GPIB diagnostic application

I would like to develop a diagnostic application in which a laptop computer
is attached to an existing GPIB network on a tool. Depending upon GPIB
events, I would like the diagnostic computer to trigger certain DAQ events.
For example, if the main computer tells a DMM to read a voltage, I would
like the diagnostic computer to recognize the GPIB command and independently
measure the voltage and several I/O states (with a separate DAQ card). There
are multiple GPIB devices and multiple modes for these devices (e.g. single
triggered acquisition for the DMM, averaging, etc.).
The GPIB analyzer software from NI looks like it performs some of what I
need. It would allow me to monitor the bus traffic, know what device was
addressed, and the command
sent to it. Unfortunately, that's all it will do.
There is no API available to tap into this functionality and be able to use
the events detected to trigger DAQ on another card.
Does anyone know of a solution for this application? A LabVIEW/NI solution
is preferred, but I can consider other possibilities. The diagnostic
application should not require any re-programming of the SW on the main
computer.
Thank you,

  • Diagnostic application in xperia z1

    hi, well wanted to ask about the diagnostic application of z1, maybe I'm the only one using it, but every time I walk slow to open and sometimes stops, I is normal or not.

  • GPIB analyzer

    I am developing an application in which a diagnostic computer is attached to a system. The system has multiple GPIB devices. What I would like to do is monitor GPIB traffic and trigger events on the diagnostic computer. FOr example, if the main system tells a DMM to measure a voltage, I would like the diagnostic computer (containing an E-series DAQ card) to independently measure the voltage and the state of various I/O lines. The diagnostic application cannot depend on any re-programming of the main system. I had hoped the GPIB+ card would have a SDK allowing captured events to trigger actions, but apparently, that doesn't exist currently. Is there another solution for this application?

    The analyzer software will only allow you to monitor the state of the data and control lines. When set, the trigger will just acts as a reference point for recorded data.
    There isn't a good way to coordinate GPIB and DAQ measurements. What you can do is poll the data or control lines in software, send out an active edge using DAQ, and use that to externally trigger the DAQ on your diagnostic computer. Be aware that this can't really be used in time critical applications.

  • VOD - application goes down after a while (only some instances)

    Hello Guys,
    I have a simple VOD application running on FMS 3.5.5 which I need to stream continuously but I'm unable to identify the correct configuration to do so. I removed as much limit details as I could from those XML file: Server.xml, Application.xml and VHost.xml.
    Basically I have arround 15 different streams but all of sudden some of them, NOT ALL, goes down with no explanation (as I could see).
    As per logs, there is no much details but "application unloaded".
    Can someone pls help me to identify what else needs to be changed in order to have those stream playing continuously? Usually they went down after some hours in idle state. But I'm not sure whether it's related to CPU/Memory usage. My server has 8GB of memory, and when I start playing all those stream the memory goes down till 52mb free (50mb to 53mb usually). "All" memory is allocated to cache, and it seems there is no problem with that.

  • 2 Network Analyzer over a single GPIB-Enet

    I've some trouble using a single GPIB-Enet interface to control two different Network Analyzer simultaneously. It looks like to be not possible (commands are sent to both the instruments even if they have different gpib addresses!). I'm trying to do this with Labview 6.1 under Windows XP. The goal is to make two different measurements and collect data on two different PCs at the same time. Thanks a lot.

    This should be possible for you to do. Many GPIB-based applications do this type of thing. Here's what I imagine you would do to get this sort of thing setup.
    1. Send data to instument A and instrument B to get them setup to take a measurement. While doing this, you can usually get them setup to start the measurement when you send a Group Execute Trigger (GET) command on the bus.
    2. Send the group execute trigger. Note, because you're using two instruments here, you may want to use the TriggerList vi to trigger more than one instrument.
    3. Read data from the two instruments.
    While you won't actually be sending the data across the bus fully simultaneously, it should be sufficient for your needs. I'd recommend using the 488.2 style vi's in
    LabVIEW, as these may be safer for avoiding re-addressing problems that you could run into if you were using all board-level calls.

