GPIB and Desktop RT

I am running the following:
Desktop Labview Real Time 11.0
NI-VISA Server 5.1
and am using an NI PCI-GPIB card to connect to a couple of different pieces of lab equipment.
When I connect to this remote system from another workstation using MAX, I do see GPIB0 (PCI-GPIB) under devices and Interfaces on the RT machine, but I cannot figure out how to see the GPIB instruments that are connected to the bus.
I don't think it is a electrical problem on the bus because when I boot the workstation into windows instead of RT, I can see the instruments just fine using Max on that machine.

PS: The workstation I use to connect to the RT machine remotely runs a current version of Labview

Solved!
Go to Solution.

The current VISA Interactive Control layout is a bit differenent from the tutorial.
I do see the instruments now, but they are listed under localhost and I get an error when I try to list them on the remote machine that the GPIB controller is installed in.
I can now access the instruments in my code, but this Localhost versus Remote machine bit is confusing.

  • Web application and desktop application?

    Hi everyone,
    I am new to this platform.I have a basic doubts that whats the difference between developing application in flex as a web application and desktop application from programming point of view?Can we use same code in both cases?
    Please guide me....
    Thanks

    Hi and welcome,
    The main difference between a web application and a desktop application is that web applications do not have access and can't manipulate your local system ( you can't open a window that displays all your local files, you can't delete, rename, edit local files and so on ). Obviously, this is just one difference, there are many more ( the best would be if you google for "web aplication vs desktop application" because the same rules apply for 99% if not all the platforms you can find out there ).
    Desktop applications can have full control of your local system ( obviously, we have to take in consideration the platform we are using because since AIR is quite new in the desktop application field it is also more limited than other languages that have been used successfully to create desktop applications for years and year; like ce C# or C++ and so on ).
    Another important difference is that desktop applications usually need to be installed in order to function where on the other hand, web applications can run in the browser without you having to install the aplication you are about to view on your computer ( in some cases, like of the Flash and Flex platforms, you only require a "special player" that can display the content you are trying to access... for Flash and Flex applications you need the Flash Player installed for your browser ).
    So, before jumping into a project/platform you need to know your target. If you goal is to offer a fast, easy to access and no install required application to your users then you'll usually go with a web application. If your application needs to work with local files, maybe local databases, or it needs more control over the user's PC and so on, then you'll most likely go with a desktop application.
    With kind regards,

    Hi Kenneth,
    Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
    You can setup the session time limit in different method.
    1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
    2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
    3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
    4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
    5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
    6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK. 
    And apart also by group policy setting as below.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    -  Set time limit for disconnected sessions
    -  Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  End session when time limits are reached
    Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.

  • I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

    I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
    On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc..  But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
    "ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
    Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue.  They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
    My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago.  Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
    Very frustrating, and driving me nuts!  Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

    Troubleshooting
    Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
    Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
    **** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
    Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix )  Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use.  Now they are happy again...
    PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
    My wife's iphone 4s is still working.  Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it.  Nice feature of Ios5.  Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix.  The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
    I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working.  So the ISP is involved too!
    Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work.  No dice   Broken again.
    Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything.  I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that.  Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening.  The other clients do not do this...
    Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on.  He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap. 
    So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
    So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
    2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
    1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
    2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
    So why is this intermittantly working sometimes?  If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show.  Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working.  Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
    It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
    Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

    Good morning
    Hi Kathy,  my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community.
    If you have an old firmware it would be a good idea to go out to Cisco.com and see if there is any firmware updates. I have looked on the site for you and I see the latest firmware is:2.0.2.1
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414016&softwareid=282487380&release=2.0.1.3&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
    You can also try to reset your device to its factory settings, to reset your router please take a object that has a point and hold the reset button in on the back for "atleast" 30 seconds until the lights on the front to start flashing.
    About Mac address, you can map a Static IP with a specific mac address, You can folllow these steps in order to configure it.

  • How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?

    I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
    I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
    Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
    Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?

    Hi,
    You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
    If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times.  If you want I will look for it and post a link.

    I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work.  And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.

  • How can I use a GPIB and AT-MIO-16L with a common NI-DAQ?

    I'm using a GPIB card for recording data and a AT-MIO-16L for sending an analog output to my instrument. Earlier, both the devices (GPIB and AT-MIO-16L) were running correctly. Until I reformated my hard disk. Now I'm trying to install NI-DAQ 6.1.1 for AT-MIO-16L but that doesn't detect my GPIB card. On the other hand if I use NI 488.2 along with MAX 1.7 or MAX 2.2, I'm unable to use AT-MIO-16L. Is there a way I could get both my devices running on a common platform?

    NI-DAQ is not supposed to detect your GPIB and NI-488 software will not detect your daq board. When you installed MAX, was this from a LabVIEW driver install CD that also put a new version of NI-DAQ on your pc. Open MAX and check your currently installed versions of NI-DAQ and NI-488. They should both be listed. If you have a new version of NI-DAQ than 6.1, you can uninstall the newer version and install 6.1.

