Hardware Compatibility.

Hello,
I have just started looking over Labview 7.0 and I am trying to find
out what types of hardware connections are compatible with this
software. I will probably be using an Omega Data acquisition board as
the hub for the inputs of my system. If anyone can help I'd appreciate
your input. Thanx.

Just about any type of hardware that you can think of can be compatible with LabVIEW. What you have to consider is how much effort you want to put into it. For example, LabVIEW includes drivers for all DAQ boards from NI. Also included with LabVIEW are functions on palettes for these boards. If you use an NI board, you can be up and running in little time. LabVIEW 7 also includes a wizard for quickly creating DAQ tasks. If you buy a board from a vendor that has LabVIEW drivers, you can install them and use their functions in place of the NI ones. You may or may not get some examples from the vendor and for help, you'll get less on the NI forums (obviously). If the vendor does not have a LabVIEW driver, what you'll probably get is a DLL that you use to write your own LabVIEW driver. LabVIEW has a Call Library Function Node that is used to communicate to DLLs. This is not much different than what you would have to do if you wanted to use the vendor's DLL in a C or VB programming environment.
So, check with the DAQ vendor first. If they don't have a driver, post a new question with details on the board you want to use and see if anyone has developed a driver that they are willing to share.

NI-IMAQ hardware compatibility

Are there any hardware vendors that make Expresscard 34 or 54 cameralink frame grabbers that are compatible with NI-IMAQ? I see that NI only makes PCIe frame grabbers (not something that could be easily used with a laptop).

Hi ApersonNumber3,
Our NI IMAQ drivers only support National Instruments frame grabbers. Do you already have the camera you'll be using?

Q700 - Optical Drive Hardware Compatibility (12.7mm slot-in blu-ray)

Lenovo folks:
I would like to the replace the standard DVD optical drive on my Q700 with a 12.7mm slot-in blu-ray ROM drive (I'm not concerned with voiding the warranty). I have idenitified two possible drives but I'm not sure how the eject button will interface with the Q700's external case. Anyone have any experience or recommendations on the correct drive to purchase?

I have noted that on numerous wish lists for Mac enhancements has been Blue Ray capability. I looked at the Fast mac web site and the specifications were impressive. When I saw the price, I had to have the Heimlich maneuver performed. This is not to dissuade you or anyone else to purchase one. It simply is a reflection of my cheapness ex. for me SSD are overpriced for the value received but I take no issue for those who but them.
What I find to be very peculiar is the issue of apparent compatibility with only pre-unibody MBPs. We know that these MBP are slower than the subsequent generations. Blu-ray vidio files are huge. To load, tranferr, edit and compile these such files is best served with a fast processor. To install this on an older MBP seem like simultanously taking a step forward and a step backward.
Your list of virtues has merit but I have to take exception with your 'Future Proofing'. Apple has a habit of going down the road less traveled. If and when they integrate Blu-ray capability in their MBPs, it does not follow that the Fast Mac drive will be the same or have software compatibility.
I have both a pre-unibody MBP and a unibody MBP. I have changed the optical drive on the old machine and I have just looked inside the newer one (when I upgraded the HHD). They both APPEAR to be identical but I suspect there may be subtle physical differences. Hence this may be the reason why it can be installed only pre-unibody MBPs. (I can be bribed to take the both out and compare them!)
I would suggest to contact the technical department at OWC and find out if they are familiar with this product and what opinions they may have. I have dealt with them on several occasions and they seem knowledgeable.
Ciao.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview driver compatibility with HP Slate 2

Having big issues with Multitouch driver support and image rendering on my HP Slate 2, after installing Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
I've installed windows 8 consumer preview on my Elitebook 2740p and it works, like it was meant to run windows 8, great experience but, i tried the get it even better by installing it on my HP Slate 2, and to my disappointment, driver support for the Multitouch interface is giving me a hard time.
From scratch without any drivers, windows 8 was able to support the touch and pen interface, and i could touch and use the pen on the screen, but multitouch was not working, so i decided to install all windows 7 drivers, just like i did on the Elitebook, all drivers where installed correctly except for 2, Display card and Multitouch support.
The display driver is creating ghost images of previews windows and the Multitouch does not work, i can't pinch to zoom anywhere on the screen, or use any multitouch combinations, strange enough, after restoring the original Operating System (Windows 7), the multitouch worked, but then as soon as i upgrade it to windows 8, it stops working.
Is there a driver in the works, beta or anything, i'd really love to be able to use my HP Slate 2, running windows 8 consumer preview, that would make it a great Windows 8 tablet PC, by HP, and it would save my investment on the HP Slate 2.
Any ideas?

