to PEF if needed and convert on import but would rather just shoot DNG.  I am not willing to switch to JPG because if I have to do this I give up too much control on my images, for that I would switch back to LR2.7.
    Also, what versions of Camera RAW were used in the beta and what versions are being used with LR3.  I know I did upgrade to ACR6.2(?) or whatever the most current version.  I understand there are a ton of factors at play in these bugs but I do doubt it's ACR as my old antique PS CS3 version of Photoshop does not have any problems, of course it's using the old version of ACR 4.6(?) again sorry I forget what version exactly but it's trivial and can be determined.
    I like LR because I don't need the advanced features of PS all that often, still PS is a fun tool to have as a backup for the complicated shots though I don't have time to really spend in it as I would like to...
    But in general I guess I am trying to say, Adobe had to know in advance of the RTM original LR3 because they had the RC ready almost instantly.  Of course past releases of LR also had the same experience just the bugs were, well, not as impactful I suppose.  I have been happy with LR since 1.x versions but this version is painful to support...and I as I previously posted I won't screw with Adobe's refund people, likely off-shored staff who get bonuses for talking customers OUT of getting a refund, I will simply file a chargeback with Mastercard...that is why I use it, so I don't have to let companies waste my time wading through their red-tape.  And btw, Adobe knows the customer will WIN any chargeback because this evidence of a known to be defective product was sold to the consumer and the customer even allowed the mfg to remediate the issue only they failed to deliver in a timely fashion.  So, if one is not happy just "go to the mattresses"...use the chargeback hammer.  The bonus is every chargeback granted to the consumer costs the retailer, Adobe in my case, $35 when they lose...

  • Identifying channels on cFP AO 200

    I have a cFP 1808 controller that I am configuring for a heat exchanger application. All the input and outputs are 4-20 mA current signals. I have added cFP AI 200 for receiving current signals from the heat exchanger unit and cFP AO 200 for sending current signals to the i/p (current to pneumatic) converter devices. I have 3 outputs, so I need to use 3 channels out of the available 8 channels of output in the AO 200. However, I am not able to understand, what constitutes channel 0 or 1 or 2 for that matter. Is the channel number decided by how I wire the outputs to the AO 200, i.e does each terminal 1-32 on the connector block have a channel assigned to it? 
    In other words, if I want to send out a signal to i/p device 1, using FP write in LabVIEW, what channel should I use? How do I decide if it is one channel or the other? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    Thanks Wayne. I intend to send out a 4-20 mA range current signal through the AO 200. So if I were to select channel 1 and use terminals 4 and 19 would that work? Do the terminals have to be different if the output were voltage instead of current?
