CompactRIO, CVI, and C series modules

Being used to LabVIEW, not sure how to interface to the C-series modules on my cRIO using CVI.  The project I'm on needs to use CVI, and I have no idea how to interface to my cards -- e.g. writing to my DIO card or reading from an AI channel, etc.  
In LV, it was easy and each I/O channel was simply a variable I could drop over to my block diagram and either read to write from/to.  Any pointers in the right direction for this?  I have the CVI real-time module and I know C, but never messed with CVI much..  I've searched and searched, but maybe I'm not searching right or something :/
How can I read from my NI-9221 card on, say, channel 0 and get a double back representing the voltage that's on that line??  That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for... in CVI?
Thanks.

Hi there,
LabWindows/CVi actually cannot be used to program cRIO.  CVI uses Pharlap, while cRIO uses VxWorks.  See CVI + RT FAQ and here's another more in-depth document regarding CVI in Real-Time.

  • Why do I keep getting error -65581 when trying to use a cRIO 9024 and c series modules

    I am simply trying to send out a digital high on DIO0 of a 9401 c series module and I get the following error every time.  
    Error -65581 occurred at Shared Variable in Send True Value Out.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    CompactRIO:  (Hex 0xFFFEFFD3) The FPGA personality currently running on the CompactRIO chassis does not support the RIO Scan Interface in this slot.
    This error or warning occurred while writing the following Shared Variable:
    \\NRL-CMG-cRIO\NI 9401-1\DIO0
    \\170.126.209.52\NI 9401-1\DIO0
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    NMAYO,
    In your project view can you right click on the chassis in the cRIO and make sure that it is set for Scan Mode and not FPGA mode? Also, In the measurement and automation explorer you can check the cRIO and verify that it has Scan Engine Support installed on it. The tutorial below shows how to reformat a cRIO and install software on it, the later steps on software will allow you to check your cRIO.

  • Labwindows CVI and RT Module

    Hi All,
    I have a developed a Real time application using Ni Labview. In this I have developed a GUI using NI Labview and RT Module in Labview. 
    Iam able to read and write data from HOST PC GUI to the RT Module applications. I am exchanging the data between GUI and RT Module using the shared variables.
    Now I want to recrate the GUI using the Labwindows. I still want to use the RT application developed in NI Labview.
    So Previously GUI was build in Labview and RT Application running on RT Target is also built in NI Lab view.
    Now I want to Create the GUI in NI Lab Windows CVI and still use the RT Application build in NI Labview.
    Is it Possible to do it. 
    Can any provide any links.
    Waiting for your replies.
    Ramesh.

    Hello Armand -
    Instead of using the LabWindows/CVI implementation of SetSystemTime, you should use the Win32 implementation.  To do this, ensure you've included windows.h as the first include file in your source. 
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Which type of ADC is used in M Series, S Series and C Series DAQ Cards?

    Hi
    I want to know which type of Analog to digital converters(ADC) are used in M Series and S Series DAQ Cards. I know that DSA Cards and some C series are using Delta Sigma ADC. What about the ADC used in non delta sigma C Series modules. Why Delta sigma ADC is not used in M series and S series DAQ cards.
    Regards
    Samuel J

    Hi Samuel.
    The ADC type used is Succesive Approximation ADC. You can refer to the following links for your reference.

  • Which c-series modules are compatible with Scan Mode?

