Is it possible for visa/labview to become confused?

I have an application that uses visa serial comms to read  quartzdyne sensors from a Qlink module. Two sensors are used. Each sensor measures both P and T. After approx 30 mins of operation it was noted/logged that Sensor A’s value reverts to sensor B’s labiew indicator, and sensors B’s values reverts to A’s indicators in labview. Like labview has becomes confused and swapped them over!
It reverted when labview was momentarily unable to read sensors A; the value was displayed in labview as ‘0’. I can live with a momentary loss, however i cant live with the values swapping over like that.
Is this something anyone has came across before?

The delay is not the most reliable way to handle such situations.
Does the messages sent from the devices have some identifier?
Or you could read a specific number of characters, or up until a message seperator.

  • NI-VISA 5.1.2 exits/closes right after launching it on a Linux CentOS 6.2 PC, also crashes LabVIEW when trying to create VISA ref constant for VISA Open.

    After installing LaBVIEW 2011 and NI-VISA 5.1.2 on a CentOS 6.2 PC, I had noticed a problem with trying to use the VISA vi's in LabVIEW, basically it's not working for me, LabVIEW crashed when trying to create a control or constant for the VISA Open vi.  Tried to launch the VISA tools, they all start and then close abruptly.  NI I/O Trace only shows one line.
    I did read though many threads and decided to collect the NI system.log, which is attached. (system.log.gz).  I did notice a strange message in here about nivisaserver:
    /usr/bin/tail --lines=25 /var/log/messages:

    Hi MountainMan,
    Thanks for attaching the system report log -- I believe I have a solution for you :-) Let's look at a few of the lines:
    890: /proc/meminfo:
    891: MemTotal: 3894712 kB
    1726: /proc/iomem:
    1784: 100000000-12dffffff : System RAM
    1807: /bin/dmesg:
    1820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: 2576: [nipal] More than 4GB of addressable memory detected.
    1838: BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000012e000000 (usable)
    2576: [nipal] More than 4GB of addressable memory detected.
    2577: [nipal] This configuration is not supported. Check the release notes for more information.
    Starting at the bottom at lines 2576..2577, dmesg had more than just the NI-VISA server signing notification. At system boot, the NI kernel modules refused to load because they detected more than 4 GB of addressable memory. But, if you look towards the top at lines 890..891, meminfo says you have less than 4 GB of system memory, which makes it seem like the NI modules don't know what they're talking about. However, if you look at the report from iomem a little further down on lines 1726..1784, system RAM has been re-mapped above the 4 GB boundary. While your system doesn't have more than 4 GB of RAM, some of its memory has addresses above 4 GB, which the NI modules cannot use and so they refuse to load. How did that happen? Your system BIOS provided a physical RAM map with usable addresses above the threshold (line 1838).
    The fix here is simple -- you need to tell the kernel to reserve addresses above 4 GB [1] so that it won't remap the RAM to higher memory. Once all of the RAM has addresses below the 4 GB threshold, the modules should load and VISA/LabVIEW/et al should stop misbehaving.
    It seems to me that LabVIEW is not handling this situation very gracefully, and maybe you can work with Kira to file a bug report.

  • Looking help for developing labview code [Urgent]

    Hi,
    I need help in developing labview code. I am new to labview and will appreciate if someone can help me in this matter. I need to control the intensity of AC load (halogen lamp with 2kW,230V,50Hz) using Labview and Arduino. But my project using interrupt in Arduino, so it is not possible to use Labview Interface For Arduino(LIFA).  I searched and it might be possible to use VISA serial in this matter. Attached is the circuit and the code of Arduino. Someone who is expert in this matter can help me?

  • Small Company looking for a LabVIEW consultant (remote consultant welcome)

    Hello,
    We are a small company looking for a LabVIEW consultant.  This is about a 3-6 month project.  The consultant must be familiar with NI hardware product as well.  Please send me your resume/CV.  In your email please state the following: years of experience, educational background, your hourly requirements, your location, and the amount of time you will be able to provide.
    Please removes spaces on the email below.
    int e g r at e d devi c e s @ yah oo. c o m 