  • Can't see GPIB/ENET-100 on MAX

    I am trying to test some modified code (new switch drivers) with the new switch in LabVIEW 6.1 before integrating with a delivered test set. I'm using a GPIB/ENET-100 to connect to the switch, with NI488.2 version 1.2, which is what is being used in the delivered product. The operating system is Windows 2000.
    I've configured the IP address and subnet mask on both the computer and the GPIB/ENET-100 so that they can communicate, and configured the GPIB on the computer to set the ENET box as GPIB0. The GPIB diagnostic passes. But when I launch Measurement and Automation Explorer (version 2.2, which was installed with LabVIEW 6.1) it doesn't show GPIB0, even after refreshing. If I bring up VISA interactive control I see a GPIB0, but not the switch modules which are connected to it.
    What am I overlooking?

    If your end system is on a Win2K machine, why aren't you using the current NI-488.2 driver? I know this may not look like the answer to your question, but the 1.2 driver is five years old, and whatever problems you may currently have, or may have in the future, may very likely have been addressed and corrected in the later revisions of the driver. You can download NI-488.2 v2.3 here.

    I've just get my macbook for university studying and I'm very happy about it BUT:
    I have to use the "network diagnostic" (or whatever it's called, I'm french canadian sorry :P) everytime I start my computer and I want to use internet.
    My modem have wi-fi capability, theres no problem with this. Airport works fine, it's detects correctly the network I'm using with my other computer (connected via ethernet)
    The problem is that I always have to enter manually my WEP key in order to acess the internet, and I'll also have to go trough all the steps of the diagnostic application.
    I still need some practice to use wireless technology, but I rely on your help to solve this problem.
    Thanks for your help!
    Bye bye.

  • What do the NI Automotive Diagnostic Command Set & ECU Measurement software packages really bring?

    I am looking at doing some CAN programming for the J1939 and J1708/1587 protocols.  Would the NI Automotive Diagnostic Command Set & ECU Measurement software modules even be necessary?
    What are the benefits of both modules?

    Just for reference, look here for comments on the J1939 and J1708/1587 protocols.
    The ECU Measurement and Calibration Toolkit provides a helpful API for interfacing and designing an ECU. In particular, it provides high-level, easy-to-use functions based on the Universal
    Measurement and Calibration Protocol (XCP) and CAN Calibration Protocol
    (CCP). A more detailed explanation of what is included and when it should be used can be found in Chapter 1 of the ECU Measurement and Calibration Toolkit User Manual.
    Automotive Diagnostic Command Set
    From the overview section of the product page: "NI ADCS is suitable for a range of automotive diagnostic applications
    that typically involve reading and writing parameters, accessing
    diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), flashing ECU firmware, and initiating
    ECU diagnostic test modes... ADCS benefits applications such as ECU firmware flashing tools, DTC
    reading and logging, ECU diagnostic mode interfacing, and live
    diagnostic variable monitoring and logging for on-road tests."
    Hope this helps...

  • GPIB Writing Succeeds, Reading Fails

    Operating System: Windows 2000 SP4
    NI-488.2: 2.3
    Controller: PCI-GPIB+
    Symptom: Writing to instruments is successful, reading is not
    Example using frequency synthesizer, the instrument uses only EOI to terminate reads and writes. The following NI Spy output shows a successful setting of frequency to 3000HZ and then a time-out when interrogating the current frequency setting. On receiving the ibrd command the instrument "Listen" light turns off, the "Talk" light turns on but no data is received.

    The GPIB+ analyzer record is (instrument is at address 18):
    TA0 UNL LA18

    Similar results with at least one other instrument.

    Lemuel,
    There must be something different happening between W95 and W2K. There are no reported cases of the 2.3 driver failing to do something so common. Since you do have an analyzer card, however, we can get into the bus and see what the differences are. First, let's get a capture of the W95 machine "working case". Connect the windows 95 machine to the instrument like normal, but then also daisy-chain the PCI-GPIB+ analyzer card in the other computer onto the bus. Make sure that MAX and all other programs are closed, and then run the GPIB analyzer application while you do the IFR command from the 95 machine. Make sure you have the analyzer app set to these settings. It should work like normal. Save that capture.
    Next, connect your PCI-GPIB+ board and the instrument together (without the W95 machine). Run the same capture and save that as the failing case. Look over them to see if you can find any major differences (the timing will be slightly different, but that shouldn't affect much). If you'd like to post the 2 captures here, I'll take a look at them.
    Thanks,

