Is my PCI 6071E board damaged?

Hello,
I have a PCI 6071E board that has been working succesfuly until yesterday. I was working with the digital I/O lines (to generate three control signals that were connected to three operational amplifiers, as buffers), and suddenly, from one trial to another, the board stopped working. Some digital I/O lines remain at 2 volts (with some oscillation), with no response to my user program (in MATLAB). Other lines were at 0 volts. I tried to operate with the analog input and output, but no response was given. After that, I run the test panel in the Measurement & Automation Explorer, but it shows the error message: "The device is not responding to the first IRQ level". Is my DAQ board completely damaged?
Thank you very much.

Greetings,
It does sound like your board may be in need of repair. There are a couple more troubleshooting activities I would suggest.
First, you should try installing the board in another computer and see if MAX gives you the same error. If this error is not present, you can then test the functionality of your board with the Online E Series Diagnostic Utility. Below is a link to this utility:

If these activites also indicate that your board is damaged, you can arrange for its repair by creating a phone support request at the following location:

  • Read serial number for PCI-6071e

    Using register level programming, how do you read the serial number for the PCI-6071e (or any PCI E series device).

    Hello;
    NI currently doesn't support register level programming, however you might want to double check the RLP Users Manual for e-series board that is available at www.ni.com.

  • Reading PCI-6071E off by ~.15 volts

    I'm developing a DOS real mode driver for a PCI-6071E card. I've followed the examples in the PCI E Series RLPM and the DAQ-STC TRM, and I can read all 64 AI channels OK. I noticed, however, the readings are off by ~.15 volts (both negative and positive). I ran the NI DAQ software (under Windows 95) to see if it read the same values, but it read the voltage correctly. Surprisingly, after running NI-DAQ and restarting the Win95 machine in the DOS mode, my driver reads the values correctly as well! I assume this means the NI-DAQ did something to the PCI-6071E that I'm not doing in my driver. After power cycling the PC and running my driver again (without running NI-DAQ), the readings are off by ~.15 volts again. I looked through all yo
    ur documentation, but can't find a missing programming step. Do you have any ideas?

    Ray,
    It sounds as though the board is not being initialized properly. More than likely, the calibration constants are not being loaded. You can refer to Chapter 5 of the RLPM to learn more about the Calibration DACs on your device.

  • How can I acquire data in a PCI DAQ board using a SCXI rack?

    Hello.
    I have an acquisition system that consists in:
    · 3 PCI DAQ boards:
    - PCI-MIO-16-E-1
    - PCI-6052-E
    - PCI-6034-E
    · 3 cables to connect PCI boards and SCXI modules
    · 1 SCXI chassis:
    - SCXI-1001
    · SCXI modules + terminal blocks:
    - 4x SCXI_1121 + SCXI_1320 (for voltage analog inputs)
    - 1x SCXI_1520 + SCXI_1314 (for strain gauges)
    - 1x SCXI_1530 (for accelerometers)
    I have been trying to acquire different signals (specially voltage signals that are easier to reproduce) but I haven't been able to do it. I can't read anything from MAX or LabView. I have tested the PCI boards with a SCB68 terminal block (without any SCXI component) and they work properly. Problems appear when I use the SCXI chassis and the SCXI modules. I don't know if there is a problem with the hardware or it is a wrong configuration.
    I guess channels in the SCXI modules correspond to analog input channels in the PCI board they are connected to, but I don't know if I have to read data from analog input channels of the PCI boards or from SCXI channels that appear in MAX (I have tried both posibilities, but they don't seem to work).
    I don't know if I have to use Differential, RSE or NRSE configuration. I have tried all of them. Sometimes I only read noise, sometimes signal is fixed in a limit value (maximum or minimum, it depends), sometimes it's fixed in a value near zero,... I have changed connections and configuration options so many times I can't exactly say when one thing or another happens.
    I have tested only one PCI board with only a SCXI module in order to avoid interaction and confusion. Nothing.
    I think I have tried changing almost every option in MAX, but it doesn't work.
    I'm sure I'm missing something and solution is quite simple, but I can't find it.
    Can anybody explain to me how to connect and configure my system to read any signal? I only need a few steps or highlights. Maybe some clues about what the problem can be.
    Thanks!

