Hi, Cannot communicate with other instrument devices (Using AT-GPIB card)

Using AT-GPIB card to communicate with instruments that the running program is in C. After installed 488.2 software and test Hardware Diagnostic Test and Software Diagnostic Test. Everything is OK but after I run execute file the errors appeared. They displayed "GPIB cannot find Amplifier,or Unidex". My main task is transfer the AT-GPIB card from PC 386 to PC windows 98. Please help me to solve these problems. May I still use the old execute file to put in drive C in new PC Wins 98 and run that program. Thanks

Hi,
It is hard to say what this could be. Everything tests OK so it is likely that your card is correct. Does MAX detect the instruments? I am not familiar with that error message. Is it the output of some custom program or the driver itself? It seems like it is not a driver level problem, but it is hard to say given the information.
By "May I still use the old execute file to put in drive C in new PC Wins 98 and run that program" do you mean keep an old application? If yes, then you should be able to use the old applicatoin with teh win98 driver. If you are refering to the driver itself, then no. You will need the windows 98 driver. This can be found at http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/versions.htm
Hope this helps out.

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices?

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices from laptops and or desktop apple devices? From iPhone there seems to be no barriers to this using Messages.

I wonder if Mt. Lion will include texting to "other" devices. For there to be true continuity across platforms this needs to happen.
Right now I am having an interesting thing happen - even messaging with another Mac User I am getting the red ! on all my messages sent from my mac. Yet he is gitting them. I am assuming this is some kind of beta thing.

Is it possible to communicate with two different devices using two seperate serial ports in the same labview program?

The two bits of the program will talk to each instrument successfully if the other part of the program is not running. i do not need them to communicte with both serial ports at the exact same time, just within the same program, one after the other. i am using labview 6. any ideas of what i could be doing wrong?

Hello,
If you are using the Legacy serial VIs, you should really switch to the VISA VIs. Also make sure you are opening a session to each of the com ports at the beginning of the program and closing each at the end of the program. Problems can arise if your try to open a session to a port that already has a session open. Also you should update LabVIEW to 6.0.2
If you are still having problems post the error code and error message you are getting.

Both Firefox and Microsoft explorer cannot communication with other webcites but g\Google Chrone can communicate. What is going on?

Strangely enough the banner information si upto data but I cannot communicate with other cites. the connect box just spins.
This is not true for Google Chrome which connect quickly with all the addresses.

Re:
"Do you have a user.js file in your profile, and did you change the user-agent that gets displayed by Firefox? The setting looks like:
general.useragent.override "
I have no idea if I have a 'users.js file' anywhere; let alone in my 'profile' ...WHAT profile? where?? why? I have never needed to know anything about a users.js file to download or update a browser of any kind.
Nonetheless, IF a 'users.js file' is something that exists, behind the scenes, appearing something like "general.useragent.override" I would have no idea how to locate - or check whether or not I have one. You say it would be in my "profile". A "Firefox" profile? A MAC system profile? A hard disk profile? A Utilities profile? I have no idea what / where this may be.
I will try the suggestion by cor-el: Download a 7.01 - SAVE the dmg (slippery suckers, hard to find again, once arrived). Then I will isolate that in a special folder and remove my current FIREFOX from my computer; and open/install the 7.01 clean.
The only problem is I don't know exactly WHAT is mucking things up for the 7.01 to fully install. THEREFOR it seems I will have to search out and destroy all the parts of my CURRENT browser (icons/volumes/files/ et al) ...hoping that I DO remove the nasty part - and that I DO NOT remove something I need to either (A): keep my extremely deep bookmark files and/or (B): allow 7.01 on my system (as it IS an UPDATE - if I have NO "7.0" - can a "7.0.1" load / install without something already in the 7's to work from?)
I was hoping to avoid this 'search and destroy' raid on my Firefox, for the above reasons; but since I have NO idea what the "user.js file" or its attendant "profile" are, I see no alternative. Unless somebody has a better idea before Monday; I'll go in there and tear it out - after bringing in the dmg of 7.01 first. It'll be a crapshoot; maybe I'll luck out. I HOPE so, 'cause I really hate Safari. Wheeeeeeeeee!

Can I use virtual bench to measure/communicate with other device by I2C etc?