    I'm not sure if this is frequent on the NI forums, since I believe NI validates user information prior to issuing an account that allows them to post to the forum.  But usernames (like mine) don't provide immediate identifications; you have to ask for it.
    Apparently Job Scams have become more frequent.  See the list of tips on the following site, (I have no relationship with this site.  It just came up in a google search).
    http://www.identityhawk.com/IdentityProtectionTips-inHonorof-LaborDay
    5 Steps to Take Before Applying for a Job
    1. Email - the company to get information about the job. Do not provide any personal information to them upfront.
    2. Phone - speak to an official at the company and ask about the job. Be assured that it is legitimate.
    3. Meet - at the company site to assure it is a real company. If you cannot meet, and the company is in your town, drive by to see the facility, (possibly using google maps to view the site).
    4. Verify - see if you can find a person who has worked at the company or call a Chamber of Commerce of Better Business Bureau to assure the legitimacy of the company. Search online for legitimate information about the company, search online for any complaints of non-legitimacy.  State Entity sites typically have the name of the company and how long they have been in business.
    5. Apply - once you are assured the company is legitimate, it is safe to apply; but you should still not supply highly personal information like bank accounts until you are officially hired.

  • Tdms-files: Is it possible to prevent LabVIEW and DIAdem from creating .tdms_index files?

    Hello,
    is it possible to prevent LabVIEW and DIAdem from creating .tdms_index files when opening/creating/editing a .tdms file?
    I think I have no benefit from the .tdms_index files because our applications create a lot of little .tdms-files (repeat measurements). With the additional .tdms_index files we have unnecessary memory consumption and it takes longer for Windows to open the containing folder. Also it´s confusing when searching for a certain file.
    Best Regards
    Daniel
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Baui,
    I'm afraid there's a direct way to disable creating .tdms_index file now from LabVIEW and DIAdem. You can use TDMS Advacend API in LabVIEW, which doesn't create any index file, or you can just make some simple programming and delete the .tdms_index file after closing the TDMS file. 
    This is a request for a long time, we'll consider to add this feature for TDMS in future releases.

  • What is the cause for the mac to become slow

    what is the cause for the mac to become slow?

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. SyncTwoFolders
      6. Synk Pro
      7. Synk Standard
      8. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

  • Is it possible to run labview app on windows embedded compact 7?

    Hi,
           I have a low cost single board computer from ICOP, running embedded compact 7 from windows. The board has all the features such as ethernet, usb, serial, vga etc. Is it possible to install labview runtime and run the labview developed apps on this platform?? If so please provide me the links to any related resources.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks so much Gene. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.
    Btw, should have been clearer  as one couldn't imagine I meant that 5.5 (i.e. ancient one). The adobe website also has this info: Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop version 5 which just says version 5.5 under compatibility. So it does seem possible indeed to run this but perhaps for someone more techie. Had a look at the thread re: 6.0 and tried to run it as admin. Tried copying the contents on the desktop and change the compatibility under properties (even ran compatibility trouble shooter under properties) - but in vain. Must be doing something wrong. Prolly easier to return the CD (:/)
    If anyone could drop an idea in relation to how/where to buy a genuine and legal copy of a CS5/CS6 I woudl greatly appreciate. I bought the 5.5 off eBay and probably will search for the right version this time on there again. But it's a bit of a question mark for me in regards to how do I make sure that I buy a genuine licenced version which I can register with the Adobe.

  • Is it possible to let Labview create displays himself dynamically?

    the number of displays can´t be fixed right now.
    i want to create a huge number of display by using a menu "create a new display". everyone should show another value from a global variable (Array).
    So i don´t want to use static elements - if i would do so, i had to create about 80 digital displays, 20 analog display and a few graphs. But i don´t need them every time - sometimes i need 3 digital and 15 analog displays, another time i need 60 digital an no analog displays. i only want to create 3 foundamental dislays and use them very often with different properties and pointers to the global variable!
    Is this possible?
    Thanks a lot...

    I have in many applications done this by using the picture control. Jean-Pierre first suggested an excellent approach to this in this link.
    http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000A33B0000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_INCLUDE_0=Ben+picture&USEARCHCONTEXT_INCLUDE_S=0&UPostedFromTimeSearchArg_0=8&UPostedFromTimeSearchArg_1=3&UPostedFromTimeSearchArg_2=2000&UPostedFromTimeSearchArg_S=4&UPostedToTimeSearchArg_0=4&UPostedToTimeSearchArg_1=9&UPostedToTimeSearchArg_2=2004&UPostedToTimeSearchArg_S=4&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_0=2&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_S=0
    You can use the "Invoke Node" to get the image of a control. If you combine this method with events configured for the picture control, you can simul
    ate normal LV objects.
    This method takes a bit bit of work, but it does allow the GUI to be taylored as your end user requires.
    You do not have to re-code all of the normal behaviour of your control elements. When a clcik is detected on a simulated device, a real LV FP object can be made visable and moved from its off-screen location to where the user clicked, and key-focus transfered. The user then interacts with the LV object that is on top of the the picture if it.
    It is not easy, but it works great!

  • Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine

    Hi,
    i have an issue with using a LabVIEW interop assembly in a .NET application. I get an exception "Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine" when calling the assembly.
    The little test program is attached below. It's called dotNETHost.exe. If you excecute the programm a dialog with an button appears. Clicking the button shall open another dialog (the LabVIEW Interop component). But the only thing I get is the exception message. The ZIP folder also contains the complete exception meassage (ExceptionMessange.jpg & ExceptionDetails.txt).
    The Interop Assembly was built with LabVIEW 2011. We use Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0.. The dotNETHost.exe.config file is prepared as mentioned in Knowledge base - Loading .NET 4.0 assemblies.
    The Interop assembly contains only one simple dialog (loop is finished by clicking OK) without calling any other VIs or other DLL's.  In case of this there's also no support directory generated by the build process.
    I have no idea why it doesn' work. I hope anyone can help me.
    Thanks in advance

    This may be unrelated, but Labview and .Net4.0 dont work well together. Not yet anyway. I had to compile my assembly in 3.5 to get it to work.

  • How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alerts for when a friend becomes unavailable?

    How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alert for when a friend becomes unavailable?
    Before I upgraded my system from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6.8 - I a had personalized the script for a voice iChat Alert when my husband logged off from work. I had the ichat voice warn me "OH, Crap! he's coming home now! Hurry clean house!" This personalized voice alert did not survive the upgrade. Now, I need step by step instructions to walk me through the process. Please help! I mis my machine shouting funny profane alerts.

    Hi,
    In iChat 3 (OS 10.4.x) there was  Line at the Bottom of iChat > Preferences > Alerts that you could enter text to and it would speak that Text.
    (you could set something against Individual Buddies as well).
    This Setting is not there in iChat 4 or 5  (I presume iChat 6 as well).
    Now it is possible to write AppleScripts that can Speak.
    It is alos possible in iChat 4 upwards to link an AppleScript to an Action/Alert
    At this point my lack of AppleScript knowledge lets me down on what to tell you to do next.
    An Alternative would be to Record a sound with said alert.
    Place this sound in your Home Folder/Library/Sounds
    Then in the Alert opton for youe husband select the Log off option and link that Sound

  • Intel Galileo board - is it possible to run LabView code

    Hello,
    can anybody tell me, if it is possible to run Labview code on Intel Galileo board (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/do-it-yourself/galileo-maker-quark-board.html) ?
    This board is Arduino "compatible", but runs x86 architecture and Linux. So it is possible tu run LabView Linux runtime on this board (and LabView code)? If answer is yes, can anybody provide howto?
    I'm not interested in LINX (https://www.labviewhacker.com/doku.php?id=libraries:linx:linx) which just access the Arduino board. It is just "comunication API" allowing to access arduino board but not to develop a code arduino can run.
    It would be great if there will be possibility to develop all code in for Arduino board in LabView (even with some limitations).
    Thank you for any answers

    They run a "full" Linux. They can run normal compiled linux programs. 
    The Intel board is just a little smaller than the Pi/BBB, with "only" 400Mhz processor, but then it is a x86 processor and not a ARM like the two other boards.
    But I don't think that LabVIEW have any run-time enginen for this board.
    If that is the case then what is wrong with loading up the Linux Run-Time for x86 processors that NI has?  I have no idea what the process would be to bring over the installer or executable but if what you are saying is true then it seems more likely that it could work.

  • PO 'No goods receipt possible for purchase order'

    Hi gurus!
    While trying to make Confirmation of a PO in the SRM Portal the user is getting the error 'No goods receipt possible for purchase order'
    The scenario used is Classic, so PO is replicated directly to the R/3 system.
    Any idea why this is happening?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi, thanks for the quick reply!
    Where i can check the Item category?
    I found a field called 'subitem category' but it's blank
    with this possible values:
    1 Variant                               
    2 Discount in kind: inclusive bonus qty.
    3 Empties

    About PO type i think it's EC (doc_type?), in R/3 is shown as EBP PO
    I checked in backend system, in the item details > Delivery and the 'Goods Receipt' is checked.
