Issue using PCIe-1430 and Magma ExpressBox1

Hi - I'm trying to get my laptop working with the PCIe-1430 Camera Link frame grabber and the Magma ExpressBox1. The device shows up in the device manager twice, saying the drivers are installed but there are problems with the device. One device shows error code 10 ("This device cannot start."). The other shows error code 12 ("This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (Code 12) If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
I've tried disabling one and the other PCIe-1430 devices, and I'm not sure what other devices I could try to disable. The computer has 3GB of RAM, so I'd doubt that's the problem. I've noticed that the board is PCIe x4 and the ExpressBox1 interface is x1, but since there is a bridge in between I assumed this would, at the worst, result in a lower maximum transfer rate. The Magma website mentions National Instruments boards in one of their case studies. Any ideas what may be causing this?
Thanks

Hi,
I have been looking into this, and everyone I look the ExpressBox1 has only 1 PCI slot and it is x16. Are you using a different version? If it is only one PCI slot, then it should not show 2 devices in Windows. Also how many PCIe-1430's are you trying to use?

Inquiring about the issue of using PCI-5922 and PCI-5412 simultaneously under Linux OS! Thank you!

hi all,I am lily and I an AE from NI shanghai .Now I confronted a pullze from customer,and I really feel at a loss! Hope some one of you would come and land me a hand,thank you in advance!
The problem is as follows:
Customer use PCI-5922 and PCI -5412 under Linux OS, if they use either of the two cards seperately,there would be OK. but if the use both of the two cards simultaneously, the error will occured as attachment shows. "Error code:-50258 occured at niscope_DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Base).vi:2 Possible reason(s):The specified software component failed to initialize."
Can I know is there any solution vs this probelm?Thank you in advance!!

How can i use PCIe 1433 and basler line camera to construct image and pocess it?

hello! every one ,I am new to machine vision.i have two problems to ask.First,how can i use line camera and 1433 to acquire 2-D image?second,if i want to pocess the 1-D signal ,how can i do it ?i expect for your answer ,thank you!

What you are trying to do is not something you can easily do in a forum, but I can give you the basics.
You have a CameraLink frame Grabber (PCIe 1433) and a LineScan Camera
The framegrabber needs to be configured to understand how to communicate with the camera. You need a file from the camera vendor. This file might already be installed. You can use MAX to check if it is, under Devices/IMAQ.
Assuming you can get to the point where you can communicate with the camera, you need to configure your acquisition.
Since the camera is a line scan camera, it captures image data one pixel ine at a time. You will need to configure the frame grabber to determine how many lines per image you want. The low limit is usually 1, and the high limit is either based on the framegrabber's internal memory, or that of the computer.
If you are using labview, you will need to open a sessing to the camera, acquire the image(s), and then close the session when you are done.
Once the image(s) are captured, you can performa analysis using the NI Vision Toolkit.

No list tree of device and interface, software in MAX sytem. using pci 6034E and chasis 2345

Hye, i got the problem about this device.
I using PCI 6034 E which will connect to SCC 2345 to measure current and voltage.
My os is 32 bit Windows XP.
First i install this software, my MAX listed the tree of devices & interface which is PCI 6034 E and chasis 2345, and all download software are listed in tree of software.
By the way, when i start to measure the current, my MAX is working fine.. but, the problem is starting in the next day, wheni try to measure againt, all the list are dissapear. Then i uninstall all the NI component and reinstall again. Thereare a lot of install and reinstall again and again.. By the way the result is still same. Do not have any tree appear..
so, any colution for my problem?
i try to solve this problem, and i read that when the tree of devices and interfaces not appear, it's maybe because we using driver : NI 488.2 , i try to uninstall this driver.. by the way the result is still same...

sahizansalman,
It looks like the same is happening with the Software list. This is often a sign of a MAX database corruption. I'd try the steps outlined in this knowledgebase:
What is the Process For Removing MAX Database Corruption?
Feel free to post back if this does not work.
By the way, do you know what device is showing up as unknown in the device manager? You did not mention anything besides your PCI DAQ card and SCC 2345, which are showing up fine.

How can I acquire trace data from Agilent(HP)8510c Network Analyser in VB6 using PCI-GPIB and NI-488.2.

I am developing an application in VB6 for measurements with Agilent (HP)8510C network Analyser using NI-488.2 and National Instrument PCI-GPIB card. I want to take data for the whole 51 points. In HPBASIC which used to be employed for this purpose it is done using OUTPDATA command and the data is in a 2-dimensional array. How can I do this in VB6 with the hardware above.

