Installing LabVIEW 8.2.1 with DAQmx 8.0 on Suse 10.2 for Linux.

We recently installed LabVIEW 8.2.1 on Opensuse 10.2 for Linux. After some work, my advisor was successful at getting the install to work with DAQmx 8.0 and NIKAL 1.5. I thought I would post the install notes for anyone who finds them useful. Everything seems functional thus far.

Jeff,
Thanks for the extremely detailed post. I have actually been experimenting with this combination of software for the past couple weeks (i.e. OpenSUSE 10.2, DAQmx, LabVIEW 8.2.1). Your steps match mine very closely. I did have a one thing to add, and one question about your steps. First, I just want to mention that NI-KAL 1.6 has been released and it fixes several issues when installing NI-KAL with newer kernels. This is available at:
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/850/lang/en
I would highly recommend using NI-KAL 1.6.
Second, I wanted to ask about step #2 where you modify the modpost.c file. When I ran updateNIDrivers I was not required to make this change. However I did have to increase the allowable symbol length. I changed the line:
#define SZ 500
to
#define SZ 1024
in modpost.c.
I then proceeded to follow the steps you mentioned and was able to run updateNIDrivers without error. Could you test to see if changing the allowable symbol length fixed the problem without having to ignore the "parse error in symbol dump file." I don't exactly know what the read_dump function does but it always makes me nervous to ignore errors. Since NI-KAL uses modpost to install a kernel module, this failure may be important, although I don't know for sure.
Once again thanks for your awesome post.

New Hardware / DAQmx Install, LabView 7.1 Now Missing DAQmx VI's?

Hello -
I've been running Labview 7.1 and some applications we've built with it for some time now. Due to an old DAQ board failure, we had to upgrade. Upon receiving the new (PCI-6225M) DAQ board, we had to update DAQmx (to 8.9.5) in order for this new board to be supported.
In doing so, it appears that the DAQmx VI's I had for Labview 7.1 were actually removed from the system. When I try to load my 7.1 applications, I get errors saying that it can't find various DAQmx VI's (like the DAQmx Create Task and Read VI's). Since it allows me to browse for them, I browse to the directory structures that *do* have them now (intended for LV 8.2+, which we don't have). If I select these VI's they seem to be found okay, but then I get an error for each VI saying that it's only for a newer version of LabView, not v7.1.
So what gives? What can I do? Why on earth would a newer DAQmx installer actually go in and remove already existing files from my previous install that previously worked fine? I am not impressed. What should have been a simple board upgrade now appears to be setting us back some significant time.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Dennis,
I also have common issue. I am using labview 7.1 with DAQmx version 8.8. Recently, I just bought the cDAQ-9178, which requires me to upgrade my DAQmx to version 9.4. After installation completed, I discovered all my DAQmx missing. My question is:
1. Do you have any patch to let me stay @ LV version 7.1 with the new DAQmx 9.5 without missing DAQmx vis? I need the new DAQmx to be able to connect with cDAQ-9178.
Thanks you for your time, Dylan

With DAQmx, how to use AO start trigger for AO/AI synchronization with finite AI sampling

I am a new user to DAQmx and I am trying to synchronize AI (finite samples) with AO in LabVIEW 7.1 using a PCI 6229 card. I want to generate a finite waveform (AO) and, subsequently, collect a finite number of voltage samples (AI). I would like to repeat the AO-AI cycles in a while loop.
Alternatively, I could use an infinite AO generation and collect finite number of voltage samples on AI but always exactly at the same spot of the AO buffer.
Using traditional DAQ and a 6024E card, I used a counter triggered by AO start trigger signal (example attached). I have problems with translating this example into DAQmx.
Please help!

Lesley,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. Late last night I actually tried a to use AI start trigger instead of AO start trigger and it worked (since I tried the AI & AO to start simultaneously, it does not matter what triggers what), even in the loop. The devil is in details, as I had to carefully wire the number of data points and what to place inside/outside the loop.
The problem with shared clock is that I need to sample the AI and AO at different rates but using AO and AI clock separately did not seem to affect the performance.
I still want to try to use the AO start trigger (as you suggest) because I would like to delay the AI by a few ms from the AO. Is there a simple way to to that?
I suppose, switching from traditional DAQ to DAQmx requires your brain to be rewired - after playing with it for a couple of days and nights I developed a "feeling" for it. One of the differences was that, in order to use this example in the loop, one has to use 'stop task' inside and 'clear task' outside the loop.
Thanks again!

We have gotten it running on two RH6 machines. Took a little

Briefly...
* Make sure you use the latest JRE, and try using the one
with native threads (if not you will have to hand edit the
netasst script and remove the -native flag)
* For some reason some of the libs that get installed are
zero length. Find the thread on this forum where someone posted
some sample code to recreate these. If I remember right its the
libjni library. It is a very short easy compile.
* Make sure you got lots of RAM (128 min) and double that in
swap
* Watch for binaries that get installed without the execute
bit set. For instance I think tnslsnr is one of them, as well as
SQLPlus. I can't remember exactly, but that's one other problem
to watch out for.
So far things here are working. I even tried a little java in a
stored procedure. My latest issue is trying to get the PROC

How to install labview on linux, is there a trial version

I would like to install labview on PC running with Linux. Is this possible ? And shall I use the Windows CDs to do the istll or is there different installation CDs for LINUX. ( I can't find those on the site for trial )?

