Getting all 8 lines of PCI-6534 card operational

I've recently purchased a PCI-6534 and am trying to do some simple applications to learn more about it and LabView. Unfortunately - only 3 or 4 of the Digital Lines for each port are working. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might configured wrong?
I'm trying to use the examples from the 653X.llb: "Read from 1 Port" , "Read from 2 Ports"
Thanks for the assistance!

Hi:
Have you tried testing the lines in Measurement & Automation Explorer? To test the ports in Measurement & Automation Explorer, expand devices and interfaces; right click on the PCI-6534 and select test panels.
You can use pin 1 which supplies constant 5V to test the ports:
port 0(Lines 0:7) -> pins 10,44,45,12,13,47,48,15.
Also try writing to the lines and see if that works. If it does not work in Measurement & Automation, the card might be bad. So its good place to check first.

Can't install multiple PCI-6534 cards on a Windows NT 4.0 machine

We're trying to install two PCI-6534 cards on a PC running Windows NT 4.0, under NIDAQ 6.91 (Labview 5.12). NI MAX shows the first card, but won't find the second one. We actually have 3 cards, and have tried various combinations and orders, but it will only find the first card in all cases.

Hello;
This is looking like an IRQ allocation issue.
Different vendors has different ways of allocating those IRQ to the PCI slots, depending on the BIOS used.
One suggestion is to upgrade the BIOS and try that out again.
Hope this helps.

Setting parameters for synching pci-6534 cards via RTSI bus

I have been performing high-speed,
buffered, looping output with one pci-6534 card. I am now adding
a second 6534 card that I need to sync to the first card via the RTSI
bus. I have successfully used the RTSI bus to see the master REQ1
and ACK1 signals on those channels of the slave (seen at a connector
block), using the "RTSI control" vi. I simply set the master and
slave as transmitter and receiver, respectively, over the RTSI bus.
The question is: Once I have used the RTSI control vi to share the
necessary signals, do I need to do anything in my "dio config," "dio
write," or "dio start" vi's in the looping output code for the 2nd 6534
card to let it know that its REQ, ACK, STPTRG, and CLK signals are
coming from the bus? For example, in the buffered pattern looping
output vi, the "dio start" vi has choices of "internal" or "RTSI
connection" for its clock. My master board's code simply uses the
internal. Does my slave need to be set to RTSI connection, or,
once I have shared the clock signal over the RTSI bus, is that
effectively the internal clock for my slave too?
I apologize it this question is confusing. Unfortunately, so is the issue.

Hello bwz,
When you are performing synchronization across the RTSI bus you need to specify that the slave device should get its clock signals from there. You would use the digital clock config VI to do this. If you look in the example finder, you will find synchronization example VIs that do the same kind of thing for analog input. To find the examples, open the example finder by going to Help >> Find Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> Traditional DAQ >> Multiple Device.
If you are just getting started developing your application, you may want to consider using DAQmx. There are many more examples available to look at for this type of synchronization. To find these examples in the example finder go to Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Synchronization >> Multi-Device. To use your PCI-6534 with NI-DAQmx, you must have version 7.4 or later. The newest version is DAQmx 7.5. You may also want to look at this tutorial about synchronization with DAQmx.
I hope this helps!

How to get ALL command line parameters

Hi,
Is there possibility to get all command line parameters which
Flex builder invokes when I press RUN button ?
I am asking because I want to create mxmlc ant task with the
same parameters as Flex builder.
I wrote something like that below but I have a problem with
invoking remote function, it seems that poduced SWF inf flex
builder an my script (below) arent the same - and mayby have some
security differences.
Any Ideas how to get all compiler argumets from flex builder

Can I get more than 2 StartTrig and 2 REQ inputs from a PCI 6534 card ?

I have an application where I like to use one 6534 card to receive several digital inputs. The digital inputs are a clock, data and a start trigger pulse. I have 3 sets meaning that I need to receive 3 clocks, 3 start trigger pulses and 3 data inputs, all independent of each other. So, is there any way to configure the 6534 card to trigger on a pulse connected to StartTrig, then sample data on each clock but do this for 3 inputs. I'm using pattern generation in which I tie one clock to the REQ1 and another clock to REQ2 as well as connecting my start trigger pulses to StartTrig A and B inputs, repsectively. So, I've run out of starttrig and req inputs.
Can any of the all pu
rpose digital I/O pins be configured as additional REQ and StartTrig inputs or do I need another board ?
thanks

Hello;
Unfortunately, the 653x family only allows 2 different and independent handshaking groups. So, it's not possible to have three independent lines being clocked by 3 diferent clock signals.