> Any luck on finding those drivers, or getting the Win 7 ones to work?
I think this thread started before N-trig finally came out with new drivers to help support W8...
http://www.n-trig.com/Content.aspx?Page=Windows8
FWIW in my case, TouchSmart tx2, my problem was not multi touch but Tap. I had to use my pen to "click". The new DuoSense driver has fixed that problem and allowed me to keep using Multitouch too.

T420s WWan Compatibility - H5321gw or not ?

Hi there,
I was looking through the parts lists for my T420s (4174-P4G) and noticed here :
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:show-categ...
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&DocID=PD024213
That the H5321gw clearly comes up as a part for the T420s
Is this a mistake or is this card in the whitelist in our BIOS ? As this card actually has proper Windows 8 drivers and I have one laying around, wondering if I should try putting it in or not.

Looking in the parts manual I am able to find the following:

The whitelist will require that not only the card be on there, but it is a Lenovo FRU. You are able to tell this best by ensuring the FRU number is listed physically on the card. I believe the card you are referencing can go into the T430s. Now of course, you can still give it a go and see if it'll work. If does not you'll get something like an 1803 error.(Not 100% on the error code.) But it will tell you to remove it.

BNC 2120 compatibility with Matlab 2011a & SIT

Hello,
I am trying to read data from the BNC 2120 device into Simulink. I also need to use SIT to communicate the data output from the model with LabVIEW.
I am currently using Matlab 2011a and LabVIEW 2012.
The problem I face is that the hardware is not recognized when I use the data acquisition toolbox.
Please let me know what can be done to fix this problem.
Thanks
Bharat

Hi Bharat,
The BNC 2120 is a connector block so it may not show up in the Data Acquisition Toolbox. What will show up is the DAQmx device you have connected to the block. You can find a list of supported DAQmx devices here, https://www.mathworks.com/products/daq/supported/ni-daqmx.html .
I hope this helps.

If you refer to page 74 (snapshot shown below) of the hardware maintenance manual, your unit needs a DDR3L 1600 memory module. Looking at the specs of the Crucial brand it looks like it is compatible and can be utilize. To be sure refer to the specs given by your processor manufacturer and see if DDR3L 1600 is really the proper memory module to be use.

L305-S5968 L305-S5899 Compatibility

My laptop was sitting on a stove top burner [at low heat] for approximately five to ten minutes. After I noticed my computer shutting down for "no reason" I realized the bottom was melting. Everything appears to be fine - I'm using it to write this - but the plastic cover on the bottom of the laptop is shot as well as the battery.
My question: Are the plastic cases of the L305-S5899 compatible with the plastic cases of the L305-5968's? There is an ebay auction with S5899 spare parts and it would be fairly inexpensive. I own a S5968. Would the replacement/repair be fairly easy or is the hardware intricately attached to the bottom plastic shell?
-thanks

i agree they are from the same family so it should work

Processor Compatibility for S1 sockets

I own a Satellite P305D-S8900 and need to know if the ZM-87 is a compatible upgrade for the RM-70? Considering the upgrade if no compatibility issues. Greatly appreciate any help, Thanks

Hello and welcome,
The card in that link specifically says not for Lenovo.
Lenovo laptops require cards that pass the BIOS whitelist test. They have to be both the correct model (intel XYZ) AND have a Lenovo FRU number. The FRU number indicates that they have been modified (subsystem ID, IIRC) to pass the whitelist. Reliable vendors will list the FRU # as well as the card model.
The best reference is the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your machine, or the parts list PDF. I can't access the support site at the moment to figure out which applies to the G570 and to get the actual list. Hopefully tomorrow the site will be back up.
Sorry I can't provide any better information just now.

The easiest thing to do would be to just restore the iPod to factory settings in your son's iTunes library. This process wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. From there, you can resync all of your sons original content back over to his iPod from his iTunes library.

