Fail to calibrate PXI-5610

Sory if this isn't the correct Board to post this question but I couldn't find a Calibration Executive Board
I'm trying to calibrate a PXI-5610 with the Calibration Executive 3.4.1 and I have the latest drivers instaled on my pc, the probem is that the calibration doesn't start and it gives this error:
"Open VI Reference in cex_Instr_RFSigGen_Init.vi->_NI 5610_RFSigGen Setup.vi->_NI 5610_RFSigGen Setup.vi.ProxyCaller
VI Path: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Calibration Executive\InstrumentDrivers\LabVIEW\RFSigGen\rssma\cex_Instr_LabVIEW_RFSigGen_rssma_Init.vi
LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located. Open the VI in LabVIEW using File>>Open and verify that it is runnable."
What can I do to fix this?
ps: I had to perform the calibration with Calibration Executive 3.2.1 because the client had some urgency...
Can anybody help
Thank's in advance

Hi BRanhel,
Please take a look at this knowledge base. This is for Calibration Executive 3.3.1 but it could work for the 3.4.1

Using Calibration Executive for PXI-5610 using PXI-5124

Hi guys,
We've been trying to calibrate PXI-5610 but the Calibration Executive software pop up an error of PXI-5122 requirement but we don't have the module, we have the PXI-5124 instead. We have tried to use the unsupport but it's not working too.
We have found that their resolutions are different
PXI 5124 http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14231
PXI 5122 http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/12615
Is this the cause of error? Is it possible to use PXI-5124 instead of PXI-5122?
FYI about our system
Chassis PXI-1010
Software: Calibration Executive 3.3
For any further recommendations, please let us know, thanks in advance.

Hi, somebody here?
I'm not sure if we have specified forum for this issue, please help let me know.
Thanks...

Error 200617 on every usage of NI PXI-5610 that was previously working

Hello,
I have been trying to use the NI PXI-5610 RF upconverter (associated with a NI PXI-5441) with VIs that were previously working, including the NI GPS toolkit and RFSG example VIs. However, with the same setups as were working previously and the examples every time I now receive the following error
niRFSG
Commit.vi<ERR>The upconverter reported the following
error:
DAQmx Error
-200617 occurred:
Measurements: Output generation was aborted by the reverse
power protection circuitry of the device. Either the output signal exceeded the
output power limit, or power was being driven back into the output of the device
by an external source. Correct the problem, then generate the signal
again.
I have tried restarting, allowing 30 minutes warmup time before trying to use the RFSG and ensuring that the chassis fans are set to high with no change in the result.
I have also tried doing a self test on the RFSG unit in MAX which fails with error 200020.

Ok, well we can take the first steps via this forum post. If we need to RMA the PXI-board we can follow up on the created service request.
First I want to start troubleshooting the Self Test error.
I have attached a application which goes through all of the tests separately so we can determine where this error is coming from. Please run all of the test provide by this application.
Thank you in advance.
With kind regards,
Casper

NI PXI 5610 procedure in Cal Executive

I am currently working with the calibration executive software version 3.3 to calibrate some PXI-5610 cards. For the AmplitudeAccuracy_Super10MHz it has me manually input two measurements. In turn it appears to perform a calculation to determine the As found dB reading on the calibration report. However, I cannot seem to understand why two measurements are made and why the calculations appear inconsistent. For the same test at frequencies from 20MHz to 2.7GHz with a power level of -50dBm I input similar numbers for both values on all frequencies but received vastly different values.
Here is a specific example:
1005MHz @ -50dBm 256average 1st value: -50.54dBm 2nd value: -65.17 As found reading on report: -.5837
1500MHz @ -50dBm 256average 1st value: -50.67dBm 2nd value: -65.12 As found reading on report: -.8231
Does anyone know what the calculations are for this procedure and why/what I might be doing incorrectly to make my measurements inconsistent?

Hi Jerimiah,
I am taking a look into your question and I wanted to clarify a few things. What hardware are you using to make the measurements? Is it the recommended hardware or an unsupported model? Could you provide a screenshot of a couple rows of the AmplitudeAccuracy_Super10MHz section of the calibration report if you have it? It would also be helpful to have a screenshot of the prompts to enter the two measurements. I am not sure of the calculation that is made based on your inputs, however I suspect the difference may be related to the passband flatness. Let me know what other information you can provide and I will continue looking into an answer.

Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
Peace, Pyxidis

I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

How do I deal with this error message when burning DVD's: The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

I am getting this error message when trying to burn a DVD: The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Memorex DVD-R 12x Any ideas?

First, try a different batch of recordable DVDs. If you still have problems, you may want to make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. The drive may be failing.

CDs work but not DVDs "device failed to calibrate laser power level for med

Hi
I've been having a problem with my disc drive.
I can burn CDs but not DVDs. Have OS 10.5.6.
While trying to burn an error message comes up saying
"This disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media?
I tried to go into Apps - Utilities - Disk utilities and repair, but this message still shows up and refuses to burn anything even in Toast.
Please help. Any advice would be valuable. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try the brands you suggested.
I don't think the drive may be dirty, because wouldn't the CDs not work as well?
Not necessarily. Different lasers, different power levels, etc.
It's really a dual drive: CD and DVD. Almost two separate devices with a common motor and platen,etc.
You can get a cleaning CD from RadioShack and elsewhere. Get the dry one with the small brushes. Works fine on everything but a notebook.

"The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate...."