    OK, so I just wasted 4 hours.
    I started a new Project with a need to use a 9220 analogue input card on a cRIO 9030, but immediately became stuck when I was unable to add the module using the right click Add New C-Series Module wizard to the 9030 chassis.
    My first (and only) assumption was that this was a new card and I needed the latest Device Drivers. So I installed those.
    When that failed I upgraded my LV2014 to LV2014 SP1, and also upgraded the Real-Time and FPGA modules too.
    4 hours later, when that failed, I realised that maybe this isn't a card compatible with Scan Mode so began searching ni.com for information. I've searched a whole raft of terms and I just cannot find information on which modules are supported by Scan Mode (which is presumably nearly all of them). I know it exists somewhere because I one referred to it when I had an RS485 module that was only compatible in FPGA mode, about four years ago.
    So:
    1. Is there an easy way to determine if a C-Series module is compatible with Scan Mode? I still don't know!
    2. Can we please have Scan Mode compatibility shown in the Add C-Seris Module Wizard. When attempting to add a module to a cRIO chassis, the wizard can hint to us that a particular module is not compatible. By not showing the 9220 in the drop down list I was led to believe the module was not a known device (and hence I attempted to upgrade my drivers). It would be better if the module was listed but disabled and not selectable, with some informational text to explain why. It's a fair assumption that a module will be compatible, so we don't expect it to not be listed when we attempt to add it. In fact, the possibility that some modules aren't compatible can evade your consciousness temporarily and make you do stupid things (like upgrade your installation!).
    3. Can we please have Scan Mode compatability information put on each module's description page. That would have made this whole process much quicker.

    Well, I definitely agree that finding info about RSI module support is not as easy as it should be. Since I know where to look, I will refer you to this document, which I found linked from this page.
    That's the best document I know of on the topic.

  • Can I create a task that includes 2 C series modules?

    I am trying to create a single task that includes 2 NI-9425 C series modules but when I wire the physical channel constant "Mod3/port0, Mod4/port0" into the DAQmx Create Virtual Channel.vi I receive error -200086 which states physical channel range syntax in the input string is invalid because multiple devices were listed in the string.  It is my understanding from LabView help that multidevice tasks are allowed.  Also according to this KB article http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/CF85114C6025C84C862571C000722DDA multi-device tasks are supported for S Series devices, C Series, and DSA devices, and according to this KB article http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/78E44565FD87E7D686257108007F94F8?OpenDocument I have formatted my physical channel constant correctly.
    Can someone please explain why I am getting this error when all indications are that this should be a simple thing to do?
    My C series modules are in slots 3 and 4 in a cDAQ-9188 chassis, I am currently running LabView 8.5.1, with Windows XP
    Thank you,

    Solved!

    Hi Eric,
    I'm afraid that you can't configure hardware timing with the NI 9425 in CompactDAQ. The NI 9425 data sheet explains: "The NI 9425 is a static digital module, so you can use it to perform software-timed or static operations only when installed in an NI CompactDAQ chassis."
    For AI, AO, and counters, daisy chaining multiple calls to DAQmx Create Channel is equivalent to specifying a list of physical channels, but for DIO it's different. A single DIO virtual channel can contain multiple physical channels (lines). It would be completely reasonable to assume that specifying a list of lines with "one channel for all lines" would cause DAQmx to put all of the lines in a single virtual channel, but due to how it's implemented in the DAQmx framework, this is not possible when the lines are on multiple devices. It would also be reasonable to assume that if DAQmx couldn't put all of the lines in a single virtual channel, then it would create one virtual channel per device, but that's also not how it's implemented--it returns the error that you received.
    Instead, here are two approaches to putting all 64 lines in one task. Either one should work.
    Approach A: Create a single task, containing two virtual channels (MyChan0 and MyChan1). MyChan0 contains cDAQ1Mod3/port0/line0:31 and MyChan1 contains cDAQ1Mod4/port0/line0:31. The Digital 2D Bool NChan 1Samp read VI returns a 2x32 array of Booleans. To flatten this into a 1D 64-element array, you need to use Reshape Array or some other method.
    The DAQmx Task >> Channels property is there to show that there are two virtual channels named MyChan0 and MyChan1. Also, I used a for-loop to show that you don't have to hardcode multiple calls to DAQmx Create Channel. The "one channel for all lines" constant is redundant because that is the default.
    Approach B: Create a single task, containing 64 virtual channels (MyChan0 through MyChan63). This uses the "one channel for each line" constant, which is not the default. MyChan0 contains cDAQ1Mod3/port0/line0, MyChan1 contains cDAQ1Mod3/port0/line1, etc. The Digital 1D Bool NChan 1Samp read VI returns a 1D 64-element array of Booleans. If you used the Digital 2D Bool NChan 1Samp VI instead, you would get a 64x1 array because there are 64 virtual channels containing 1 line each.

