Digital Group Config.vi Channel List Question

I am having difficulty understanding the syntax for the Digital Group Config.vi Channel List input. I am using the PCI 6507 DIO-96 card and LabVIEW 6.1.
I would like to configure all three 8 bit ports on PPI 1,2,&3 for input using a single group. I then want to read the entire group and break out the indivual ports at that time. What would the syntax in the Channel List be to configure this group?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks RamziH for your help!
I have looked at this example and understand how it works. I still am confused as to how to configure the DI0-96, though.
The DIO-96 has four PPI's and each of these has three 8 bit ports. The examples I have looked at do not show any inputs that would control the specific PPI AND port.
Maybe I am just missing something with this.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello Gaurav,
After you install Traditional DAQ, you should have access to these VIs, if you installed the correct version of Traditional
DAQ for your system and LabVIEW. The link given above is for Traditional
DAQ 7.4.1 which works with LabVIEW 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0. If you do not have
one of these versions, the LabVIEW support is not installed and that would be
why you cannot open the example.
Therefore, if you are using LabVIEW 6 and you want to run this VI you will need
to install an older version of DAQ. To see what versions of Traditional
DAQ are available for your version of LabVIEW please look here.
You can find and download that driver from here.
If this does not help you out, can you please post back which version of
LabVIEW and Traditional DAQ you have installed?
I hope this helps,

AI Group Config Error 10001 using Virtual Channels

In my LabVIEW block diagram, I usually enter in numbers, e.g. 0,1,2 for the channel string input of AI Config. When I try to use a virtual channel, I simply type in the virtual channel, e.g. 0,K Thermocouple,2. However, this causes AI Group Config Error 10001, which applies to an invalid channel string. What is the correct way to enter a virtual channel into the channel string?

Do you have channels with virtual names of "0", and "2"?
If not you may be confusing MAX by using both naming conventions.
Try using only Virtual names.
I generally will use an array of strings where each element is the vitual channel name with no problems.

Help with Error -10401 occurred at AO Group Config

I am receiving the error: "Error -10401 occurred at AO Group Config" and have been unable to fix it.
Some background: This is someone else's program who has since left, so I am not very familiar with it. It was running fine a little while ago, until the PCI-GPIB card broke. We got a new GPIB card (essentially the exact same model; the old one was 183619B-01; the new one is 183617K-01) and now this error appears every time I try to run it.
I believe this is being thrown by the "AO Config.vi" in my VI Hierarchy. From reading other forums, such as this: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/46F78EDD19BA0CC386256CEE007201FC and this: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Change-in-PCI-Device-Number/m-p/2312186#M726679, it seems it may be a problem with properly assigning device numbers. (The new GPIB card may have been assigned a new device number while the program is calling the old one). However, the solution offered is to right-click on the device in MAX and change the device number, but when I right-click I am not given that option (see attached image). On the other hand, it could also be some sort of driver problem.
I am running LabVIEW 8.2.1 and Measurement and Automation Explorer 4.2.1.3001 on Windows XP SP2. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi bh424,
I would make sure that you have updated drivers as you mentioned. If you are using TDAQ make sure to reset the device driver mentioned in the KB you listed.
Another thought would to be to remove and readd the device in MAX to refresh it, and potentially change the naming in your program to reference a new named device. If you cannot rename the device in MAX you could look at repointing the device in your code.
Are you able to communicate with the device at all in MAX through simple queries? From the right click screenshot it looks like *IDN did not communicate properly.
Have you also refreshed the list or rebooted your machine?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/23B5918E5604915B86256C2B005F4D70?OpenDocument
I would first ensure you can communicate with the new card in MAX alone. Here are some troublehsooting steps if that is not the case:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A80DBFCCAC36EBDE862562C80058856E?OpenDocument
There is also the possibility that the card is broken as well. If it was indeed purchased from a 3rd party vendor, there is less we know about the card or what could have been done to it before you acquired it.