Hi,
Can I use vitrual bench to measure I2C/SPI/CAN by digital I/O or logic analyzer?
And is it possible using digital I/O to communicate with other device by I2C etc?
Thanks,
Jimmy

You might be able to get it to work (not sure how fast the DIO on the Virtual Bench can go), but for I2C, I would recommend using something that is actually meant for it, like the USB-8451 or USB-8452.

In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

Short :
In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
Detailed:
We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
Thanks in advance.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

HT1843 hi my bluetooth cannot see the other bluetooth devices. When it is picked up by a different device tries to pair with it but the pairing does not occur. what can I do apart from throwing this **** thing in the bin?

hi my bluetooth cannot see the other bluetooth devices. When it is picked up by a different device tries to pair with it but the pairing does not occur. what can I do apart from throwing this **** thing in the bin?

It isn't supposed to pair with the MacBook. You can use WiFi to connect but not Bluetooth. You can setup a personal HotSpot on the iPhone and connect the MacBook, or setup the MacBook AirPort to create a network and attach the iPhone, and use the USB cable to connect the iPhone to the MacBook for syncing and backup purposes.
The communications are rather limited.

Can BEA JMS C APIs be used to communicate with other JMS servers?

Hello,
          Can BEA JMS C APIs be used to communicate with other JMS servers?
          If yes, is it enough to download, compile the JMS C APIs, and link the C applications to the libraries (shared or static) produced?
          If not, can you point me to an open source framework that can be used to enable C applications to communicate with JMS servers?
          I have HP-UX server that has both C and Java compilers (Java 1.5).

The JMS C client is a pre-compiled library - we don't supply the source - so C applications link to it. If I recall correctly, there is an HP version. The C client library is actually thin layer that uses JNI to directly invoke a Java JMS client running in an embedded JVM.
          The library might work with other vendor's Java JMS clients, but BEA does not officially support this usage.

I am not able to communicate with my instruments

Hello,
I am a graduate student in India. I
am using NI PCI-GPIB card, which we bought nearly one year back. I am using
LabVIEW 6i. For last two days I am not able to communicate with my
instruments (Keithley DMM 196, Keithley current source 220, Lakshore
temperature controller 93C).
1. I started NI488.2 troubleshooting wizard. It says NI488.2 software
presence verified, GPIB hardware presence verified,GPIB interfaces
sequentially varified. This means Card is alright?
2. I started MAX measurement and automation explorer. It lists GPIB0
(PCI-GPIB) under 'devices and interfaces' folder. After selecting this, If
I click at 'scan for instruments', 'Instruments not found' message
appears.
3. You may say that instru
ments had problem. But the same instruments are
working fine with another system with other card.
4. I agin reinstalled PCI GPIB 488.2 driver from the CD. Now It is listing
three instuments out of four. But the GPIB address for these instruments
are
not same as actual address. It also says instrument didn't reply for *IDN?
query.
5. Everything was working alright, this problem arose few days back
suddenly.
please help me

Dear sir,
Really something surprising. My instument is 'LakeShore DRC-93C'
temperature controller. Probably bought around 7-8 years back.
Here is the actual GPIB add & address read by MAX and correponding
three NI-SPY log.
actual GPIB add*****address read by MAX*****Max Capture(attached files)
25***** 9*****capture_1
21***** 5*****no file attached
20***** 4*****capture_2
17***** 1*****no file attached
10***** instrument not found****capture_3
7*****instrument not found*****no file attached
for first four cases MAX showed 'instrument did not reply to *IDN? query?
Same thing happened when I connected an Keithely Current Source.
(only one instrument is connected,)
actual GPIB add*****address read by MAX
8*****instrument not found
17***** 1
25***** 9
This means MAX is reading GPIB number 16 less than actual Number? Then I tried
to write command at both GPIB address(actual and read by MAX) but both didn't work?
What should I do next?
with best regards
Ram Shanker

Itunes cannot communicate with my iphone

I installed an update and then I tried to restore and i received a message that my iphone (4s) cannot communicate with itunes. (on mac) Any suggestions?

Hello there kellynocca,
Given what you are describing I recommend starting here with the iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1286.
Once you determine that your computer has a USB 2.0 connection, use the following steps to troubleshoot the connection between the device and the computer. Test after each step:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the device from the dock and connect it to the computer using only the Apple USB to Dock Connector cable.If you have access to additional Apple USB to Dock Connector cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
Another article describes what to do if you are using Windows and see an unknown error containing "0xE" when connecting your device.
IF that does not get your device to communicate with iTunes correctly I recommend restarting both the computer and the iPhone.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
As a last resort I would recommend backing up to iCloud, and restoring the device.

