HELP -FPGA SPARTAN 3E-100 CP132 WORKS WITH LABVIEW FPGA ?

HI EVERYBODY, IM TRYING TO USE MY FPGA BOARD WITH LABVIEW, BUT I DONT KNOW THAT IF ITS COMPATIBLE, I INSTALLED DRIVERS, FPGA MODULE, AND LABVIEW 2012, IM USING WINDOWS 7 32 BITS, AND AFTER I COMPILE ITS SAID :
LabVIEW FPGA called another software component, and that component returned the following error:
Error Code: -310601
NI-COBS: Unable to detect communication cable.
Please verify that the communication cable is plugged securely into your computer and target. Also verify that the appropriate drivers are installed.
THANK YOU .

Hi dvaldez2.
LabVIEW FPGA does not offer support for any third party hardware, other than the Spartan 3E XUP Starter Kit. Those are probably the drivers you downloaded.
http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/bycode/spartan3e?opendocument&lang=en&node=seminar_US
However, this driver only supports the Starter Kit board itself (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,790&Prod=S3EBOARD). You can't use the driver with any other FPGA from Xilinx.
Hope this helps.

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p. 4:3....
The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
The video does play back on my system no problem.
Any ideas?

Problems getting started with LabVIEW FPGA

Two (probably) related questions:
1. I am trying to get started with LabVIEW FPGA, and I am having trouble using a host VI to test my FPGA VI. I started with a basic QAM modulator VI, to be run on the FPGA, and I have reached the point where I need to verify the logic and timing with this VI running on the development computer with simulated IO. I have tried various combinations of putting the code inside single-cycle timed loops vs not; putting the modulator block directly into the host VI, and using the "FPGA reference" block. When neither the host VI nor the modulator VI use a single-cycle timed loop, I see correct behavior. In every other case, the output of the VI is either absent or incorrect. I need to use a single-cycle timed loop in the FPGA VI to properly verify timing behavior (as far as I know), so the one functioning case is not enough for me.
I'm sure there is a key step I'm missing or misunderstanding, but I have not been able to figure it out myself yet. I've attached my modulator diagram as well as two different attempts at host VIs. I can share other information, but I'm not sure what is most relevant.
2. I am also trying to test a simple wrapper VI for the Xilinx FFT block, and I am having trouble accessing FIFOs inside the host VI. I thought this would be relatively straightforward, but when I tried to change the "method" on an "invoke method" block, there were no options for accessing FIFOs, as I understood there should be. This is a total roadblock for me. These two diagrams are also attached, the test diagram shows the options available to me for the "invoke method" block.

I had to combine the diagram images; in case they are hard to follow this way, see the individual images here: http://imgur.com/a/oB6OD .
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello Monguin61
If you are having problems reading from DMA FIFO's you should test them using a very simple code to understand their behavior. First, you could start taking a look to the linked documents:
Reading DMA FIFOs from Host VIs (FPGA Interface)
Using DMA FIFO to Develop High-Speed Data Acquisition Applications for Reconfigurable I/O Devices
FIFO.Read (Invoke Method)
Then you could test and analyze a simple example to understand how it works, for example this one: Simple DMA FIFO Example for FPGA.
Check the references when you are using DMA FIFO's, I noticed you did not connect them in the second picture attached.

Where can I found hardware to get analog signal from VCR and work with labview and then sample this signal in very high frequency?

I am trying to build a Digital Video Recorder using Labview. The problem is that I found that Labview sample the signal in the order of milisecond. I wanted it to be in the order of microseconds. Also I am looking for a cheap Hardware solution if it is possible

Your question does not make a lot of sense to me, so I will just point out a few things.
1. The PCI-1411 works well with VCR signals. It has a BNC connector as well as a S-Video connector. The price is under $1000, so it is fairly reasonable. The amount of time you save getting it to work with LabVIEW is worth any extra cost.
2. The PCI-1411 is sampling three colors at 30 frames per second, with an image resolution of 640x480. This is the best resolution you are likely to get from a VCR signal. The sampling rate for each byte in the image is about 28 MB/sec. This is in the microsecond range that you are looking for, I think. If you are only interested in the raw signal instead of the image, you could look at the high speed digitizing boards NI sell
s that acquire at higher rates.
If this information isn't really what you were looking for, perhaps you could clarify your question.