  • If you are torn between a Lenovo W550s and a Dell M3800

    I am sharing my Lenovo W550s and Dell Precision M3800 experiences and testing results with you.
    My Laptop Configurations:
    Lenovo W550s with Intel dual core 17-5600 CPU @2.60GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro K620M, 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD (user upgrade from HDD) with RAPID enabled
    Dell Precision M3800 with Intel quad core i7-4702HQ CPU @2.2GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, 512 GB Samsung SM841 mSATA SSD
    Applications Used for Performance Ratings/Testing:
    - Windows 7 Performance Information and Tools
    - Photoshop CS6 (Image Processor activated from Bridge)
    Applications Used for Work Testing:
    PTC MathCAD for structural engineering calculations (some over 200 pages long)
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 for photography image processing
    Core Temp 1.0 RC6
    Vendor’s diagnostics applications
    My Computer Testing Experience:
    I have owned, used and tested laptop computers since IBM announced their first model. I used IBM ThinkPads for a number of years until IBM sold the division to Lenovo. I owned and used Lenovo T-model laptop before switching to the Dell M3800 in January 2014. I bought a Lenovo W550s when my Dell failed, and it took Dell over a month to successfully repair the unit. The Dell is now working fine and allowed me to do the tests and get the results you see below. I upgraded the Lenovo from a 500 GB HDD to a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB and Samsung Magician (RAPID enabled), and that is the configuration I used to do the following tests.
    Windows 7 Performance Ratings:
    Let’s get right to it and admit the Lenovo is not as powerful a work machine as the Dell when it comes to pure calculations. Windows rates the Dell processor at 7.6, whereas, it rates the Lenovo at 6.5 calculations per second. I did not feel that difference when using the two computers and most people will not, but for intense calculations with applications that actually use quad core processors to their max, Dell will win the day. I felt no difference in image processing nor MathCAD calculation manipulation when working on one image or modifying a computer model because human intervention and decisions were almost always the limiting factors. However, running batch processes shows a difference in the laptops. Lenovo took 34 minutes batch processing 1215 images (converting to smaller size) and Dell took 31 minutes. This tells me that disk I/O bottlenecks can actually make the Lenovo perform almost at the same level with the Dell but with half of the CPU cores and thus, lower internal temperatures. RAPID was turned on for Lenovo, but not available for Dell which makes a big difference in I/O speed. Without RAPID, the Dell would run circles around the Lenovo.
    Dell also won on graphics at 7.0 compared with 6.7 for Lenovo (Lenovo Turbo Boost enabled makes an improvement from 5.9). While processing photo images, I could not feel any speed difference between the two computers while using Photoshop. There are often delays when going to and from plugin filters such as Nik and OnOne when using any processor. Those delays felt the same with both Dell and Lenovo.
    Windows rates the Dell at 7.8 for memory but the Lenovo at 7.6. Since both of my machines have 16GB of RAM, the access speed for the Dell must be a little faster.
    Display:
    I use the Intel built-in Intel HD graphics adapter for both laptops because my applications do not play well with the NVDIA adapters in the units, and I do no gaming. I disable the NVDIA adapter in the Lenovo to get longer battery life and lower internal temperatures. Disabling the NVDIA adapter in the Dell seemed to make no difference in internal temperature nor battery life.
    I use both computers in 1920x1200 pixel resolution so I can see the Photoshop and MathCAD icons and controls well enough to not make mistakes. Even though both Dell and Lenovo provide higher resolutions, they both work well scaled to 1920 pixels. Although both screens have excellent contrast and color saturation, the Lenovo screen has less glare than the Dell and, as a result, is easier to use for image processing using Photoshop when there are unshaded windows nearby.
    I did notice a color and contrast shift when viewing the Dell screen off center by just 15-20 degrees. The Lenovo contrast shifts also but not as much and the colors do not appear to shift even with large viewing angle changes. More care has to be taken to view the Dell straight on when processing photo images.