  • Change a c-series module

    I have created a labview project and am using a RT Controller cRIO-9024 with cRIO-9118 Chassis.  I assigned the NI9474 to 5 of the slots and the NI9425 to the remaining 3 slots.  I now need to change the NI9474 to a NI9478.  When I try to add a new C-Series module nothing happens?  I have even tried removing the NI9474 from the project and I still can't add a new C-Series module.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Do you only have 1 of each module in your chassis? If so, why have you added the modules to multiple slots? I don't think it will let you add a module if all 8 slots have had modules allocated to them - you will probably need to remove the NI9474 and then add the NI9478. If you rename the module/signals, it shouldn't affect your FPGA code.

  • C-Series Module NI 9871, 4-Port, RS485/422 Serial Interface

    I have a question regarding the C-Series Module NI 9871, 4-Port, RS485/422 Serial Interface.
    I need to find out how it recovers the data from the link. I need to compare it with 8b/10b encoding.
    Does anyone know what UARTs are used or how the data is recovered.
    Thanks
    John Lee

    Hi John,
    I have had a look into this and I cannot find any specific information on the Transciever or UART. However I have come across an example using the 9871 with processing on a cRIO FPGA.
    To find this example open up Labview » go to Help » Find Examples » Search for 9871 and open up NI-987x Serial Loopback.lvproj.
    Hopefully this should give you a good start. Once your serial data is passed onto the FPGA you can then decode the 8b/10b within the FPGA code.

  • A much more efficient way to add C Series modules manually

    Scenario
    Suppose that we want to start coding my Real-Time application, but the hardware hasn't arrived yet.
    We can't Discover the chassis + modules, so we need to add modules manually.
    Current editor
    To add N modules, we need to launch this dialog N times:
    Right-click on Chassis in the Project Explorer
    Hover over "New"
    Click "C Series Modules…"
    Click "New target or device"
    Click "C Series Module"
    Click "OK"
    Wait for LabVIEW to fetch module list (wait ~1 second)
    Select Type (2 clicks)
    Select Location (2 clicks)
    Click "OK"
    Go to #1 to add a new module
    How tedious!
    Proposed Editor
    Wouldn't it be nice if we could set up all the modules in 1 dialog?
    Features
    Table auto-fills itself with modules already in the project
    Number of rows is determined by the chassis model. No need to select Location
    Ability to leave rows/slots empty
    Editable Name field (with default name) appears upon selecting Type
    Description appears upon selecting Type
    Feel the difference
    Adding N modules (using default names) requires...
    Current dialog: 10N clicks, N hovers, waiting N seconds
    Proposed dialog*: (6+2N) clicks, 1 hover, waiting 1 second
    So, adding 8 modules requires...
    Current dialog: 80 clicks, 8 hovers, waiting 8 seconds
    Proposed dialog*: 22 clicks, 1 hover, waiting 1 second
    *Assuming that steps 1-7 and 10 need to be performed once
     

    Oh, and if this is implemented, please make sure that users can comfortably fit all text on their screen!

