Do NI have a PXIe Fibre Optic Power Meter to measure loss (attenuation) and output power from a Fibre Optic cable

Hi, I want to be able to measure the loss in a Fibre Optic cable at a wavelength of 650nm, is there any PXIe cards that can perform this function
Thanks

Hi Paul_byrne,
There is no specific NI PXIe card which measures the power output of optical fibres. However the task can be accomplished using an Optical Sensor and a DAQ Board. Here is a white paper which provides an example of the hardware components and setup:
Lowering the Cost of Optical Power Measurements

hope this helps,
Kind regards,

I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
Thanks anyway.

Correct optical cable for Apple TV 3rd gen

I have now purchased two optical cables that were supposed to work with Apple TV. Neither had the correct end that would fit into the Apple TV. This shouldn't be that hard!! Can someone please point me to a link to the correct cable? Google searches bring up info about connecting, but do not say what cable to get.
thanks!
Joe

Thank you for this. I even described and gave the details of the last cable I bought when I called apple a few moments ago, and he said it was the correct one, and it wasn't. I see on the link you provided that there is an adaptor. It looks like the one I have has one long end (no adaptor) and one small square end. My sound system needs the same square end as the Apple TV takes. So, I just ordered what I think is the correct one.
thanks so much,
Joe

USB powered HDMI to AV convertor getting power from AppleTV USB?

Hi,
I have bought a AppleTV and a Mini White HDMI to AV CVBS Video Converter Adapter 1080P KIT so that I can use my AppleTV with my older non-HDMI television. This is what I bought:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-White-HDMI-to-AV-CVBS-Video-Converter-Adapter-108 0P-KIT-FORTV-PC-PS3-DVD-/221151573187?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160
As you can see in the pictures it requires power from a mini USB cable. I have a mains to usb plug that I can power it with but I was wondering if I could instead hook up the 2 devices with a mini usb to mini usb cable so that the convertor would get its power from the AppleTV. Would that work? Or would it fry the AppleTV and maybe both devices or would the AppleTV just not supply power at all out of its mini usb port. I know it is only intended for maintenance with iTunes.
I have found mini to mini usb cables on ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-White-HDMI-to-AV-CVBS-Video-Converter-Adapter-108 0P-KIT-FORTV-PC-PS3-DVD-/221151573187?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160
So what do you reckon?

I honestly don't know, but I suspect AppleTV does not have a powered USB port and is more like a peripheral (eg ext 2.5" USB drive) that draws power from a computer or hub.
Another potential problem is that ages ago I read that due to the very close proximity of USB and HDMI sockets it may not be physically possible to have both connected at the same time.

Obtaining 5V power from CK-7W car kit

I have a Nokia N80 which connects to the car kit CK-7W via the cabla CA-27 and a mounting cradle (from Brodit) thus when I insert my phone into the cable I am completely handsfree (without bluetooth) and the CA-27 cable charges my phone without the need for a separate charger.
I have changed my phone to one which has a mini usb power connector, I can connect to the CK-7W car kit via bluetooth so that isn't a problem. However, I was wondering whether the power from the CA-27 cable can be used to charge the new phone - therefore I was looking for some kind of adaptor to convert the CA-27 to micro usb (if this is possible?). The other option would be to 'splice' the data cable (CA-27) and get the 5v output from there somehow - has anyone done anything similar?
Currently, the CA-27 cable is neatly installed behind the dashboard and would like to continue to utilise the power facility from this cable, I am looking to avoid using a cigarette charge type for power as this will look messy. Therefore I was wondering if there was some form of cable - or can anyone offer any other advice on how I can acheive this.
The car came installed with the CK-7W so i don't really know where it's installed. I have chopped a usb cable connected the red and black across some of the pins on the CA-27 but no luck (I did measure 5V dc across some pins but doesn't charge the new phone).

If your CK-7W was produced before July 2007 then the short answer is sadly no.
The software in the CK-7W will only send a charging supply when it receives the data signal from the CA-27.
Later kits were supplied with a CA-116 cable which has the Nokia charging pin instead of the now discontinued pop-port connector (as on the N80). These later CK-7Ws also had different software to enable the new cable. There are then adaptors from the Nokia pin connector to micro USB (I'm not aware of any to mini USB though).
Older units cannot be upgraded though, and this lack of upgrade potential was one of the reasons for the CK-7W being replaced in 2008 by the CK-100. another issue with the CK-7W on newer phones is echo for the other caller.
If you have a newer CK-7W then it would have been supplied with this CA-116. If not, it' could be time to upgrade...

Is an optical cable sufficient to get 5.1 sound?

Just hooked up Apple TV for the first time, ran the software update and am playing with it. This is very cool. Was a bit concerned when playing HD trailers they didn’t play in 5.1, but then searched through these forums and found they are not in that format. Haven’t rented a movie yet.
My question is, I'm connecting my ATV to my receiver with an optical digital cable. That’s it re audio. So if the movie supports 5.1, should that be sufficient to generate it?
I’m out of my element here, I kinda do what I'm told when setting this stuff up. On my DVD player, I have both an optical digital cable and a bunch of regular cables for audio front left/front right/center/back left/back right. Not sure why I have all those cables when I have the optical digital one, maybe they’re unnecessary. Just got concerned when I didn’t see analogous inputs on the ATV unit.
Just trying to make sure I've got this correctly setup. FYI, TV is 4 years old, doesn’t’ have HDMI.