How do I fix error 10001 with AI Group Config.vi

I have written a VI which uses the AI Sample Channels.vi in it. One of the sub-sub...sub vi's of this is the AI Group Config. I keep getting error 10001 when trying to run it, regardless of the order of the channels (I have tried ascending and descending).
Any advice would be helpful
thanks in advance

Hello,
First, make sure you use the channel names and numbers as in the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). If you already do, then doing the acquicition on those channels in MAX and see if that works. From there, I would then check the example vi to make sure the channel settings match those in MAX.
Here are some documents that will help you troubleshoot this error further:

Help resolving "Error 10401 occurrred at AI/AO Group Config"

Hello, I know this is a common error but I'm unable to find a solution looking through these forums and other websites. I am trying to convert a program wrote on an old computer running LabVIEW 6 to a new computer (with newer hardware) running LabVIEW 8.5. I've resolved all issues that have came up so far (installing the traditional legacy drivers and such). The only error I am getting now is a run-time error that pops up and reads:
"Error 10401 occurred at AI Group Config" and "Error 10401 occurred at AO Group Config"
I've already run the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and that did not help. I'm using Windows XP and my hardware is a NI PCI-6281 M series DAQ.
Do I have to re-write the sub-VI's, or is this fixable? Is there an easier way to convert a program?
If anyone can provide any help or insight what so ever it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

PCI-6601 - Group Config error -10444 after 9 hours running

We developed a vi in order to acquire from the unique dma channel of the PCI-6601 counter 4 multiplexed inputs for a period measurement. We use the national VI buffered_measured_period_TIO. Each cycle the VI is supplied with one of the 4 input line.
Everything works fine until the 32211 second of measurement (about 9 hours) and after we receive the -10444 error on the group config block and the card freezes (not the software). We need to switch off and on again the PC to start again.
The cycle of measurement is exactly the one from the original Ni Vi and each cycle the reset is performed.
Looking in the database we found a similar problem after a long running (10hours) and a PCI-6602.
We suppose that after s
everal initialization some internal counter goes in overflow (maybe the TAskID counter?).
Does exist any explanation and workouround to solve this?
Is it possible initialize the card only one time for the 4 channel and how?
Regards
Andrea Pede

Hi Andrea,
What is probably happening is that your memory is becoming increasingly fragmented and after 9 hours there are no continuous blocks of memory available. If you are continuously reconfiguring your counters, that is what is morelikely causing the problem. I included an example that uses all 8 counters and only needs to configure them once. A couple other suggestions:
1) What happens when you create a larger buffer? Can you run the program for longer?
2) Have you tried running a disk defrag program on your memory? One suggestion I found on the net was mem-turbo from a shareware site.
3) What happens if you only use 1 counter? Does the error still occur?
4) Some issues (including error 10444) with the NI-DAQ driver and analog input were solved
by upgrading to NI-DAQ 6.9.3. What is your current computer configuration (software, hardware, driver version etc.)? This might help narrow the problem down.

Config port channel across different type of media

Please help with the question if we could config port channel across different media type such as Gigabit and Ethernet 10/100 ports ? thanks in advance.

Hello,
no, that is not possible.
When assigning interfaces to a specific port channel, the interfaces must be all Fast
Ethernet or all Gigabit Ethernet. You cannot mix interface types within a single port
channel.

I'm getting a syntax error (#10001) with my AI Group Config. What could be causing it?

When I go to run my program, shortly after it starts, it spits out an error #10001 involving the AI Group Config. This is it's suggested explanation:
Ni-DAQ LV: An error was detected in the input string; the arrangement or ordering of the characters in the string is not consistent with the expected ordering.
I've looked to make sure the assigned device name is the same as the expected one, so I know that's not it. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Hi,
First, i must mention that the way u put it "it spits out an error #10001" sounds horribly good!
Now to the problem, this error is usuall given if you enter an improper channel number(a string instead of numeric)
AI group config is a traditional daq function and channels are reperesented by numerals.
check if you have entered channel numbers in proper syntax.