Hi Kapil:
Please refer to a previous post on the same topic:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=140&message.id=7758#M7758
Although this is for C++, the basic functionality should be the same. Since OUTPDATA is from a specific instrument driver, your best bet will be comparing it to the instrument drivers mentioned in the previous post.
Thank you,

How to increase speed of analog read using PCI 6110 and LabView 7.1?

Hi All,
I'm a fairly novice user of LabView and I'm trying to figure out how to make my system as fast as possible. Basically, I'm reading in an analog signal (AI0) together with a trigger signal (PFI0) and I want to sample the analog signal on the falling edge of the trigger signal. What I'm finding, though, is that the acquisition rate of this system is excessively slow. My analog signals occur faster than 1 kHz, but the speed of my system is only about 100 Hz. A colleague of mine told me that the DAQmx Trigger.vi I was using was probably the culprit for the slow performance I was observing. Could this be right? If so, how could I resolve this issue?
Another thought I had was to input the trigger signal into the external source input of the DAQmx Timing.vi. In this way I'd be using the trigger signal as an external clock. If operated in Continuous mode, then I think the Sample Clock would cause a sample to be read only when the trigger signal changes its state (from high to low). Could this work?
Thanks for reading,
Ben

Hi Marni,
Thank you so much for your post! I tried doing as you suggested, using the Cont Acq&Graph Voltage-Ext Clk-Dig Start.vi and I first set the trigger signal as the external clock source. It works beautifully! Now, with 1.6 kHz signal in, I'm reading in 1.6 kSa/s. This is a dramatic improvement from before. I also tried using the internal clock source option, but it didn't seem to trigger when I wanted it to. I didn't spend too much time debugging it, though, since the other method works so well. This brings up an interesting question. Is the DAQmx Trigger.vi really that slow? Previously, I could read in 100 kSa/s at best using the Trigger VI. Anyways, I'm a happy camper now:-)
By the way, to answer your question about the DAQ device, I'm using the NI PCI 6110 Multifunction DAQ.
Thanks again!
Ben

To access Kistler Dynamometer Amplifier (4 component) do I need to use PCI 4452 and PCI 1200 ( I have both of them) with DAQ/LAbview.

If yes How to relate them together both in VI and by Hardware.
Thanks,
Niraj

"Thanks for your attention,
I have Dynamometer with four analog outputs to respective amplifier's,all of which I have to connect to NI's BNC 2140, which will be connected to PCI 4452, now I even have PCi 1200 which is also a DAQ card I suppose. I want to know whether I need to connect both of these together in anyway, and ultimatly will they appear on single VI together or seperatly. Like I have developed single VI for both, but Is it possible to Develop VI with access to both.
Also is it necesary to use both, I want to know whether my application will be handled by PCI 4452 alone,
I suppose I am clear this time about my application and things available with me.
please let me know if not,
Thanking you,
Niraj"

Capturing Issues using FCP 7 and Sony HVRZ7U

I am using FCP 7.0.3
On a Mac Book Pro OS 10.5.8
With 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 duo processor
I am capturing HD tapes to a WD 2TB external drive.
I am using the Sony HVRZ7U as my playback deck All HD footage was shot on Sony HVRZ7U and Sony HDRFX1.
I have my capture settings set to HDV apple pro res 4222
A. I have noticed that FCP is not capturing in “real time” is this due to the hi res capturing setting? and do I need to let FCP finish process footage even though tape is done with capture? (This usualy adds another 20mins per 1 hr off footage) Is there something I can do to maintain high quality and not have to wait for FCP to be behind capture?
B. Having already gone through aprox 20+ tapes I have come across a few tapes that wont capture? is this due to the fact that not all tapes came from the same camera source? or is it perhaps a bad tape? or something in FCP that went buggy? i tried the usual dumping my preference files, but still fcp keeps frezzing on the capture and then not saving any of the file. I tired to capture smaller portions of tape but still no mater where on tape I try to capture I get same problem

A. Yes and yes. Only by increasing the speed of the processor.
B. Maybe because of the different camera types, what cameras are they? It could be a bad tape. Can you view it playing back in your camera?

Security issues using Open Realty and DW (any sites hacked?)...

I am doing a real estate site and woud prefer to stick with DW and integrate the Open Realty plugin rather than jump in to Joomla for ease of manipulating the overall design. Have any of you ever had any sites hacked using OR? I know you have to use pconnect to use OR; does this increase MySQL vulnerability? I am using GoDaddy and am not sure if they even allow pconnect on their Linux/Apache servers...

A Trojan Horse almost always results from someone visiting a web site and/or receiving email and in the process inadvertently downloading malicious software. Therefore, it is the *computer user* that literally invites this malware into their computer. This malware did not get into the PCs on your network because someone on the internet got past your network's "firewall" ie the Airport Base Station.
What someone needs to do is to educate these PC users on your network on the basics of "safe computing", and to install and maintain software on their PCs to guard against and detect this type of malware at the moment it gains entry to the PC. What you do not need to do is expend effort beefing up the security of your network's connection to the internet.

Issues using Internet toolkit and File Get VI

I am able to get the file from the FTP host (remote) on the first run through the program. Every run afterwords is unable to overwrite the existing file on the local machine. Is there a way to "force" the VIs to overwrite the old files on the local server?
I get a file 8, EOF error and 15425 FTP transaction error; 425 connection error.
Also, is there a way to remotely delete files on the FTP host (remote) machine?
Thanks,
Bill

I agree with Corey that you may have issues with the host computer blocking your VI, but the error 15425 seems to fix itself if you change the ftp mode from active to passive. The default is true, but wiring-in a false constant should take care of the error and enable successful file transferring.
The reasons for this are explained here.

Win2000 Performance using PCI-GPIB and 232CV-A

A PCI-GPIB device is being used to communicate with a GPIB232CV-A (IEEE to Serial)converter. A current test setup is operational running WinNT without experience long delays in communication to the serial device. Any ideas why Win2000 should perform differently?

I can't think of any thing that would cause this device to operate faster or slower, by just changing operating systems. It is true that Windows 2000 has a little more over head than NT, but I don't think it would be anything noticable, unless you were maxing out your processor. The GPIB232CV-A should always run the same speed.
You might want to runs some tests in MAX to verify that the PCI-GPIB device resources are setup correctly. Try to run the NI-488.2 Trouble Shooting Wizard.
I hope this helps out.

Audio Issue - Using Logic Pro and iMovie to Create Movies for Youtube

I am trying to use a combination of Quicktime, iMovie and Logic Pro 9 to create videos of me playing/singing songs to post on Youtube. Before I can ask the question, I think it would be best to briefly explain my process, so here's one example:
One thing I try to do is video myself playing piano and singing at the same time. What I do is open up Logic Pro and load my piano sound and arm an audio track that my microphone is plugged in to; I also go to "System Preferences" and click on "Sound" and make sure that my audio interface is selected for the input method. Then, I open up Quicktime and select "New Movie Recording". Finally, I open up my software for my interface and set it up for "loopback"...there's a picture below.
If you look at the bottom of the interface, you'll see it says "DAW 1: Loop Back 1" and "DAW 2: Loop Back 2". Ideally, this means that whenever I start recording in Quicktime, all of the sounds that I am making in Logic (the piano playing and the singing) will loop back into the computer and be recorded by Quicktime. This does actually happen, but my question is this:
I've noticed that the sound quality of software instruments is drastically reduced once they have been recorded by Quicktime (or iMovie) and I play the movie back. Actual audio files, like me singing or playing a real instrument aren't really affected, but for some reason the software instruments sound very thin once I listen to the audio in the movie. Why is this happening? Is there a way to preserve the audio quality to be the same during video playback as it is when I am playing the instruments live in Logic?

Interesting and convoluted way to get something done.. from what you're describing it almost sounds like the software instruments are somehow getting recorded twice but slightly out of phase.
When you record your singing are you monitoring through headphones or speakers?

Controlling dc motor using PCI-7342 and MID-7652

Hi,
I am trying to control an electric linear actuator driven by a 24V dc motor (no encoder). The feedback is coming from an integrated analog linear potentiometer (+10v to -10V). I am using the automatic analog feedback vi and created my desired feedback profile. I began with a Kp value of 9, all other gains set to zero for now. The problem is that there is a constant offset of approx. 8V between the desired profile and the actual feedback from the linear pot. I have ADC 1 configured as -10 V to +10 V. I am not sure if its a wiring problem or there is something that needs to be configured in measurement & automation, axis 1. I am new to motion control so bear with me.
Thanks

Hi there,
Where are you measuring this 8V difference? Is it the difference between the servo output of the MID-7652 and the analog feedback input to the 7652 analog input channels?
If you try changing the PID constants in your control loop, does this 8V difference remain the same?

How to add PCI 7340 and UMI in my labview program from functions palette or how?

Am using PCI 7340 and UMI7764 for motion control of a stepper motor.
How to add the functions for PCI and UMI in my labVIEW program and how
do I use these further? I need to control the direction of stepper
motor rotation based on the pressure applied which we calculate as
either clock.anti clockwise. So which function palette should I use for
that.
We use a darlington pair driver unit. ? The output
from UMI are from the individual axis control whereas the driver input
is through a serial bus. So what kind of cable should we use to connect
the UMI with this and how do we connect this or should we use any other
driver unit? Please explain in detail.
Thank you

Thank you I ll see to it