Looking for a way to get my Product ID and Vendor ID so I can enable my Radium 49 USB MIDI keyboard to work with Labview 7

Looking for the Product ID and Vendor ID for my Radium 49 USB MIDI keyboard to work with Labview 7
Is there a tool to find out the Vendor ID and Product ID for a USB device?
Example: of what I'm looking for
The Product ID for National Instruments DAQPad-6020E is 0x12C0. The
USB vendor ID is 0x3923. This is a 16-bit hexadecimal number(1093)
(that is decimal 4243).
Thanks for all the fast responses this newsgroup RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

How To Find The Vendor and Product ID for USB Devices?
Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-VISA
Primary Software Version: 3.3.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Problem:
I want to make an NI-VISA driver that requires the vendor and product ID?
Solution:
There is a utility called USBView,
free from Windows, attached below, which you can use to view what is
connected to your computer's USB ports. It is necessary to load this
program and connect the USB device in development. Upon selecting the
device in USBView, one can then look on the right side of the
application window to obtain the Product ID and Vendor ID. This will
allow you to enter in the correct IDs when creating a driver .inf file
when using the VISA Driver Development Wizard. For more information
about how to use the VISA Driver Development Wizard see the related
links below.
Note: It is necessary to keep the hexadecimal
(0x####) format. Do not remove the "0x" hexadecimal format preceding
the ID number.

Will our existing drivers work with LabVIEW 8.x?

We have drivers for some of our DAQ products that were developed in LabVIEW 6 or 7.
Is there any reason these drivers would not work with the latest versions of LabVIEW?
We ask because there seem to be some customers in Europe who believe our drivers do not work with LabVIEW 8.5, but we know there are users with LabVIEW 8.0 and 8.1 using the drivers without problems.
Any thoughts or suggestions, or are there any known issues with older drivers in LabVIEW 8.5?
Regards,
Roger Hammerquist

Hi Roger,
In general, the latest versions of LabVIEW will work with older
versions of the DAQ drivers. However, it is certainly possible that some of
the older drivers could have some conflicts.
How “old” are the driver versions that your customers are
using? Specifically, what version of the
driver does your customer report seeing the errors with? Is the
customer using the same operating system that the original program was written
for? Is the customer seeing problems
upgrading the VIs from LabVIEW 6 or 7 to LabVIEW 8.5?
The suggestion to work with someone to try it out is excellent.
Posting the specific driver versions
seeing the conflict, might also shed some light on the issue.

RS 422 @ 8Mbit/s is it possible with Labview FPGA??

Hi,
I've to read and write data over an RS422 link at a rate of 8Mbit/s.
Do you think it's possible to implement RS422 @8Mbit/s with labview FPGA?
I know that I will have to make electrical adaptation to use RS422 signals with FPGA card.
Can the FPGA IP available on this website do this?
Thanks a lot
Julesjay

Christophe wrote "Yes it's possible to implement this into FPGA, if you adapt the electrical signal."
Are you sure ?
Depending on if that spec is baud vs bit rate and the over-sampling implemented in most serial read logic, the FPGA may not be able to cycle fast enough.

Does anyone have an example of a c++ TCP/IP client that works with labview TCP?IP server ??

I have the labview TCP/IP client/server working fine, but now I need to do this were labview is the TCP/IP server and the c++ program is the client. Does anybody have a simple C++ TCP/IP client that works with labview TCP/IP server ????

Thanks, you were right, we modified the c++ program to include the port # in the IP address and it worked.We also forgot to convert the port #. I included my labview and c++ program.