Cannot get high transfer rates with PCI-6534

I am using a PCI-6534 in the Pattern I/O mode for performing data acquisition. The data rate I am getting for reliable data is about 2MS/s. I need 8MS/s, but do not get reliable or correct data at this rate. According to the 653X User Manual the benchmarked rate is 20MS/s, but I seem to be getting nowhere near this.

How is your memory?

Can I find the part numbers for the output drivers on the PCI-6534 Card?

We are planning to use an NI-6534 card to test very sensitive hardware. The DAQ will simulate the interface to which this particular piece of hardware will be connected.
Our concern is that there is some way that we can damage our hardware during test.
The best way to insure that this is not a concern would be to say that the DAQ interfaces to our hardware in the exact same way as our real interface. This of course is not likely, so we need to understand the differences. To do this I think we need to compare the I/O spec of the devices directly connected to our hardware under test on both the DAQ and our interface.
Of course we need to know the part number of the NI I/O output drivers.
The kind of data I think we are interested in is:
Voh, Vol, Ioh, Iol, and transition times...
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi goldbach,
The other specification you were looking for, slew rate, is typically between 2.75 and 4.5 ns depending on your load. The following knowledge base discusses briefly on this point.

How to get all the line items for each Purchasing Document ?

Hi,
There are multiple purchase orders (EBELN) in PSA with different line items (EBELP). But, when loaded into ODS from PSA, I am getting purcahse orders with only one Line item.
Eg.,If the EBELN has a Record# 4000005 and has 3 line items in it (10,20, 30), I am receiving 10 or 20 or 30 Line item.
As there are more than one line item per PO, how can I retreive all of them?
Also, there are no conditions / routines in transfer structure and update rules.
Please let me know

problem solved.
I moved the EBELP field from Data fields to Key Fields in ODS.

Where can one get power consumption figures for PCI-E Cards?

as i wrote before im putting together a fairly decent rig, and im doing some heavy duty research into the actual total power requirement for it, using PSUCalc2003.v2 spreadsheet to calculate the total, however ive been unable to get the power consumption figures for my nvidia based graphics accelerator a Gigabyte Tech GV-NX62TC256DS with turbo cache, my guess is that this card is at the lower end of the power consumption spectrum but it would be nice to know the exact figure,
any ideas on where can i get those figures ?
thanks.....

If you buy the 5770 from Apple as an upgrade kit it has the cable(s) - two for the 5870, one for 5770.
If you bought a mac pro mid-2010 it may very well have come with cable(s), that I have never read or heard from others.
OWC has not always inicluded cables but has charged extra, as they did with eVGA GTX285 where Apple sold with cables, and buying from OWC added another $30? or more to the cost with cables "extra" is what I recall.

Using a PCI-6534 card, how does one write and read from the board simultaneously after being triggered on the StartTrig input ?

I've copied two NI-developed VI's into a single VI. The first VI is the LV 'Buffered Pattern Input-Trig VI' under examples/daq/digital/653x. Using an external data generator, I send it a pulse on StartTrig, a clock on REQ1 and data on DIOA0. The start pulse is negative going so I set the front panel input to trigger on "falling edge" with clock set to 'external'. This VI is configured as Port 0 and Group 0. Once this VI is triggered I need to then start another VI which is simply the Buffered Pattern Output VI that also ships with LV. This VI is configured on Port 2, Group 1. This VI is used to simply send out a previously d
efined array of data on DIO C0, C1 and C2.
So, I receive a Start Trig, then clock in data, and then immediatly want to send out data. My problem is that I can't figure out when my receiving VI gets triggered on the StartTrig input. If I know when the trigger occurs, then I can wire this condition to a case statement and activate the second, or write VI. Without having the Trigger condition be met to enable the output VI, the problem is that it always outputs without even be triggered. So, where or how do I tap to find out when the StartTrig happens ? In other words, how do I know when the receiving VI has received a StartTrig pulse. There's got to be a way to do this, and I need to run in continious mode, so I can keep receiving and sending out data over and over again. Any ideas ? If your answer is to look at the examples, please tell me exact and specific examples, because I have not been able to find any examples directly related to my goal. thanks.