There is a different version for linux. the windows cd won´t do it.
a trial version seems not to be on the net, but you could ask ni to
send you a trial cd (if there is one for linux..). A full version definitly
exists but if you like to use daq, i would not recommend linux,
because there is only an (pretty poor) open source version for that
on the net. ni doesn´t support daq under linux.
the system of choice would therefore be unfortunally win or mac os x
best regards

In the installation process lion will not install as message reads MAC HD 904 gb available this disk is used for time machine backups .What is the next step

After downloading ,completing the lic agreement phase, the next step is where to install and automatically' MAC HD with 904 gb available this disk is used for time machine backups' is shown and installation is blocked .
Any body got any idea what to do next ?

Time machine needs its own partition to operate. So you are not going install a OSx Lion on that volume.
If there is enough room you may be able to partition the drive on the fly with DiskUtility
Are you saying you clean installed Lion and you are trying to move your user Data over with TM via the migration Assistant? Please explain.

Installing labview with DAQmx

I am trying to install labview 2009 on a new
computer with windows xp but am having some problems. I installed labview and the f3
patch.Everytime i try to install Ni-Daqmx 9.1 I get an error saying
that
The system cannot read from the specified device
This
happens when it tries to install support for labview 1.13.0. Any
suggestions on how to rectify this would be helpful
Thanks
Priam

Hi Prima,
Where are you installing this driver from a DVD or a folder?
I suggest that you download it from here and run it on your machine from a
folder on your desktop. It might be a corrupted download or a bad Disc/Drive if
you are using a Media. You might want to try to copy the disk to your desktop
and trun it from there as well.
Thanks and have a great day.

Labview winxp 64bit *VI coding only* with DAQmx

We have a few workstations in our lab, with a labview 8.2 license for each. One of our machines (few months old dell) has windows xp pro 64bit installed as the operating system. It is not used for data aquistion of any sort, but we do want to be able to write/fix/code VIs involving DAQmx.
The official NI line is that winxp 64 is not supported, but since i don't want to do data aquisition on this machine, there should be some way to create VI with DAQmx.
I have tried an install of labview then a manual install of DAQmx 64bit components manually from the Drivers CD, but it remained invisible to Labview.
Can anyone give me any help with this?
thanks.

Hi
FieldKam,
The first thing i tried was the labview install, which of course did not install DAQmx. I then tried to install the NI-DAQ resource disk onto the pc, which resulted in the installer terminating upon the discovery that is was winxp 64.
I then took a closer look at the contents of NI-DAQ's folders, and found 64 bit installers in locations such as \NIDAQ861-1\Products\NI-DAQmx\.
These individual installers appeared to run without issue, but the ability to write VI's in labview with DAQmx assistant and other components would not show.
Now since, data acquisition would not be done on this machine, i pondered a 32bit install. Win xp 64 does run 32 bit applications as well, but i could not fool the installer to install for win xp 32. I attempted to copy a 32 bit install from another machine by folders and registry keys. This made DAQmx - Data acquisition icon under Measurement IO subpalette, but it lacked components such as DAQmx assistant.
Next i tried a brute force approach: i overwrote the folders with those of a 32bit install, which provided all the DAQmx tools in labview, but then was confronted with the problem that Labview could not find the dll (& other libraries) dependencies. I haven't been able to progress past this point.
thanks for any tips you may have!

LabVIEW 8.2 can't work with DAQmx program written using LabVIEW8.0 ?

My old LabVIEW program is using the DAQmx sub-vis from folder: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\vi.lib\DAQmx
e.g. C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\vi.lib\DAQmx\create\channels.llb\DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi
After I installed LabVIEW 8.2 and NIDAQ831.zip (~600MB), there isn't a folder called DAQmx in folder:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\
When I load my old program, it need I specify the location of, e.g. DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi,
I copied DAQmx folder from \LabVIEW 8.0\vi.lib\ to \LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\
After I copied the DAQmx folder, right click on "block diagram" under "measurement I/O" the folder "NI-DAQmx" comes out and I can pick all the vis inside "NI-DAQmx"
However, all the vis are not executable.
My old program find all the vis needed to load; however, the vis are not executable, e.g. DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi, please see the attachment.
Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks.

You should make sure that in the installer options of DAQmx the support VI's for LV 8.2 are installed.