LabVIEW FPGA: An internal software error in the LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred

Hi,
I am trying to build a LabView FPGA VI. During compilation, I always get error stating "LabVIEW FPGA: An internal software error in the LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred. Please contact National Instruments technical support at ni.com/support". At the time, comiplation process is almost at the end. "Final Timing (place and route)" shows as completed. When Checked the Xilinx log session, at the end it states that " Process "Generate Programming File" completed successfully". However, I do not see any generated bitfile.
When clicked on error details, it shows following:
LabVIEW: An unknown error occurred.
Error -2629 occurred at Error occurred while loading XML string. Invoke Node in niFpgaXml_PrettyPrint.vi->niFpgaWriteBitfileXml_Core.vi->niFpgaCompileWorker_CreateBitfile.vi->niFpgaCompileWorker_JobComplete.vi->niFpgaCompile_Worker.vi:6460001
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: An unknown error occurred.
I tried multiple times but so far no luck to generate bitfile for this VI. What could be wrong here?

Help getting my headset/mic to work with my Audigy 2 ZS I/O

Hi,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with the external I/O dri've. I am trying to plug my headset/mic into my external I/O dri've, however I can't get the microphone to work. I have used the headset/mic with my other computer without any problems, so I know it is working. There has got to be a problem with the I/O connections or the way I have set up the Audigy 2 ZS.
Here are the connections I have made:
Headset speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub headset port --- Works great.
Mic speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub Line /Mic In port --- Doesn't work.
I have tried talking to a friend using Skype as well as using the Windows XP Sound Test Wizard, neither once picks up my voice from the mic.
Thanks for the help, I am at my wits end with this thing.

Thanks,

Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment. But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display. Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
Thunderbolt Display
Lion OS (all updates installed)
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers. I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7. When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds. But the thunderbolt quickly goes black. My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker. Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel). If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community. I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.

Help: Can't get iTunes to work with VTBook from Village Tronic

After installing a Village Tronic VTBook display card into my windows laptop, iTunes will no longer recognize/sync with my 5th Gen iPod. Additionally, CPU useage gets maxed out between service.exe and iPodService.exe taking 98% CPU.
When I uninstall the VTBook drivers and roll-back the system to a restore point before the drivers installed - everything works fine between iTunes and iPod.
I'm using v7.0.2.16 of iTunes and v1.2.1 iPod firmware. I've tried both the v2.4 and v2.3 VTBook drivers and I'm at the end of my rope and ready to return the VTBook card.
My question is: has anyone else experienced this and/or does anyone know how to get it the iPod to work with the VTBook drivers installed?
Thanks.

Getting the labview 8.6 pid toolkit to work with labview 8.5 student edition

Hi I am working on a project for college,I just bought the labview pid toolkit 8.6 but it wont load as i use labview 8.5 student edition,am i stuffed or can i get a version to work with my edition and send this one back??hat is the best thing to do?
I am badly stuck please help.I cant afford to pay for an upgrade to 8.6?
Thanks

You could try to do a File->Save for Previous Version on the PID VIs that you want to use. However,
if one of the PID subVIs was saved without a block diagram then this
won't work. Also, I'm not sure if the toolkit is backwards compatible
in this way. Also, when you do this you will effectively be saving the
VI hierarchy into a new location.
However, your best bet (and my recommendation) is to contact your local NI sales rep to see if they can get you a CD with the 8.5 version. Since you have a license for the toolkit it's probably not going to be an issue.

MC-4 Controller Not Working with LabView

I have a Klinger MC-4 Motor Controller and am trying to control it with LabView. I have thus far not been able to get the motor to move with the driver that I downloaded from this website. If anybody has written anything for this same purpose, I would greatly appreciate your insight. Any help with this problem in either LabView 5.1 or 6.0 would be great. Thanks.

Hello-
It may be possible to modify the existing driver to work with this instrument. Otherwise, drivers are developed and modified based on demand and popularity so the more requests, the greater the possibility that one will be modified. Please send an email to [email protected] about this issue. It would also be beneficial to notify the instrument manufacturer.
