How many DMA Channels does my device have?

I would like to know how I can find out (progammatically) how many DMA channels my device has. I am using the DAQmx driver. Other than with the traditional DAQ I can't find out anything about my device but the "type" and the "serial number". Where can I get some more details about the device (not in the MAX - I want to know it in my program) with DAQmx?
My intention is to find out how many DMA Channels the device has and depending on how many Channels I need - I am using "interrupts" instead of DMA.
Somewhere in the KB of Ni was written that the NI-DAQ 6.9.... realizes automatically how many DMA Channels are available and how many I would need - and so he takes "interrupts" for the rest.
It seems that they did a "step bac
kwards" because with the NI-DAQ 7.2 it doesn't work automatically if I need DAQmx VI's.
Does somebody know anything that would help me to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Sorry! I posted my first revision of the answer.
Here is what I meant to say:
Hello,
According to this KnowledgeBase, DAQmx and Traditional DAQ behave the same. Are you seeing something different?
As far as a workaround goes, all you have to do is trap the No DMA error. This error should be -200251. So in software, if you receive error -200251, then you need to configure the board to use interrupts, and then start the task again.
How to configure the board for interrupts differs from the four different DAQmx API�s (C, C++, DotNET, and LabVIEW). If you are unclear about how to do this in your environment, please let us know, and we can find
out.

  • How many OSPF Processes does a Cat6500 w/ Sup720 support?

    Hi,
    we've to build many vrf's and have to run
    OSPF on each of these.
    My question is, how many OSPF Processes does a Cat6500 w/ Sup720 can support?
    regards
    kf

    Harold,
    Thanks for the clarification. I hope you don't mind one more question. I have looked it up..http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123newft/123t/123t_4/gtospfvf.htm
    but it is not clear whether multiple vrfs can share the same routing process through the routing context mechanism. If this is not supported yet, then I wonder how scalable this is, and in particular whether service providers will view this as a viable feature considering the demand on resources on a PE router to run multiple (according to the document, depending on platform, up to 10,000!) ospf processes?

  • HT4407 How many GB's Does BootCamp take?

    I Have got a MacBook Air from late 2011, and it's "only" got 128GB's discspace, then i wanted to hear about how many GB's does BootCamp Take?

    Windows 7 specs out at a *minimum* free drive space of 20GB for the 64 bit version and that would likely be very tight for a working Windows machine.  Given the limited drive space on an SSD (especially if you have the 128GB rather than 256GB drive) I opt for virtualization largely so I can retain one single drive partition rather than having to partition between Windows and OSX.  That is, you can have a small Windows virtual drive and then share folders from OSX that will allow using the space as needed by each operating system.
    Of course that requires buying Parallels or VMWare Fusion in addition to Windows, but I figure it's more than than worth it just for the flexibility it gives.
    That said, on this 13" Air with a 256GB drive I have an "inherited" 80GB Windows 7 virtual machine (came over from the old MacBook Pro).  On my 11" Air with a 128GB drive I opted to install a new virtual machine on an external SSD, but I don't often need Windows on that machine.
    The main downside to virtualization is a slight loss of speed, especially on high end video intensive applications (meaning things like gaming).  However the Intel video chipset in the Air is hardly optimal for that sort of thing to begin with, so I wouldn't have gone for an Air for a machine that was going to be dedicated to doing a lot of that sort of thing.

    You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
    From Readers Digest-February, 2005
    How to Complain
          You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
    Have a goal
    If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
    Keep it short
    Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
    Stick with it
    You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
    Skip ultimatums
    Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
    Plead your case
    Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
    Be nice
    You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
    Good luck.

  • How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes??????

    How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes?

    As jules says, your rate (currently at least) may be slow.
    If it used to be good I wonder is your ISP is slowing ('throttling') your speed after you've used so many GB of a quota each day or month - check what they think you should be getting as a download speed.
    While Apple's servers do occasionally play up, it's generally the ISP being slow not Apple.
    If you're using Google's DNS servers that has caused issues for some.
    Recommended speeds for near instant playback:
    SD         2.5Mbps
    720p      6 Mbps
    1080p    8 Mbps
    Is your speed test from somewhere like speedtest.net?
    It might be helpful to post Mbps to ensure we/you are not confusing speeds by using different units to those measured.