Nestor-
I tried your first suggestion of connecting ACK1 to ACK2. But, I get Error 10010 at Digital Buffer Control when I run the VI. I've added an array of 32 ones and zeros to the output VI so that I have some data to write. What's really interesting is when I have a scope probe on ACK1 and ACK2 which are now common, the voltage level is less than 5 volts, around 4.7, but there is something wrong with the signal, a few spikes, I've seen this before, like 2 signals are trying to drive the same output or something. When I remove the connection between ACK1 and ACK2 the signal looks perfect since ACK1 is being driven by my data generator. This leads me to believe that you can't connect ACK1 to ACK2, or atleast you can't do it with the way I have the VI'
s configured. Also, I have a scope probe monitoring DIOC0 (since I'm writing to Port 2,which is Port C) and I don't see any data coming out, which makes sense since I get the error mentioned above.
In terms of my configuration, I have 2 VI's on the block diagram. I have Buffered Pattern Input-Trig.VI with the following settings:
Group: 0
Device: 1
Port List: 0
Buffer Size: 1000
Clk Soruce: External
Trigger Type: Start Trigger
Trigger Condition: Trigger off Falling Edge
# of pretrigger points: 0
For the 'writing VI' I copied the Buffered Pattern output-Trig.VI with the following setup:
Device: 1
Group: 1
Port List: 2
#of updates: 1000
Clock Source: Internal
Trigger Condition: Trigger on falling edge
So, do you have any ideas on what might be wrong ? Just realized that I can attach files, so my VI is attached.
thanks.

Line connection between PCI-6527 card and instrument

Sorry for my foolish. My poor electronic knowledge prevent me from fully understanding what you explained in your last reply and need more help.
In fact, we plan to control two instrument switchs, one is for the Magnetic_Suspension_Control(MSC) , another is for control the Weight-changing-Device(WCD).
The instrument manufacturer provide a cable for the MSC and WCD. The cable looks as follows: there is one connection to the computer(25-pin subD-plug) of which two cables lead away, one to the MSC(6-pin Lemosa)and the other to the WCD(15-pin subD-plug).
The interface of the MSC is internally realized by using only two simple optocouples(OC). Their input-pins are connected directly to the 25-pin SubD-plug of
cable as follwing:
25-pol.SubD; meaning
Pin 9 anode of OC1-LED
Pin 7 anode of OC2-LED
Pin 23 cathode of OC-LED
Pin 18 cathode of OC-LED
Because of the optocouplers draw some current from the NI-card, the manufacturer let me make sure that the NI-card can source circa 7mA(better 10mA) on each pin.
The interface of the WCD consists of three simple TTL-level inputs, which are also directly connected to the 25-pin SubD-plug of our cable as following:
25-pol.SubD; meaning
Pin 4 TTL-Input (remote) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
Pin 3 TTL-Input (weight 1) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
Pin 2 TTL-Input (weight 2)(0-1V/3.5-5V)
Pin 5 common ground
The current drawn by the TTL-inputs is not worth mentioning.
By controling the logic state of these above pin states through labview, I then can control the instrument switch.
Based on above information, how should I choose right resistor for achieving the suitable v
oltage and current on each pin and How should I connect line between PCI-6527 card and 25-pin sub-D plug(I plan to use port 3 of PCI-6527 card).
Thanks, your help is greatly appreciately

