Import MAX configuration without device or simulated device

I'm hoping there's a way to do this.
In previous versions of MAX, it was possible to import Channel and Task information without having to import the Device. This was handy if you didn't have the DAQ boards installed on that PC, but you needed to check Task and Channel information.
I'm currently trying to import an .nce file from a project where I'd used a USB6008 as the DAQ device. I don't have access to one of those at the moment and it's one of the devices that cannot be simulated.
I have tried simulating a similar device with hopes of somehow "tricking" it to import. So far, no luck.
Does anyone know of a way I can have a look at the Channel and Task information in that .nce file or possibly fanagle it into importing without or with another simulated device?

Hi pallen,
I actually don’t know of a way to change the configuration in the .nce file. It's a binary file which main use is to import and export complete configurations when you do not need to edit that configuration outside of MAX. The .ini and .txt are intended for editing outside of MAX. However you can always import the .nce in MAX, make the changes needed and export a .ini to your final destination. Sorry that this is not too helpful on your current situation.

Error 40000015. Can't Import Max Configuration File

I'm installing a build of L.V. s/w that includes max and requires the import of a Max configuration file into max. It's been done on 3 machines fine. When doing it on a machine in a room with heightened security, I get the "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" error. The NI MAX error report gives the following ....

Import C150 configuration on C160 device

Hi All,
We are planning to upgrade our ESA to a C160 since the C150 is being EOL this year. Is it possible to import the configuration from an older device into the newer device? Anything I should take note of?
Thanks,
Jason

It think its hit and miss.
The things that come to mind that are issues are ips, hostnames, the secure channel to AD and the machine account. Oh, and if you customized the end user notification pages, they don't come over.
That said, I personally would set up by hand, unless you can take some down time.
If you can take downtime:
1. Get the config off of the 150, turn it off
2. Turn on the 160, set it up with the 150's ips, hostnames, join it to the domain.
3. Restore the config.
When my 160 had a hardware issue and it was replaced, that's what I did...

Invalid configuration for device 3

Hi all,
I have set up a nested lab with three esxi hosts and two datastores connected with Microsoft iscsi target server. I know nested vm's are not supported but I am trying to set up this lab because I am supporting a real VMware environment and I would like to be able to test certain things before I break anything so it is important. I get this error when trying to create a VM "invalid configuration for device 3". Anyone know how I can find out where the problem is?
Thanks

Please provide some more details about the environment, i.e. nested on what (VMware Workstation, ESXi, ...) Which version (host OS, guest OS, Hypervisors) do you use? How did you configure networking for the nested hosts (stanard vSwitch, Distributed switches)? What may help are the configuration (.vmx) files for the nested ESXi hosts, so please attach them to a reply post.

Check the configuration on the EMC side. This error message is the heart of the problem:
"Unsupported LUN Addressing method 40 in response to REPORT_LUN"
A quick Googling leads me to believe this means you're trying to assign a LUN ID higher than 255 to the host.
Best of luck!

Can I simultaneously configure a device to more than one task?

Can I simultaneously configure a device to more than one task? I am trying to trigger on some of the input data. When I tried to configure the same device to more than one task, I get an error:
Error -10408 occurred at Digital Group Config.
Possible reasons:
NI-DAQ LV: The specified channel is in use.
I have attached a copy of my VI. In the first and second sequences I am using device 1.
Attachments:
Can_I_simultaneously_configure_a_device.doc ‏19 KB

Hello;
The best way to have multiple tasks running on the same DAQ device is by syncronizing those in the hardware level. What I mean by that is, to use the same clock pulse train to clock the different tasks.
For instance, in case you want to do Analog Input and Analo Output at the same time, you can use the AI Start Scan (which is the clock pulse train that will clock the analog input task) to be routed to the AO Update clock (which is the clock that controls the Analog Output tasks of your device). You can extend that idea for counter operations as well.
For digital operations, if you are not using one of the digital boards that support strobed operations, such as the 653x ones, you won't be able to synchronize the digital tasks with the analg tasks, s
ince the digital ports updates through Software calls only.
You are probably getting that error because you are trying to use the Digital Group Config.vi (or some other VI that calls the Digital Config.vi) with a board that doesn't support handshaking operations, such as the MIO ones.
Hope this helps.