  • GPIB and RS232 communication problems

    I've been having several "interesting" problems with GPIB and RS232 communications in LabVIEW VIs.  Some I'll mention at the end for curiosity, but right now I'm facing a rather big problem.  I'm essentially self-taught at doing LabVIEW (using 8.5.1 right now), but by now I've had a lot of experience as their either has not been any drivers or pre-made VIs for the instruments I've needed or I've not been able to get the available drivers to work and had to write my own anyway (such as with the HP 3458A), but nothing seems to be working right now.  I'm not at work, but we typically find forum sites blocked anyway (I can't even download the NI drivers at work since they house them on a ftp server, go figures) so I can't give the VI itself (it wouldn't be easy to get approval even if I could) so the best I can do right now is in words describe everything I've tried.  I will be happy to post follow-ups of specific details if I can if they would be helpful.
    I've been working on a routine to read data from an MKS 670 Signal Conditioner/Display with a MKS 274 Multiplexer with 3 connected MKS 690A Baratrons.  Previously I've worked on programs using other older displays and the analog outputs which were being read by a DAQ card, but for a new project it was decided to try and just read the data directly.  I first worked with a unit with just an RS232 Serial Port which I managed to get to work, but had so much problems with garbage readings and having to add checks and re-reads that by the end no matter what delays I added between each reading and how simplified the command routine down to just 2 sequences and the read that it took at least 10 seconds to get 1 reading from each channel.
    Figuring maybe it was a limitation of the serial communications for these instruments I tried to re-work it for a unit with a GPIB port with which I'm actually much more familiar.  The problem is that I cannot get anything at all from the unit through GPIB.  Everything even the bare-bones built-in GPIB CLR function times out with no response from the instrument no matter how long I set the timeout limit and it also freezes the entire GPIB bus as well.  It isn't a waiting issue as it freezes on the very first command.  The GPIB initialization function seems to work (I typically find this to be unnecessary), but the instrument itself doesn't even respond with a status code.  I've also tried just the basic GPIB write functions with even just passing the <cr> and <lf> characters as well.  In Measurement and Automation Explorer most of the time the instrument won't even appear when doing search for instruments and when it does it shows as not responding to the *IDN? command (yes I've messed with the EOI, EOS, etc settings and I've even changed the GPIB address even though when it gets this far it confirms that I have the correct address) and even tried manually doing the *IDN?, *RST, and *CLR commands even with <cr> and <lf> characters which the manual for these units clearly states are compatible commands and NI SPY and everything show no response at all.  I've tried 2 different GPIB units, 3 different computers including several that are not online and haven't been updated for a while, and using older LabVIEW versions, extensive re-booting and resetting of computers and devices and still nothing.  I'm using an NI GPIB-USB-HS GPIB to USB adaptor which I've used extensively on other systems and even re-connected to those systems and everything worked fine.  When I hooked up equipment that I knew was working, it would either freeze the entire GPIB bus until well past whatever timeout setting I set at which point all the instruments would appear, but none responding to *IDN? queries or nothing would appear at all, or if I manually turned it off when frozen the other instruments would work and most even respond to the *IDN? queries.  The same goes for both of the GPIB instruments of this type that I tried and again for different versions of LabVIEW, difference computers (all Windows XP though), and every GPIB configuration setting I can find to mess with in every combination.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I've had all sorts of weird problems with equipment and LabVIEW (you've got to love undocumented design features) that have frustrated me before, but I've never had an instrument never respond at all especially a GPIB one.  Getting garbage yes, no response at all, no.
    The side side issues I'm just mentioning as they may be related, but I'm really interested in the above as I have working solutions for these:
    One I've had is with a Hart Scientific (prior to being bought by Fluke) 1560 Black Stack that would continually stop responding to GPIB commands when on a continual read function taking readings just every 4 seconds with 250ms between each GPIB read or write command but for up to hours in total and the times it stops responding are random as far as I can tell.  I even started sending the *RST command before and after every read or write command and still it freezes.  The only thing is to manually turn it off and then back on or manually go through the menus and manually trigger the GPIB reset routine at which point it immediately starts responding.  However, when I got sick of having to babysit it and just decided to try the RS232 serial port (as that is all it has without the extended communications module) it works fine no problem and I can even get readings slightly faster from it.  Using a Hart Scientific 1529 Chub-e it could give me data on all 4 channels every second without problems.  I just find it a bit odd.
    When I couldn't get any of the HP 3458A driver packs to work to even give a single measurement reading and just made my own using basic GPIB read/write commands using the programming manual I still have a few interesting problems in randomly when reading off the full possible 256 bytes on the bus and clearing the bus I often find garbage partial readings on the bus every now and then.  I've added a few routines to do some basic checks, but it is annoying.  What is really weird is when just doing basic DC Voltage reads the "-" sign will randomly be dropped from some readings (started as about 1 out of every 5, down now to about 1 out of every 10).  Fortunately I'm taking several readings and averaging and taking the standard deviation with limits on the deviations and basically added a routine to say if there is even 1 negative number take the absolute value of all then make all negative, but again I find it weird.
    Thanks.