AI Group Config error -10403 when using DAQPad-6070E

I am using a DAQPad-6070E with attached device SCB-68.
Yesterday, I was able to read in analog waveforms using the attached file. Today, without any changes made to the file, I get an error -10403 in AI Group Config.
What could be causing this error since no changes were made in the file or in Measurement and Automation Explorer configuration?
My system configuration is as follows:
Windows XP
Measurement and Automation Explorer v. 2.2.0.3010
NI-DAQ v. 6.9.2f4
LabVIEW v. 6.1

I haven't been able to run your VI since I'm lacking one of the subVIs in your design, but taking a look I have a few suggestions. I noticed that the device and channels controls for AI Config are both hidden on the front panel. The default values for these controls should be checked to make sure that they agree with the device number in MAX. You could place a probe on all of the inputs to the AI Config VI and let us know what values are being sent.
Also, try resetting the device driver through MAX, just in case another program did not release some resources that are needed by your VI.

Error -10401 occurred at AI Group Config - in relation to USB-6008

I'm attempting to run a simple vi that uses AI Aquire Waveforms.vi to input voltage data that I have coming in from the USB-6008 DAQ. However, when I try running the program, I receive the error:
Error -10401 occurred at AI Group Config
Possible reason(s):
NI-DAQ LV: The specified device is not a National Instruments product, the driver does not support the device (for example, the driver was released before the device was supported), or the device has not been configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer.
And I'm not sure how to fix it. In MAX, the device seems to be working properly and everyhting seems to work fine in the test panel, so I'm slightly at a loss. I'm running Labview 7.1, and installed NI-DAQmx 7.5 which came with the USB-6008.

Never mind. I'm new to Labview, and didn't realize that I could not use the traditonal Data Aquisition components with the USB-5008 (I didn't even realize that NI-Daqmx was different).

Analog Source Triggering with more than one channel in channel list

Hello,
I am trying to use an analog reference trigger with a channel list that contains more than one entry using a
M Series 6289. I am aware that this is generally not possible to have more than one channel in the list due to hardware limitations. I was hoping if some sort of workaround exists.
I am using the NIDAQmx C API to control the card.
Using a second card that is syncronized via RTSI should
allow me to use an analog reference trigger to control multiple analog IO channels ... Right ???
Thanks for any advice!
Best regards
Peter

Hello Peter,
If you look at the NI-DAQmx Help, Analog Triggering Considerations for E Series, M Series, and S Series Devices section, it says that to pause multiple channels with an Analog trigger, you must wire that signal to APFI0 or APFI1. Therefore, it is possible to perform this operation.
If you are sharing the AI Sample Clock across RTSI, then you would be able to stop multiple AI channels across multiple devices with the one Analog Reference Trigger.
I hope this helps,
Sean C.

Exception occurred: "AI Group Config"

Recently I have gotten a problem with my LabVIEW VI, used to acquire data from a MEA-Chip. As soon as I try to change the setup of my
PCI 6071 E I get he following error:
Exception occurred within the external code called by a call library function Node. This might have corrupted LabVIEWs memory. Save....
After closing the popup: The VI was stopped at node 0x214 of sub VI "AI Group Config".
I use "AI Config" to initialize and change the setup of the PCI 6071 E. While the initialization works without any problems, an attempt to change any parameter (for example the sample rate), by resetting the device and calling "AI Config" again, leads to that particular exception.
Yet the actual problem is, that the VI worked perfectly for months until last week. There haven't been any changes to the measurement system, but suddenly this error pops up and I have not found any solution so far.
I even tried the PCI 6071 E on an older PC, which had formerly been used, but the problem remains.
The LabVIEW version is 7.1, both PC's run on windows XP, whereas the hardware components are fairly different, but that should not be a problem I suppose.
If anyone knows what might suddenly cause this problem please let me know.
Thanks and regards
Robert Bestel

Hello Robert Bestel,
when reading your post my first guess was that a reinstallation of the traditional DAQ driver might fix this problem.
After some research i found some similar cases in the past. Most of the time reinstalling the driver didnt fix the problem, but its worth a try.
Other users had the same problem when their PC Hardware (RAM) got corrupt. To eliminate this possiblity i suggest to run "Memtest" and "Scandisk".
Here is another Forum thread dealing with a different issue, but the suggestions might work here was well:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/corrupted-LabVIEW-s-memory/m-p/558031?requireLogin=False
Its also possible that this problem might have been caused by some faulty Windows Update. So a complete reinstalltion of windows as well as all NI software could help as a last solution.
Regards