Install labview 6.1 (or compatible) run-time engine with labview 2011

I have installed a trial period version of Labveiw 2011 in order to check for possible upgrade issues I may have if I decide to upgrade from labveiw 6.1. Well, needless to say there have been alot. That is as expected since I have not updated labview in many years. I am still not under any pressure to update; however, I would like to in order to get support and make sure I do not have any compatibility issues with new equipment purchases. I have been able to resolve most of my compatibility issues with simple code fixes and such. However, twice now I have run into an error when launching labview executeables compiled by two different equipment manufacturers. The equipment I am using is not even old...maybe a year or so. When I launch the labview executables to control this equipment on a PC that has the trial period labview 2011 installed, I get an error message stating something like " This requires a Labview 6.1 (or compatible) run time engine." I have tried to download and install the 6.1 labivew engine but I can't install this engine on a PC which has labview 2011 installed. Can someone explain how I am to run these executables under labview 2011. I can't imagine these executables were developed using 6.1 since this equipment is not even a year old now.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Im not for sure I am on the same page with you here. Im not trying to develop any code myself. I have some labview executables that came with hardware we purchased in order to control it. We used to have labview 6.1 installed; so everything was working ok. But now that I have installed 2011, I get an error message when trying to run these executables. The error message states that this executable requires a labview 6.1 or compatible run-time engine. I have seen this error on both XP and Windows 7 machines. I did not develop the executable, it was developed by the hardware manufacturer. But since this hardware is only about 1 year old, I an assuming they used a newer version of Labview to develop this code. Certianly newer than 6.1.
So I guess my question is..is there a way for me to get this executable to work on a PC that has labview 2011 installed. I have tried to install a labview 6.1 run time engine but it will not install. Any other options?

Can't install niDAQ 6.9.3 with Labview 8.0?

I'm trying to install the legacy drivers for my new/used DAQCard-1200 for use with Labview 8.0. For reference, I've also installed Labview 8.2 evaluation. I've downloaded both niDAQ and Labview 6.1 eng support and ran setup with it all in one directory. The problem is that the Labview 6.1 Support option has a green checkmark next to it and the description says it "won't be installed", that it is already installed and that the installed version is higher than what I'm trying to install. Any suggestions?

At this point I would recommend attempting to:
1) Make sure that National Instruments Software is not listed under Add/Remove Programs (and if it is, uninstall MAX and go from there). Should look something like this:
I don't mean to harp on this point, however it is very odd that the folder is not there at all...
2) Possibly use System Restore to revert back to a point before you 'manually uninstalled'
3) You could also try to use the Driver CD. That should detect the software on the system and you may be able to remove/modify the software that way.
If this does not work, then we may have to work on this "offline" and have me contact you directly. If you give me permission, I can get your contact information from our web team and we can go from there.

Just Installed Labview, it won't recognize previously loaded DAQmx

Just Installed LabView 7.0. Previously had Evaluation version working, even using DAQmx.
Now DAQmx is not recognized by Labview 7.0 (no DAQ assistant express VI at Functions>>Input palette).
Device Driver CD won't load because it's already there... Should I punt by removing all and reload or what?
SIDE NOTE:
Also tried to register this new S/W (purchased from NI last week) but web site (ni.com/register complains that this S/N is already registered... which is not likely as I opened the package myself)

Try running the Driver CD again to get the DAQmx support for LabVIEW 7.0. It is quite possible that when you uninstalled, eval copy, DAQmx support went away because you don't have LabVIEW anymore.
Now that you have LV 7.0, run the DAQmx installer to get the support files.

Problem with DAQmx and Real Time PCI-7041/6040E.

Problem with DAQmx and Real Time PCI-7041/6040E.
I have a problem with the Real Time card PCI-7041/6040E, I think it is properly installed because my software run with the traditional NI-DAQ. When I try to use the new DAQmx to acquire one signal, Labview doesn't see any device for de DAQ card 6040E.
Information, I work on Windows XP and LabView v7.0.0 (NIDAQ RT v7.0.0, NI-Serial RT v2.5.2, NI-VISA v3.0.1 and NI-Watchdog v2.0.0).
Could Labview RT run with new DAQmx ?
What can I do to use DAQmx with PCI-7041/6040E?

Blue screen after installing labview 8

I recently installed Labview 8 Professional Dev. Suite on to a Win. XP SP2 system. The image before installation was stable. After the installation and reboot, the system blue screens (I have been unable to read the exact message on the blue screen) and reboots. I was able to boot if I selected "using last know configuration" option in the Windows XP boot options, indicating that the problem is driver/registry related. After I use the last know configuration, I get an error message "nidevmon.exe - Application Error. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application."
I tried to repair all of the installed NI products without any success.
Device manager shows all devices installed properly without any conflicts.
Please advise on how I can resolve this installation conflict.
Thanks.
--Jeff

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem. When my system boots up I receive the "nidevmon.exe could not be initialized" error message. When I try to manually start the program after startup, I still get the same message. I am running Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] and have also updated my system with the latest patches. I have the ni USB-6008 device. My system is an IBM Thinkpad T40, 1.5Ghz Centrino, with 512MB ram, and 80GB hd. I have installed labview 7.1 and then NI-DAQmx 8.0 that came with the card.
Furthermore, the hardware does not succesfully install on my system. After I install the software, reboot and plug the usb device in, the hardware wizard pops up. However, in the end, I get "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". I suspect this has to do with the nidevmon.exe not initializing. The ni hardware appears to be fine, I have successfully installed the devices in another system. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ni-daqmx 8.0 software several times, and even downloaded version 7.5 from the web, however this did not solve the problem either. I would appreciate any suggestions..
Thanks,
Arash