    I have several comments and suggestions:
    A) Have you "added a device" in MAX and actually added the SCXI chassis? This step is necessary to get the chassis to work. Click on "add a device" and choose the 1001 chassis . Do this for one DAQ card and one module only initially. The Set Up wizard should walk you through the configuration. If you are unable to add a chassis within MAX, I suspect the chassis is not working correctly.
    B) Once configured, you can examine the SCXI channels in MAX as follows:
    1) Open the DAQ card in MAX and Open the Test Panels
    2) For the SCXI channel to view, use the following convention OB0!sc(n)!md(m)!ch where the letter (n) corresponds to the chassis number in MAX (usually = 1), the letter (m) corresponds to the module number (slot) where the module is located in the chassis, and (ch) represents the channel(or channels) you wish to view. So presuming chassis ID=1, and a module in slot 1, and you wish to view channel 3, you would type the following in the channel field for the DAQ card channel to view:
    OB0!sc1!md1!3 (note OB0!sc1!md1!3:6 will display channels 3 through 6)
    All of the SCXI channels for a given DAQ card are multiplexed through channel 0 of the DAQ card, Channels 1 and up are not used, hence the initial three characters in the SCXI call refer to "On-Board Channel 0 (OB0)"
    C) For the subsequent set up, it will be necessary to first add the additional modules to the chassis (when powered off). Then open MAX and update the chassis. (If you get an error then simply delete the chassis reference in MAX and add a new chassis). You will then be required to set the interface mode of each module as either parallel or multiplexed. In parallel mode, you associate a distinct module with a distinct DAQ card in the host PC. For those DAQ cards that will address multiple modules, you must first configure the modules to be in adjacent slots in the chassis and then assign the first module to the cabled DAQ card - then all of the modules assigned to that DAQ card should be configured in "multiplexed" mode.
    D) Once the chassis has been properly configured, you can click on each module and set the gains, filters, and terminal block types.
    I hope that this helps to get you started.

  • How to achieve image using digital camera of USB-type interface through IMAQ PCI-1424 board.

    1.Is it doable?
    2.How to connect USB-type interface with IMAQ PCI-1424 board.
    Thanks!

    See the Developer's Zone (www.ni.com/zone) for specifics on USB (search for "USB").
    "1.Is it doable?"
    - In short "no".
    - USB is similar to FireWire (IEEE 1394), and no framegrabber is required. We offer an IEEE 1394 IMAQ driver to interface FireWire cameras with LabVIEW & CVI.
    "2.How to connect USB-type interface with IMAQ PCI-1424 board."
    - You will need a USB driver for the camera. The 1424 is not required.

  • Can't add PCI-GPIB board in Windows 2000.

    Installed software:
    NI-DAQ v6.9.2
    NI-488.2 v1.7
    MAX v2.2.0.3010
    After physically installing the PCI-GPIB board and booting, Windows 2000 recognized the card and configured it such that it shows up in Device Manager. Device Manager shows "This device is working properly."
    However, when I double-click on GPIB in Control Panel I get the message, "No GPIB interfaces present in the system."
    If I open MAX and do a refresh the card does not show up. If I right click on "Devices and Interfaces" and click "Create New", select "GPIB Interface", click Finish, select PCI-GPIB, I get "The PCI-GPIB is a plug and play interface and requires no manual hardware configuration for installation. You should now install the interface i
    nto your system."
    What's wrong?

    I phoned NI tech support and they said although NI-488.2 v2.0 recommends version 2.6.1 of NI-VISA, it is not required and still should work OK. Also, as of this date, version 2.6.1 has not been released.
    The good news: I installed NI-488.2 v2.0 and the card is recognized by NI-MAX now. Installation note for anyone else trying it: I installed the software on a fairly fast 1.3 GHz PC. So after installing the board and booting the PC, the NI Add Hardware Wizard started running before Windows 2000 had completed its installation of the board. The wizard's first attempt failed to find the board. When I clicked "Retry," the wizard found the board and it tested OK.

  • Prior H101 A/B Stage with Oasis Blue PCI control board

    Greetings,
    I have a Prior H101 A/B Stage driven by an Oasis Blue PCI control board. The control board has software that really doesn't fulfill my needs and I was wanting to roll my own solution via LabVIEW for controlling/programming the stage movement. I have built a LabVIEW library from the supplied DLL and .h files that works at least for what appears to be reading and writing registers on the board. However none of the activity commands (Homing the stage, move to location, etc.) responds to the associated calls.
    Does anyone have any experience using LabVIEW with this board or stage? The company is not interested in assisting me, hence the appeal to the community. I've successfully done this with other DLL's but frustration is setting in early with this project, I suppose.
    Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. The DLL/software library is available on the Oasis website (reluctant to post).
    Thanks in advance.