    I calibrated the screen for both computers using Spyder3 Elite and got results that were comparable. After calibration, Dell provides close to 100% sRGB gamut while the Lenovo is about 90% and the brightness of both work well for photo editing and production. The Dell was slightly better for color control, but the screen glare can be an issue when working in a building that has windows nearby.
    Keyboard:
    Both keyboards are excellent, but I like the Dell keyboard a little better. However, I have used Lenovo TrackPoints for many years, and I like that feature. It find it much easier to use than a scratch pad and it works well as a pointer control.
    The Dell keyboard backlighting turns on as soon as you start to type and illuminates the keys well. The Lenovo keyboard backlighting has three optional settings, but the brightest setting does not produce the same level of lighting the Dell produces. The Dell keyboard is thus easier to use in low light.
    I will not address the Numeric Key pad. Lenovo has one and Dell does not. I don’t use numeric keypads, so it makes no difference to me.
    Connectivity:
    USB Ports: Dell has two USB ports on each side. One on each side is powered (always on) and one is USB 2.0. Lenovo has two USB 3.0 ports on the right side and one USB 3.0 port on the left. Only one of those ports is always on. In both cases, you have to look careful to see which port is always on.
    Video Output: Dell has an HDMI port in addition to a Thunderbolt port. Lenovo only provides a Thunderbolt port; you have to use an HDMI converter to get HDMI output.
    Ethernet: Dell has no Ethernet port; you have to use an Ethernet dongle to get the conversion from USB. Lenovo has an Ethernet port. I seldom use Ethernet ports anymore since most motels have wifi, so the lack of an Ethernet port is not an issue for me.
    Battery Power:
    Dell has one internal batter. You can get it with a 91Wh or 61Wh, but you cannot easily change the configuration—you have to take the computer apart. I have the 91Wh version, and it lasts about 3 hours for me on an airplane. The Lenovo has one internal 44Wh battery and three optional rear batteries: 23, 48 and 72 Wh. You can swap out those rear batteries in the Lenovo without shutting the unit down. The Lenovo also provides an excellent power management application that enables you to select the performance level you wish to use and predicts the remaining battery time that you will get based on that selection. So, if you plan to be in a base camp in the Serengeti where you have limited access to charging stations, the Lenovo with extra batteries is the machine for you. I seldom have that type of scenario, but it is good to know I have the option.
    Heat Emission:
    The Dell has two internal fans that blow out the bottom of the unit. You can get a hot lap or do damage to the computer if you actually use it in your lap or block that vent in any way. The Lenovo has one internal fan, and it blows out the side of the unit. The Lenovo does not get as hot on the bottom. The Core Temp application indicated the Lenovo CPUs ran about 12C cooler than those in the Dell (72C versus 84C) under stress diagnostic testing at 90-100% CPU load using the vendor’s own diagnostic application. In my own experience while using the Dell for a year, heat can be an issue and probably contributed to a system board failure in my unit.
    Size and Weight:
    Dell wins the day in both categories. It is about ¼ inch thinner (not counting the height of the feet) than the Lenovo with the 23 Wh battery attached and about 0.25 pounds lighter including the batteries. Both the size and weight make the Dell feel more like an iPad than a workstation. The aluminum top and carbon-fiber base are both high tech, look good and keep the weight down. However, the lack of heat conduction in the base may contribute to over-heating issues…as it did in my case.
    Conclusions:
    There is no doubt that the Dell laptop has sex appeal with the thinner body and lighter weight. It also packs a lot of power. However, my own experience has shown that the Dell can be a high-maintenance machine. The Lenovo may have warts as well…only time will tell. However, it feels more like a reliable work horse while the Dell feels like a temperamental race horse. It will be difficult picking just one of them for treks that limit me to one laptop, but the Lenovo will probably win the day. I will take both with me when I can so I have a backup computer in my bag. Maybe I will get my wife to lug the Dell along on long international trips, and I will take the Lenovo in my bag. That would be a win-win…but at a price of course.