Yes, the optical cable will pass 5.1, and that's the better choice than the analog RCA connectors. The HDMI probably does as well, but isn't relevant for you.

However it looks like your area is in Wave 2 of the Hampshire Superfast Broadband Programme which is estimated to run from 2016-2018
From http://www.hampshiresuperfastbroadband.com/
"Wave 2. This postcode is included in Wave 2 which will extend superfast broadband coverage to 96% of properties across Hampshire.
Once Wave 1 and Wave 2 have been completed an additional 97,000 premises will have access to superfast broadband, in total more than 570,000 homes and businesses across Hampshire will have access to superfast broadband.
There is a lot of detailed planning to undertake and we expect to publish more news regarding timescales for the rollout of Wave 2 from September 2015.
The programme is committed to seeking additional support to extend coverage even further and address the hardest to reach premises in the remaining 4%. We will publish details regarding these plans as soon as they become available.
Please note: This does not guarantee that every premise in the postcode will be able to access superfast broadband. In some cases, a few properties might be too far away from the new equipment to benefit. - See more at: http://www.hampshiresuperfastbroadband.com/#sthash.KeieUZz0.dpuf

HELP! I need to be able to remove power from a PXI chassis and replace a card without rebooting the whole system

I do not have particulars on the controller, but I am sure it's an NI chassis
and NI regular controller that has a serial cable leading back to the PC.
I am making this PXI rack into a debug rack for instrument cards,
so I need to be able to remove power from just the PXI chassis
and then replace the card with another one
or the same one and then turn the power back on and restart a
diagnostic test on the card WITHOUT
having to reboot the PC.
Is there a PCIe bridge setup that would allow me to do this?
Is there software that I need that can accomplish this?

Yes
The Chassi is a NI PXI 1045
and the controller is a NI-PXI-8331
Let me re-enumerate my requirements:
Background:
I have a number of NI cards as well as other manufactured cards in the system.
One of these cards in the NI system is considered to be a UUT.
That is, I am using the NI card cage system and other cards in the system to test a CARD
during a manufacturing test of said UUT CARD.
The UUT uses a PLX 9030 for it's PCI interfacing.
This UUT is not designed for hot swap, and I do not bieleve it is plug and play.
Requirement:
1. I need to be able to shut off the chassis and remove the UUT when the test finishes, replace the tested UUT
with a unknown UUT, re-apply power and then test the new UUT WITHOUT having to reboot the PC.
I have tried several things, such as disabling the PCIe busses in the windows control panel, and then removing power
replacing the UUT with the next one, re-applying chassis power and then re-enabling the bus and SOMETIMES it works.
I need a very robust way to do this.
I also bought a CHROMA PXI-52906-E extender card with bus switches on it, so that I can remove power to the UUT
without shutting off the chassis. The card is supposedley designed so that when power is re-applied to the UUT, the necessary
signals to boot the PXI PCI interface is conducted, but I think something else has to be written to the card's PCI registers.
I am by no means an expert in PCI/PXI,
but I seem to have exhausted all of my reserach online in how to meet my requirements.
Perhaps there is a way for the NI8331 controller to capture PCI configuration data to the card's on system boot,
and then "replay it" to my UUT after I re-apply power to the UUT?
Or perhaps PLX makes such a tool?
Any ideas?

Pxi back plane power

HI there,
I have a PXI-1044 chassis loaded with varios NI cards, such as arbs, DIO's analogues and data aquasition cards.
I have also designed my own "Passive" PCB that just uses the supply rails on the cPCI P1 connector.
However I find that the -12V rail is not there on my own card.
Is there a power sequencer or device that turns off the rails to cards that doesnt tell the controller that it needs them ?
Can I frig this using MAX or put a wire link on the PCB connector to another pin to get the -12V line enabled ?
This is proving to be a real show stopper !
All other PXI Cards fitted to the rack function correctly !
Help please !
John
my real email address is [email protected]

John,
-12V is supplied to the slots regardless of whether there's a card present or not. If you're sure that you're looking at the right line, you may have a bad/damaged power supply or backplane.
You should probably check the voltage at the "Remote Inhibit and Voltage Monitoring" connector on the back of the chassis with a DMM. The pinout is on page 2-9 of the detailed specifications.

PXI 1010 Chassis power failed.

Now one PXI 1010 backplane power failed on PXI section, but SCXI side can power on.I ever checked nad reset circuit breaker, no help. I need your help! Who will give me a kind hand?

Roger,
If you have already checked the circuit breaker and have verified that it is not tripped, more than likely there is a power failure with the PXI portion of the power supply. I would create a phone service request at www.ni.com/ask. We can only handle returns through our phone support. At that point, if you indicate that you have a damaged product, we can work with you to get it fixed.