Cannot Communicate with Datasocket Servers on Private Networks

I have not had the opportunity to confirm nor deny the reports I'm getting about an application that I've built and distributed, but let me give you the details and I'd like to know if anyone has heard of this and might be able to give me some words of wisdom.
I have a rather simple program that uses a datasocket server to publish data that multiple client computers read (the clients are ONLY readers, and the host is the only writer). The computers are all connected to a 4-port router, and the computers within the network can ping each other, FTP files back and forth to each other, and can also share Windows shares (they're all WinXP computers). These computers have their firewalls completely turned off, and the router has no built-in firewall; my contacts have tested 4 different models of routers and get the same behavior on all 4 of them.
Anyway, on a closed network where the router is NOT plugged into the internet, the client machines cannot communicate with the Datasocket server via dstp (or any mechanism thereof). To communicate with the datasocket server, I use the raw IP address of the computer, like: dstp://192.168.1.100/namespace/variable. When the software attempts to make the connection, errors saying the datasocket server/variable does not exist spew out. Remember that machines on this network can ping each other, communicate with each other via windows shares, and can even FTP files back and forth.
Once a live internet connection is plugged into the router, everything seems to spring to life. All communication with the datasocket server immediately begins working (when it is attempted to connect again).
I initially thought the problem might be related to a stale DNS server entry in the network configuration, but even after resetting the router (so that the router has default values and points to itself for DNS lookups) the problem still exists. They've rebooted the computers connected to the router NOT on the internet to make sure all the new network values are taken, and still no luck.
Has anyone run into this and found a workaround? Unfortunately where we need to set up this network is not near a live internet connection, and we're beginning to be SOL if we cannot find an adequate workaround.
Thanks!
-Danny

Danny,
This definitely seems like an issue with your router/configuration -- unfortunately after searching around I don't have much to offer, but here are a few thoughts --
Is it possible that the router is somehow dependent on its uplink port being connected? Have you searched the router's configuration utility/KnowledgeBase for anything that sounds like this issue? Could it be possible to disable this? Is it possible that some application, whether on the router itself or an application on your client PCs is constantly trying to ping something on the internet and hogging bandwidth because a connection cannot be established?
I was a little confused by these two statements which seem conflicting:
"When the software attempts to make the connection, errors saying the datasocket server/variable does not exist spew out."
"I am usually able to connect to the datasocket
server, but my data coming from the datasocket server is VERY slow and
very spotty. My data becomes stale and is not refreshed any more."
Are you still getting errors as mentioned in the first statement? If not, what changed?
One thing that may be of use is to use a low level traffic monitoring utility like Ethereal and compare packet types and volumes when the Internet is connected and when it is not.

Since the issue began after updating the Windows 7 operating system, I recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the Canon drivers. Please follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the USB cable from the printer.
***Please leave the USB cable disconnected until you have uninstalled and completely reinstalled the drivers. Connecting the printer before going through the "Setup Wizard" may cause the Windows operating system to install a generic driver for the printer.***
2. Select [Start] and [All Programs].
3. Select the [Canon] folder.
4. Select [MF4100 Series] and then uninstall. Repeat the steps for the [MF Toolbox].
5. Restart you computer.
Leaving the USB cable disconnected, please download the driver from the Canon website using the following link: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer

4. Save the file to your computer. Once the download is complete, click "Run".
5. Click "I Decline - Go Back" on the Canon site and select [Software] and the file [Windows 32bit & 64bit] Tool Box Ver.4.9.1.1.mf16.
6. Save the file to your computer. Once the download is complete, click "Run".
7. Close the Canon window and go to the location on the computer where the files are saved, usually [Downloads].
8. You will see two icons with the name MF4150_MFDrivers_W64_us_EN_2.exe. Double click on the yellow folder icon. In the folder you will see two files with the name "Setup". Double click on the "Setup" that has the type [Application].
9. The "MF Drivers Setup Wizard" will open. Please proceed through the setup and restart the computer.
10. After the computer restarts, please connect the USB cable to the computer and allow the computer to finish the installation process. Once the printer is listed in [Devices and Printers], right-click on the icon and select it as the default printer. Please open a document on the computer and print it out.
Please follow steps 7 and 8 to install the Canon MF Toolbox 4.9 software. Once the software is installed, please follow the steps below to complete a scan:
