Deploying VIs to the RT causes the value in the Physical Channels of one of the VIs to change to an incorrect value. Why?

Hi all. I've been registered to the forum for a couple of years, but this my first post. I'll try to give as much info as I can.
NIPXIe-1082 chassis
slot 1: PXIe-8133 Embedded Controller
slot 2-3: PXIe-6363 X-Series Multifunction DAQ
slot 4: TB-4353 32-Ch. Thermocouple
slot 5: PXI-4496 Analog Inputs 16-ch
(The second 6363 in slot 3 is a recent addition causing the others to move to higher slot numbers.)
Windows 7
LabVIEW 2011
This code is still being developed to run a test stand, but its based on code from a previous test stand that is being modified for the new one. There are three VIs that are opened and then deployed to the RT. On the Front Panel of one of the VIs is a DAQmx Physical Channel control. The control points to slot 5, but when I deploy the VIs, the control changes to point to slot 3. None of the three VIs have been run yet. I can manually "Reinitialize to Default Value" to get the control to point to slot 5 again, but I shouldn't have to.
I realize that there is a lot I still don't know about NI hardware and LabVIEW. This just seems like it should be a really simple solution and I'll probably have one of those DUH moments when I get told the answer. I'll try to answer whatever questions for more information that I can. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is defaulted to slot 5. After it changes I can Reinitialize to Default to bring it back.
Two things that I've tried during the week. I've deleted the Physical Channel and then recreated it, but it continued to change upon deployment. Then I simply disconnected the Physical Channel, moved it to an out-of-the-way location on the Block Diagram and then created a new Physical Channel. The old Physical Channel is still changing upon deployment, but the new one stays intact. It seems that as long as the old one isn't deleted, this workaround should work. Except that the problem now seems to be spreading to the other controls on the same VI.
Just today I upgraded from 2011 to 2011 SP1, but the problem is still there. After the upgrade, I tried recreating the LabVIEW project from scratch, but that didn't seem to work either.
I'm going to try contacting NI directly, but if anyone else has any ideas, feel free to continue posting.

I have a new pc. If I copy the Itunes folder from my old pc onto my new one in the music folder will I be able to sync just as if it were the old one? This is from a Widows Vista machine to Windows 7.

I suspect design rather than a bug, it's too useful. The behaviour seems to have been consistent for quite a long time on both Windows and Mac machines...
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above right, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library will be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another, or even between Windows & Mac computers, without breaking the links between the library and the media, and being self-contained is much easier to backup (You do backup, don't you?). Anything that isn't stored inside the media folder must stay put or be restored to precisely the same path on a new machine or iTunes won't know where to find it. Within the media folder the relative paths from the library to the media remain unchanged and iTunes can cope even when the absolute paths are updated.
Should your library not be in the usual layout I've written some general posts on how to make a split library portable or I can give specific instructions on request.

VB6 NI-USB-9237 DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan selected physical channel does not support the measurement type required

I have a VB6 program with code that properly reads analog inputs from an NI-USB-6008.
I tried to re-use the code for a strain-gage module NI-USB-9237, but at the DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan step I get the following error:
"Measurements: Selected physical channel does not support the measurement type required by the virtual channel you are creating.
Create a channel of a measurement type that is supported by the physical channel, or select a physical channel that supports the measurement type."
Should I be calling a function other than DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan?
If so, what is it, or where can I find the reference for such functions?
Or - if that is the right function, should I pass different arguments? Currently I'm calling:
DAQmxErrChk DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle, "Dev1/ai1", "", DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default, -10, 10, DAQmx_Val_VoltageUnits1_Volts, "")
Thanks in advance for your help
-Chris Hardy
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured it out from 372251a.PDF
First, the correct function is DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChanWithExcit
Second, you can't just ask for one sample on one channel - ask for 2 samples instead.

Design Problem : How to design/code a java client which is deployed to all the machines in a cluster and make sure that only one of the java client is active

          hi ,
          I have to design a java client (which is basically a JMS message listener)which
          is deplloyed to all the servers in the cluster. But as these are message listeners,
          i want only one of the instance to be active at a time.
          If the server on which the client is active goes down , I want the second server
          to start listening to messages.
          How do i design this ? Also is there a public api for multicasting that we can
          use ?
          Anybody has an idea on how to go about this..
          Thanks
          nisha


Hi Nisha,
          Failover message listeners? Sounds like you want MDBs, which are deployed on all nodes in a
          cluster. If your JMS destination is a queue, then only one MDB will pick up the message. And just
          like any other ejb service, MDBs failover.