Using my "new" used 20inch-iMac G5, I just successfully burned my first music cd.
Moments later, I tried (repeatedly, with a half-dozen different blank cds) to burn a second music cd, and got the following message each time:
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
1) What does that message mean?
2) What should I do next to fix the problem?
thank you

I'm really getting tired of this, so I decided to bit the bullet and try to get it fixed. (Note that I'm talking about a 2-year old G5 iMac.)
THE BAD NEWS:
Apple store genius bars see this error "a lot" (even just this week), and it's usually the optical drive that needs to be replaced.
THE GOOD NEWS:
In Apple's article Do It Yourself iMac G5 parts you can install, they say, "iMac G5 computers are designed to make it easy for you to install replacement parts if you need to. These parts are known as Do It Yourself (DIY) parts." Listed among these parts is the optical drive. Apple even provides a PDF manual describing the simple process of replacing the optical drive.
THE IRONY:
An Apple store will NOT sell you this part, even at their high price of $221. They insist on doing the installation. And the price for this 10-minute procedure -- described in their online manual as sliding the drive into place and replacing the screws -- is an additional $130 (and I'm guessing they won't do it while you wait). That seems to be a labor rate of around $780 per hour for a "Do It Yourself" replacement that they won't let you do yourself.
So Apple's $351 price to (maybe) get an old G5 iMac burning CDs again is almost 1/3 of what a brand new aluminum Core 2 Duo iMac costs.
THE UPSIDE:
Online third parties will sell you a "genuine Apple" super drive for around $145 (or a combo drive for $95) to install yourself. (Use Google to search for "imac g5 optical drive replacement cost.")

Failed to Calibrate the Laser Power?

I tried burning a MP3 CD from my 12" Powerbook G4 (867Mhz) running 10.5.1 and got the following error:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media
Has anyone ever seen/heard of this? I tried a search on the keywords and didn't find anything.

I have similar problems. CDs nearly never burn no matter what make they are. Most of the time CD-Rs don't even get recognised and even if they do they only burn properly about 30% of the time. Same with DVDs. The only DVDs that never fail me are Sony. All other brands give errors or don't get detected.
Disk Utility usually gives me the 'laser power level' error and Toast gives me various error codes. Weird thing is that the problems only started a couple of months ago. Before that I didn't have any problems burning CDs or DVDs. Once they are burnt (on another computer) my MacBook Pro recognises the CDs and DVDs fine.

Error msg: device failed to calibrate laser level

I am trying to burn a dvd using disk utility and it gives me the error message burn failed: device failed to calibrate laser level.
I can't burn with toast titanium either-gives me medium error message
Should I try different DVD-Rs? I am currently trying to use Maxells.
thanks,
John

Do a search "error 0x8002006D" in discussions. You will see you are not alone in this pesky problem.

Any solution to the "device failed to calibrate" problem yet?

Anyone been able to find a solution yet to the error "device failed to calibrate laser power level" when trying to burn a playlist using iTunes 601?
G4, 500 DP

n2 hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions
Anyone been able to find a solution yet to the error "device failed to calibrate laser power level" when trying to burn a playlist using iTunes 601?
Yes... Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'terminal command line'
drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and privileges' tick 'Unlock" ... click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
see what happens now when you try and burn... TP

Calibration Executive error during PXI-5610 sequence.

When running the PXI-5610 procedure in Calibration Executive, I get the prompt "NI-FGEN Create Arbitrary Waveform - Cannot write Real data when Data Processing Mode is Complex. Disable OSP or set Data Processing Mode to Real." The procedure the errors out with the same message when I click 'Continue'. I am using the NI PXI-5441 AWG (in place of the NI PXI-5421), but it is a selectable source during the initial configuration of the sequence.
Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a hiccup in the Calibration Executive software when PXI-5441 is selected?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi DaRock,
We do not recommend making any changes to any of the test code for calibration as these may cause problems in your test sequence. We are still currently looking into the issue, however, in the meantime, if you would like to try and experiment some changes in the test code, please make sure to backup any original versions of the files you edit so you can load them back in they cause any problems.
Just for your information, in a standard NI-FGEN application, you can manually disable OSP by accessing the OSP Enabled property from the NI-Fgen property node under Arbitrary Waveform Output»Onboard Signal Processing.

PXI-5610 Specification

Hi,
Does anyone have NI PXI-5610 Up-Converter Specification? The link on NI web http://sine.ni.com/nips/nisearchservlet?nistype=psrelcon&sortby=localesort&nid=13478&lang=US&filter=... seems to point to PXI-567X specification.
Thanks.

Luyy,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments. This is correct, the 5610 is part of the 567X RFSG unit. Those specifications are the correct ones for that device. There are 5610 specific data in that pdf. Is there something in particular you are looking for?

PXI 5610 problem

When running the PXI-5610 adjustment procedure in Calibration Executive , the main power suddenly shut off . then what problem will happen to the PXI 5610?

Thanks a lot for your reply.
After the PXI controller 's suddenly power off when performing adjustment , we restart the OS and found the PXI 5610's error infomation in the MAX : Error -200437,External calibration constants are invalid,and he card cannot be used in our Auto-Test-System anymore. I guess the calibration data in the EEPROM was missed or uncompleted,but i have no relevant softwre tools to read or write PXI-5610's EEPROM.
Could you give me some suggestions to solve this BIG problem? Thanks.

Mac OS X 10.6.8; iPhoto- photos to 'burn folder'; press 'burn' symbol. This window appears: 'Burn - The disc can't be burned, bcause the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media'; what to do next to address this?-

have Mac OS X 10.6.8; Put a few iPhoto-photos to 'burn folder'; press 'burn' symbol. This window appears: 'Burn - The disc can't be burned, bcause the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media'; what to do next to address this?-

That's a hardware issue and I'd ask on the forum for whatever Mac you have.
