Data aquisition board installation,how to get the operation system know that the board exsist and to give it a number?

I'm a green hand on hardware. This question is maybe kind of a silly quetsion.
I already have a data acquisition board installed (built-in) and there is the corresponding program to control it.
Now I need to install another board to the computer, and make the necessary Vi to control the new board. I'm wondering what should be the procedure like? HOW to get the computer know the new board. Should there be any driving program coming along with the hardware. Or the operation system should get to know the existing of the new hardware once it's installed( i mean plug in). Thank you for your kind reply!

Hi Fenny,
What is the model number of the second board? If your existing driver has support for this board (which I'm assuming is a NI board, and it's plug and play), your OS (which I'm assuming is Windows) should recognize it when you start up your computer after installation. You can find out the driver support for your board and OS from the link below. If the installation was successful, you should be able to see the new board in the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) under "Devices and Interfaces". If you can see the board in MAX, there will be a device number assigned to the board, which you can use in your VI to communicate with it.
If any of the above assumptions is incorrect, please provide some details (i.e. hardware used, driver you currently have installed, OS, and the application you'd like to use this new board for), and we can work from there.

    Select all the photos that you need to change, then click the "Photos" menu and choose "Adjust Date and Time".
    If you add a year, it will adjust all the photos that you selected by adding a year (so if you accidentally select one of the photos that already has "2012", that will change to "2013").

    Hello,
    Exactly which USB device are you referring to? Is the device a NI product?
    The Product ID for National Instruments DAQPad-6020E is 0x12C0. The USB vendor ID is 0x3923. This is a 16-bit hexadecimal number(1093) (that is decimal 4243).
    Also, here's a document on our website that will help you in configuring NI-VISA to control your USB device:

  • How to get the kerning value and set it to back use script?

    hi,guys
    I come back again.
    I encountered a kerning problem.
    how to get the kerning value and set it to back use script?
    Thanks very much!

    For both cases, the filename can be found on the FILE.ReceivedFileName Context Property.  You can access this Property in a Pipeline Component or Orchestration and take any action you want, such as apply to a database.
    The value is accessed by: MyReceivedMessage(FILE.ReceivedFileName)
    In the case of a duplicate EDI Interchange, you would use the Failed Message Routing feature to capture the error message with either an Orchestration or Send Port.

    When I went and connected my phone to my laptop and hit restore and it got rid of everything my photos my contacts everything and I don't know how to get the stuff back and if you need to know I have an IPhone4S

    I take it you were replacing an older iPhone and this was the first time you plugged it in? If so, that's what happens. It restored the backup of your old phone. A backup of the current phone is not made in those circumstances.
    If that's not what happened, you need to clarify.

A service layer is needed in between them.Sounds like you've done a bit of this before. Me, I've either been a modeller/DBA, doling out data, or a nuts and bolts programmer (and actually more toolmaker than apps, but did a bit of that too).
    Do you know of a good book about the "middle ground" (ie, these service layers)? I understand it empirically, but haven't had a lot of exposure to it.

    PS: Apologies. Edited my previous post, presumably while you were composing your reply, when I finally realized what '.filed' meant.Most of my work is in web development, never been a DBA :) . The biggest 'concern' in my shop is 'separation of concerns'. The UI group reports up to a different IT head, the DB group reports up to a different IT head and so on. The looser the coupling between these systems, the lesser the project costs (Integration, QA etc) are. Martin Fowler's books contain good information about separation of concerns in an enterprise environment. The two books which i recommend are

  • When we run query how it gets the characteristic values and attributes.

    Hi,
    When we load transaction data it chacks characteristic values then SIDs then DIM IDs then insert  DIM IDs into fact table but when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.
    Bye

    when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.
    Just the opposite way you have described. It gets from the corresponding masterdata tables, with the connected SID.

  • How to Get the Login Window and/or Bypass Login Items?

    Greetings, folks!
    This is a silly question, but the old standby of “hold down the shift key” doesn’t work in 10.6.1:
    What key(s) need to be pressed to get the LogIn window and then after LogIn, to bypass LogIn Items?
    Thanks!!
    Richard Fairbanks

    Not here, on a fresh (erased) install.
    Pressed either before or after the initial gray Mac appears, the shift key does not access the LogIn screen. It is possible to bypass the account’s LogIn items by holding down the shift key after the LogIn screen has been called and successfully commenced, but how does one call the Login screen when the Mac is normally set up for automatic login?
    It used to be the shift key . . . 
    Thanks!

  • How to get the exact Height and width of the text in TextLayout Framework

    Hello fellow developers,
    I start working with TLF when there is three different SWC's Now I am working with Single SWC with flex 4 and lot of things are changed like
    I use calculateHeight(),calculateWidth()  now these methods are not available.
    Please if anyone know the replacement of these methods then Let me know.
    thanks

    If the text exceeds the container, which can happen in a scrollable container where you have to scroll to see some of the text, then the values getContentBounds returns are estimated values. This is because we don't want to force the text to recompose all the way to the end of a very long TextFlow in order to return a value. However, if you want to get the exact amount, and don't mind taking the time to recompose, call textFlow.flowComposer.composeToPosition(), before calling getContentBounds. This forces all the text to recompose to the end, and then getContentBounds will return the fully calculated value instead of estimating.

  • SDK : how to get the server adress and port ?

    Almost everything is in the title, I'm look for code to get the server URL and port where the ME is running ;o)
    There should be some standard API I guess.
    Thanks
    Regards

    Hi,
    In the code that I write I usually have access to the HTTP Request Object.
    String serverName = request.getServerName();
    String serverPort = request.getServerPort();
    Then I just do a compare on the returned value to see if I am on our Test or Production server.
    if(request.getServerName().indexOf("prodservername") >= 0)
      // PRODUCTION CODE HERE
    else
      // TEST CODE HERE
    Hope this helps,

  • How to get the server port and id from the Initialcontext

    hi
    i know that i can get the server port and id where the jndi service is listening from the InitialContext ( when i create InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); from within a EJB. ). Does this work on any application server and where (at what position is for example the port) in the Enumeration at the ic are the different things put?

    I would usually just get the PROVIDER_URL property from the InitialContext and use that to determine the location of the naming service:
    String providerURL = (String)ic.getEnvironment().get(Context.PROVIDER_URL);You'll then need to parse that string to obtain the port and the server name. For example:
    // Assume that the provider URL is of form "protocol://server:port"
    int serverStartIndex = providerURL.indexOf("://" + 3);
    int serverEndIndex = providerURL.indexOf(:, serverStartIndex);
    String server = providerURL.substring(serverStartIndex, serverEndIndex);
    String port = providerURL.substring(serverEndIndex + 1);It's a fairly universal approach but there'll doubtlessly be some special cases (for example, the provider URL could be null and the InitialContextFactory class defaults it).
    You might have to adjust the server/port parsing stuff a bit as I just made that up and your URL might not conform to the pattern I described.
    Hope this helps.