[Forum FAQ]How to troubleshoot common issue when configuring user device affinity from usage data

Symptom:
Some clients might fail to automatically configure user device affinity from usage data if you have manually configured user device affinity before.
When you check the UserAffinity.log, you can find the similar error messages as below:
User 'XXXXX\XXXXX' has xxxxx usage minutes UserAffinity
Setting auto affinity for user 'XXXXX\XXXXX'. UserAffinity
Found same state message existing. (was sent before) Skip sending same state message for user 'XXXXX\XXXXX'.. UserAffinity
Figure 1. Error Message in UserAffinity.log
Cause:
As the log said, there is a user affinity state message existing in WMI which prevents client from sending new user affinity state message.
Resolution:
We can delete the user affinity state message in WMI to force the client to resend the user affinity state message.
We can follow the steps below:
1. Run Windows Management Instrumentation Tester (“Wbemtest”).
2. In Windows Management Instrumentation Tester dialog box, click “Connect”.(Figure 2)
Figure 2.
3. Type “root\ccm\statemsg” under the Namespace table and then click “Connect”.(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
4. Click “Enum Classes”. (Figure 4)
Figure 4.
5. Choose “Recursive”
in Superclass Info dialog box.(Figure 5)
Figure 5.
6. Double-click “CCM_StateMsg” in Query Result dialog box.(Figure 6)
Figure 6.
7. Click “Instances”
in Object editor for CCM_StateMsg dialog box. (Figure 7)
Figure 7.
8. Choose the messages that contain "domain/user_Auto" and click “Delete” in the Query Result dialog box.(Figure 8)
Figure 8.
After you delete user affinity state message in WMI, the user affinity state message for the user will be resent. After a period time, we can check the UserAffinity.log to
see if the user affinity state message has been successfully sent. The related information would be similar as below:
Successfully sent user affinity state message for user 'xxxxx\xxxxx'.
Successfully created pending user affinity for user 'xxxxx\xxxxx' into WMI.
Figure 9.

I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate place to add this but - a (possible) cause that I have seen which is not mentioned above is a request for an AAAA record (IPv6 address)
being responded to with an A record (IPv4 address).
DNS debug logging (Windows 2008 R2 SP1) captured requests to
192.225.156.200 and the corresponding responses. In each case the response was followed in the debug log by the event “The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name
in a packet from 192.225.156.200. The packet will be rejected. The event data contains the DNS packet.”
The domain name in the response was the same as that in the query, and looks OK.
The logged query shows an AAAA record (IPv6 address) request and the logged response returned an A record (IPv4 address).
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4074.txt “Common
Misbehavior Against DNS Queries for IPv6 Addresses” says, under “Expected Behavior”:
   Suppose that an authoritative server has an A RR but has no AAAA RR
   for a host name. Then, the server should return a response to a
   query for an AAAA RR of the name with the response code (RCODE) being
   0 (indicating no error) and with an empty answer section (see
   Sections 4.3.2 and 6.2.4 of [1]). Such a response indicates that
   there is at least one RR of a different type than AAAA for the
   queried name, and the stub resolver can then look for A RRs.

Hi,
Probably you were not connected.
Try:

How to configure output device option

DEAR ALL ,
                  I have been facing problem in taking printout in line printer(lp04) with page dimension 305 mm * 215mm for transaction mb90--> output type -->we03 which is not giving the option to choose output device type before print preview option. how will i configure output device for standard output types.

Hi sonu sonu,
   For Your concern you have to discuss with BASIS whehter printer(lp04) with page dimension 305 mm * 215mm is present or not.
   Or else go thru SPAD and check whether that printer has that Page Format or not ???

Configure backup device in SAP(DB13)

I have installed the ECC 6.0 with SQLServer 2005 ,now I want to
configure the backup device in it. I am using external hdd for backup.
Please suggest me how to configure backup device in SAP(DB13) and
database level.
where I have to set the parameters for backup device.
Thanks

Hi..
You need to configure initSID.sap inside Kernel.
Choose backup device type to disk
backup_dev_type = disk
and change backup root directory
backup_root_dir = < Your_External_HDD_adress>
e.g. G:/backup/
Hope it should work....