    The folks at NotebookCheck do the kind of benchmarks you reference. You can see their results at:
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-W550s​-Workstation-Review.137989.0.html
    The tests I ran were just to help me decide which laptop to use since I now have both.
    I do use ATTO as well as CrystalDiskMark for disk/SSD read and write testing. Of course both go off the map when you enable RAPID in the Lenovo with the Samsung 850 Pro installed. RAPID does actually speed up work processing...not just wow the I/O test software.
    I was getting about 550/450 MB/s read/write with both laptops before I enabled RAPID. With RAPID I get 3345 read and 1833 write with the Lenovo.
    Too bad RAPID does not work with all Samsung SSD storage devices.

    pureform,
    What is the serial number of the card (on a white sticker on the card)? I've assumed it is an Audigy , and it's been a long time since I had one of those, so I'm not sure what you mean by "test devices" that lets you test the mic. Are you saying that with mic selected as REC source, when you speak into the microphone, you can hear yourself from the speakers? Also, if you have the Creative Diagnostic application, try running that. (Look for it in the Audigy entry in the Creative Folder in your Program List.)

  • 24" imac video anomaly..anyone know?

    Hi all,
    I just recently purchased a customer order 24" imac with the bigger HD, Vram and sys. ram and it is sooooo nice.
    But later that day (after about 5 hours of use) as I was setting up all my preferences, I noticed that the screen kinda flickered briefly and returned back to the finder. All seemed fine, but the mouse buttons would not respond and the keyboard wouldn't respond. The mouse arrow would move but that is all. I unplugged the keyboard and plugged it back in just in case it was a USB keyboard driver that needed to be reloaded.
    And I couldn't restart because I had no keyboard usage. So I had to hold down the power button on the back for a force shutdown and then I restarted, It came up to the finder just fine, and I have never encountered it since, but now I'm kinda worried that there might be vid problem. I'm not sure.
    Has anyone heard about this and is there a good hardware diagnostic application out there instead of Techtool? I love Techtool, but I would have to wait for them to mail me a DVD since you can't download it off there website anymore?
    Sorry about the long post, and thank you in advance for your help.

    Was your machine running off a UPS at the time, or was it plugged directly into a wall outlet? If the latter, I suspect a momentary power glitch in your electric service caused this problem.

  • 3rd gen iPod not recognized when using Firewire

    The 3rd gen iPod only charges via FireWire. Given the lousy battery life provided by the device, I need to be able to sync using the Firewire port of my Macbook (Home) or my Macbook Pro (work). The device is not recognized by iTunes (or in general, no notices are given that would indicate that the device is connected). I have:
    - Restored the device via USB
    - Restored it to be Apple format (it was previously Windows format)
    - Confirmed that it DOES work with USB - but that's not what I want
    - Tried this on 2 laptops
    - Confirmed that charging via Firewire DOES work - so I'm assuming that the cable works as well
    Is there a diagnostic application that will tell me the status of the on-board firewire port?

    I luckily still had a PC around. I was able to reset it on the PC, then reformat on the Mac.

  • Is there a way of testing the logic board via Terminal?

    About 5 days ago, my mac book pro experienced the gray screen flashing folder scenario, telling me that it can't find the OS.
    I opened in Internet Recovery mode, and when opening disk utility to check my hard drive, the hard drive didn't show.
    After a breif call to apple support, it looked like my hard drive was kapput, so I bought another hard drive (something I've wanted to upgrade for a while anyway).
    The new hard drive is a seagate momentus xt 750GB, and fairly sure it's compatible as I watched a youtube vid showing me how to replace the hard drive with the very same drive.
    The disk utility cannot find this hard drive either, which means it could be a number of things, the worst being an issue with the logic board..
    I cannot open in apple diagnostic mode, but I can access terminal without an OS, can I check the logic board, or anything else that could be causing the problem from there?
    I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the problem before I have to pay to get it diagnosed.. hopefully it just needs a replacement SATA cable!
    Thanks all,
    Joe

    Did you format the new drive?  This can be done with the Internet Recovery Mode. Try booting holding the command option R keys to get to Disk Utility.

    You can run the Apple Hardware Test / Apple Diagnostics:
    may not be aware is that Apple dumped AHT this past June. New Macs, introduced in June 2013 or later, no longer include the software. Instead, they have an entirely new diagnostic application called, appropriately enough, Apple Diagnostics. You access Diagnostics exactly the same way as you do AHT: Hold down the D key at startup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5781
    New MacBooks can access HardWareTest by rebooting holding the D key, no disk required.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    or older machines Boot off your Install Disk while holding down the D key, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
    If any error codes are generated, post that code back here for interpretation.

  • How to diagnose a broken 30 pin dock connector?

    Is there a "diagnostic" application to determine if my Iphone 4 — 30 pin dock connector is fully functional? BTW - all lint and dirt has been removed (delicately). This iPhone has been able to perform TV/video out and mirror display with a (still) fully functional 30 pin to VGA connector, VGA cable and VGA equipped monitors. This phone currently cannot perform the same task. Only other variable is a conflict with iOS 6.1.3.
    Thanks for any help.