I want to access the options in the context menu when clicking on a dropdown list in the bookmarks toolbar, but the context menu disappears when I try to click on one of the options. How can I keep the menu from disappearing?

I have several dropdown lists in my bookmarks toolbar and would like to access the properties for some of the the items. This used to work fine. However, now, when I go to the list and place the cursor on a particular item, the context menu that is usually available on a right click disappears when I try to access one of the options. This is the menu that begins with Open. What can I do to regain this functionality? I really need the information in the Properties section. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

I have 3 IPOD touches. I just got a new one and set up an apple id for it. When i go to the store, it brings up an old apple id to one of the other ipods. Why isnt it bringing up the id i gave to the ipod?

I have 3 ipod touches. Just got a new one and set up an apple id for it. But when i use the ipod to go to store to make a purchace. It tells me to sign in, and brings up an Apple ID and ask for password. the problem is the Apple ID its bringing up is for my other Ipods. How do i change it to bring up my id i set up with That ipod. I never once put that id into the current ipod. Like i dont even know how it got there.

This is what yo have to do:
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with the other account.
That is the only place.
Try signing out. Then
Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then sign back in.

I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio 7 and I cannot find the serial number. It's suppose to be in one of the installation booklets. I'm not sure which one. Could you help me?

I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio that i bought back in 2008, and I cannot find the serial number. I think I barely remember running into this problem before with this application. When i use the installation disc it tells me that the serial number is located in one of the installation booklets, and it doesn't explain to me which one. Can you help me?
Thank You!

How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

Hello,
That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
Thanks and have a good day,
Trevor

I updated my I-pad 1 to the new software and it wont let me open up one of the games (Dream Fish) How do i fix this problem?

I updated my I-pad 1 to the new sofware for it and now one of my apps (Dream Fish) will not open how to I fix it?

Assuming that there isn't an update for the app that you should download - and you did check correct. .... You can try closing the game in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad. I know you said it will not open, but I also assume that it crashes when you try to open it, and it should still be in the recents tray.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can I have a pop down menu on the left and then text fields directly to the right? I can only get them to be one above the other.

Hi All,
I am building a form and would like to create a pop down menu on the left (and ideally with the options being colour boxes boxes but this does not seem possible), and then have three text separated text lines on the right of the pop down menu for notes related to the pop down choices.
Do you know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Matt

It sounds like you're creating the form in FormsCentral. You have limited options in the FormsCentral designer as far as layout. You can place multiple fields on a line, or one field per line. If you create the design/layout in a program like InDesign or Word, generate a PDF, and add the fields form in Acrobat, you have complete flexibility over the placement of the fields.
The items in a dropdown field are limited to text that are all the same color.

Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

Can I have LV RT version 5.1.2 and version 7.1 on the same PXI controller if I just want to run one or the other at one time?

I have LabVIEW Real-Time 5.1.2 on my PXI-8170 controller. If I install LabVIEW Real-Time 7.1 on the controller will I still be able to go back and run my 5.1.2 code? Also, what will happen to my 5.1.2 NI-DAQ software if I install the 7.1 NI-DAQ software?

Hello,
You can only have one version of LV RT installed on a controller at a time. If you install LV 7.1 on your controller your 5.1 code should still run because LV is backwards compatible. Your NI-DAQ software should still run because it is also backwards compatible. Once you open and save your LV 5.1 code in LV 7.1 it will be recompiled and saved for version LV 7.1. You will no longer be able to open that code in previous versions of LV. Therefore I recommend making a backup of the original 5.1 code.
Are you going to be using different host computers? If not you should know that you can only have one version of NI-DAQ installed on your host machine. So as soon as you install NI-DAQ 7.2 on your host machine you are no longer able to use previou
s versions of NI-DAQ.

Deploying VIs to the RT causes the value in the Physical Channels of one of the VIs to change to an incorrect value. Why?