    Greetings Leif,
    I understand you have completed extensive troubleshooting techniques to pin-point the problem with the GPIB communication. To begin, I want to ask you a few questions to help me understand your set-up and the issue at hand.
    1) Is the NI GPIB-USB-HS cable the one which cannot communicate with your instrument?
    2) When using the GPIB-USB-HS, does the GPIB interface show up in MAX?
    3) If yes, does the instrument appear in MAX after scanning for instruments (from what I understand in your issue, it does so in an intermittent manner..)?
    4) What driver version of VISA do you have installed in your computer?
    5) Are you able to communicate to the same instrument using another GPIB cable?
    Thank you for trying out some of these steps again, but we want to make sure we rule out other aspects in the systems which might be affecting the GPIB communication.
    As for your other issues, please post seperate threads for each so we can help you accordingly. Thanks!

  • Remote App and Desktop Login Does NOT work

    Hello there,
    I have an easy one for you all.  I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter off a server at a university.  This server is only intended to be shared with ~10 people doing various tasks like using programs installed and storing data.  As
    of now, I only have been able to do RDP from home with it.  Having tried to setup remote app and desktop, it only works on the server itself and not on other computers, both on the same subnet and a completely different IP address altogether.  Let
    me break down my questions:
    1.  Though the security certificate is  installed in Trusted Root Authorities, but the site is only trusted on the server and not on any of the other computers.  How do I get the others to trust it?
    2. Number 1 except this occurs in the Remote Desktop and App window as well.
    3. Adding users would be under active directory administrative center-->[my server]-->Users-->Add  right?  I guess I cannot play with 'User Accounts' in control panel anymore.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Also, if anyone thinks I am better off doing other things like virtual desktop, then I am all ears.  I just want to keep things as simple as possible.
    Regards,
    Ben

    Hi,
    Firstly, how to you reach the server from Internet, via host name, public IP address or VPN?
    If you need to remote to the server via host name, can you nslookup the host name and get the correct public IP address of it?
    Do you install the AD DS role on the server? Please let us know if you need the active directory environment.
    Thanks.

  • Downloads and Desktop no longer exist on my Macbook Air

    Hello -
    I am at a loss as to the issues I have been facing on my Macbook Air - OSX 10.9.5.  I have been experiencing a slew of issues, which I think may be symptomatic of something larger...  Here are a list of issues I have found so far:
    1. I have no downloads folder.  Under Finder, there is an icon for Downloads and Desktop but they are not folders and when I doubleclick on them, I get a popup that says "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Downloads” can’t be found."  Same thing with Desktop.
    2. I cannot save anything to my desktop.  The error reads "You do not have permissions to save files where screenshots (or whatever file) is saved." 
    3. I cannot download files.  I really need to launch and download GoToMeeting, but each time I try, it gives me the error "Unarchive File has Failed." 
    4. I don't have Flash capabilities, even though I do have flash on my laptop.
    I have talked with Apple Tech Help 2xs - they advised me to reinstall OSX. I did that, this did not solve the problem.  I then erased my disk utility, after backing up, and reinstalled OSX.  Still, no resolution to my problems.
    Any ideas on what could be happening? 
    Thanks so very much,
      Bea

  • I've lost the finder and desktop icons

    Purchased new iMac 10 days ago but did not immediately transfer data from old computer.  When I did, I transferred from a Backup on Time Machine using Migration Assistant .  I did not merge the two users I had the New Jon (new computer)  and the Old Jon (old computer transferred to the new one).  I transferred applications and documents but did not transfer the computer and network settings. My reason for two users was that I knew there were programs on the old iMac (10.9.5, early 2008) that did not work on 10 and I was hoping to cherry pick.
    However, the new iMac (10.10.2) wasn't seeing any of the desktop files in either user from the old Mac.  I decided to delete Old Jon keeping New Jon and starting over again.  When I did that, none of the Old Jon applications were deleted and are usable for both users AND the Finder is missing.  Clicking on Finder it says that the Finder can't be opened.  The finder had been working on both users on the new computer up to the point at which I deleted Old Jon. 
    Interesting to note that at one time (I don't remember if I was upgrading from 9 to 10 or it was a 10 upgrade) but the Finder  on the old Mac also disappeared.  I was on forums and seemed to be a problem that many people had.  For me, the only thing that seemed to work was opening Activity Monitor and force quitting Window Server and after that the finder and desktop icon showed up.  So I'm thinking it must be a program or file I have on the old computer.  So, I thought I'd try downloading 10.10 figuring if I reinstalled I would get where back to an "out of the box" computer. 
    Even though it said I was downloading 10.10 the new install said it was still 10.10.2.  All of the applications from the old Mac were still there and there was still no finder.  I created a couple of new identities  in the New Jon computer.  Both of them have access to the finder but the Main identity does not.  I have noticed that if you log under under one of the new identities and then go to the Main identity the Finder is there - but not if you log into the Main Identity first.
    Can anyone give me hint as what I might do to where I might look or steer me to another forum?   Hope this isn't too confusing.  Thank you so much