    The sample C code included in the manual appears to not set any registers. For example, the simplest program example calls "open", calls "InitializeXY", and calls "close" in order to have the stage recalibrate the limits (XY stage moves to limit switches in both directions).
    I was thinking what you are suggesting might be necessary as well.
    I can successfully set registers (ramp rate, max speed, etc), and read back those registers when the changes are made so I know I'm communicating with the controller, but the actuation controls (move x amt on axis {X}, goto x,y, etc.) don't actuate.

  • Triggering possibilities by the NI PCI-6052E board

    Will you tell me, how to use the NI PCI-6052E board for analog and digital triggering. I want the trigger to begin the measurement, to acquire data before the trigger occurs. In other words, the board must response to a pulse input. Also I want to know other trigger capabilities of the board.
    Thanks,
    Gen

    I am happy to let you know the PCI 6052E has both analog and digital triggering options. You can set your analog inputs to start acquisition on a rising or falling edge of your trigger pulse. If you are interested in acquiring data before your event trigger you can set up a buffer to capture pre-triggered data. Assuming you are programming with LV and Traditional DAQ you can reference the following app note:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/2A03115556FB233386256870005BB522?opendocument
    If the link above does not work, go to
    www.ni.com/support
    under option 3. select 'Tutorial/Application Note'
    Then do a search for 'Tips and Techniques for DAQ Triggering'
    If you are using the LV 7 and the express VIs to set up your DAQ, look under the
    triggering tab of the express vi to set up analog vs digital trigger and buffers for pre-acquisition. If you don't have LV 7, I highly recommend it because the express vi's will help reduce your development time.

  • Help calibratin​g the PCI-4474 Board

    Spoke with a rep from NI. They said in order to externally calibrate the PCI-4474 board, I should use the same procedure as the 4472. My question is this: The steps are:
    1. connect the calibrator voltage to all input channels.
    2. Set the voltage to 5.00V
    3. Check the date (using nidsacal.dll)
    4. Call Calibrate_DSA (I am assumiing I can use DSA Calibrate.vi. This is where I run into problems. I am suppose to set "setofCalConst" to ND_USER_EEPROM_AREA. The calibrate.vi does not have this option. Am I missing something. Then step 5 is to
    5. Call copyCalConst to move the info stored in the user area of the EEPROM to the factory area of the EEPROM. This step I have no problem with because it is called from nidsacal.dll

    Hi Kimberly,
    Actually, you do not need to specify the ND_USER_EEPROM_AREA. The prototype in the DLL is Calibrate_DSA (deviceNumber, operation, refVoltage) and you only need to specify the device, the operation (internal or external calibration), and give the reference voltage. These should be the same three inputs you have available from the DSA Calibrate VI in LabVIEW. Simply specify the device, external calibration, and give the reference voltage and you're set.

  • CPU-Usage during control of a DC Motor with the PCI-7344 board?

    Hello!
    I want do control a DC-motor (no stepper motor). Now i´m using the PCI-6527 board and simulating the delay between "high" and "low" on the Simulate-signal-vi. This works fine while no other process on the PC is running. The CPU-usage rises up to 100%. Is it possible to use the PCI-7344 board for controlling my DC-motor and having enough CPU resources to do other things like capturing pictures with a cam at the same time? The CPU is a Pentium 3 1Ghz.

    The PCI-7344 is a perfect solution for your problem. This board is designed for motion control applications and it's running everything on its own DSP and CPU:
    Trajectory Generation, PID control, limit switch monitoring and so on.
    Thus the PC's CPU is free for other tasks. Please note that you need a position feedback signal from a quadrature encoder.

  • Using two PCI 6221 boards on a target PC

    Hi all,
    I'm currently working on a project which requires real time control, and I was wondering if I can install two PCI 6221 boards on a target PC.
    I've tried using one PCI 6221, which works fine, but what if I add another one?
    Also, would I need better CPU for that?
    Thank you for your help.

    They are both development environments, so the answer is the same for CVI.
    This is more of a hardware question and would be appropriate in the Real Time forums board.

  • How do you do a timed DIG out on a PCI-6025E board?

    Im using a 4 channel DI/O of known frequency and duty cycle, and need a timed output on a PCI-6025E board.

    Hi abradamn,
    I dug around and found a few examples that may help you:
    Continuously Generating Digital Pattern Output
    Which DIO Ports to use on 6025E card
    I'm not quite clear on the wording of your question. Are you asking about having 4 timed channels of digital output, or a single channel of output, with 4 channels of input?
    Also, it might be a good idea to initialize your Digital Ports prior to use. Here is a good document on how to do it.