W520 Motherboard Replacement Compatibility

I have a W520 with an i7 2760QM Quadro 1000m and the 4 RAM slots, a couple of weeks ago it died on me. Took it for a repair assessment - was told that the motherboard was dead and that the repair costs would be, for lack of a better word, obscene. Even the guy who ran the diagnostic had never seen a price quote come anywhere close to as high as what he found for mine. I could buy at least four refurbished W520s for the price of this one mobo.
So I was thinking I might just grab a mobo online and do a DIY repair, except the specific part I was quoted on (FRU 04W2036) seems to be nigh-impossible to find. However there appears to be plenty of W520 mobos floating around with different FRUs (04W2040, 04W2024, 04W2035, etc etc etc) that AFAICT look identical. I took a glance around the forums and saw nothing regarding this specific mobo serial, so I'm wondering if any, or some, or only the specific FRU 04W2036 for my specific configuration of W520 could be used to make a repair. What's the difference between all these varieties of mobos? The only thing I can think of that would seriously seperate this specific mobo would be having 4 RAM slots instead of the typical 2, but if any of these would otherwise be compatible I'd be more than willing to sacrifice a couple of slots if it meant avoiding a repair job that costs more than the whole laptop did brand new three years ago.

Good day.
If you don't already have it, you might want to download your hardware manual:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t520_t520i_w520_hmm_en_0A60078_08.pdf
Pages 135-137 show a number of W520 system boards, with some indicators of the differences, all of which appear to be permutations of: nVidia Quadro 1000M or 2000M, +/- AMT, +/- TPM and +/- RAID.
FRU P/N 04W2036 is specified as: "Nvidia Quadro 1000 M, non-AMT, TPM, no RAID adapter".
For reference:
04W2040 differs only by having RAID.
04W2035 differs by having the Quadro 2000 M, AMT and RAID, but no TPM.
04W2024 is shown on page 134, but it's listed as being for the T520.
Finally, using 04W2036 on the maintenance parts site:
http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/PromotionDisplay?promoName=pa...
shows the part as in stock. You may wish to have a look and compare the price to what you've been quoted.
Does this help?
Regards.

Power adapters and worldwide compatibility - a lesson

The standard fare today in power adapters is such that the brick itself is compatible around the world. Indeed, the input power on a Lenovo AC adapter is rated from 100-240V and 50 or 60Hz - capable of operating on any power standard. The only catch is of course the wall plug in various countries. Again, most adapters have a removable adapter-to-wall power cord and if the manufacturer has a worldwide presence, you can likely order a country-specific power cord. Lenovo is such a company and you can find power cords for most geographies, like here. I'm preparing for a trip to New Zealand, my first out of the country, and wanted to be prepared to have my lifeline (aka ThinkPad) ready for the new locale. I looked up the power cord FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) number, called up IBM parts to verify availability, and placed the order. I was also delivering a new T61 to my mother-in-law and the U.S. power cord would be a burden down there. At $2.80 each plus a flat shipping fee, it was a no-brainer.
Australia/NZ Cord
As a side note, I ordered the adapters Monday night and they arrived Tuesday morning
I open the box to find a goofy-looking wall-plug (no offense... ) and what's this - a three-prong adapter-plug???
Australia/NZ plug
It looks a heckuva lot like the old T4x 16V power adapters and I figured I got the wrong FRU, dangit! After having gloated to Matt Kohut, our resident globetrotter, about my adapter-ordering-savvy, I mentioned in passing my situation. No sooner did my lips stop flapping did Matt whisk me away to a seemingly endless drawer in his desk, filled with dozens of black rectangles. Out of it came a seemingly normal looking 65W adapter.
Two very similar power adapters
Do you see a difference in the two adapters? I didn't at first either. Ah, there it is -
U.S. adapter vs ANZ adapter
It turns out that some countries still require an extra grounding wire in AC adapters and do the three-prong plug must be used. There I was thinking in my smugness that I could get away with a new power cord alone, not so!
I hope this helps anyone shopping for power adapters or cords soon. Thanks to Mr. Kohut I have a couple power adapters perfect for my mother-in-law's new T61, so she can compute around New Zealand without needing a silly plug adapter like us Yankees will use down there.
For reference, here are the part numbers in question:
2-prong 65W AC adapter: 92P1214
3-prong 65W AC adapter: 92P1153
Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua, New Guinea power cord - 39M4960

They are different because the two notebooks use a different power system. Your R51 uses the old 16V adapters and the T60 uses the newer 20V versions. Starting with the Z60 series, it was decided to upgrade our power delivery capabilities to meet the ever-increasing power demands of mobile computing.