Zhou,
My best recommendation is that you find someone who can give you a better and more direct advise in electronic circuiting. We don't have in our hands the manual of your instrument in order to clarify what it needs and where, although you gave some pin numbers we cannot take the risk of advising something that we don't have the absolute knowledge of. We can give you all the details you want about our card and what does it gives, but you have to decide how are you going to connect it to your instrument. If you recall your email about the manual, in fig. 3-6 page 3-12 you can see a picture of how to connect a TTL driven device, in the last email we gave you an option of how to connect the resistor and where, please read it again, basically I am going to repeat the same, we feel sorry about not been able to give you more help, but is opt to you to find help in electronic theory. Remember in my last email that I told you the 3 cases in which your instrument may need either voltage, current or both, and I told you how RL will change and what new resistors you may need to connect. Review that and make tests with your switch, your question about how to choose the right resistor is answered in the previous email and how to connect lines between the board and the cable of your instrument you have both pin outs... match them... the person who has in his hands the manual and the instrument is the best person to choose how to interfase both appliances... we are sorry Zhou but if we advise you about pin connections of your device with our blindness we have of your device we may make a mistake, we told you about our pins and how to choose resistors.
If you need more direct assistance on this Zhou you may better try to call us, by text messaging is limited and this requires direct guidance. If you decide to call us you can find instructions at www.ni.com/ask hope you move forward in your application as soon as possible.

How to get all lines in a paragraph?

Hey all,
I've got a confusing question, see the codes below:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
          set doc to open orphan_check
          tell doc
                    set myPage to page 4
                    set myTextFrame to first text frame in myPage
                    set myParagraph to third paragraph in myTextFrame
                    set lineList to lines in myParagraph
                    if (length of lineList is greater than 1) then
                              set hasMultipleLine to true
                    else
                              set hasMultipleLine to false
                    end if
          end tell
end tell
I'm trying to get all the lines from one paragraph by using "set lineList to lines in myParagraph", and it returns an error. Also, if try "count of lines of myParagraph", it returns 0 all the time. But it works well for the text fame. For example, if I tried "set lineList to lines in myTextFrame", it can break the line correctly. So any suggestions? I am trying to do the orphan check, that is see if the last line in each paragraph contains enough characters.
Thanks~

Well,
'                    set myParagraph to third paragraph in myTextFrame'
returns the content fo the paragraph ...
try to set:
'set myParagraph to object reference of third paragraph of myTextFrame'
or just:
count lines of paragraph 1 of first text frame
Hope it'll be of some help

Hello Balu Latpate
Thanks for u r reply
but their is no entries in the GLPCT and GLPCA

How can i read all the lines from a text file in specific places and use the data ?

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(@"c:\wmiclasses\wmiclasses1.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
if (lines[i].StartsWith("ComboBox"))
And this is how the text file content look like:
ComboBox Name cmbxOption
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
ComboBox Name cmbxStorage
Classes Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting
Classes Win32_TapeDrive
What i need to do is some things:
1. Each time the line start with ComboBox then to get only the ComboBox name from the line for example cmbxOption.
Since i have already this ComboBoxes in my form1 designer i need to identify where the cmbxOption start and end and when the next ComboBox start cmbxStorage.
2. To get all the lines of the current ComboBox for example this lines belong to cmbxOption:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
3. To create from each line a Key and Value for example from the line:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Then the key will be Win32_1394Controller and the value will be only 1394Controller
Then the second line key Win32_1394ControllerDevice and value only 1394ControllerDevice
4. To add to the correct belonging ComboBox only the value 1394Controller.
5. To make that when i select in the ComboBox for example in cmbxOption the item 1394Controller it will act like i selected Win32_1394Controller.
For example in this event:
private void cmbxOption_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
InsertInfo(cmbxOption.SelectedItem.ToString(), ref lstDisplayHardware, chkHardware.Checked);
In need that the SelectedItem will be Win32_1394Controller but the user will see in the cmbxOption only 1394Controller without the Win32_
This is the start of the method InsertInfo
private void InsertInfo(string Key, ref ListView lst, bool DontInsertNull)
That's why i need that the Key will be Win32_1394Controller but i want that the user will see in the ComboBox only 1394Controller without the Win32_

Hello,
Here is a running start on getting specific lines in the case lines starting with ComboBox. I took your data and placed it into a text file named TextFile1.txt in the bin\debug folder. Code below was done in
a console app.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
internal class Program
private static void Main(string[] args)
var result =
from T in File.ReadAllLines(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "TextFile1.txt"))
.Select((line, index) => new { Line = line, Index = index })
.Where((s) => s.Line.StartsWith("ComboBox"))
select T
).ToList();
if (result.Count > 0)
foreach (var item in result)
Console.WriteLine("Line: {0} Data: {1}", item.Index, item.Line);
Console.ReadLine();