  • 10Gig Copper SFP for Nexus F Series module (N7K-F248XP-25E)

    Does Cisco have 10Gig Copper SFP which can be supported on Nexus platform in the F Series module (N7K-F248XP-25E)

    Leo,
    Thank you for the answer, you mentioned 10Gig Copper module in your reply (Part# N7K-F248XT-25E) but I already have Fiber Module (Part# N7K-F248XP-25E), I just need 2 10Gig copper ports for my storage and cant afford to buy a whole new Copper module. My question was if there is any 10Gig Copper SFP supported on F Series Fiber Module (Part# N7K-F248XP-25E), (not a twinax/DAC cable since my distance is longer and Twinax wont work)

  • Difference between LV PDA module and touch-panel module

    What is the difference between LabView's PDA module and touch-panel module? I want to recompile my application developed on a Win XP environment for a touch-screen single board computer running Win CE. From what I have read, it seems like both PDA module and the touch-panel module would be able to do the task - but what is the difference between the two modules?

    sstolteq:
    The LabVIEW PDA Module allows you to create applications that run on Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC devices. It is also compatible with several NI data acquisitions devices, including the USB-6008, USB-6009, CF-6004,
    DAQCard-6062E, DAQCard-6024E, and the DAQCard-6036E.
    The LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, on the other side, allows you to create human-machine interface (HMI) applications to
    communicate with NI embedded real-time platforms such as Compact
    FieldPoint, CompactRIO, and Compact Vision System. It is optimized for developing
    HMIs to Windows CE touch panel devices such as the NI TPC-2006.
    I hope this helps and please let me know if I can help further.

  • 500GB DVR wouldn't stop resetting, now all recordings and scheduled series gone

    I saw similar threads on this topic, but not sure its the same or not. On 1/11, we were watching a recorded show and it started blinking out a few times, then reset itself. It came back on and then did it again a bit later. We rebooted by unplugging it for a few seconds and it came back.
    Then last night (1/12), we were watching a different recording, and the DVR reset itself. When it finished, it reset again. It continually did this around 5 times and then we unplugged it and plugged it back in. It still would just reset and reset. Unplugged again for longer. Repeat. Finally got it to stop resetting by leaving it unplugged while I ate dinner. Got it back to the place in the show we were watching, but the family had dispersed, so I turned it off. Later that night, I was watching from another STB (we have Home Media set up), and I saw the DVR said No recordings. Uh oh. I went to the DVR and turned it on and it showed No recordings and no series scheduled. I tried rebooting again a couple times and no luck. (It wasn't resetting anymore though!)
    So I called customer support. I had to get to Tier III before they would agree to send me a new box. Neither knows what happened. They tried resetting remotely and re-initializing and still No recordings. They say they are sending me out a new box.
    I'm not sure if we got a guide update or not. I don't remember seeing the "For HD press C", but I might have just missed it. Same with the captions options having all the options from the old system menu.
    The tech guy said to call billing after we receive the new DVR to see about compensation. If it was an update that caused this and not just a hard drive issue, I am super-**bleep**. In any case, I'm also **bleep** that they don't try to physically get the recordings back. No one wants to get data off a hard drive... Fortunately I had already watched the latest Downton Abbey!

    Though I don't know the size on my DVR, what you describe has been happening to me for three days now, too. Was annoying at first; now it's getting horrible, like every hour or two this happens.
    A new box is coming in the mail, but still, this is looking like a more common issue than it ought to be. I'm still in my 30 day "cancel" window for FiOS TV, and I'm about ready to switch right back at this stage.

  • Training and Event Mgt module Budget

    Dear Friends
    The training dept wants to make a budget for the entire year for their training programs. How to perform this budget activities in Training and Event Mgt module
    Or it should be done in FI?
    Please let me know the procedure
    Regards
    Kumar

    Hi,
    First you need to configure the settings in TEM integration with Budget Management. You require these settings, for example, for comparing the budgets created for your organizational units with the costs incurred by further training and education measures.
    For budgeting:
    Path: Human Resources->Training and Event Management->Business Events -> Budget -> Budgeting
    TCode: PVBO
    After completign the budgeting you have to release the budget for using. Once you release the budget, you cannot make any changes.
    Then you can make the budget comparison:
    Path: Human Resources->Training and Event Management->Business Events -> Budget -> Budget Comparison
    Tcode: PVBA
    Thanks