Windows 7 and Photosmart D6160 compatibility problem

My HP Photosmart D6160 printer used to be connected to an XP operating system computer, but that broke down and I purchased an HP P6313UK with Windows 7 Home, but I don't seem to have all the functions available to me anymore. There is no longer the solution centre so I cannot view my ink levels. Does anyone know how I can get round this problem, as reading on HP website, it says there will be issues with using it on a pc with Windows 7.

I have the same problem - have been in contact with HP support but they are really useless, you would think that there would be software available for a printer that is only 18 months old.

CVI 2009 vs. 2010: compatibility to Excel

Hello all,
I have created an application in CVI2009SP1 that exports its data to an Excel file using Excel2000 instrument driver shipped with CVI. All works well if the application is compiled and run on a WinXP machine but when run on a Win7 machine the customer complains to receive a strange error while opening the generated files:
The message basically means "The format of the file you want to open does not correspond to the type declared in its extension"
Pressing Ok will open the file regularly but I wonder what this error means and how to put it away.
I tested this situation in Excel 2007 and 2010, both starter and full edition: despite the error the files open regularly. On the other hand, the generated file cannot be opened in Word2000 due to a more severe "format not recognized" error.
I tried compiling the executable in CVI 2010 and I receive no error even if the Excel instrument is still declared as "Microsoft Excel 9.0 object library" the same as it is in 2009; nevertheless the object file associated to the instrument is newer than the 2009 version (June 30, 2010 for the library shipped with CVI2009; June 22, 2011 for the 2010 one).
I would prefer not to distribute a release compiled in 2010 as the application drives a high power equipment for research on prototypes and I cannot test it in real environment, so I tried simply to substitute CVI2009 version of the Excel interface library with the CVI2010 one and the program compiles and executes without errors.
So questions are:
Q1. Any clue as to what that error means?
Q2. Is it safe to upgrade the Excel library in CVI2009?
Q3. Any possibility to maintain compatibility to older versions of Excel?

Hi,
I diffed the source codes and they are effectively identical, while the libraries are slightly different in size (some 10 bytes) and creation date. I don't know if checking the object for differences makes sense. I haven't modified that instrument in any way.
I'll try to send to the customer a program release compiled in CVI2009 with 2010 library and see what happens: unfortunately I don't have in my office the exact copy of the target machine (Win7Pro + Office2010) to check it on.
To write the file I use the following:
errChk (CA_VariantSetCString(&MyVariant, <file pathname>));
errChk (Excel_WorkbookSaveAs (ExcelWorkbookHandle, NULL, MyVariant,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, ExcelConst_xlNoChange,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL));
While examining my code now I noted something I didn't remember: when moving data to Excel I try to get the decimal point formatting code used in the system and apply it to the data in Excel worksheet, using this code:
// Read decimal separator from the registry
strcpy (msg, "Control Panel");
MakePathname (msg, "International", msg);
RegReadString (REGKEY_HKCU, msg, "sDecimal", a, 512, &i);
// Select some columns to format
sprintf (msg, "D2:H%d", cnt + 1);
errChk (CA_VariantSetCString (&MyVariant, msg));
if (ExcelRangeHandle) errChk (ClearObjHandle (&ExcelRangeHandle));
errChk (Excel_WorksheetRange (ExcelWorksheetHandle, NULL, MyVariant, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, &ExcelRangeHandle));
errChk (Excel_RangeActivate (ExcelRangeHandle, &ErrorInfo, NULL));
// Apply the proper format
sprintf (msg, "#0%s0", a);
errChk (CA_VariantSetCString (&MyVariant, msg));
errChk (Excel_SetProperty (ExcelRangeHandle, &ErrorInfo, Excel_RangeNumberFormat, CAVT_VARIANT, MyVariant));
I wonder if this code can cause any problem when executed on a Win7 machine?
Coming to your last question, I am using excel2000 instrument driver with the code above. Situation is as follows:
- When execute on a WinXPPro machine with Excel2000 I can create files without problems. Files created can be viewed in Excel2007 full and Excel 2010 starter without errors nor warnings
- Files created by the application running in a Win7 box can be opened in Excel 2010 with the warning I posted. They can't be opened in Excel2000: I receive the error "This file is not in a recognizable format" and if I follow on I see binary code in the worksheet