  • In How Many ways or Techinques used to have relation beween two factables which dont have common dimesions

    Hi folks,
     In How Many ways or Techinques used to have relation beween two factables which dont have common dimesions
    or 
    how to establish relation beween two factables.
    Thanks
    Ravindra KAvali

    Hi kavali1985,
    According to your description, you want to build relationship between two fact tables without common dimension. Right?
    In Analysis Services, to build relationship between two fact tables, at least you need to have "common" column in both tables which can link these two tables. If so, we can create a fact dimension based on one fact table, then build the relationship
    with the other fact table. Please refer to link below:

    Hi
    we can create two structures in the querl level.
    we can able to create two structures on rows but on columns it allows only one structure.
    key figures can be included in characteristics. characterstics can't be included in the keyfigures.
    we can save the structure as global and locally.
    from query performance point of view its not recomemnded to create the structure.
    it decreasse the query performance.
    it may help you.

  • How many max connections opened do you have?

    Hello!
    I've read so many answers to these questions that, i don't really know what is the correct one. So, i would like to know what do you have. Here they are:
    1- How many max connections per torrent do you have set up?
    2- How many max opened connections do you have in mldonkey (or similar)?
    Thanks!
    Last edited by dienadel (2007-03-08 08:25:36)

    AFAIK it's arround (total connections):
    - <5 for RTC
    - <100 for slow ADSL
    - <500 for medium ADSL
    - ~1000 for high-speed ADSL (and max on Windows lol) ; went up to over 1500, without positive change.
    I use rtorrent & have a limit of <100 connections per torrent (4 leechers max per torrent so they get something)

  • How many porgams (or pages) can you have on your ITouch?

    Hello,
    I have a 32GB Touch with the newest software i think 2.1, and have purchased a lot of programs/games and such. I noticed when i installed over 144 apps on it the new ones i install do not show up. I have 9 pages on it, can you have more then 9 pages or have more the 144 apps installed at one time? When i purchase one on itunes or on th touch it looks like they dont install because i can not turn to the 10th page on the touch but if i delete an app and power it off and power it back on it will appear in the area where i deleted the previous app...So is the a limit on how many programs you can have on the touch? Or is something going on? Ive tried reinstalling everything and starting from scratch but it does the same thing everytime...So any ideas? Thanks in advance

    exactly when you say "most" that isn't all, and we should have the ability to install all the apps/games that we want...I don't want to have to decide before I go out or on a trip which games i think i might wanna play...I think apple really needs to change its thinking on this. All other platforms of PDA type devices do not limit you on how many applications you can have installed, its only limited on the amount of storage you have. So if we have 32GB of storage we should be able to use that amount for more apps

  • How many iPhone backups does iTunes keep?

    I've found where you find the iTunes iPhone backup files (~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup). But I would like a list of how many backups I have. Those files are very cryptic and the dates are all over the place. I want to see if I have a week's worth, or month, etc...
    Thanks.

    You can check in iTunes: Edit/Preferences/Devices, you should see a panel with a list of dated backups. For me there is only one. I haven't figured out yet if it's possible to make it do more than one.
    The page sited in prior post says "Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device..." so maybe it's always one. Apple suggest that the directory where iTunes backups are kept should be backed up elsewhere (Timemachine, etc) to give access to multiple backups. Not so convenient.
    This page (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414) implies there are multiple backups by showing a dropdown list where you can pick one. It's a bit misleading.
    The dilemma I would like to solve is that, through some blunders on my part, I lost some app data that I would like to recover. I was upgrading OS on the iPhone, and in that process two backups were taken automatically. The second one did not have the data I want back. I was hoping there were several backups and that I could restore the data from one of them. Seems it's not so.

  • How many route entries does 3945E or/and 3900 ISR G2 support

    hello guys:
    I have a question concerning about how many ospf and bgp route entries does 3945E isr g2 router support?
    cheers
    tony xi

    Tony,
    This question can't be answered in general. It depends foremost on the amount of available memory in the router. With 256MB of RAM, you can expect that the router can manage roughly tens of thousands of routes. The full BGP routing table (not the BGP database) consumes around 70MB, however, the full BGP RIB on one of the route-views project routers consumes over 1100 MB of RAM (this also depends on the number of BGP peers and the amount of data sent to it by individual BGP neighbors). The exact number is impossible to determine, as it depends on the amount of other control information that the router has to store in its RAM - for example, OSPF LSDB, BGP RIB, the CEF and adjacency tables, etc. etc. etc.
    So you can assume that 256MB of RAM should be working for deployments up to the order of tens of thousands but this has to be taken with a very, very rough and unreliable estimate.
    Best regards,
    Peter
